It is interesting to observe how United States foreign policy, such as it is, often appears to have an Israeli back story that explains at least in part how Donald Trump’s mindless aggression against much of the world is driven by Zionist imperatives rather than actual American interests. Ukraine is supported by Israel and the US Israel Lobby in part because the roots of many diaspora and Israeli Jews are “Kazarian,” i.e. they derive from that part of Eastern Europe. Plus, Ukraine’s acting head of state Volodymyr Zelensky is a Jew whose mother and father reportedly live in Israel in a posh residence paid for by the money stolen by their son from US and European donations to Kiev to fight Russia. Also, the Jewish antipathy towards Moscow in large part derives from the belief that Imperial Russia was the source of many pogroms in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. That narrative fails, however, to mention how Russian Jews turned Bolshevik and, becoming enforcers of the Communist Revolution, subsequently got their revenge a hundred-fold on Russian and other Eastern European Christians.

The Care Economy Organizing (CEO) Project unequivocally condemns the fear, intimidation, and threats targeting child care providers and immigrant communities in Ohio. Political extremists and bad-faith actors are deliberately stoking panic and hostility, placing families, small business owners, and the workforce that protects our children at risk. This behavior is dangerous, destabilizing, and has no place in Ohio or in our democracy. 

We specifically denounce the actions and rhetoric of self-described “investigators”, who are targeting publicly funded child care centers. This misinformation and intimidation threatens the safety of Ohioans. These tactics, rooted in xenophobia and political opportunism, are designed to terrorize the community, not uncover the truth.

Look at the life of Renee Nicole Good. She was a mother who loved her children. She was a daughter who was cherished. She was a wife, a dog mom, and a vibrant soul who for 37 years occupied a space in this world that can never be filled again.

Twelve hours ago, Renee woke up in her home. Tonight, her wife goes to bed alone. Her child will never see her again. Not because of a “tragedy,” but because of an execution. This week the Trump administration sent 2,000 ICE agents to Minnesota. And because of that?

The country keeps trying to file these incidents as separate folders.

Minneapolis: ICE shoots and kills a woman in the street.

Portland: federal agents shoot two people during a vehicle stop.

Columbus: residents trade sightings in group chats and Facebook posts, because official channels won’t — or can’t — provide clarity.

But the folders all belong in the same cabinet.

Because the pattern isn’t random. It’s procedural.

And the question Columbus keeps avoiding isn’t “Is this happening here?”

It’s: “How close are we to it turning deadly?”

A 48-hour timeline of federal force — and public backlash

Wednesday, Jan. 7 — Minneapolis

A 37-year-old woman, Renée Nicole Macklin Good, is shot and killed by an ICE agent in south Minneapolis during a federal operation. Within hours, competing narratives harden: federal officials frame it as self-defense; local leaders say the video doesn’t support the story.

The killing happens less than a mile from where George Floyd was murdered — in a city that has become global shorthand for what state violence looks like when it’s caught on camera.
