We were keenly aware that the odds were stacked against us as a 1st time candidacy.
Never-the-less, our grassroots, DIY campaign completely untethered from the political & corporate establishment won over 5,000 votes & we're incredibly grateful to all who believed in us! ✊🏾

We gotta stop calling people the (whatever subject) police, i.e. grammar police, dessert police, what have you, because the people who are these types of folks actually do investigate what they are into and get shit done which is NOT what police do.

I hope cincy stops electing career politicians for a few cycles. I want a mayor who’s job before taking office was being a bar back in hartwell, or a maintenance worker in mt.airy

One the many problems with late stage capitalism: lack of innovation.
Folks who run businesses like Netflix have no original ideas to incentivize buying their product & aren't even willing to pay ppl to give them new ideas.
All they know how to do is price gouge.
Quote Tweet
Cancel Netflix. They just lost my business. "Password-sharing" is not a thing, it's called password-using. This is regressive bullshit borne out of capitalist greed to squeeze more money out of us. People paid for a password and they use it wherever they go.

Something noteworthy about Atlanta Police Department that I’m not seeing covered during all the news surrounding their executing a protestor is that APD is actively trained by Israeli occupational forces, and has adopted surveillance and policing tactics straight from the IDF.

I dont think Americans realize how dystopian it is to get pulled over and effectively detained by a gov't agent with a gun who runs through your entire criminal history before issuing you a ticket (or worse) for a traffic violation versus just getting a ticket in the mail.

Atlanta is funding $90 million “Cop City”, where police from all over the U.S. will be trained on how to inflict militant violence on their communities, destroying 350+ acres of forest to do so.
It’d be a shame if thousands emailed and urged the contractors to drop out…

A supermarket in Illinois has to pay about $400,000 after they stole wages from 49 of their workers. Nobody will go to jail for this theft and nobody in the media gives a shit. This is the real crime wave in the US.

I usually don't complain (at least not publicly) about , but I've waited THREE different times in the last few days for a 46 bus that has simply not arrived.
This bus was supposed to have arrived 30m ago, but it's still not here 🤷🏾♂️

And if you are a UC Student who needs to brush up of their protest safety, Sunday at 12:00pm, come to Baldwin 544 for a quick training before we hit the streets!

The cops were yelling “give me your hands!” while they were holding Tyre’s arms behind his back and beating him because they didn’t realize the street camera was there. They were deliberately trying to make the audio on their bodycams seem like he was resisting.

With all these expensive development deals, they're always bringing in these already established, out-of-state restaurant groups as opposed to giving a local chef and/or aspiring biz owner an opportunity to create something new that's wholly original 🙄

Amtrak President Stephen Gardner estimates it will only cost $100m to build the 3C+D rail line connecting Ohio's largest cities.
That's $25m less than the cost of adding one lane of
highway in one direction for less than two miles.

"We don't care"
Why wouldn't working class/working poor ppl care about being extorted by the city in order to park their cars in their own neighborhood?
If your concern is lost revenue, I think this is a drop in the bucket relative to what local corporations are dodging.
Quote Tweet
Broken meters send a “we don’t care” message to residents and neighborhoods. And it’s lost revenue for the city. We have filed a motion to address this in Northern OTR. But it needs to be fixed elsewhere. Will be working this.

"Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to break free." 🙄
there are TONS of undocumented immigrants (specifically in OH) who came via plane (not border), but you don't care about these immigrants since they're not brown, you bigot.
Fuck you.
Quote Tweet
The only way now to stop this continuing invasion is to meet them at the border with armed guards ordered to shoot to kill anyone attempting to enter our country illegally. Why do they think they can ignore our laws? twitter.com/RepMTG/status/…

Remember: with voter ID laws, seeking to limit voter turnout is the only end goal, no matter how much cruelty.
Quote Tweet
So the new Republican anti voter law just signed by our timid governor doesn’t allow veterans to use their veteran ID to vote nor does it let students use their student ID to vote. This is a set back for all Ohioans and is a completely unnecessary restriction of voting rights.

Right wing white ppl willfully self-segregate themselves into hive-minded monolithic enclaves of fellow white right wingers, then concoct paranoid conspiracy theories about every other demographic, which they'd know were absurd if they actually lived around other demographics.

White nationalist Christian fascist Dalton Clodfelter says "we need to protect this country from demonic forces, from Jewish influence and control" by putting "white Christian men back into positions of power."

For someone like me to win, to represent the actual interests of the working class here completely untethered from the political establishment, we'll have to play the long game of increasing voter participation here by 5% with these new voters aligned w working class issues.
