Hard-core progressive critic of Acton here and let me say; Ramaswamy and Ohio GOP, you fu#ked up. You didn't convice anyone that Acton lied about her abuse but you did a great job of showing the entire state how little you care for victims of childhood trauma and sexual abuse.

A dark money group based in Louisiana is spending thousands of dollars in Ohio to re-elect my opponent.
They promise that Rep. Balderson is "fighting the rise of socialist policies" (while he votes to cut Medicaid, defund rural hospitals, build more data centers, deny medical care to vets, and send more Ohioans to war).
There are 435 U.S. House members. Almost all of them are bought by AIPAC and the same corporate interests that own Troy Balderson. Socialism is not a threat in Congress. The only policies he's fighting against are policies that help people like you.

This woman lost custody of her child at age 12 due to abuse and the GOP thinks its a win to trot her out and attack her daughter who is running for governor.
This is sick stuff.
I am happy to support @DonCKissick who would never stoop so low for votes.
A disgusting ploy by the GOP who once again stand with those who abuse children.
BOMBSHELL: Amy Acton’s own MOTHER just dropped a devastating ad warning Ohio NOT to elect her daughter.
She calls Amy a habitual liar who “needs help” and is totally unfit for governor.
When your own mother begs voters to stay away, it’s OVER.
Must watch! 👇
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Acton’s stepfather abused her from age 9 to 12 and was criminally charged, and the family lived in a tent in winter. Her brother confirms they were removed from their mother’s custody. Acton’s stayed married to the stepfather until he died.

Yeah, you could go with the opinion of Mr. Brain Worm, who bragged about snorting coke off a toilet seat or the trained medical experts.
No dodging. No vague statements. HHS is demanding medical organizations explain where they stand on sex-rejecting procedures for minors and the evidence behind their guidance.
This action is the latest step in the Trump Administration’s effort to protect children from harmful sex-rejecting procedures and bring transparency and accountability to so-called “gender medicine” in pediatric care.
“And right now, if you’re a left-wing transgender witch, you hate Donald Trump, and you’re going to show up. You’re energized.”
That's completely unfair ... Us left-wing transgender atheists hate him too. ;)
With as many as 10 Senate races tied or within the margin of error by his own account, Cruz reached for a familiar Republican target: Americans who are trans. advocate.com/politics/electi…
Let's talk about fairness. Ohio’s election laws protect the major parties, but I won't defend a broken system. If 50 signatures gets me on the ballot, it should be enough for anyone willing to serve. Stop letting insiders gatekeep the booth.

Most parents just want kids safe and happy. Wild stories about school "indoctrination" are lies, but the hate and cruel legislation passed because of them are 100% real.
They push fear because they have nothing to offer you. I'm running to protect all our neighbors.
FFS, could you just try to appeal the the actual people who are going up vote for you?

Compassion isn’t conditional. Justice isn’t a political calculus.
We cannot claim to stand for 'all' if we reduce vulnerable children to a talking point for a headline. No hesitation, no apology: trans girls are girls.

With Ohio legislators home campaigning in their districts, one Republican quietly introduced a bill to prevent an LGBTQ+ youth from being raised by a non-parent supportive adult – like a grandparent – even if the youth has been rejected by their parents

I worked for Rep. Marcy Kaptur. Now I am watching her attack my queer community for political points.
‘As a 27-year-old working journalist who challenges oppression and interrogates transphobia daily, I am embarrassed at Rep. Kaptur’s name on my resume.’

Today, I resigned as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus. The state party expects us to be a sales team, censoring our voices when we beg candidates not to trade on trans lives. I am still a Democrat, but I will not place party approval over true, defiant advocacy.
Text below.
It isn't a "Big Tent" if it has room for anti-trans Democrats to punch down, but no room for us to criticize them. When candidates can attack our rights publicly but the community is told to stay quiet for "unity," the tent has simply dragged to the right.

Beyond labels and politics, it's about human connection. I shared my journey from fear to freedom on the latest episode of "Demystifying the Transgender Journey" with Lynn Murphy and Wendy Cole. Let's turn conversations into understanding.

Have you noticed all the MAGA rats trying to jump ship before the midterms?
Except Marsha Blackburn and she’s in so deep she would get it all over her if she moves an inch.
FYI: Trans people didn't raise you gas or grocery prices. Trans people didn't put a data center in your backyard & make you pay for the water and electric. These insincere bigots want to give you someone to hate because they sure as hell don't have anything else to offer.

for fuck's sake, man.
there just simply aren't ticket-splitting voters worth pandering to fascism for, no matter the stakes of keeping your seat, @RepMarcyKaptur
who else is this for, after all? it sure as fuck isn't the base voters you also need to turn out if you wanna win...
#OH09: Incumbent Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D) is up on TV with this response spot --
Kaptur to camera:
"We're stuck in another unnecessary war and inflation is making everything worse. But, my opponent won't talk about all that. He'd rather lie about my record"
"Well, here's the truth. I voted with Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of our schools"
