OSU professor's takedown of cameraman was predictable. Look at Chase Center | Letters Letters: What free speech and open inquiry? Agitator in chief. Nothing ever happens.

The assault at OSU underscores the contentious role of OSU's Chase Center, an "intellectual diversity" center forced onto OSU by Ohio lawmakers. The Chase Center has been widely criticized for its limited accountability in hiring & curriculum & lack of responsibilities to the university.

These people are insanely cruel.

Black graphic with a quote attributed to Juana Rodriguez, ACLU client challenging an unlawful immigration raid in Wilder, Idaho: "My toddler was forced to witness an incredible amount of violence against people he loves and hear racial slurs about Latinos, experiences that no child should ever be exposed to. I'll never forget hearing his little voice pleading with me to give him food and water for hours on end."

As a proud U.S. citizen, Juana never thought she'd be zip-tied and detained by ICE for hours with her 3-year-old son, especially while attending a family-friendly event.

They’re two of hundreds of people we’re defending in court for being targeted in an unlawful militarized immigration raid.

Hundreds of Ohioans show support for Haitians, federal judge blocks TPS ending for Haitians • Ohio Capital Journal Hundreds of Ohioans gathered at a church in Springfield on Monday to show support for the Haitian community in Springfield.

BREAKING: A U.S. District Court judge blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to end protected status for about 330,000 Haitians living in the United States with Temporary Protected Status.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

This morning, ICE shot and killed yet another person in my home state of Minnesota.

The violence committed by Donald Trump’s armed, untrained federal agents must end.

Get ICE out of Minnesota NOW.

Plato is one of the most famous ancient philosophers of all time. He also thought there were more than 2 genders & homosexuality was normal — that's why Texas A&M wants to censor him.

"How can a serious research university, an R1 university, censor Plato in a philosophy class?"

— Martin Peterson

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.

Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.

I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.

I need to share with you what I saw.

US science after a year of Trump: what has been lost and what remains A series of graphics reveals how the Trump administration has sought historic cuts to science and the research workforce.

A year after Trump, US science is a shadow of itself. To understand the devastation and vandalism, check out this new set of visualizations of the cuts for a bird's-eye view of the utter destruction. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Mubashir and his family came to the United States as refugees from Ethiopia when he was a child, and they all became naturalized citizens in 2019.

Despite being a U.S. citizen, Mubashir was targeted by ICE, assaulted, and detained. Listen to his story:

Dems have to shut the government down until ICE and CBP are totally defunded.

This is the basement of what we need right now. An easy lift, supported by the vast majority of Americans.

Shut it down. Defund, abolish, and take DHS with it.

Donald Trump is trying to con Americans into believing that immigrants are the greatest threat to our democracy in order to hide the the fact that Donald Trump and his corruption is the greatest threat to our democracy.

It seems as though ICE has been instructed to escalate the violence to justify more violence, and to create propaganda to make us forget we outnumber them 10,000 to 1.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.

I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

Home - Adam Miller for US Congress (Ohio-15) Adam Miller is running for US Congress in Ohio, including Dayton, Springfield, Dublin, Hilliard, London, Xenia, Piqua, Troy, and Sidney Ohio.

It’s official. Our campaign for Ohio’s 15th Congressional District is live.
To the supporters who have been with us since day one: thank you. Now, it’s time to grow the team. From the Army to the Statehouse, my focus has always been on integrity and results. My leadership in Congress is critical.

At least 24 Venezuelan security officers killed in Maduro capture, bringing total death count to at least 56, officials say - The Boston Globe Venezuela’s attorney general said that “dozens” of officials and civilians were killed and that prosecutors would investigate the deaths in what he described as “war crime.”

The U.S. government killed a total of 56 Venezuelans and haven’t uttered a peep about that. That news is feeling even worse on the anniversary of J6, a day when they are also ignoring the harm Trump caused that damned day.

Violence thrives in silence.

First We Grieve Then we must act.

After tragedies like those this weekend, particularly when the horror of gun violence hits so close to home:

First, we grieve. Then, turn to facts. Then, with understanding rather than anger or fear, we must act - with community and heart at the center. 💜

I’m a scholar of gun violence. Not even I can process what happened at Brown. - The Boston Globe My typical response to school shootings is to call for policy changes. But I’m afraid the task ahead is bigger than that.

"Trauma is a shape-shifter." Two necessary pieces on feeling, managing, writing about the impossible and impossibly regular gun violence. Fr Brown anthropologist of gun violence @ievajusionyte.bsky.social about culture, not just policy. But policy too. 1/ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/17/o...

Only in America are young people forced to endure multiple school shootings. This level of violence should be unfathomable, but for students like Mia, it’s a nightmarish reality.
