Op-Ed: Amy Acton I recall at the start of March 2020 when the Arnold Schwarzenegger Convention was canceled. I was disappointed. The months of training for the 5K Pump and Run would be

“At a time when the private voucher program has diverted billions of dollars from our schools, you can be assured that Dr. Acton will fight against a rigged system.”
A great opinion on why to support @amyactonoh.bsky.social for Ohio Gov in November!

This is terrifying! What are they really going to do with this information I wonder. I have so little trust in the people running the show.

Elect @hambleyforohio.bsky.social for Secretary of State and you’ll have someone who actually cares about people.

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

Video: Opinion | The Save America Act Is an Assault on Democracy President Trump would have you think that voter fraud is rampant, says the Opinion columnist Jamelle Bouie. The reality? That’s just not true. So why are Trump and his allies so preoccupied with passi...

Spot on! I love how the announcers made a point to say that Alysa Liu’s family came to the U.S. after Tiananmen Square. We used to be a country that people came to because it was a place to escape political persecution.

Just called and even though it’s during business hours, I still had to leave a message. Hopefully the other lines are actually full with angry voters. Or maybe they’re just avoiding my call.

Our country needs to fund public education so teachers can do their jobs supporting students.

This was a great conversation with someone who has great insights into how important public education is to democracy. When Bryan asked him why the Republicans don't support public schools, he was spot on: They don't want an educated workforce that will demand respect and dignity.

Then they pull funding for public schools to keep the population uneducated so they don’t have the tools to demand economic opportunity.

They must be getting scared that when people vote, they will be voted out.

We deserve leaders who will make it easier to vote, not harder. Thanks for spreading hope for saving our democracy!

What MAGA Can Teach Democrats About Organizing—and Infighting Republicans have become adept at creating broad coalitions in which supporting Trump is the only requirement. Democrats get tied up with litmus tests.

Democrats need to start getting over their small differences before 2026. You don't need to agree on everything to know which side will actually make our country great again.

Tell Congress to Listen to Moms for Good! I sent my members of Congress a letter demanding they stop ICE from terrorizing our neighbors. Will you join me?

Call your senators and tell them not to fund DHS. Citizens should not be shot in the back by ICE agents. I called Sen. Husted of Ohio and he no longer has real humans answering the phones but I left a message.

I hope we get notified and can opt our children out the same as parents who don’t want to hear about same sex parents.
