“…trauma is a goal of ethnic cleansing. The stages that we have seen in Ohio are all too familiar: the fiction of the subhuman enemy; the false details that are used to introduce the stereotypes; the organized use of the propaganda of racial hatred in media; the capture of government by people involved in all this; and then finally the application of violence to thousands of human bodies. At every stage we will be offered the reasons that we should find this normal…”
“…mistreat animals can be the signal that they are not like us, barbarians, not fully human. Among the many other accelerating repressions, Jews in Nazi Germany were not allowed to keep pets at home. In the US, the slur of eating pets has traditionally been applied to Asians. The idea that Black people eat the wrong things in the wrong way is a staple of American racism.”

“ #Vance was more specific than “carnage,” claiming increased rates of disease and crime.
All of these claims were also baseless and false.
A spurious alternative reality, built from Nazi marches, internet memes, and Vance’s and Trump’s lies was consciously created and spread. The day after the presidential debate, the leader of the Nazi group Blood Tribe understandably declared victory, expressing his pride that Blood Tribe had “pushed Springfield into the public consciousness.””
“The question of who is human and who is not can be defined by animals. In a predominantly rural society, the claim that people are beasts is a suggestion that they can be slaughtered. This is a frequent theme in histories of mass killing, such as the Holodomor (the Stalinist political famine) in Ukraine, or for that matter the current Russian invasion of Ukraine. In an urban or suburban setting, in which animals are companions, the idea that others mistreat…”

“Haitians are Black; and the American group Blood Tribe are white-supremacist blood-obsessed Nazis. After Vance’s speech, Blood Tribe… in the previous two years, wearing masks, distinctive uniforms, and carrying banners with swastikas. These marches were unmistakably Nazi. Vance’s speech drew the attention of Blood Tribe to Springfield.“
“on 10 September 2024, before a national televised audience of sixty-seven million people, Trump led with racial abuse of Haitians”

Some photos from yesterday's #StopICE #protest at the #Ohio statehouse. #Columbus #AbolishICE
Like our parents we now have our Ohio
Gotta get down to it, soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been gone long ago
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

Penny wonders if commercial bakers have exchanged some of their preservative or other ingredients and it's altered the recipe and texture of English muffins here in the US. English muffins has been a staple item for decades for us.
Regardless of the brand, she's tried several named-brands and store brands since she noticed the change, and they are more bread-like and doughy regardless how you brown them unless you burn them then they are burnt doughy hockey pucks. Even Thomas and Bays brands are worse, esp Bays.
This has been going on for around 6 to 9 months in the stores in southwestern and central #Ohio. #Food
I know a lot of the bread comes from the same bakery, just rebranded as other brands.
I'm up visiting family in northeast Ohio and surprisingly there is someone with two meshtastic nodes in this small town, that I'm connected to, and they sent me a message!
I've responded, but I didn't see the message until a few hours after they sent it, so, they might not have seen my response yet
I'm surprised and impressed! this is cool!
Weather is all down from here... We've reached our high, now we go lowwwww with snowwwww. #AppalachianOhio #Ohio #OhioRiver #OHwx #Weather

In the same vein, the are budget proposals to cut significant funding to Chicago's libraries. People need to continue speaking out about it, and make the city fix the budget to keep that funding.
https://blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/05/librarians-aldermen-push-back-against-proposed-library-cuts/
And now for better news:
18 of the 20 levies to fund libraries in Ohio passed; these monies will compensate the lack of state funding that Mike DeWine enabled by changing the formula to fund public libraries with a one line item.
And the two levies who didn't pass, lost by narrow margins.
"Since 2008, 92% of all library levies on Ohio ballots have been approved by voters, according to the Ohio Library Council."
JD Vance's brother Cory Bowman didn't only lose his bid to be mayor of Cincinnati, he got his ass handed to him on a platter with an apple in the butthole. #USPol #Cincinnati #Ohio #JDVance #CoryBowman
