Columbus folks: tons of social media reports of ramped-up ICE activity in town, focusing on Northland and on the west side, up to Hilliard. The Dispatch just published this, with video of these fuckers tacking a guy on a bike and dragging him off. www.dispatch.com/story/news/l...

225 years ago, Congress first convened in Washington DC. I hope that once we finally are able to vote to release the Epstein files this week that the House can swiftly bring itself to do something meaningful to address the affordability challenges so many American families face day in and day out.

My most woke opinion is that we celebrate fighting in hockey because it’s a largely white sport and “boys will be boys” is how we talk about white men. We view fights in predominantly Black sports much differently.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I just finished reading Careless People, the memoir of Sarah Wynn-Williams about her time at Facebook. And it’s completely bananas and totally in line with how Zuck treats his neighbors in this account.
SCOOP (free, as it's FOIA-based!): I obtained 1,665 pgs of documents about "Bicken Ben," a growing private school the Zuckerbergs ran illegally out of their Palo Alto compound
Neighbors complained the school for years. Then, in 2024, they reached their breaking point:

I knew it was going to be bad, but I didn’t predict dissolving Congress. I do agree that it’s basically happened now and we’re all sleepwalking thinking we’ll go back to “normal.”
Hey so you know the White House and Mike Johnson have essentially dissolved Congress and their is only one functioning branch of the government, the executive, and it’s parallel fascist, militarized police force right?

I subscribe to the small local paper in Logan, in SE Ohio. Usually not a lot going on, some discussion of managing tourism, business news, corrupt officials. Today they published an interview with the Ohio U professor who was on the aid flotilla to Gaza. I hope it reaches fresh eyes in the area.
