Labor in Ohio is under attack. The craven proponents of Ohio SB1 are situating their perverse definition of diversity, equity, and inclusion as the sugar on a poison pill for Ohio's union workers to swallow. Up next? Right to work, BS! Fight!

Unions brace for fight as Ohio GOP moves ‘Right to Work,’ strike bans
Statehouse Republicans are moving bills that gradually limit union power--a strategy critics fear is an “under-the-radar” revival of Ohio’s infamous (and repealed) 2011 overhaul of public unions.

Sweeping Ohio higher education bill moves ahead without clear definition of DEI
The bill was passed out of the Senate Higher Education Committee Wednesday without any changes despite 8 1/2 hours of opposition testimony the previous day.

Senate Bill 1 moves ahead still with no clear definition of DEI
One criticism of Senate Bill 1 is that it would eliminate all diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, work at Ohio colleges.

Welcome to Trumpland, Marco Rubio. You will wear this horror around your neck for the rest of your days. To support this requires ignorance of its consequences, but Marco knows better.

Today the community college in Ohio where I teach scrubbed all mention of social justice and DEI from our websites. Many of my colleagues and students are frightened and hurt. It's a dark time.

The media framing today as a comeback story is fucking gross. Trump is a pestilence not Seabiscuit.

Jimmy Carter told the truth and tried to address real problems. Reagan ignored the truth and claimed all was well. One is labeled ineffective and one gets airports named after him. 'Merica.

BREAKING: SCOTUS, ON 5-4 VOTE, WILL NOT STOP TRUMP'S FRIDAY SENTENCING IN NEW YORK COURT.
(ORDER LIST: 604 U.S.) THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 2025 ORDER IN PENDING CASE 24A666 TRUMP, DONALD J. V. NEW YORK, ET AL. The application for stay presented to Justice Sotomayor and by her referred to the Court is denied for, inter alia, the following reasons. First, the alleged evidentiary violations at President-Elect Trump’s state-court trial can be addressed in the ordinary course on appeal. Second, the burden that sentencing will impose on the President-Elect’s responsibilities is relatively insubstantial in light of the trial court’s stated intent to impose a sentence of “unconditional discharge” after a brief virtual hearing. Justice Thomas, Justice Alito, Justice Gorsuch, and Justice Kavanaugh would grant the application.
