Unless it is with the trans community in which case not only doesn’t she not show up, she throws them under the bus
Dr. Amy Acton@amyactonoh.bsky.social · 2d agoI believe showing up matters. Ohio deserves a governor who is present, engaged, and focused on the people and communities of our state. I’ll always put Ohio first.
MATEWAN is film that all of you should watch. It's a masterpiece that's more relevant now than it was in 1987.

ok this has been niggling at me for years & clicked w/ the current round of “is anti-influencer sentiment just a way to hate women.” BEING AN INFLUENCER IS THE NEW MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING/PYRAMID SCHEME EMPLOYMENT. MLMs created “influencing” & affiliate programs before social media even existed!!!
I have absolutely no patience at this point for people who oppose public hygiene and sanitation for any reason, but oppositon on aesthetic grounds is fucking nuts. When people list the things that make New York a great city, no one says the filth.

All of the Kennedys are simpletons. I have no idea why we have continued for decades to talk about these disgusting people. RFK was a union busting rich kid who worked for Joe McCarthy. Because he opposed a stupid war that most Americans opposed in 1968, he is remembered as a liberal hero.
We seem to be tripling down on a really bad piece and I’ll just register my disappointment. (Alex Pretti was armed. I’ll wait for an explanation as to how that was bad/ineffective)

Phil Berger should let the door hit him in the ass on the way out.
Progress NC Action@pnca.bsky.social · 4d agoPhil Berger & Sarah Stevens have spent their last days at the NC General Assembly writing some of the worst bills of their career, leaving behind legislation that is full of voter suppression tactics and legacies that are big on corruption. #ncpol https://progressncaction.org/2026/07/parting-gifts/

Christopher Hale@christopherjhale.bsky.social · 4d agoNEW: Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, facing ethics inquiries for misconduct, has threatened to strip state scholarships from Catholic schools unless the Church rewrites its vaccine doctrine.
