Friend, wife, stepmom, sister, actor in Cleveland, Ohio. Trying to figure out next steps.
Hell, yes! 💥💥💥 Let’s go, Ohio! We’re flipping this state blue! DAMMIT! To register to vote, confirm voter reg, request absentee ballots, or locate your polling station: IWillVote.com Dr. Amy Acton for Governor! Sherrod Brown for Senate!  @amyactonoh.bsky.social @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social
We had a great time marching in the Olmsted Falls Heritage Days Parade and being part of its return after a seven-year absence! We loved seeing the community come together, with all the young families and community members lining the route.
Read Adam’s comment- then read it again b/c this is the evil we are up against
Adam Parkhomenko@adamparkhomenko.bsky.social · 3d agoThis is why they’ll actually cut him loose. Not because he’s a woman-beating monster.
I’m a nurse and a paramedic and for all intents and purposes a scientist Vaccinated against everything you can imagine Vaccines SAVE lives Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool Science doesn’t care what you think, only what you can prove. Fuck RFKjr Asshat. 🖕
There's no reforming this rogue and monstrous agency. The only way forward: Abolish and prosecute ICE.
A lawyer has now spoken separately to the 3 men who were w/ Salgado Araujo in the van when he was killed. All 3 contradict ICE’s account. All 3 say no ICE vehicle was ever in front of them and that agent just got out of the car and started shooting from the side. No ICE agent was wearing a body cam.
This is so powerful. Inspired by the March of a Thousand Robes in Poland, retired and sitting judges in the United States walked down the streets of Columbus, Ohio to stand up for the Rule of Law. #JusticeinMotion
Reminder that Jon Husted voted against lowering the cost of health insurance premiums 9 times.
It's true. Donald Trump is the *perfect* president to be presiding over the 250th anniversary of the white man's declaration of grievances. :)
SiriusXM Progress@siriusxmprog.bsky.social · last mo."I think having this… fascist, white, rich, carnival barker is the perfect mascot for the anniversary of the white man's Declaration of Independence." @elienyc.bsky.social tells @deanobeidallah.bsky.social about Donald Trump being president for American's 250th.

"The question of whether or not Congress should impeach and remove the president isn't a question for polling. It's not a question for political consultants. ... This is a battle for the soul of the country, a battle for its democracy, a battle for its constitution and a battle for the rule of law."
Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.
This is Ohio US Sen Jon Husted, currently running for reelection. I say to all Ohioans, VOTE FOR SHERROD BROWN!!! We need him back, he works for all Ohioans, not just wealthy donors. Go blue, Ohio!
Raw Story@rawstory.com · 3mo agoA GOP senator is catching flak for saying that Americans need to work more, prompting many to point out how his own party created the problem he's trying to address.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
The 25th amendment exists for a reason. This madman is the reason. This post is the reason. @SpeakerJohnson and @LeaderJohnThune, call Congress back into session today. Do your fucking jobs and defend America from this demented and deranged lunatic.

Declaring that no quarter will be given unequivocally violates international humanitarian law. Indeed, ordering that no quarter will be given, threatening an adversary therewith or conducting hostilities on this basis is prohibited and constitutes a war crime.
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 5mo agoHegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
It’s a dark day in America when a sitting Member of Congress has to remind the president that Black people are not apes. I stand with Al Green.

Today, I sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro informing them that I will not be sitting down with them for their inquiry over a 90-second video I filmed in November. Here's why.

It's past time to start speaking up about what's happening People "ignoring politics" are part of the problem
Rhuta Bhayga@rhutabhayga.bsky.social · 6mo agoThis is a very powerful video from comedian Josh Johnson. Not just because what he says that's meaningful. But because it shows an emerging trend that high profile people have finally started speaking up, despite concerns it might alienate their followers. It is time to choose sides.
Republican politicians who think that Minneapolis is a political problem are missing the point. It is a moral problem. But they are in so deep that they cannot see just how morally bankrupt they have become. They do not understand that we are as revulsed by their complicity as by Trump's cruelty.
