Ripley #Ohio police officer indicted in death of pursuit suspect pleads not guilty. The cop chased a car across the Ohio River into Kentucky and when the car crashed he drove away with the car on fire. The driver burned alive. The cop didn't report the car chase accident. The officer is no longer with the department.
This august if you are in Ohio you need to be registered to vote and participate in the August 7th special election, Republicans are trying to do away with most special elections and raise requirements for us voters to enact ballot measures. #politics#ohio#sync
#Ohio now pays for church schools. Kids get 'scholarships' to attend $5500-$7500. Any church can easily operate as a school, esp. grades k-8. If that wasn't bad enough, they just expanded the program.
Baptist churches, esp. independent, fundamentalists are big into here in Ohio.
Ohio House bill would legalize non-medical cultivation, purchase and possession of cannabis, allows for the expungement of conviction records for previous cultivation and possession offenses. Would create a 10% sales tax on adult cannabis products.
"In Ohio, there are no background checks required for handgun purchases, people can carry guns without concealed carry permits, guns don’t have to be securely stored away from children, and domestic abusers are allowed to keep carrying their weapons—even when facing restraining orders. But that’s not enough for the state’s Republican lawmakers, who now want to allow people to buy guns tax-free."
A former food critic who’s served as Tommy Tuberville’s top military aide has resigned over the Alabama Republican's outlandish blockade on military nominees because there isn't enough white nationalists in the military, military ousting them. .
Glad he isn't in #Cincinnati and Southern #Ohio anymore. Shame Alabama sent him to the Senate. #USPol
Police: 4 shot, including 3 children, near Grant Park in Over-the-Rhine
A 10-year-old, 14-year-old and 15-year-old were all transported to Cincinnati Children's Hospital. A man in his 20s was also injured and transported to UC Medical Center.
59 evidence markers of shell casings from bullets were seen placed at various locations in the blocked off area
If the far-right Ohio GOP's amendment passes in August, a 40% minority of voters will be able to block any amendment the majority wants. That's un-democratic and un-American.
🚨Vote NO August 8th!🚨
Let's get the vote out: by mail or at early voting. #GOTV
Abortion rights will be on the ballot soon & would pass with a simple majority, but Republicans are trying to move the goal posts & require 60% to pass the measure.
They hope abortion rights voters won't notice this special election August 8th.
My 1st full article in @SAAorg's American Antiquity went live online yesterday (oddly in the April print issue). Thanks to Dr. @BretRuby for very constructive feedback on an earlier version & 2 anonymous reviewers. cambridge.org/core/journals/… #archaeology#C14#Chronology#PublicationDay
"#Ohio#Hopewell is an archaeological concept that is known worldwide but that suffers from “a disarray of radiocarbon results”. Here, we establish a comprehensive dataset of 14C dates and apply formal chronometric hygiene criteria to all dates. ... suggest that religious practices provided shorter-term satisfaction and stability than previously recognized. #archaeology#C14#chronology
Three #Cincinnati#Ohio nursing homes close to increase profit, 200 residents displaced, as tensions rise to find them new homes
They are moving residents to other facilities they own & don't even know where they sent them. Family members are having a hard time tracking where they went, not being notified they were even moved #NursingHome#eldercare#Elderly

Texas denied abortions to these women when their lives were in danger. Now they're suing the state.
Though speaking out requires them to relive losing their wanted pregnancies, four plaintiffs told The 19th they're doing it because they know they're "not the only ones like this."
An #Indiana board decided Thursday night to reprimand an #Indianapolis doctor after finding that she violated patient privacy laws by talking publicly about providing an #abortion to a 10-year-old #rape victim from neighboring #Ohio.
