It's a dark time for women in America. An administration with a palpable disdain for the reproductive health and wellness of American families is getting it's second SCOTUS pick and the end of Roe v. Wade may be around the corner.

We aren't going down quietly.

Join us for the best comedy show and rally this state has seen yet! You're still going to get the best of the best comics from the mid-west and beyond - laughter is always the most important part of CSU4C - but this time you're also going to have the opportunity to get involved with abortion and social justice advocates from Ohio River to Lake Erie coast.

Featuring:
Bridget Denman
Brooke Cartus
Keith Bergman
Samantha Rager
Hosted by Pat Deering and Amber Falter

We advocate best when we advocate together, so this time, CSU4C is benefiting the Freedom of Choice Ohio (FOCO) Coalition, an organization that represents groups advocating for a better Ohio all across the state!

FOCO Includes:
-American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio

Rashida Tlaib has nothing about war or peace on her website. And she’s going to be elected to the seat held by Congressman John Conyers, famous for giving speeches for things like impeaching George W. Bush while telling reporters and colleagues that impeaching Bush needed to be avoided. So, take statements for what they’re worth (very little until followed by action).

Fascism is a disease, a delusion, a toxic worldview. It’s encouraged and manipulated by propaganda. Its characteristics are numerous and to various degrees widespread and long-lasting. At what point their combination in sufficiently extreme degree rises to the level of fascism, as opposed to moderately fascistic tendencies I’m happy to leave to others to decide.

Fascism is not a tendency born into subhuman monsters who threaten the purity of our anti-fascist homeland, as one might suspect when reading posters like “The only good fascist is a dead fascist” at anti-fascist rallies.

Fascism is not easily eliminated and not best eliminated by simply any random opposition to it, even opposition that much resembles it. Eliminating fascism and how best to do it is a reasonable topic of discussion which necessarily involves opposing some tactics as less effective than others. This means that it is possible to oppose an anti-fascist act without being a fascist — although not without getting called a fascist.

“He owned the gun legally and had a concealed carry permit.”

That matters?

In an otherwise neutral and informative article, this reads like a bit of legal fetishism. Another human being is dead, oh so needlessly and pointlessly, thanks to a moment of lethally armed anger in a convenience store parking lot in Clearwater, Florida last month. But the killer’s weapon was bureaucratically correct: clean as a whistle.

This is more than merely irrelevant. There’s something wrong here that our legal system is, apparently, incapable of addressing.
