I am SO PROUD to call @RandiClites my friend. She fearlessly advocates, stands unwavering in the face of adversity, & refuses to accept anything less than what is right.
She has always fought for the people of Portage County with grit, grace, & determination.
Voter suppression via intimidation should NEVER be tolerated in America nor the Buckeye State.
Good on the Board of Elections members for voting in favor of Randi’s motion. 👏

new announcement from cops on South Oval: disperse immediately or get arrested.
Protesters have tightened their circle and are chanting, “long live Palestine” and “we are the revolution” loudly.

This is really a "holy shit" story
The NTSB testified to the U.S. Senate that Norfolk Southern had no scientific reason to burn off huge amounts of hazardous chemicals into the East Palestine air.

Once again, the Ohio General Assembly shows more urgency in stripping away the rights and livelihoods of trans and gender noncomforming Ohioans than they do in addressing ANY other issue. Overriding this veto and continuing to demonize this community causes untold harm.
⏰The Ohio House will meet at 2pm today to vote on overriding @GovMikeDeWine's veto of HB 68.
We will be covering the session. Follow this thread for live updates. 🧵

Sigh. Always a bridesmaid, never a sentient pop tart that gets toasted and eaten alive. 😔

This fight has been long, years and years of organizing and protesting and testifying and holding the line on ban after ban in Ohio.
Ohio’s repro activists and advocates have fought to keep Ohio women alive, safe, and free for decades. I am so proud of them 💖 #Issue1

Ohio, there’s an important election happening right now.
If you want to protect abortion rights by making them part of your state Constitution, vote yes on Issue 1.
Visit ohiodems.org/yeson1 and make your plan to vote before November 7th.

Something important flew below the radar this week:
A big crowd from East Palestine drove 3+ hours to Columbus to interrupt the House floor session and demand the governor apply for federal disaster aid.

So to sum up: OH House GOP used a questionable maneuver to re-create an August election they had already gotten rid of, in order to try & convince Ohioans to vote against their own democratic interest, all to preempt a November abortion rights amendment most Ohioans say they want
