I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

Imagine if HEALTHCARE WAS FREE in America, as it is in Greenland. Just imagine. 🇺🇸🇬🇱

Russia killed Alexei Navalny with frog toxin, UK and allies say Former opposition leader’s death while in Arctic jail at age of 47 result of mixture of diseases, according to Moscow

NATO allies are able now to definitively call the means used by Putin to murder his principal political opponent. Former opposition leader’s death while in Arctic jail at age of 47 was he result of mixture of diseases, according to Moscow; allies say bullshit. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Pamela Jo Bondi has seen photos and videos of pedophilia so disturbing that she knew she could never make them public if she wanted to protect the perpetrators. And that was the choice she coldly made.

Bannon, Brexit, Johnson and Cambridge Analytica: the Daughter of Time Peter Jukes reports on more revelations about the transatlantic right-wing network, and why the Government is withholding key information on the former Prime Minister’s role

Most Americans have no idea of the extent to which Trump and his entourage have conspired with foreign fringe groups, largely ones financed by the Kremlin, to destabilize and topple US NATO allies, including Conservative governments. The Epstein files are filled with evidence of this.

Pam Bondi saw everything in the Epstein files and chose to do absolutely nothing. A total failure of humanity.

Just sitting here with the idea that the president of these United States just said out loud that “nobody” understands Spanish. What are we even doing.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Nazar Daletskyi shared a few details about him being in Russian captivity.

He was abused a lot and letters from family were not delivered to most Ukrainian POWs.

Another group of children and teenagers aged from three months to 17 years was returned from the Russian occupied part of Kherson to Ukrainian controlled territory. Among them are a 17 year old girl and her 9 year old brother who witnessed the torture of their mother after the invasion. #Ukraine

I’m not reposting Trump’s latest obscene racism, because it’s widely posted. If you don’t know what it is, look. It’s not news in terms of telling us who he is—if you didn’t know this by now, you’re not going to—but the blunt openness of it is a rhetorically violent escalation, & that is news.

Blackwell Inn to maintain name during immediate future Roger D. Blackwell was sentenced to six years in prison and fined $1 million Dec. 15. Despite this, an upscale campus hotel and restaurant will retain the name of the former business professor for the...

I think Roger Blackwell went to prison until 2012 … but the OSU property named for his donation *still* bears his name?

Looks like we’ll all have to discuss what was meant by “gang stuff”

Morning, DJ. FYI, front page of NYT (for me), right below Olympics coverage, is the face of a certain smiling New Albany familiar name.

OSU, remove his name from EVERYTHING!

"‘Reminds me of Anne Frank’: Jewish seniors are offering to hide their Haitian caregivers as Trump’s TPS end looms"

With the immigration crackdown, America risks violating its treaty obligations • Ohio Capital Journal In 1968, the U.S. ratified the Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, prohibiting the returning of refugees to persecution or torture. That promise is not symbolic; it is codified in U.S. law. T...

Adding another excellent article on how ending TPS status is international treaty violation as well as violation of federal law. Standing in solidarity with my nearby Ohio neighbors in Springfield, as Haitian TPS status is expiring illegally ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/01/28/r...

Extending TPS for Haiti isn't just the moral, humanitarian thing to do—it is also good policy.

With TPS expiring tomorrow, I'm fighting hard to protect our Haitian siblings and ensure they can continue their essential work and contributions to our communities.

'Reminds me of Anne Frank': Jewish seniors are offering to hide their Haitian caregivers as Trump's TPS end looms - Jewish Telegraphic Agency The end of Temporary Protected Status has Holocaust survivors offering to hide Haitian staffers, according to the CEO of a senior-living center in Florida.

"About 500 seniors live at Sinai Residences in Boca Raton, Florida, including many Holocaust survivors. Recently, some of them asked if they could hide the building’s Haitian staff in their apartments."

Someone should sue.

🚨 Ohio 🚨 in May 2025, DHS requested and received 20,000 records (including photos) from of Ohio BMV

There are roughly 19,000 migrants in Ohio with TPS.

Springfield, Ohio is home to 12,000 - 15,000 of the TPS population in Ohio.

@msnowreports.bsky.social confirmed the surge on the 30th.

David Brooks could get fired into the sun and somehow land a column at Sun Magazine and a fellowship at the Solar Institute

My grandma was a lifeguard at Glengarry Pool on Cleveland Ave (current location S of 270 across from Carsonie’s).

Despite being just north of Linden, the family pool owners refused to sell memberships to Black families in the 50s.

Unlike in Alabama, no Whites Only sign posted. Everyone knew 😔

As does Westerville library, UA library has some people dedicated to telling the truth about our suburbs’ shameful history of racism. Interview w Deneen Day on their site describes restrictive covenant in the mid 70s. These were made illegal/unenforceable in 1968 but ….

I mean, in the 50s they even dug up and moved an entire 19thc. African American cemetery

Better check me, as my memory of it is clouded. UA history has details about redlining put in place in 1926 “until 1999.”

Annehurst in Westerville had racial exclusions too, no holier than thou from me. Shame on central Ohio legalized racism. Hope you do explore it!

When I was in high school in the 1980s (in Westerville) UA had a cross burning on the lawn of an African American family. Very tightly segregated.

The Senate is supposed to vote on DHS funding next week. There shouldn’t be a single Democratic vote for it.

Defund the whole thing.
