Last week, 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers, including a United Nations employee went missing. They’ve since been discovered buried in a mass grave, each of them executed one by one by Israeli military forces.
In an attempt to rehash failed legislation from the 135th General Assembly, Ohio legislators – who are more focused on conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism – are attempting to pass a pair of bills that could severely limit the ability of Ohioans to criticize the actions of the Israeli government. S.B. 87, or its House version, H.B. 90, and S.B. 53 are bills that, when applied separately or in tandem, could prove devastating to free speech criticizing the state of Israel.

Piketon’s Town Hall will be a big deal for the community of Piketon, Ohio, which for 70 years has been suffering the effects of radioactive contamination from the Portsmouth Nuclear Site (PORTS), 4 miles south of the village.
The Town Hall will be hosted by reporter Duane Pohlman of WKRC TV in Cincinnati. It will be a forum to give voice to the people in the area who have suffered cancers and other illnesses in their families.
Several radioactive isotopes have been found in Department of Energy (DOE) monitors outside PORTS and in offsite samples taken for the DOE by Solutient Technologies and analyzed by Auxier & Associates. Dr. Michael Ketterer, professor emeritus of chemistry and biochemistry at Northern Arizona State University, will also speak. He has analyzed samples taken from outside PORTS and has also found radioactivity. Epidemiologist Joseph Mangano will speak online from New Jersey. He has reported that the premature death rate in Pike County is twice the national average. PORTS looms large as a suspect in these illnesses.
uesday, April 1, 7-10pm, Pierogi Mountain, 105 N. Grant Ave.

Right around the height of the COVID-19 global pandemic, I lost hope. I saw the worst of us on display during that time. I looked in horror upon the anti-vaxxing, anti-masking, privileged, blatantly racist, proudly ignorant population, and I lost hope. All of it. All my faith in humanity – right down the drain.
Before then, I didn’t realize how much I actually relied on that hope to get through life. It was only when I lost it that I missed it and realized it. I spent a few years in an emotional rock bottom. I withdrew, physically and emotionally, in disgust. I stayed in my bedroom, leaving it only to eat and to work. I cried a lot. I wept when I caught glimpses of people or performances that espoused hopefulness. (Such a performance was Melody Gardot’s music video for “From Paris With Love”. It’s made up of selfie-recorded videos from people all over the world during the pandemic. It’s worth watching. Melody Gardot - From Paris With Love (Official Music Video) (youtube.com))
Hundreds of people showed up at the Easton Tesla dealership in Columbus on March 29 for a protest against Elon Musk and his influence on the US government. Though it was promoted for Proud Boys to show up, there were only a handful of counterprotesters proclaiming love for Elon.

By a general estimate, there are 3.3 million transgender adults across the United States. Trans, non-binary, and gender-expansive youth and adults are a part of every community. We are parents and family members. We are your coworkers, your neighbors and your friends. We are a diverse community, representing all racial and ethnic backgrounds as well as all faith traditions.
While we have made significant progress in recent years, and visibility alone is not enough. Our rights, our safety, and our very lives are being threatened.
