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.

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.

Details about event

ICE out of Columbus!

On December 19th, school let out early in Columbus, and children did what children always do. Kids walked home and waited in pickup lines expecting to go home with family for winter break and all the coming festivities of the holidays.

They slung backpacks over one shoulder. They checked their phones. They waited in pickup lines and walked familiar routes home, thinking about winter break, holidays, sleeping in, the small relief that comes with the end of exams. Some were already arguing with siblings over who would sit in the front seat. Some were texting parents they could see just down the road.

A car door opening is usually nothing. That day, it was everything.

Almost two years ago, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik made a fool of herself while questioning the presidents of three Ivy League universities, MIT, Harvard University and University of Pennsylvania. She demanded a yes or no answer, in an immature and juvenile way, while trying to paint these institutions and their presidents as supporters of antisemitism for “allowing” the constitutionally protected speech by students supporting the Palestinian plight and condemning the genocide happening in realtime in Gaza.

Stefanik, a Trump loyalist, a MAGA warrior, a supporter of overturning 2020 presidential elections, a promoter of “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory, and whose top contributor is AIPAC, all of the above was not enough. Still, President Trump dumped her.

Keep immigrants safe

ICE has got to go. That is the message Columbus residents have been sending since a couple hundred agents descended on the city and began to hunt people on the streets. They immediately began mobilizing neighborhood watches and alert systems, keeping agents awake all night at their hotels, and setting up food delivery chains.
