Just a reminder that my opponent is a genocide lover who pledged allegiance to Netanyahu.
He has never, nor will ever be for, or do anything for the Palestinian & Muslim people of Ohio, this country, or world unless it benefits him personally.
It’s frankly deplorable & makes me physically ill.

This is a horrible tragedy. There's a lot left to learn, but if it's a tragedy caused in any part by unsafe working conditions, I hope TN realizes that they can have better. It's time for families over billionaires.

OUR WORKERS DESERVE TO LIVE.
The explosion in McEwen wasn’t just a tragedy—it was a heartbreak for an entire community. Parents and siblings went to work and never came home. Tennessee families deserve safety, dignity, and accountability. A job should never cost you your life.

"But as the legal scholar Neil Siegel told me, “Whether it’s John Marshall or John Roberts, when justices say, ‘We do law, not politics,’ they are acting politically, not legally.”"

Right. John Roberts is a politician, and he's not just protecting his own power, he's advancing GOP power.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Don't you wish there was a website with 100s of criminals, sycophants, bigots, pedophiles, misogynists, traitors, and sexual deviants who contributed to Trump's 1st administration?

What if website included 1000s of sources?

Here it is.

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Don’t be fooled by lies being shopped around by #CF47 & his sycophants abt Antifa. To fascists, Antifa supports dangerous ideas: democracy, free speech, freedom of/from religion & who to love & marry, people having control of their own bodies, women voting & working & much more.

Bernard Leclair @bernardleclair.bsky.social · 14h

It's an old NAZI'S tactic, you demonize an undefine enemy (Antifa) and blame every thing negative on it. The problem is that Antifa is a concept, an idea.
here is a photo of the founders of the Antifa:

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Hey Stephen Douchebag NaziFeratu Miller:

If there was ACTUAL left-wing terrorism in the USA, you would not be in the White House, because you would’ve all been ended before January 20th.

Hell, you guys wouldn’t have even made it till November 2024, if anything you said was true, you nasty Nazi.

Nasty little jerkwad:

Stephen Miller @StephenM

The issue before is now is very simple and clear.
There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.

(Hey NaziFeratu, Nuremberg 2.0 is coming for you, bitch.)
