Trek Manifest is recording an entire album at Natalie’s with a live band October 11th.
Do I understand this correct?
Yep it’s a live album recording indeed! I’ve been doing these shows with the band so it only made sense and it’s honestly way overdue.
i’m gonna ask you about some live Hip Hop band’s songs for a fun history discussion. I don’t expect you to know these songs. I don’t expect a book report on each song, I just want reactions. Look them up from tidal, Spotify, apple music or YouTube. It’s kinda like an Beavis And Butthead informal live band hip hop discussion.
Just give me reactions:
KING Tim III and the Fatback Band - Personality Jock
Ok! This is some disco type vibes but a little rap feel to it!
Stetsasonic - Go Stetsa
Legendary right here! Heard a few producers sample these guys!
The Goats - Do The Dugs Dig
Ok never heard of these guys but you can never go wrong with this break beat!
This isn’t a live band b, it’s a live rap album. BDP My Philosophy live hardcore worldwide
Legend. God MC enough said with this one!
Armed federal agents violently attacked and assaulted the owner and some workers of Panchos Tacos restaurant in downtown Mount Vernon, Ohio on Thursday, October 9, 2025. The attackers were not ICE, but rather Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). They appear to be related, and their tactics were similar, as they violently assaulted and kidnapped brown-skinned people trying to come to work. When the owner drove up to his restaurant with one of his workers Thursday morning they were approached by HSI with guns drawn and were assaulted and detained.
The owner is a US citizen who was born in the country. Several workers fled the scene. Some were caught and taken away. Their conditions and whereabouts are unknown to the general community. Reports are that the location is known to some, but not being released because families of those kidnapped are fearful that if protesters turn up at the detention location, it might cause violence and harm to their loved ones being detained there.
What do Ohio State University (OSU) and Israel have in common? They both desperately try to conceal the truth about the Israeli genocide in Gaza and the daily Israeli war crimes committed against Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and the besieged Gaza Strip.
OSU targets pro-Palestinian activists for exposing the university of complicity in the Gaza genocide by arresting them, charging them with criminal trespassing, and threatening them with police escort from study-in for having "Keffiyeh," and the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) targeted Palestinian journalists in Gaza for informing the world about the reality in Gaza where Israel has not allowed international journalists.

The Nobel Committee has frequently given the peace prize to major war makers, and frequently to do-gooders whose work in a variety of fields has been unrelated to abolishing war. It has also often given the prize to opponents and victims of Western empire. But it has never given the prize to open advocates of war and fascistic government. Trump was never going to be given the prize directly.

A Central Ohio Chapter of Veterans For Peace (VFP) has been operating in the Columbus and surrounding areas for over a year. We have 15 core members, all of whom are experienced activists.
It is Chapter 183. Up until it was formed, Columbus was one of the largest cities in the United States that was not represented by a local chapter. Ohio was the most populous state without a chapter. There are over one hundred chapters throughout the U.S. and several international chapters. The national organization has had activists on the flotillas that have tried to break the Gaza blockade. VFP members have been arrested numerous times at demonstrations for standing up for freedom, veteran's rights, and the civil and humanitarian rights of people throughout the world while promoting peace and opposing unnecessary militarism, intervention, and war.

A relatively new union at a Columbus east side cannabis dispensary remains on strike as they demand their corporate owner come back to the negotiating table to ink out a new contract. Herbal Wellness Center United or HWC United went on strike at the end of September, forcing their corporate bosses to shorten hours of operation and bring in scabs.
Out of Ohio’s 159 cannabis dispensaries only a handful have unionized, and this is the first time Ohio dispensary workers have gone on strike. Most dispensary workers, or “budtenders,” make between $14 to $20-an-hour.
HWC United organized with the help of local Teamsters 413 in 2023 not long before full legalization in Ohio was passed by a citizen-led amendment. Their busy medical dispensary was going to have far more customers and make a lot more money. That was predictable, and then they began hearing rumors their owner was looking to sell to a much larger corporation.

Jacob's Porch, 45 E 13th Ave, Columbus, OH 43201
Join Central Ohio Revolutionary Socialists, @fsjp_osu, and @workersvoice.ohio, for a presentation and discussion examining the reasons for the United States unequivocal support for Israel and the ongoing genocide.
In order to effectively fight for Palestine, we must understand what we are fighting against. We will discuss the role of U.S. Imperialism, the nature of zionism, and the history of this “special relationship.”
We welcome all to come discuss these burning questions for our movement. Feel free to invite others and share the event.
The meeting will take place at Jacob’s Porch (near OSU campus in Columbus) and there will be an online option available at cbus.work/meeting
