Migration is an act of courage and love. Some people want Ohio and this country to be narrow and exclusive, denying this basic human reality. They have been trying to thrust Black Mauritanians into a national anti-immigrant conversation. But at the Ohio Immigrant Alliance, we say #OHNoYouDont.
Here are a few facts about Black Mauritanians:
Sofia Orr, 19, is an Israeli teenager who chose jail over enlisting in the Israeli Death Forces (IDF). Before turning 19, Sofia was jailed three times for refusing to enlist in mandatory military service and spending her time in Neve Tzedek, which is a military prison in Tel Aviv, in protest of the ongoing Israeli war and genocide in Gaza. She believes the two sides "have to exist" and that "revenge is not the answer." This brave Israeli teenager made it loud and clear that she would continue resisting even if the government extended her jail time because it was the right thing to do. Finally, after spending 85 days in prison, Orr was recognized as a conscientious objector.
Long before the Israeli war on Gaza and when Sofia was 15, she made up her mind not to serve in the military because, to her, the occupation and the war on Gaza and the West Bank was and is still enough reason to refuse and she would rather work advocating for peace.
Historically, younger voters tend to be more progressive, yet this year the gender divide has been splitting the youngest generation. While the general presidential race remains a statistical tie, the difference between who young men and young women are voting for is apparent. Recent NBC polling data suggests as much as a 16-point difference between the two candidates based on gender. Young men seem to be voting at a higher rate than usual, and strongly towards Trump. This analysis looks at the question, why are so many young men obsessed with Donald Trump?

I expose MAGA hypocrisy on everything from abortion, the ten commandments and the deficit to poverty, gun control and immigration.
I've heard you MAGAs. Unlike me-first Americans, you aren't driven by the desire for prosperity and personal recognition. What motivates you are your deeply held beliefs and patriotic fervor, or so you say. Well, I'm not convinced. I don't believe your convictions are as strong as you claim. I think you often say one thing, do another and act like hypocrites.
Take, for instance, those of you who are religious. You say your goal as Evangelicals is to promote biblical ideals. But your leader is Donald Trump and his conduct has been about as unbiblical as it can get. He's abused, betrayed, cheated, coerced, deceived, harassed and threatened “friends,” acquaintances, business cronies, supporters, adversaries, relatives, mistresses, and wives.
I know. You religious MAGAs don't like being called hypocrites. Here's my advice. Find a leader who keeps at least one of the Ten Commandments before you have them displayed in public school classrooms across the US.

Democrat and City of Columbus councilmember Shayla Favor is on the precipice of making history. Favor is about to become the first African American and woman to lead the Franklin County Prosecutor’s Office, and the first Black woman in the state to hold this position.
And not a moment too soon. In a recent interview with WOSU, she said she will hire more people of color. No doubt the lack of diversity in the Prosecutor’s Office, which is being vacated by Democrat Gary Tyack, is confounding. Out of 130 attorneys, only 11 are minorities.
Favor as many know is aligned with Columbus’s “establishment Dems.” Former Mayor Michael Coleman was on stage with her when she announced her candidacy.
She should win handedly against her Republican opponent, John Rutan, who is candid about his own past criminal behavior, as he served time in jail for assault when he was in college. He also told WOSU: “God gave us the death penalty to utilize for evil spirits…And so I’d use them all day long.”
