We have two upcoming Volunteer Work Days at the Linden Tree Nursery. We will be holding two working shifts each day for up to 50 people per 2-hour shift.

We plan to do pot filling in February and seedling planting in March.

Please register or have your group register for a time slot. You can register for one or all of them! In the case of inclement weather, we have two alternative dates listed and will notify on our events webpage and email in the case of rescheduling.

Jesus Christ. This is Israel to the fucking ‘T’. Palestine is the laboratory. Now it's home in the good ol’ fucking USofA.

A leaked video from an ICE detention site shows fifty human beings jammed into a single cell with no beds, no bathrooms, nothing. Some of them are U.S. citizens.

"They hit his face. They beat him until he can no longer stand."

"They have been here more than ten days without bathing and enduring hunger."

"Look how they have us here. Look at what kind of immigration they have us under, people who are legal, people who are not legal, people who are losing their families, they are kidnapping us."

ICE is only supposed to use cells like this for short-term processing, not to run secret long-term holding sites in the shadows.

The footage was recorded inside the ICE Baltimore Field Office at 31 Hopkins Plaza in Baltimore, Maryland.

History rarely turns on arguments. It turns on moments people cannot unsee.

A photograph. A short video. A few seconds that settle in the mind and refuse to leave. These are the moments when debate stops and something heavier takes its place. Not opinion, but
recognition.

The killing of Alex Pretti during an encounter with ICE agents appears to be one of those moments.

The images circulating do not feel chaotic. They do not feel unclear. They do not show panic, aggression, or a scene spinning out of control. What they show is restraint on one side and lethal force on the other. That imbalance is immediately visible, and it is why the images carry so much weight.

This article is about why certain moments, moments like this, cut through the noise while others fade. It is about why discipline, restraint, and dignity have always carried more power than outrage ever could.

What the Moment Demands

Street encounters are not remembered for what was said. They are remembered for how people stood, or sat, or knelt.

Just like every other major corporation that is flourishing in financial success, Ginther and this City Council will continue to ignore independent reports that the hundreds of millions of dollars handed out in tax abatements and TIF’s are counterproductive to the educational and social economic needs of Columbus school children and those who rely on social services. Two tax abatements are included on tonight’s City Council agenda.
