Columbus, OH📍 I talk about sports, local politics, and urbanism, plus a little bit of everything else! Have a nice day! 🌟
This is a tough situation. Acton shouldn't have said it. But it's easy to say Option 2 is worse when you don't live in Ohio. Her opponent would permanently ruin our state. She's still new to politics. She's since added a pro-LGBT stance to her website. Get her into office and THEN apply pressure.
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 3w agoWhats worse... A single Democratic loss in a statewide race to a right-wing governor? Or a Democratic Party win in Ohio that uses transphobia to get there, teaching dems across the country that this is a new acceptable tactic? The latter results in no party left to fight for us.
Breaking the supermajority in OH Congress is just as important as flipping the Governor seat…
Anita Somani District 8 OH@anitamd.bsky.social · 3w agoThe changes the Big, Ugly Bill made to Medicaid and the ACA are already being felt in Ohio. Unfortunately even more funding cuts will happen after the midterms. Remember this is what the GOP passed without a single democratic vote! #medicaid #healthcare #aca
“Quietly”? I seem to remember the Secretary of Transportation *loudly* claiming that bike lanes were “DEI” and “Woke.” Let’s stop with the lame headlines and start calling it like it is.
NPR@npr.org · 3w agoThe Federal Highway Administration quietly stripped bike lanes and other safety recommendations from a key list of best practices. Critics say those measures are proven to cut crashes and save lives. n.pr/4yoz3dD
Losing isn’t fun. But this is objectively the funniest outcome after the Moron-in-Chief decided to intervene. Oooooooof.
This is incredible, and monumental. Jason Watson is the definition of an American Patriot. Well done sir.
Maureen Berzanski 🧷🇺🇦🇺🇸🏳️🌈🟧🌊 🐾@moberzan.bsky.social · last mo.Today, our friend Jay USAF Major Jason Watson read his oath to the Constitution and demanded that Congress do its job to IMPEACH this President and cabinet. He was arrested on the Capitol steps. #DOOR @defendersofourrepublic.org @removalcoalition.bsky.social @citizensimpeachment.com
Really lucky to live close to a COTA route. I’ve taken advantage of the free buses this week and it’s a great way to avoid the heat + traffic. PS- why is traffic so much worse in the heat?!
COTA Alerts@cota.com · last mo.Starting tomorrow, June 30, through Thursday, July 2, all COTA fares are waived on fixed-route buses, COTA//Plus and COTA Mainstream due to the heat advisory. Stay comfortable, stay safe and let us take care of your ride!
absolutely vital to win the senate this november. need to basically blockade judicial confirmations for the next two years.

Remember scientists aren’t giving up. After the Trump administration redirected Climate.gov and dismissed many of the federal employees who maintained it, former staff members launched a new independent website called Climate.us to help keep trusted climate information available to the public.
Notice how he doesn’t wait until re-election season to fulfill promises. He just fulfills them. How refreshing
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · last mo.BREAKING NYT: A New York City panel just voted to freeze rents for nearly one million rent-stabilized apartments — fulfilling one of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's key campaign promises and handing the mayor a major policy win six months into his tenure.

RESULT: Claire Valdez has won the open Democratic primary in #NY07, and so is virtually certain to head to Congress in 2027. Valdez is the second of the Zohran Mamdani-backed congressional candidates to win in tonight's major Dem primaries, after Brad Lander.
One week ago today Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were assassinated. Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were shot multiple times. We cannot allow this to be forgotten. This is not normal.
Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣
And you thought the left was censorious. How about actual censoring?
Alessandro Rigolon@alerigolon.bsky.social · last yr.I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky
