i am now covering data center conflicts for @heatmap.news

Right Now, Thursday, 12/18, ICE is targeting neighborhoods in North Columbus between I-71 and Cleveland Ave, east of the freeway and all along Morse Rd. Schools are not letting children outside; people are not going to work. If anyone you know is at risk, please alert them! It’s happening here.

New report suggests Columbus area should pump brakes on tax breaks Columbus and its suburbs are handing out more tax breaks than ever but a new report suggests the payoff isn’t worth it.

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Vote @lauramoldham.bsky.social for Upper Arlington City Council!

THANK YOU!!!

Central Ohio folks, we have this in Jesse Vogel for Columbus city council and @lauramoldham.bsky.social for Upper Arlington city council.

Early voting is open, and (from what I’ve observed) turnout is pretty low, so it’s both quick and your vote can make a big difference.

And you get a sticker!

Can I get 4,000 of those?

Can you do the Upper Arlington democratic slate card? Thx

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

Thank you, Senator! So thrilled to receive the coveted Meowlet mention. I'll be hanging out at early vote today from 1:00 - 5:00, drenched in rain and enthusiasm. Say "hello" if you stop into vote!

Hear me out: Let’s use the wreckage of this to create a giant bumper cars community.

You can tell I’m serious by my hat.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Violet was willing to tell the Realtors in Ocean City, New Jersey that they had $2.2 million at the ready for the finest mediocre beach house that money could buy.

Fun fact: This was Fran and Mike looking at the unedited version of Liam Neeson’s genitalia.

So pleased that @hambleyforohio.bsky.social could stop by our house to share his vision for a better future for all Ohioans. Please give him your vote next year on Election Day!

We went to a @hambleyforohio.bsky.social house party last night and he was an amazing speaker! @lauramoldham.bsky.social and I are excited to host him at our house tomorrow afternoon.

THE BEST

Yes. It's one of the listed amenities on all the houses in the running.
