"“There is no noise as powerful as the sound of marching feet of a determined people.”

Truly an incredible day.

Thank you those who marched and rallied, and thank you to those who organized these events around the country. I know how hard you’re working.

My rally in #Cincinnati was packed with thousands, and we marched from Music Hall to City Hall"

Cincinnati Ditches the Status Quo with its Zoning Reform

"The plan modernizes zoning rules, particularly near major transit corridors and neighborhood business districts, allowing up to four housing units within a half-mile of seven key transit routes and a quarter-mile of 39 business districts. It also eliminates parking requirements along these corridors and reduces them in business districts"

🚨 Warning: "Significant, multiple violent Tornado" Threats. The major cities of #Cincinnati, #Indianapolis, #StLouis, #Nashville, #Memphis & #LittleRock and their suburban and rural neighbors are all within this risk. #Weather #WX

Eastern Rural #Cincinnati #Ohio, esp counties bordering the Ohio River, expect the worse to hit around 1AM tonight. The storms are supposed to start around 7pm Wednesday through 5am Thursday for the Cincinnati area

This area is where there is a greater probability for violent tornadoes today

This is great! Listening to two of my favorite mastodon friends chatting about #Cincinnati ! Jungle Jims is an absolute wonder! If you are a foodie you probably already know about the Findlay Market, but if not, you should visit (just a few block from my studio)

In my younger days, I ran the Flying Pig Marathon 3 times...great way to experience the city!! I'm very biased, but Cinci has been really good to me as an artist. Hope you'll get to visit again soon!

Majority-Black Town in Ohio Launches Armed Watch after Neo-#Nazi, #Klan Provocations

from #WorldOutlook
February 28, 2025

On February 7, about a dozen masked men, some of them carrying AR-15 semi-automatic rifles, drove a U-Haul truck to a freeway overpass at Lincoln Heights’ edge. The men, dressed in black, shouted racist slurs and waived black flags with red swastikas on them. Enraged Lincoln Heights residents soon approached to counter protest. Local police who converged on the scene from the nearby town of #Evandale, across the highway, appeared cordial toward some of the white supremacists. As the crowd of Lincoln Heights residents swelled, the ultra rightists got back on their truck and drove off. Counter protesters burned the Nazi flags left behind.

World-Outlook · Majority-Black Town in Ohio Launches Armed Watch after Neo-Nazi, Klan ProvocationsThis article reports on efforts by residents of Lincoln Heights, a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio, to defend themselves against provocations by neo-Nazi thugs and Ku Klux Klansmen by organizing counter-mobilizations and an armed watch. Nearly 83% of the town’s approximately 3,000 residents are African American. Lincoln Heights was the first self-governing Black community to be founded north of the Mason-Dixon line, which divided the Union from the Confederate South during the U.S. civil war.
