Saving Democracy:
Can a Democracy Reverse a Slide Toward Authoritarianism?
Prices went up during a post-pandemic recovery, and American voters elected a convicted felon and fascist who incited political violence as president. Okay, that may be a bit glib. But it’s clear that Donald Trump’s election is a giant step toward authoritarianism in the USA. He and his crew have openly talked about consolidating power in the Oval Office and targeting political foes with investigations and prosecutions. Trump aims to turn much of the federal bureaucracy into a corps of loyalists who pledge fealty to him, and he has raised the possibility of deploying the military against protesters and taking action against news outlets that expose his wrongdoing. And if he implements his plan for the mass deportation of 11 million or so undocumented immigrants, that will likely require police-state-like tactics. It’s a grim moment as the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of its founding.

Miami Valley (OHIO!!!) residents voice opinions after Ohio lawmakers pass transgender bathroom bill
OHIO — Ohio lawmakers have put a bill on the governor’s desk that would ban transgender students from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity.
Governor Mike DeWine has 10 days to decide if Senate Bill 104 will become law.
If DeWine signs off on the bill, students at public schools and universities will be required to use the restroom that aligns with their sex at birth.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Ohio believes the bill will harm the rights and privacy of LGBTQ+ students and condemns its passage.
