86 the Hate
Weekly Brew June 15, 2026
Howdy, caffeinated resisters!
It’s getting a bit nasty out, and I am talking about the humidity and the hate (more on that later).
I thought I’d try something new at the suggestion of Karen by starting off with your weekly calendar! The full details will, as always, be listed in the meat of the letter, but in case you’re wanting to quickly see what’s up this week, here ya go.
Other sources include:
Though a few events got called for weather last week, we were still in these streets. Thursday morning on Montgomery...
Saturday at Tesla...
And Friday morning, we were on two bridges on Deerfield...
And then there was Wyoming...
See that little banner that says “8647”? Four little numbers, tons of pushback.
I’d like to say for the record that we at Coffee. Compassion. Action! do not condone violence and would never call for anyone’s death or execution. “86” is a restaurant slang term meaning “remove.” But propaganda has turned it into a tool for MAGA outrage.
Be careful out there, fam. The crazies are out. And if you’re interested in beefing up our numbers for safety on the bridges, there’s never been a better time to come out and give us your support.
MONDAY JUNE 15
Don’t forget the Hoffner Park team is out on Mondays at 4pm! Check out their snazzy new flyer.
There is also a rally and press conference a the PUCO utility conference in Columbus tomorrow. I don’t have a graphic, but the festivities are starting at noon in front of the Hilton Downtown Columbus, where the Energy Magnates are gathering to discuss raising our utility bills. Christy is going, if anyone would like to join.
TUESDAY JUNE 16
Bold New Democracy is hosting a postcard party at Wiedemann’s Fine Beer Tuesday night.
If you’re in the Maineville area, there’s a fundraiser for Amy Acton Tuesday night - RSVP on the link for the address.
WEDNESDAY JUNE 17

There’s two Red Wine and Blue events in town Wednesday, the first is the Unhappy Hour at Third Eye Brewing in Hamilton, 5pm
And at Esoteric Brewing, there’s another Red Wine and Blue meetup at 6pm focused on Post D0bbs Decision Effects on Reproductive Justice
Or if you’re free during the day, there’s a 12:30 Sherrod Brown meet n greet fundraiser - RSVP for the address.
THURSDAY JUNE 18
Thursday is a two bridge day this week! First, on Montgomery...
And Monmouth!
FRIDAY JUNE 19
Friday is JUNETEENTH - so in celebration, we’ll be on our regular bridges in the morning...
...but then we’ve got crews of us spending all day on the Lincoln Heights Bridge with our huge new LEAVING MAGA banner - come on out and celebrate with us!
Clermont Co Brewing Change Coffee Klatch will be as it always is, Friday at 4pm. They’ll have Data Center petitions, so if you haven’t signed - get on out there!
Juneteenth Celebrations are also occurring in Hamilton - the Butler Co Dems are looking for volunteers.
SATURDAY JUNE 20
Saturday is TESLA TIME! They meet every Saturday at 11am at Jack in the Box, rain or shine.
Lots of canvassing this Saturday, starting with the Butler County Central Region at 10am - RSVP for address.
Then at noon Butler County Dems will be in Fairfield canvassing.
You can also come sing in Fountain Square on Saturday.
But before that, swing by Piatt Park with whatever food or clothes/toiletries you can rustle up for the foodserve at 1pm
Popular Ohio candidate Jonathan Bradner is having a cookout/Pay-what-you-can fundraiser at 4pm Saturday.
And end the night with the cool kids of Working Families Party!

MUST WATCH OF THE WEEK
You may have missed in all the commotion of Straits and Ballrooms and Slush funds and such, but Scott Pelley, long time anchor at 60 Minutes was recently fired for questioning his new bosses and their machinations at CBS since Trump took power.
Here he sits down with the NY Times’ Lulu Garcia-Navarro and gives a soup to nuts rundown of his exit - and what’s next for 60 Minutes now that the old guard is gone.
