Amy Acton's campaign held a call yesterday with members of the LGBTQ community after Acton was criticized for her comments on Ohio's transgender athletics ban. The call didn't go well, according to Arienne Childrey, vice-president of the ODP Pride Caucus.

Ok when this first came out, obviously the fact one cop shot another got the headlines, and still does. But buried in this story is the way more important detail that THIS SAME DOG WAS SHOT BY OFFICERS IN 2023. He was euthanized this time. RIP to an absolute legend. www.nbc4i.com/news/local-n...

At a bar last night, heard someone giving their phone number to another person and they said “740, which is how you can tell I used to have a drug problem,” before continuing with the rest of their number. Incredible.

what a surprise. again, he reacted like this when the Nazi tattoo was revealed! he wasn't contrite, there was no actual acceptance or suggestion of change, it was pure entitlement and anger. All of this should have been obvious.
