Vivek Ramaswamy and Amy Acton are locked in one of, if not the most, deeply personal, nasty races in the nation. cincinnati.com/story/news/po…

the reason this women is calling her own daughter a liar is because her husband sexually abused amy as a child, and then donna stood by him until the day he died. amy hasn’t spoken to her since 1978. naturally, this is who the party of “protecting children” gets to do an ad
BOMBSHELL:
Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton’s own mother urges voters not to vote for her daughter.
“My name is Donna Arthur and I’m Amy Acton’s mother. I worked at Children and Family Service Association, building one of the first two sexual abuse programs in America.
I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent—and it’s not easy for a mother to say this—but Amy has a serious problem.
She is a liar. She lies about her past. She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true. She’s lied her entire life.
My daughter needs help, and she can’t help you if she needs help herself. People can change, but first they have to tell the truth, and my daughter still isn’t doing that.
Don’t vote for people who lie. Don’t let her become your governor. If you think she’ll make your life better, you’re fooling yourself. It will only get worse.”
That’s one hell of an October surprise.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Donna Arthur lost custody of her children 48 years ago due to poor living conditions and charges against Donna’s husband of child molestation. Dr. Acton has not seen her estranged mother since then suggesting that Donna is unlikely to have reliable insights about Dr. Acton.

In 1934, we added a gender-neutral pronoun for a single third person.
‘Thon’ was short for “that one.”
It didn’t catch on.

Trump plans to charge $100,000 per month for faster access to his official government announcments on Truth Social.
This is massively corrupt.
So we brought a new lawsuit to stop Trump from profiteering like this.

Free Ya’akub NOW!
ICE arrested and detained him for exercising his First Amendment rights to speak out against genocide, and now they’re trying to deport him over liking social media posts.
The Trump administration is targeting political dissent. This should frighten us all.

AIPAC and its allies have already spent $50 million this election cycle.
AI has spent $185 million.
Crypto has spent $288 million.
This is legalized bribery.
End Citizens United and move to the public funding of elections NOW.

As the academic whose book is cited multiple times in this article, I want to make it clear: the data center revolt is great and we need more of it. (Getting a little sick of journalists purposefully misreading my arguments)
The data center revolt is a symptom of our political failure on AI. vox.com/future-perfect/49035…

The Nakba never ended. The Israeli apartheid regime is still committing genocide in Gaza and violently erasing entire communities across Palestine and Lebanon. I'm leading a resolution to recognize the 78th anniversary of Nakba and reaffirm Palestinian refugees' right of return.

Hawai’i just passed a bill that undermine Citizens United.
The bill establishes corporations as “artificial persons” without the right to spend money on elections.
The bill could limit the influence of super PACs and be a model to challenge the influence of money in politics.

Four years ago today, Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by the Israeli military, and our government did nothing. Since then, over 260 journalists have suffered the same deadly fate. We must uplift the truth in Palestine; they were murdered for reporting.
