One of the most appalling thing Ron DeSantis ever did was to compel me to root & cheer for the greedy lawyers at the Walt Disney Corporation

You don’t have to watch the video of #TyreNichols being beaten by police. You don’t have to subject yourself to that trauma. It should not require another video of a Black human being dehumanized for anyone to understand that police brutality is an urgent, devastating issue.

Numerous roads in Athens County are closed due to flooding. PLEASE do not drive into water covering a road — the undercurrent may be much stronger than it appears. Turn around, don't drown!

BREAKING: Tammy Bobo, Hocking Valley Bank CEO, was appointed to the @HockingCollege board by a caucus of regional school board presidents. The caucus also reappointed board members Stuart Brooks and Leon Forté, but not member Mark Dean. This ends a process marred by controversy.

Imagine wanting to protect "religious liberty" by imposing your religious beliefs on other people.

I dunno if it's the Celtic roots, or too many horror movies growing up, but striking deals with tiny fae-like dolls in my home is a hard no. It's all fun and games until the elf trades the baby for an acorn hat.

some ppl cheer when companies like Gannett lay off journalists because they think it signifies the death of the elite fake news media or w/e. in reality, they’re celebrating their town having nobody to cover school board meetings
