Suggestion to Ohio State University:

To pay for owing the former basketball coach $13 million  for firing him with years remaining on his contract (and not waiting a few weeks until the season ends), sell the president’s house in Bexley. This is the most distant from campus presidential residence in the United States. Top Gun Carter can move into University Square South, near his office, across the street from the campus itself.

In so doing, OSU would follow the lead of the New School for Social Research in New York City, multiple campuses of the City University of New York, and others: all to meet university debt.

Follow the lead, Bucks.

Fourteenth largest city in the US, endlessly touted from New Albany—from which Columbus is actually governed--through Bexley to Westerville, Worthington, and Dublin, Ohio, all outside the city’s borders—to City  Council, the “mayor’s” office, and the so-called media from the non-news, non-daily USA Today/Gannett outlet to NPR’s WO-SU, Fox, and Sinclair Broadcasting: Columbus, Ohio, is now a big city.

No one can find it.

The UN Security counsil will try to pass a resolution calling for a
ceasefire (really should be called a resolution to end the genocide) but
the US is expected to veto it (thus violating its own laws again as wel as
the genocide convention)

What is happening in Palestine now? I see some 300 videos every week that
break my heart. Here are some of the less graphic ones.

Following is a statement from Lynn Tramonte, Director of the Ohio Immigrant Alliance

Cleveland Heights — Bless his heart. Somebody fire up the Facebook Live. The self-styled “Joe Arpaio of Ohio” is feeling left out of the immigrant demonization debate.

Check handed over

XENIA — It’s not every day that Greene County Prosecutor David Hayes gets to take money seized by the police from local criminal enterprises and put it towards good causes in the community. 

When he does, however, he said he wants to make sure it ends up in the right hands. 

Prosecutor Hayes was on-site at Emerge Recovery & Trade Initiative on Monday for a tour and a check presentation to the local faith-based nonprofit, which recently opened the first treatment center of its kind in the world. Emerge is located at the former Greene County Career Center, at 2960 W. Enon Road in Xenia Township. 

Of the approximately $60,000 in money seized by Greene County law enforcement in 2023, ten percent went to Emerge. Staff members were also on site to give the prosecutor a tour of the facility and the men's recovery housing area, which opened last summer and now houses dozens of men who are learning vocational skills to re-enter society in long-term recovery as productive members of the community. 

Nancy Pelosi is having peace activists charged with felonies for nonviolent activities in front of her San Francisco home, and yet not having them investigated for, much less charged with what she has publicly accused them of, namely working for both Russia and China.

Heather Phipps is being represented in court by civil rights attorney Walter Riley. She allegedly splashed washable red paint on Pelosi’s garage door last week. A few drops of the paint accidentally got on a policeman’s uniform. The Pelosis are claiming that the damage to their garage door exceeds $400, and thus Heather committed a felony. The drops of paint on the policeman’s uniform are being used to also charge her with battery. Meanwhile Cynthia Papermaster, coordinator for CODEPINK in the Bay Area, is being charged with a misdemeanor for allegedly leaving red handprints on the garage door. The washable paint was completely washed off by evening.
