I miss our free Cbus city bus. We used it to go places all the time where parking is a pain. It was so convenient! Sadly, it didn’t survive COVID.
@amyactonoh.bsky.social is doing the work. #Greekfestival #ohiodems Not all heroes wear capes. It was a pleasure and privilege to meet her.
That test was offensive.
He is literally a senile old man. Wow. Even for Trump, this is unbelievable. Also, didn’t answer the question
Has he ever looked at a map? Finland, Poland, Romania, all NATO countries bordering Russia or Russian semi-states (Transnistria). But Ukraine is different why? Because Russia doesn’t see Ukrainians as anything other than “lower class” Russians. Trump is a fool.
He said only when Ukraine is free. And he only broke that promise for Pope Francis’ funeral.
And Zelenskyy has the moral high ground as well Europe behind him.
And the meetings begin. Zelenskyy looks intense and in command.
Those are three at the top of my head without doing any research.
He helped save the Chevy Volt and manufacturing jobs at the Lords factory in Youngstown during the Obama recovery act. He helped us pass the ABLE Act so people with disabilities can save money and have assets without jeopardizing their Medicaid and SS (long time co-sponsor. ChipsAct
Are you serious? Do some reading about career and accomplishments for Ohio. I live in Cbus and had the good fortune to meet him three times—twice where he was promoting important legislation he was co-sponsoring.
This is an excellent analysis of where things stand Monday morning, before European leaders begin their meeting with Trump.
Important read.
An 8-mile human chain protests Trump policies along High Street, stretching from Rt. 161 in Worthington to downtown Columbus.
Hands Along High St in the Short North—Columbus, Ohio! #nokings #indivisible
Protests happening on High Street, for miles, from 161 to downtown Columbus. Proud of my community .✊🇺🇸🎈

Sophia, Mykyta,their 2-year-old son Lev &their unborn baby were killed by the Russian strike on #Kyiv on July 31. The family was from Sloviansk,fled to Kyiv from the Russian invasion.The Russian missile hit the residential building's entrance where they rented an apartment Deepest condolences...
So, ChatGPT functioned as his editor, because that is what book editors of all levels and types do for authors. If AI can do that well, the publishing industry is toast.
How Trump has transformed the US: 1. The law is that Trump says. 2. Trump changes his mind about most things all the time, so everything is unstable. 3. SCOTUS obeys Trump so law does not matter, only delays. 4. The GOP majority in Congress obeys Trump. = not very democratic.
How people look the other way rather than confront and condemn this targeting against civilians is beyond me.
🤬
Great if you are an exporter, not if you are an importer.
Find other things.
His attacks are getting old and pretty transparent.
My son is looking at colleges and wants to study chemistry, which should be something our country supports. It makes me sick that he should have to think about leaving the US to pursue a career in science. How did we get here?
2.75% is state income tax, not federal. For example, Massachusetts has a 5% income tax. I think your 25% reference is federal income tax, which is the same across the country based on income.
Incredible. Even as Trump reels from his long history with the Jeffrey Epstein saga, he is gutting the State Department’s office for combatting human trafficking www.motherjones.com/politics/202... Details from @pemalevy.bsky.social @motherjones.com
State officials say Caledonia County appears to have suffered the worst damage from Thursday’s flash floods. And nowhere took a harder beating than the small town of Sutton, where multiple homes were severely damaged or destroyed.
#Kyiv tonight Missiles fly as civilians try to stay safe in shelters. Stopping supplies of air defense missiles to Ukraine means a direct threat to civilians, to people like these ones on the video. It means more Russian terror and more tragedies for Ukrainians.
⚡️⚡️ Putin is not just an enemy of Ukraine 🇺🇦- he is a partner of North Korea, China, Venezuela, Iran. terrorist organizations, and drug traffickers. 👉 Ending the Putin Regime is in our best interest. The time is now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwGM...
This is Ohio taxes, not Federal.
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
I don’t even know what to say to the people of Ukraine, but I am happy to keep the pressure on my Senators in Ohio-US.
The aftermath of a Russian strike on Kyiv. A whole entrance of a residential building is gone. As of now, we don't have information about injured and killed. When Russians say they want peace, remember this image.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Columbus, Ohio #Pride, #Nokings was a great day—very festive atmosphere celebrating what makes us truly great!
U Dayton would have been NCAA champs if it wasn’t for Covid. 🤬 #goflyers #obitoppin
Glory to the heroes.
This entire fight is people who think health care is a right vs those who think it’s a privilege. I happen to think everyone benefits if we can all have access to healthcare coverage.
Twitter/X is glitching a lot today.
Daryna and her son were both murdered in their home by Russian drone last night.
Brilliant.
Putin must be crushed. Beating him and the the regime is the only way to end it. Maybe Trump will finally figure that out.
I had a similar issue with my MIL. She was cool at one time, then turned into a Trump-worshipping MAGA. But I didn’t know her back in his bankruptcy days. I just know she fell for his con.
Wow. That is tough to read.
Best flower to share with the public. Lilacs are second!
Barbaric!
Oh trust me, they have been all week.
As an American, I am sorry to say this is horribly sad and very true.
This was an absolute godsend for us.
Are you in a shelter rights now?
Truth
Yes, my daughter has Down Syndrome, so I am pretty nervous about all of this. That is somewhat reassuring.
Oh crap. IEP’s and 504’s.
💥 A whole slew of Americans are finally waking up. Via - Pew Research
Do you think this is directly related to the “peace” plan announced today? I am so sorry for Kharkiv. We are with you, Kate. We are with all of you.
My question, too.
We knew his time was coming, but the timing seems to be profoundly divine, doesn’t it? Anyway, words from our Bishop catholictimescolumbus.org/news/earl-fe...
This is great news. As an American, I am disgusted by my government’s ignorance and incompetence when it comes to Ukraine, so am relieved to see Germany take these positive steps to strengthen Ukraine’s position.
Do it, Bluegal! Take it…!
I hate this so much. We want and need trains in the Midwest but we can’t have them because some people in Manhattan are afraid of the subway? Or the MetroNorth?
I am one signed up, but pretty sure my family of four will be attending.
@justinwolfers.bsky.social
Great, what’s he going to do now?
This is a great feed!!!
Trust me, I have a kid who will vote.
It was a combination of a lot of things. If you make it hard to vote, people won’t vote. But yeah, youth apathy has been a big problem here for MANY years.
😂
Apparently no one in his administration has read a history book.
And the next round had the incomparable Jennifer Brunner as SoS.
Yep! This. Exactly. Meanwhile, I will never forget my friend in Dublin, O telling me there was something like 30 machines at her precinct and no people.
Obama and Clinton both won two terms.
Obama showed a Dem had more paths to victory and Republicans had to scramble to stop him and the momentum. Biden won and they realized they needed to go nuclear.
I have been saying this since standing in line to vote in Columbus, O in 2004. Ken Blackwell rigged that election. 100%. Democratic precincts were starved of voting machines. They had a multi-pronged approach. That is why Obama was such a threat.
Awesome! I want to see Pete out there, too!
Proud to be an OG Meidas Mighty!
MAJOR BREAKING: Governor JB Pritzker just revealed that during COVID, Donald Trump told him he would only send life saving equipment if he agreed to praise him on the Sunday talk shows. Is Donald Trump evil or just completely fucking deranged?
Beautiful
Should the DNI even be on social media?
Sadly, I do not.
Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.
If you are a reporter covering Higher Education, the story right now is that faculty--esp greencard holding faculty--are scared out of their minds. The chilling effect of Trump's actions on campuses is EXTREME. People are canceling conferences, pulling papers, & censoring.
Will my republican friends ever wake up?
He has immunity. He doesn’t care. Remember the case of could he use seal team 6 to kill a political opponent? This is it.
Goodbye central Ohio microchip manufacturing, I guess. I wonder what the Ohio congressional delegation will say about this.
What is the end game?
Agreed, and I see little chance for the US to benefit from this direction. Certainly, some oligarchs could benefit, but not the country.
If Europe stays united, they can stand up to the US, Russia, and China.
I think JD is just fundamentally an emotionally damaged and stunted man. It’s appalling that he has been elevated to the position he is in, but he is there because he is emotionally damaged and easily manipulated.
I hadn’t even thought of that angle. How right you are.
And Daniel, we are not sending our soldiers. We have been sending old weapons that were mothballed in warehouses slated for demolition. And yes, I think we should send more, not because I want war, but because I know European history.
If the US was under attack, they forced us to speak Spanish, and I had friends who were raped and tortured by Mexican soldiers, shot just for fun while they were going to work or the grocery store, people in a different part of the US than me were being hunted w drones on a daily basis, yes.
A huge swath of America still blindly follows Trump. They are completely detached from reality and untethered by facts.
Rubio should resign now.
Zelensky is such a faithful and strong leader. What happened to him today was despicable.
Trump and Vance are a disgrace.
I live in Ohio so I have no influence, no voice or leverage with anyone in Congress other than my amazing rep, Joyce Beatty. But I stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦
