Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

ACLU @aclu.org · 5d

The government has executed more people in 2025 than any year in over a decade — and there are five more executions scheduled over the next week.

Just a handful of states are responsible for these executions, and they’re increasingly out of step with public opinion.

My favorite part about going downtown #Cleveland to vote early is the tradition we have of picking up Crispy Chick at Woodland and E. 55th. Best chicken wrap around!

Chicken wrap on plate. Delicious looking.

Maybe we need more Mormon women in Ohio.

In Utah, a group that helped prompt the redistricting says it's acting on faith

Mormon Women for Ethical Government was one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit that could overturn Utah's Republican-leaning map for U.S. House seats. That could matter in next year's elections.

I remember trying to find Worcester on a map. Mind you, in Ohio we have Wooster which is pronounced the same way. I never found it.

Our state GOP is beyond out of control. I just wrote to my state legislators for the umpteenth time this morning about the redistricting debacle. They are both Rep and I keep reminding them that they represent all of us and they need to speak out.

Yes, imagine feeling so inadequate, so internally deficit, that two hundred plus billion dollars, is just not enough to quench your lusts.

I had to look it up. Crispy, cracker thin crust was not a particularly attractive beginning to the description. It didn't get much better from there.
