For about 40 years, a lesbian bar in Columbus called Summit Station was a mainstay in our city's queer community. I was about 10 when it closed, but I'm learning more about its history through a cool film project to help tell its story. This is part one of much more to come:

@mac_sean14 @TheOhioChannel @gdanielsohio Up now is our friend @malgraceg from @KYCOhio. "Young people are people who are entitled to their own privacy. Let's focus on legislation that creates safer environments for our students." 🏳️‍🌈

This ruling is clear evidence that Ohioans HAVE to elect Melody Stewart, Michael Donnelly, and Lisa Forbes to the Supreme Court of Ohio.

I love watching men’s gymnastics because I’m like, “Huh. I always loved playing on the rings on my friend’s swing sets. I could totally do that!” when in reality I’m capable of doing like MAYBE 15 consecutive push-ups max.

We’ve been workin’ 9 to 5 to bring Ohio a Dolly Parton Imagination Library license plate! S.B. 290, introduced by Leader @nickieantonio, would allow Ohio residents to purchase a license plate with Dolly Parton on it for $25, benefitting the Imagination Library. 📚@dollyslibrary

Wanna know how bad JD Vance is? Hi from Ohio — we got you covered: docs.google.com/document/d/1vn…

When people say that Jim Crow was so long ago, it’s important to remember the lasting effects of segregated spaces — like segregated swimming pools — and the continued impact across generations. This visual reflects that legacy.

A reminder that the biggest threat to Ohio election integrity continues to be dark money groups that influence CANDIDATE elections. The HB6 First Energy scandal and recent GOP primaries continue to highlight how pervasive this money is in Ohio politics. Yet, that’s not the campaign finance issue Republican leaders want to tackle (or talk about). /1 cleveland.com/open/2024/04/d…

BREAKING: @COTABus just launched a November ballot measure to finally build the mass transit system we deserve. The plan includes 45% more service hours, 50+ miles of rapid transit lines that will feel like light rail, and 500+ miles of sidewalks, bike lanes, and trails. 🧵 (1/7)

Ohio's corrupt supermajority is choosing to keep Biden off your ballot How to punish them: Show up this November & vote for: 1️⃣) the CitizensNotPoliticians.org amendment -- ban ALL politicians from Ohio's redistricting process 2️⃣) Dem state Supreme Court justices 3️⃣) Sherrod Brown

A recap of today's news, Ohio Republicans are 1) refusing to put the sitting President of the United States on the ballot 2) proposing to make teachers and librarians felons under a vague law and 3) Advocating suffocating prisoners to death with a method vets won't use on animals

🧵 Secretary of State Frank LaRose recently announced his plans to delete thousands of eligible Ohio voters from the rolls just two months before voting starts in this presidential election 1/

How I see the @ColumbusFury Mopsters when they’re in action:

A reminder to protesters everywhere. 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

Parents got heated while standing up for their families... Lawmakers appeared confused by the prospect of two mothers raising a family.

@MariaBruno01 @EqualityOhio @NASWOhioChapter @Dara4Ohio @transohio @DoyleGab @TrevorProject @KYCOhio Witness Golski: "@KYCOhio Kaleidoscope Youth Center stands in firm opposition to House Bill 8. Young people are people who are entitled to their own privacy. Young people are people who should have the freedom to read stories that reflect their own lives and experiences."

@MariaBruno01 @EqualityOhio @NASWOhioChapter @Dara4Ohio @transohio @DoyleGab @TrevorProject Next witness is Mallory Golski from @KYCOhio. She's discussed this legislation with teens in Columbus. On House Bill 8, one kid told her: "By outing children to their parents, it’s putting them in direct danger. You don’t know how that parent is going to react."

"When we censor certain stories from classrooms & libraries we aren’t just taking away the chance for kids to see their lives & experiences reflected back at them, we’re taking away opportunities for those who don’t share those experiences to develop empathy & understanding."
