Many of us know the pain of paying steep tolls, especially when a turnpike is taken over by a private company.

Now imagine you live in one of our hemisphere’s most impoverished countries. Do that and you’ll get a glimpse into how unfair trade deals help make life unlivable in many countries — and force countless people to seek a living in countries like the United States.

When a private company suddenly put up toll booths in the middle of a taxpayer-funded highway, local residents in El Progreso, Honduras were furious.

They knew the new fees would also hike the price of food, bus fares, and their daily commutes — and that making it in their country, where roughly half of the population lives below the poverty line, was going to become unbearable.

This is the first event in a series of a Week of Rage.

As a full year of genocide approaches, the zionist regime’s ruthless aggression has only intensified. With over 300,000 martyrs in Gaza and apocalyptic scenes unfolding in Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, the occupation’s fascism continues to be laid bare before our eyes. 

It has never been more vital to show a unified front against the ongoing genocide in Palestine. We urge everyone to join us at every event to honor all our martyrs and continue the fight for liberation. As long as Palestine, Lebanon, and other countries stand steadfast in their resistance against the zionist entity, so do we. We will remain fearlessly until liberation is achieved.

Today’s Ohio Capital Journal reported that, “A former city employee received a $195,000 settlement from the city of Columbus after claiming she was illegally required to work on the 2023 reelection campaign of Mayor Andrew Ginther.”

“Ohio law prohibits the use of public resources, such as a public employee’s hours worked, on political campaigns. Columbus’ policy forbids office holders and employees from engaging in political activity forbidden by state law.”
