Members of the Ohio House voted 65-28 to override Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto on Ohio House Bill (HB) 68 Wednesday evening – taking one step closer to banning healthcare for transgender people under the age of 18 and preventing transgender girls from competing in sports from kindergarten through college.

DeWine announced the veto during a press conference last week, where he instead proposed a set of new administrative rules restricting access to healthcare for all transgender Ohioans.

Thousands of miles separate Uganda and Congo from the Gaza Strip, but these places are connected to Palestine in ways that traditional geopolitical analyses would fail to explain.

The 1960s has never lost its hold on America, nor has the argument about when the decade actually started. It has primarily been defined by five very tumultuous years–1963 through 1968–because of a number of events–among them, the March on Washington; five political assassinations; the war on poverty, the passage of the Civil Right Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965; America’s formal entry into the Vietnam War under Operation Rolling Thunder; and the long, hot summers during which a number of northern cities were roiled by race riots. McElvaine makes a strong case for compressing the decade into those five years.
