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.

With a heavy heart, the Ohio Student Association mourns for our universities. In the late afternoon of Friday, March 28, Governor Mike DeWine killed higher education in the state of Ohio by signing the universally detested Senate Bill 1–a bill that students and faculty alike have been fighting since its introduction as SB 83 in 2023.
This is a heartbreaking and devastating blow to the students and educators of Ohio. Our fight against SB 1’s passage concluded behind closed doors as our governor chose to cower to the pressure of partisan extremists. DeWine has sacrificed the future of Ohio’s higher education in exchange for culture war political points in the twilight hours of his final term.
Saturdays, 4:30 – 5:30pm EDT

Atomic Energy’s death spiral has spawned a run to green power.
But the toxic mineral lithium has become a critical pitfall…with clear ways around it that demand attention.
Humankind’s 400+ licensed large commercial reactors embody history’s most expensive technological failure.
Once hyped as “too cheap to meter,” just three “Peaceful Atom” plants have opened in the US since 1996, all of them very late and hugely over budget. Four at Japan’s Fukushima blew up in 2011, with ever-escalating economic, ecological and biological costs. Two in South Carolina are outright $9 billion failures. Projects in Georgia (US), Finland, France and the UK have come with catastrophic delays, overruns and cancellations. So have much-hyped Small Modular Reactors, and the taxpayer-funded idea of restarting nukes already dead.
And in the post DeepSeek era, gargantuan projected power demands for Artificial Intelligence and crypto are coming back to Earth.
As Israel expands conflicts in the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, Yemen, and Syria, and resumes the genocide in Gaza, in part due to the Trump administration’s expressed desire to ethnically cleanse Gaza, questions remain about the status of Franklin County government investments in Israeli bonds.
There was a time, not too long ago, when Ohio State University (OSU) was truly a “State” school. If a young person from Ohio could get their high school diploma with a C+ average, had the financial means through help or loans, and the will to balance school and fun, they would have a good chance to earn a degree from Thee, and do so at the main campus.
The days of OSU students scraping by together in aging but cozy off-campus homes or rowhouses – drinking beer from $10 shared buckets at Mustards or Papa Johns to make sure everyone could pay rent, for instance – is slowly becoming a distant memory.
A halcyon era heartlessly tossed into the dustbin by (rich white) elitists. The good struggle for Ohioans of modest means dashed. Just ask any of the thousands of young people who were recently rejected by OSU. Some were made to choose Miami University as their second choice ironically, which used to be the first choice of many Ohioans. History reveals it was Gordon Gee who eliminated open enrollment for in-state students, and since then, OSU’s average GPA went from 2.5 to 3.6 while tuition has doubled.
