Earlier this week, a mass shooter in #Ohio opened fired inside of a Walmart, injuring four people, before shooting himself.
Law enforcement found at his home Nazi flags and books. Sources interviewed by local news say he promoted Holocaust denial and other far-Right conspiracies.
This is just the latest example of individuals associated with and influenced by the far-Right and white nationalism carrying out horrific acts of violence and terror against the public.
Hardly a month goes by that we do not see a mass attack carried out by those on the far-Right. From Pittsburgh, to Charleston, to Buffalo, to El Paso, to Colorado Springs - ideologies that preach genocide and celebrate racist and anti-LGBTQ+ violence are a grave threat to our communities.
Antifascism is self-defense.

Ohio Republican Lawmaker Files Bill To Allow Cities To Ban Marijuana Use And Home Grow One Week Before Legalization Takes Effect because "voters didn’t fully grasp" what they voted for.
Republicans are saying the 57% of the Ohio voters who voted for #OhioIssue2 #marijuana legalization are too stupid to know what they voted for.
Listen up, MEDIA:
They’re not “mass shooters with Nazi tattoos & Nazi paraphernalia at home.”
They’re Nazis. Say it. He. Is. A. Nazi.
This Walmart is 45 min from me. So, too fucking close to home.
Who would have guessed that two #Ohio #Republican legislators would lie about what a deep red county Democratic elected judge, reelected even during the MAGA movement, would say.
The bill’s sponsors insisted he supported the proposed bill’s amendment. He indicated no such support and was surprised when the Ohio Supreme Court contacted him with the information.

I have a feeling, though, if Issue 1 and/or Issue 2 hadn't passed, we would be looking at them passing the controversial anti-woke higher education overhaul above.

Ohio House blocks controversial anti-woke higher education overhaul bill.
It would have banned public universities in Ohio from having "bias" in the classroom, limited what "controversial" topics could be taught and elimination of the tenure system, making it easier for political termination of professors. It was anti-labor and would have stifled free speech.
The RW Christofascist organization founded by Ralph Reed, the Faith & Freedom Coalition, are sending out surveys in #Ohio that, at first glance, mimic IRS tax documents.

Ohio had a successful implementation of Ranked Choice Voting in the past. This is not something I learned in Ohio History class growing up. It wasn't taught to my children either. Funny, that.
Ranked Choice Voting, formerly known as STV, did exactly what it's possible of achieving. It broke the hold of both parties over state and local issues. That's why BOTH parties fought so hard to remove it.
You can learn more of Ohio's specific history from the fairvote.org article below. Their site is a terrific place to learn about Ranked Choice Voting in general! ✌️

Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks in Ohio is a marvel of Indigenous science and astronomy — its geometric mounds and enclosures helped Native Americans organize cycles of planting and hunting.

The People of Ohio are clear: a strong majority of us want health decisions to remain between patient and doctor and support LGBTQIA+ rights.
Our lawbreaking Republican government, however, does not give a shit, and will happily ignore the will of their constituents and do whatever they want.
Please note: Republicans only win in elections they can gerrymander. Even though we, the people, voted to stop that shit.
That's not a government by and for the people. That's goddamned fascism.
Update. To block #abortion rights, #Ohio #Republicans first tried to make it harder to amend the constitution. They lost that fight. Then they saw a significant majority (including many Republicans) vote to adopt an abortion-rights amendment to the state constitution. Now they're trying to strip the courts of jurisdiction to interpret the new abortion-rights amendment.

#Ohio Republicans are about to be up to some more very bad things ... "To prevent mischief by pro-abortion courts with Issue 1, Ohio legislators will consider removing jurisdiction from the judiciary over this ambiguous ballot initiative."
@RollingStone it would be good to look at all the ways the GOP undermines democracy, call it the GOP assault on democracy. In #oregon the gop minority walked out for over 6 weeks effectively killing our short legislative session. Then a voter approved measure that disallows running again because of excessive absenteeism is challenged. I’m sure this is the modus operandi in many states. #orpol #democracy #ohio #reproductiverights #healthcare #abortionrights

Ohio Republicans Say It’s Their ‘God Given Right’ to Restrict Abortion Access https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/ohio-republicans-stop-issue-1-abortion-rights-1234875333/
This is what the GOP Fascist Party does. Nothing matters but what they want, and the only laws, regulations, or votes that apply are those that benefit them. Trump 101.
Via Rachel Coyle:
This is an actual press release from the #Ohio House Republican Caucus.
They're claiming Ohio's new constitutional right to abortion access doesn't repeal the #abortion bans passed by the legislature
"The decision of Ohio’s voters to protect abortion rights on Tuesday has prompted a similar disdain for democracy there. The vote for that state constitutional amendment was not close—56.6% to 43.4%—but Republican legislators immediately said they would work to find ways to stop the amendment from taking effect."
