Text reads: Save Ohio Libraries.

What is happening?
The Ohio House of Representatives’ budget proposal eliminates the Public Library Fund (PLF). If PLF is cut, libraries will lose about $100 million over the next 2 years.

What does that mean for Libraries?
Libraries could lose 25% or more in funding. This will mean:

- Cuts to programming - like job skills training classes

- Ending community supports like library social workers, free tutoring services, lending non-traditional items, and more.

- Limiting new materials and replacing outdated materials less often.

- In some cases, limiting library hours or closing branches entirely

What should I say?
Your message should include:

- Your name and the city where you live

- A statement, like “don’t cut library funding!”

- Personalize it! Share a story about how you use the library.

In times of need, I believe that we all need to give of the talents we have. Mine is condensing lots of information so others can use it.

Almost half of the country’s health insurance now rests in the hands of a man who once sold miracle pills — with zero proof they worked — on daytime TV.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies.

The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits.

Maybe it's not the judges?

STRESS KILLS.

60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, struggling every day to keep their families going.  

The result: working class people die 7 years earlier than the rich.

We need an economy that works for all, not just the few.

3 years ago, russia destroyed a drama theater in Mariupol, killing approximately 600 people who took refuge there.

Today, russians are rebuilding it, trying to whitewash their crime and erase the evidence. Just like they almost erased the city.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

The Democratic Party’s problems are not about being moderate or left. That’s a consultant and pundit red herring

The problems are in party organization, the culture of “it’s their turn” nominations, candidate recruitment, gerontocracy, inability to shape media topics, and coming off hella lame
