Ha! Not only did I get a 0, I still do lots of those things. Paper maps, for instance. My phone does not need to know where we are or where we are going.

Whelp, I'm old enough to remember when they overthrew the government of Chile and murdered a democratically elected President.

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Texas, County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers: “We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

ICE and masked federal agents are continuing their brutal raids across US cities — targeting homes, workplaces, and public spaces with military-style force — and detaining thousands of community members including children.

Ohio Auditor Keith Faber once referred local officials for prosecution for dereliction of duty for violating Ohio sunshine law.

As a member of the redistricting commission, is he skirting that same law now?

David Pepper @davidpepperoh.bsky.social · 2d

Ohio’s Sunshine Law applies to the Ohio Redistricting Commission.

It is a “public body” created by the state Constitution to perform a governmental function — drawing legislative and congressional district maps

Deliberations and negotiations over Congressional maps must take place in public

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.
