Woman with sign saying Break the ICE

Approximately 50 people representing various organizations, including Veterans for Peace, Students for Justice in Palestine, and The Communist Party of the United States,  protested against ICE, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in downtown Columbus, Ohio last Tuesday, June 17, 2025.  The protest repeats each Tuesday from 4:30-6PM.

Protestors walked with signs and chanted “Stop ICE” at specific intersections near parking garages where workers were leaving their jobs at 5:00 PM.  Protesters loudly voiced phrases such as “Say it Loud. Say it Clear.  Immigrants are Welcome Here,” and “No ICE. NO KKK.  No Fascist USA.”

Sinkane Interviewed

Sinkane

Ahmed Gallab’s Parliament meets Radiohead band Sinkane exists as exemplification of the  potential of a Columbus artist. Sinkane’s latest release City Slang We Belong is a scorcher which anyone that likes Parliament, Prince, and LCD Soundsystem would find pleasing.

Ahmed attended OSU.  Ahmed played at Cafe Bourbon Street, and the Legion of Doom. Sinkane has performed on Democracy Now and several other TV shows.

Which is the selling point for We Belong? Beastie Boys or Okay Afrika? Sinkane’s We Belong is co-produced by the Beastie Boy’s sampling into live instrumentation guru Money-Mark.

Sinkane’s We Belong features a crooning from Bilal. Features don’t overshadow Sinkane but Soulquarians’ Bilal does indicate Sinkane’s musical altitude. Bilal singing does signify Okay Africa press is an underrated music accolade.

Sinkane lives in New York City where he has shared stages with both Pharaoh Sanders, and Femi Kuti. Sinkane makes world music that people who love Bad Brains would appreciate.

Deadly Emerald Triangle Feud In Leaked Confidential Call

BANGKOK, Thailand -- A deadly Emerald Triangle border feud between Thailand and Cambodia has worsened to include economic boycotts, frontier closures, disputed claims over Hindu temples north of Angkor Wat, and an embarrassing, trust-breaking leaked phone call between the two nations' leaders about Thailand's military.

Also at stake is Thailand's political stability and survival of its fragile, rival-packed coalition government which is denying perceptions of being obsequious and soft on Cambodia while the Royal Thai Army favors a strong response.

Claiming to defend their side of the frontier, Thai armed forces shot dead one Cambodian soldier on May 28 in jungle and scrubland known as the Emerald Triangle where eastern Thailand, northern Cambodia, and southern Laos meet.

The Thai-Cambodian border includes a no man's zone that is not officially demarcated, attracting human and wildlife traffickers, illegal loggers, smugglers, fugitives, and other criminals.

US Rep. Max Miller: Another genocidal anti-Palestinian playing the wild victim card

Ohio Republican Congressman Max Miller called the local police this week in his Ohio 7th congressional district in northeastern Ohio to report a "road rage incident." Rep. Miller said he was forced off the road by a "deranged" pro-Palestinian protester. A man who issued a death threat against him and showed him a Palestinian flag. Again, no name, no picture, no license plate, and no witness. Just another day in MAGALAND.
 
I am not buying this story at all. I've never heard of a driver chase another driver down waving a flag. And how would anyone know if the driver of the car is Jewish to begin with? We all know that Rep. Miller is on the record saying he hoped Gaza was turned into a parking lot, which is certainly far more threatening to many more people. 
 
U.S. Rep. Max Miller even accused his wife last October of stalling their divorce case (Cleveland.com) while her dad Bernie Moreno was running for US Senate seat. Subsequently, his wife Emily Moreno Miller bought a house in Westlake on July 1 without telling Max Miller; that she took their baby, two dogs. and her belongings from their marital residence on Aug.

Bombing Iran Is Part of the USA’s Repetition Compulsion for War War War

Twenty years ago, one day in June 2005, I talked with an Iranian man who was selling underwear at the Tehran Grand Bazaar. People all over the world want peace, he said, but governments won’t let them have it.

The cruelest budget bill I've ever seen

Question mark over Statehouse

This article first appeared on Rachel Coyle's Substack.

A budget is a moral document. It shows us your priorities.

For example, Ohio’s budget can fund programs that support children and families — or it can fund tax cuts for billionaires. It just depends on who our state considers important.

Right now, Ohio’s priorities should sicken us all.
