Free Press is committed to documenting the people taken by ICE

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested, detained, deported, and/or imprisoned many people that it has unilaterally determined to be undesirables.  At first, they claimed they would deport only criminals, but it has already gone beyond that.  We at the Free Press consider every person who has been sent to the Tecoluca (El Salvador prison), Guantanamo naval base, or detained in other prisons throughout the country to be innocent until proven guilty. We will include students who have been expelled for protesting genocide.  It appears the government will revoke Visa's to get rid of undesirable students.  This article will be updated as long as is necessary.

Familiar tale gracefully blends feminism and fantasy

Feminism has a crucial role to play in modern life, but I sometimes wish it would leave our fairy tales alone. The results of its revisionist meddling are too often unconvincing and unsatisfying.

Remember last year’s Maleficent? It turned an age-old story on its head by revealing that the fairy (Angelina Jolie) who turned a princess into a “Sleeping Beauty” was not evil at all. No, she was merely wronged and misunderstood. Worst of all, we learned that the somnambulant princess could not be awakened by a kiss from the handsome prince, but only by a motherly peck from that same fairy.

How heartwarming. And how utterly unromantic.

Thank goodness Disney’s new live-action version of Cinderella doesn’t wear its feminism on its sleeve. It has nods to modern sensibilities, to be sure, but they’re handled with a lighter touch.

Humanity Clings to the Wreckage

“Kill them all!”

You have a problem with that? What are you, some kind of unmanly wimp? Pete Hegseth spits in your face.

Let me catch my breath, calm myself, wipe my face. The cutting edge is raw. A hundred deaths, a thousand deaths, quickly turn into “collateral damage.” But the killing of two desperate men, clinging to the wreckage of their boat in the Caribbean – their boat that has just been bombed – rips open the abstraction of military public relations. They’re just ordinary human beings – like you, like me, like our parents and our children – rather than . . . uh, narco-terrorists. And suddenly this new war the Trump administration has launched is more than just a videogame. Hey, Pete, this is not keeping us safe!

Making disparaging remarks against Somalis is nasty and unbefitting of a president

President Trump has recently called US Rep. Ilhan Omar “garbage” and immigrants like her “garbage” too. That is a vile and dangerous thing to say. Rep. Omar and Somalis in Minnesota and across the country are now being harassed and threatened thanks to President Trump and his MAGA lunatics.
 
DJT has a longstanding history of using dehumanizing language toward his political adversaries and marginalized groups, frequently referring to them as "vermin," "enemies from within," and other disparaging terms.
 
Everything that comes out of Trump's mouth is a lie or exaggeration of the truth. His double standards really need to stop, and his hatred of Somalis and brown people isn't doing the country any good.

Ohio Republicans pass bill their own voters will hate

Marijuana

Yesterday, Ohio’s Republican supermajority passed a bill to re-criminalize marijuana and completely change the law Ohioans passed in 2023.

Don’t let AEP rewrite the rules on rooftop solar – Act Now

Solar panels on rooftop

Over Thanksgiving, when you were enjoying some downtime with your family and friends, AEP pulled a fast one.

During a routine review of the administrative rules about rooftop solar, AEP filed a comment at 4:30 p.m. on the day before Thanksgiving asking the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio for new rules that would significantly raise costs for people with solar panels.

The way this would happen is through a process called net metering. Under net metering, AEP gives a customer credit when their solar panels put more electricity onto the grid than the customer is using.

Cracker Jack President

Comic

The peace prize given to Donald Trump by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) is probably as legitimate as the golf tournaments he wins on his own golf courses, which, for some reason, never have any video footage attached to them.

What better way to repair your image after a corruption scandal than to be seen hanging out with Donald Trump? Next time, involve Donald Trump in your corruption, and you won't hear the term “federal prosecutors.

With Netflix and Paramount both trying to purchase Warner Bros., I expect them not to outbid so much, but to out-bribe for Donald Trump's approval.

Man holding protest sign

Look At Me

Mobb Deep’s 2025 song with the Clipse Look At Me is the winning conversation for both DSA and the Extreme Centre:

Prodigy:

Nothing You Saying is Making Sense To Me.

I Can’t Comprehend. You Not Talking Money.

Real Nword. The Only Language I Speak.

They Gonna Die hungry.

I’m Crafty. Real Foxy.

My Reptilian Brain Will Have You Curled Up…

Remember RZA endorsed Mamdani over Eric Adams.

Eric Adams had declared Wu Tang Day in NYC November 9th.

ICE Raids

Do y’all remember No More Prisons.

No More Prisons was a grassroots movement which denounced the prison industrial complex. No More Prisons deemed prison for profit unhealthy for a society to decide imprisioning people was lucrative.
