It is very very cool to see this launched. And it feels like the first step towards something much bigger.

A newsroom has a community, not an audience (the relationship is multimodal, not one-dimensional broadcast). The more we experiment with platforms that support this, the better.

The Ohio Lesbian Archive's long-overdue state historical marker has been derailed by the Trump admin’s sweeping war on DEI, which extends beyond diversity, equity & inclusion programs to seemingly include anything that acknowledges the country’s diversity of experience: 19thnews.org/2025/06/ohio...

ohio issue 2:

✅ would renew and increase the spending cap for a program that funds public works projects related to roads, bridges, water systems and waste disposal

✅ will not increase taxes

❌ is unrelated to the cleveland browns stadium project, which is still under consideration by lawmakers
Issue 2 on May ballot would help pay for roads, bridges - not Cleveland Browns stadium
Ohio voters are being asked to approve a major bond issue this spring. But it has nothing to do with the Cleveland Browns.
