New instance new intro!!
I'm somcak, a #librarian currently in #Ohio. I have 2 mini #dachshunds and 2 #cats. I enjoy all sorts of music, yes, even death metal on occasion!
I've been on Mastodon since October 2022, and this is my 5th server.
I use content warnings for all sorts of stuff, just trying to be considerate! I always make sure there's #AltText and #CamelCase for my own posts as well as those I boost. #Accessibility matters.
I enjoy learning about #history and #archeology, particularly the #neolithic. I'm also interested in #UrbanPlanning and how we can make communities greener. I have an #ebike and care about #CompleteStreets.

A county judge has temporarily put on hold #Ohio's 24-hour waiting law for abortions.
After Ohioans approved a constitutional amendment guaranteeing access to #abortion in 2023, attorneys sued to block state policies that made it harder to get an abortion. The judge said the amendment's language was "clear and unambiguous" about reproductive rights protections.
The ACLU says it will push forward to make the temporary injunction permanent. #legal
The Republican answer to every problem is to lie.

The city of Columbus Ohio got hacked by a ransomware gang, they didn't pay the ransom so the gang released half of the stolen data which included secret police and prosecutor files. The leak exposed countless victims, witness and confidential informants personal info and communications with the city.
The city claimed NO info was leaked. A cyber security enthusiast went to the media and proved otherwise.
Joyce Vance quotes Greg Sargent, who says,
"Fact-checking MAGA's vile lie about cat-eating Haitians misses the point. It's an *open* assertion of the power to lie with impunity about immigrants as a prelude to 'bloody' removals of millions."
Then she adds,
"It's not just that the Haitian story is ridiculous. It's not just that it’s a lie."

#Trump, #Outrage & the Modern Era of #PoliticalViolence
The latest apparent assassination attempt against Trump indicates how much the American political landscape has been shaped by #anger stirred by him & against him.
Within days of Trump #vilifying #immigrants on national TV w/ #lies about #Haitian #immigrants eating pets in #Ohio, people began threatening to blow up #schools, #CityHall & other public bldgs, forcing #evacuations & prompting a wave of #fear.

BREAKING: In a 4-3 decision, the #Ohio Supreme Court largely upholds misleading Republican-written language for a ballot initiative to reform redistricting and end gerrymandering in the state.
