If there's anybody running in Ohio who deserves to lose, it's this guy. Has anyone done more to destroy our state politics?

A worthwhile morning read, with some educational background on why Issue 1 matters so much (remember to vote NO in Aug!)

This tells me that our current social compact is Not Working for many if not most of the country. And if it's not too conspiratorial, I'd suggest that an eruption of far-right disinfo is a way to channel that dissatisfaction before it gets turned towards the true root causes, ie, late stage capitalism.

"However, just because it's protected doesn't mean that the speech is right. Hate speech is not protection. Filming children without their or their parents' consent is not protection. Using harmful tropes and lies to spread fear isn't protection. If my daughter caught even a sliver of what those people said, she knows more about sexual acts than I or any drag queen have ever exposed her to."

So people worked hard to build community, create culture, and make a space for everyone. Then a bunch of spoiled white guys came in and tried to figure out how to make money off of that.
Reddit and Twitter are just history repeating itself.
Finally someone comes right out and says it. The emperor is butt nekkid and it's well past time we stop pretending otherwise.

The same notorious pols in the Statehouse trying to ram minority rule down our throats under the guise of “protecting” the constitution (State Issue 1) are trying to divert $1.13 billion of our tax money to private, mostly religious schools under the guise of “school choice” (which is clearly not choice for all).

What frightens the British Establishment most is the prospect of an independent, progressive, prosperous Scotland being witnessed by the English electorate.
legislators — predominantly Republicans — put forward 185 bills in their state legislative sessions from Jan. 1 through May 3 that would increase the risk of subversion by politicizing, criminalizing or interfering with elections.

"(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."
