Ohio!! Let's reclaim our place as the rational reasonable state we have always been. Let's end the reign of MAGA extremists who highjacked our State House and drove us into crazy land. Let's END GERRYMANDERING ONCE AND FOR ALL!!! VOTE YES! ON ISSUE 1! #November5thElection

Ohioans who supported Issue 2, take note. This isn't what you voted for. Now is the time to get familiar with your state lawmakers (some will be new in January 2025) so that you can push back before these laws go up in smoke 💨

@elonmusk @america @elonmusk you represent the absolute worst most reprehensible characteristics of humanity.

Facts!!!

[Gary Daniels @gdanielsohio]

REMINDER: Every county in Ohio, from Vinton (pop. 12,500) to Franklin (1.32 million) gets only ONE early voting location because a majority of legislators at the Statehouse purposely want less Ohioans voting.

@Jim_Jordan Same place your outrage was when you stood idly by and watched those Ohio State wrestling students get molested - repeatedly.

Our democracy - the people's ability to govern themselves, make their own rules, shape the community & society they want - has been hijacked by crass, craven, power-lusting, power-hungry politicians! The time is now for us to reclaim what belongs to us! https://t.co/0o4FImwWSC

We sent a letter to Portage County Sheriff Zuchowski calling for him to retract his social media posts as they amounted to a threat of government action against people who exercise their First Amendment rights. https://t.co/ncezVKMDm5

[ACLU of Ohio @acluohio]

⚠️We just sent a letter to Portage County Sheriff Zuchowski demanding that he take down his messages and issue a retraction.

As a government official, his threats against residents are unconstitutional. Displaying political yard signs is protected First Amendment activity.

This is an appalling move by Sec. LaRose, who swore an oath as Ohio’s Chief Election Officer to ensure voters with disabilities can access the ballot.

This directive deprives everyone who is lawfully assisting another voter from using a drop box - AT ALL.

@DelanoSquires @WendellPierce This party didn't spend $85k advocating for & insisting on the execution of 5 innocent Black teenagers & still refuse to admit the boys did nothing wrong. Why would a Black man vote for the party of Emmit Till's lynching & denial of housing based solely on being a Black man?

Former Trump supporter explains why he’s no longer.

[Gary Daniels @gdanielsohio]

The Ohio politicans gaslighting & whining the most today about redistricting reform are the same ones who abused, subverted, ignored & trashed reforms overwhelmingly & previously approved by voters.

They think you are stupid & do not respect you.

[Hasan Kwame Jeffries @ProfJeffries]

That time when a white dude sat through an entire 90 minute lecture on #TeachingHardHistory, and stood in line for another 20 mins just to say:

“You’re only here because of #DEI!”

To which I responded:

“No, I’m only here because of slavery.”

He left.

BREAKING: In the two days since Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign started, https://t.co/6lHXqhWeZL saw a 700% spike in voting registrations with most of these registrations coming from voters under the age of 34. Let’s go.

I keep hearing “Will @RepJeffries endorse @VP #Harris?

Will he?!?!?

Let explain something - his wife is an #AKA, his momma is an AKA, his parents and his brother (their mom’s favorite) are all #HBCU grads.

Trust, he understands the assignment.
