I just got back from a local protest about the abuse, neglect, and violation of civil rights happening in the Venango County, PA Prison. It was hosted by the family of Brittany Chrispen, who recently died there.

If you are reading this, you did it- you outlived that hateful bigot and architect of the stuff we got the Cassandra treatment when we warned folks about. I know some of us didn’t make it, & we are still stuck here dealing with all of this, but take a minute to celebrate- you outlived Dobson.

Wtf. Even if it was guessing “jewelry” you’d think with a space after that it would bump the actually relevant bits to the front.
Search in emojis for “Jew” with a space after it to tell the search that’s the end of the word. The emojis in order are a diamond, a crown, a king, a diamond ring, and only THEN a synagogue, a menorah, and a Star of David.

I wrote a Madison quote (and smaller and less visibly the first amendment) during my last protest out front of Moreno’s office; the sidewalk there is city property so it’s okay to chalk 👍
Sidewalk chalk reading, “the accumulation of all powers in the same hands may justly be pronounced the very definition or tyranny. -James Madison, federalist paper #47The text of the first amendment in blue chalk- it isn’t very visible. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

I’ll be at the Columbus one *with* my kiddo! You wouldn’t be alone if you brought them with. The grassy area at the statehouse seems to entertain the kiddos who show up to the protests pretty well. Here’s the sign my kiddo (5) usually brings (I did the art)
A sign with a hand drawn grumpy cat. It says “doge? No.”

It looks like we all got the same generic response from Moreno’s office at around the same time in a manner that Gmail flagged as potential spam? Did they even open our emails? Do I have any politics journalists looking at how Moreno & Husted’s offices are failing at constituent coms?
Screen grab showing an email from Moreno’s office was flagged as spam. The flagging notification reads, “why is this message in spam? It is similar to messages that were identified as spam in the past” with a “report as not spam” button. The body of the email reads: “March 7, 2025
Dear [redacted],
     Thank you for reaching out to my office and sharing your thoughts. Your feedback is invaluable as we work together to address the issues that matter most to Ohio. We meet with constituents every day in Washington, D.C., and it is the best part of my day.
     I ran for office because I was tired of career politicians that cared only about getting reelected. I understand I work for you. It is one of the greatest honors of my life to represent Ohio and I work very hard every day to do the best job I possibly can.
     I am committed to listening to your concerns and ensuring that your voice is heard in Washington. Every message I receive helps me better understand the needs and priorities of our constituents. We may not always agree, but I want you to know that I respect your passion, your point of view, and your desire to make our great country even better.
     If you need assistance with a federal issue or agency that you feel my office can address, please reach out to my casework team. They can be reached at casework@moreno.senate.gov. You won’t find a more dedicated group to help you with anything from the Department of Veterans Affairs to the Social Security Administration to the Passport Agency.
     Again, thank you for your feedback.
Sincerely,
Bernie Moreno
United States Senator” There is no indication as to what this was in response to.

Kiddo and I had a great time at the Stand up for Science rally in Columbus, Ohio today! They are still going until 3pm, but kiddo was getting too cold. Thank you everyone for coming! @standupforscience.bsky.social
Two signs, one big and one smaller, resting in the seat of a car. The smaller one says “hands off my future” with some of the letters in the style of the periodic table. The bigger sign says “time to react!” And has an Erlenmeyer flask on it.

New sign for kiddo for tomorrow at the @standupforscience.bsky.social protest! Kiddo wants to be a scientist (with heavy emphasis on math) someday, and science funding needs to be robust to ensure that future. (Kiddo drew and colored the “my”!)
“Hands off my future”
The opening in the d in hands is an erlenmyer flask, and “off” and the “f” “u”s and “Re” in future are done in the style of the periodic table.
