Christofascism is unpopular w the majority. So what? Please understand, public opinion won’t save us from tyranny on its own. The far right isn’t going after success in democratic elections. They want to seize the machinations & authority of government by any means necessary.

I’m from a county that went Trump +25 in both 2016 and 2020. I grew up literally surrounded by (future) trumpers. Growing up, I was *constantly* told, “It will all make sense when you’re older. you’ll *understand* then.” (Long 🧵)

Less than a month ago, a Franklin County Deputy Sheriff, w/o authority or reason to suspect any crimes, followed & killed a Black man in the back while he walked into his own home. That deputy is still employed with Franklin County Sheriff's Office. You know who’s not? (1/2)

They did it. They voted for a bill that will shut down wings of children’s hospitals, lead kids to contemplate suicide, make doctors flee the state, and keep young talent from coming to our state at all. GREAT WORK, GUYS! Dewine is our last defense. Call and ask for a veto NOW.

Well it's official: Ohio lawmakers in 2023 passed the fewest bills in a year since at least 1955, the oldest records I could find. They passed just 16 bills last year (some are ceremonial). The 40-year average is about 100 bills per year. What happened?

Householder’s main defense was, “that’s just how stuff gets done in Ohio”, implying his behavior was a regular practice. The frequency of giant bribery scandals in OH illustrates he’s not entirely off-base… which begs the question: who’s “getting stuff done” this way *now*? 👀

Just learned a mind-blowing stat on Issue 1: 54.5% of the people who have voted or have outstanding absentee ballots are OVER 65 y/o. 54.5%! More than half! Over 65! I guess one thing we all learn with age is the value of civic participation… The rest of you have 4 days:

A very well-meaning realtor told me yesterday that I shouldn’t be deterred from buying property in a low-income neighborhood because “the new Ed choice vouchers can get you like 6k a semester to send your kid to a private school, and theres no income cap so anyone can use them!”

Apparently some OH lawmakers see this and are like, “I, too, am interested in driving billions of dollars away from our state’s economy.” No I’m serious. Some lawmakers in Ohio are, by their own admission, *trying* to follow the Florida path. Yikes.
