The Trump administration is escalating its attack on immigrant communities in Ohio, reinvigorating Operation Buckeye and preparing an all-out assault on Springfield’s Haitian communities. Ohioans are standing up to racist terror by disrupting business as usual and demanding no work, school, or shopping on January 30.

At 2:00pm January 29, faith leaders, community organizations, and students will hold a press conference at the Columbus Liberation Center, located at 1004 Parsons Ave, publicly announcing their endorsement of the January 30 shutdown and highlighting the urgency of responding to ICE’s escalations in Minneapolis. 

Then, the Columbus Liberation Center will host a volunteer meeting and art build at 6:00pm, where working-class Ohioans will convene to discuss the need for a shutdown, preparing signs, banners, and outreach materials for January 30.

ICE and CPB strike again, and again, while Trump-Rex substitutes himself for the UN. Pinochet returns from the dead in Chile and Bibi promises to destroy more of the West Bank to catch up to Gaza. Trump finds time to attack his base in Colorado, while transforming foreign aid from transcontinental to transactional, sacrificing humans in favor of minerals. No news here, eh!

President Trump has a long history of inflammatory rhetoric targeting Muslims. Ever since he won the presidential election in in 2016, his first Executive Order was a total Muslim ban to America, which struck the car as illegal. For the last three months, Trump has been targeting US Rep. Ilhan Omar and the entire Somali American community and using them as punching bags. Yesterday, he called Somali Americans very low. Really? Trump should be the last person to talk shit about Somali Americans. I explain why.

Trump has a four-year degree from the University of Pennsylvania. His grades and transcripts are secret. Reason is, he graduated with half-ass grades from college.

Michael Cohen, once Trump's personal attorney, gave a testimony to Congress where he revealed that, under the direction of President Trump, he had sent letters to Trump’s high schools, colleges, and the College Board (creator of the SAT), threatening them with legal action and jail time if they ever released Trump’s academic records. Ever wonder why? If he got straight As, he does not keep it secret. Think about it for a minute. All what he is doing is trying to save face and avoid being ridiculed.
