If I’m reading this correctly, this bill would mean my husband’s vote would have to be provisional because he got his new driver’s license just before we moved to a new address.
Ohio Senate Bill 153, If enacted, would make it harder for eligible Ohioans to vote, harder to collect petition signatures, place impossible bureaucratic and financial burdens on our county boards of elections
We need to make it clear: Ohioans don’t support SB153

The very first thing Nancy Rogers said to us in her Theory Pedagogy I class was “It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been teaching—the first class meeting is always nerve-wracking.” It stuck with me ever since. If Nancy was nervous, it’s OK for me to be, too!

More stomach churning 😕 All we’re going to be left with are undergrad programs in business and nursing.
The hits keep coming. “The departments that won’t be accepting Ph.D. students now include art history, cinema and media studies, classics, comparative literature, East Asian languages and civilizations, English language and literature, Germanic studies, linguistics, Middle Eastern studies…”
More UChicago Ph.D. Programs Will Pause Admissions
The arts and humanities dean said “nearly all” faculty leaders preferred “a broader pause for the division.” Some social sciences programs also aren’t accepting new students.

China's July 2025 solar production was ~50% higher than its July 2024 solar output!
China's solar generated 839 TWh in 2024 and will likely exceed 1,200 TWh in 2025.
China's solar will generate in 2025 an amount of electricity equal to about 27% of USA's electricity demand. #energysky
