"(W)e explored recent elections in both states and found a divergence after 2016, with Michigan voting more blue and Ohio voting more red. Our analysis suggests differences in voter registration laws and ballot initiatives may explain why these two states have taken different electoral paths.
Ohio’s unconstitutionally gerrymandered, extremist Republican supermajority in the Ohio Statehouse is the first legislature in Ohio history to try to roll back the constitutional power of Ohio voters

"The good news: Ohio voters can reclaim their rights at the ballot box. Register to vote today, and vote no Aug. 8 in our taxpayer-funded, $20 million special election."
If House Republicans are really so concerned about government spending, I suggest they demonstrate their sincerity by taking a hefty voluntary pay cut. They can follow that up but reining in military expenditures. Only then am I willing to listen to any argument they may make.

We’re at the “first they came for the transgender people, but I wasn’t transgender so…” stage of fascism.
Believe me, there have already been canaries in the coal mine that been checked off Fascists’ lists (POC, those with disabilities, assorted other Useless Eaters). They’re ticking down the list, and your whiteness or wealth will not protect you. Fight now.

So, not for nothing, but using your position as the dominant party in state legislatures to *checks notes* bar your elected opposition from partaking in government or for that matter speaking, is pretty much textbook fascism as someone in my Discord pointed out.
Notice how it's NOT a bunch of SS guys going to her house, it's using the legalist trappings of the existing system to seize power and silence opposition. Like how I told you fascism always ACTUALLY works.

It used to be normal for the House of Representatives to expand.
It wasn’t until 1929 that Congress arbitrarily capped the size of the House at 435 members.
Back then, each House member represented roughly 200,000 people.
Today, that number is 760,000.
Expand the House.

The point of destroying Twitter’s verification system isn’t to make money. It’s to destabilize reporting and make it impossible to determine if sources are legitimate.

Fuck off with calling all these anti trans and anti gay laws "controversial." They're hate laws. They're fascism. They're evil.
Journalists are going to "both sides" fascism until they are literally executed by the fascists.
Demonstrators targeted the location Sunday as word of the shooting started to reach a national audience through social media.

The secretary of state — who is said to be eyeing a run for U.S. Senate next year — has been pushing to increase the portion of votes needed for a citizen-initiated amendment from 50% to 60%. As he and his allies have, they’ve given a shifting set of reasons for why that’s needed.

Rep. Brian Stewart, R-Ashville.. said the 60% threshold was needed because “the left” would undo “decades of Republicans’ work to make Ohio a pro-life state.”
Damn right we will.

This is a really good point.
Why should prosecutors waste their time with presidential candidates falsifying business records to conceal 6-figure hush money payments when they could be prosecuting people for a stealing a bottle of Tylenol?

Eric Trump: I went into literally CVS yesterday and you can’t buy Tylenol because it’s locked behind these glass counters… but yet their attention is going after Donald Trump
