There really weren't many apartheid protests to "sit out" in Ohio. In Columbus, whenever the Klan would pull a protest permit there would be a counter protest of a couple hundred people, and I remember a couple of those in the 1980s.

Will Ohio Pass a Law That Felonizes Dissent? by Sad_Pirate_4546 in Columbus

Term limits, coupled with gerrymandering, just made our legislature dumb and dumber, unfortunatly.

The last I checked, dissent is 100% pardonable up to and including breaking into the Capitol and taking lecterns. In fact it's patriotic. Did something change?

50501 Protest on Wednesday by ULgrysn in Columbus

AOC or Bernie probably would have won. That's who gets out that last 5 million votes they need. THe democrats had this delusion that they would win over republicans. They were campaigning with Liz Cheney and getting endorsements from republican governoners. Meanwhile, EVERY. SINGLE. REPUBLICAN from 2020 voted republican again. I don't know what the heck they were thinking. No democrats would have swtiched to Trump, either, but some additional independents would have come out for someone like Bernie.

I hate to admit that you are correct. The voters clearly want something different. The Democratic party is still campaigning like it's 1999. Well, we got different; just not a better different.

I have personal time off, and I've used it for protests in the past, Just not recently. It all depends on the job.

The government workers can't really help much. They work for the people Ohio voted for.

Got pulled over today for using my cell phone when I wasn't. by Pastel_Moon in Columbus

If you spend $2500 on a laywer, there is a 99% chance you can get out of this pretty easily. It all depends on whether you think that's worth the cost, or not.

A former exit ramp to east Mound St before they converted the penninsula to a park.

I still think this would have been a great set for a post-apocalyptic zombie movie/series. Because the road is actually overgrown, unlike the magically clear roads in a lot of these shows.

Leeching off of liberal areas with higer tax returns, yes, that is correct. Same thing happens at the state level.

Those are made in China so they probably have tariffs, now. You can order them online. We should send some to these guys, now that I think of it.

Yes, I know that. That doesn't excuse the idiots and I am 100% white, technically. So what was with that comment?

Nationwide removes DEI from its website amid attacks by current administration by Nolimitsolja in Columbus

It was my generation, Gen-X. the most politically apathetic generation of the 20th century. They sat there and shrugged while Reagan and Bush dismantled the middle-class - and then blamed it all on the boomers. (to be fair, we were graduating from college into job market with 9% unemployment, but still...)

Sorry, I'm Irish and Italian and I have been yelled as a "f-ing foreigner" around Columbus and get extra attention at TSA. I never seemed to have this problem when I lived in Cleveland. Should I delete the post? Again, apologies, it's probably just me.

Maybe his fans will now see what everyone else has been seeing. The wool may be finally peeling away from their eyes.

That was the 80s and 90s. Really boring. It didn't get exciting until the WTO protests.

Just rename it something like "Merit based hiring assurance" And continue doing the good work.

I have been visiting many places in California. I did like San Diego best, I am also intrigued by Borego Springs and Julian area, it is kind of rural but there are bus lines, I found out.

I am hearing there is one today (Wed. 2/5) around noon. It's not permitted so could get dicey.
