Ohio Statehouse Forecast: Cloudy With a Chance of B******t

You know us, we never sugarcoat it. Things are feeling pretty grim over at the Ohio Statehouse these days. We’re here to give you the highlights of the first three months of Ohio’s 136th General Assembly, so buckle up for (mostly) bad news. In this episode of the Ohioans Against Extremism Podcast, Maria and Ainslee quickly break down three months of busy legislative activity, explain OAE’s handy dandy bill tracker, and discuss why supporting OAE’s work helps us help you fight back against extremism on Capitol Square.We know it’s hard to keep being persistent when the deck is so stacked against us. It’s demoralizing to keep losing. But even when we lose, it’s important to lose loudly. We have to keep fighting, even when the odds are against us. Why? Because, well, what choice do we have but to give it all we’ve got? Stay strong. Stick together. Fight like hell.Recorded: Saturday, March 29, 2025 at 10amHosts: Maria Bruno, Ainslee Johnson-BrownProduced, Edited, and Recorded by: Devin “Dev Draper” Palmer and Tareya PalmerResources From This Episode:* OhioBills.WTF - OAE’s Statehouse Bill Tracker * The Constitutional Corner - OAE’s New Series and Ainslee’s newest nerd baby* Ohio Budget Process Overview from the ACLU of Ohio* Ohio Budget Breakdown from Policy Matters OhioIf you appreciate our work, please consider supporting us.
