A group of neo-Nazis went to Cincinnati Ohio this week to wave Nazi flags off of highway overpasses.
Only problem is they did this in a Black neighborhood that's had enough of their hateful bullshit.
Police were unwilling or unable to keep the crowd of pissed off Black Americans from running off the Nazis.

#Ohio is making a run for the bottom with a bill to make Ivermectin, the horse dewormer, "within 10 years, it’ll be just like any other over-the-counter medicine you can get, and it’s that way in some states." Yes, some state senators want Ivermectin to be OTC because 1 state senator was denied access to treat his cancer.

The One That Got Away: This Small Town Is Left in Limbo After Betting Big on GMO Salmon
—
AquaBounty GMO salmon was going to be the future of fish — and the future for one Ohio village that offered incentives to make a new facility happen. But years after breaking ground, there are no fancy fish tanks. No designer fish. No new jobs.

As elections draw near, #Trump dispatches his #brownshirts:
"'They had agents all across the state going to civil rights leaders and community leaders’ doors intimidating them, coming and demanding that they talk about literally anything they would ask,' Haney said, adding that agents 'asked them if they’re committing voter fraud, just on their doors, in front of their houses with their children, and just following them to work and school.' ... 'Just straight-up intimidation tactics,' he said.”

If you're wondering what's going on in Central Ohio, we're flooding. Haven't seen this on the news, so thought I'd share. This is Interstate 70 at Buckeye Lake exit, nowhere near the actual lake, this is the river rising over the Interstate. It's about 15 miles east of where I live.
“This is beyond my dreams,” children's hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman told ProPublica in a call minutes after he was freed from an Ohio jail where he’d been detained since the spring. “I’m still overwhelmed by the surprise.”
