You may not have noticed this. The world “celebrated” International Human Rights Day the other day, even as wars across the planet continued, bombs fell, children died. What if “freedom from war” were a human right?

I don’t ask this to be cynical, but rather to expand the reach of what should be a global day of connection and collective inner reflection. International Human Rights Day is Dec. 10. It’s an annual honoring of the day in 1948 when the newly formed United Nations, in the wake of World War II, adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which publicly recognizes “the inherent dignity and . . . equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family.”

From left to right, protest signs read: "From the river to the sea Palestine will be free", "End the occupation", "End apartheid."

A diverse coalition of Ohioans from across the state, including a caravan from Cleveland, is headed to Columbus today to testify against Senate Bill 297 (SB 297), a controversial piece of legislation being rushed through during the lame-duck session. The bill, endorsed by Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, seeks to encode the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism into state law, attaching this definition to heightened criminal penalties.

I strongly oppose SB 297 and ask our lawmakers to reject it. The bill is a repressive measure as it restricts our free speech. 
 
SB 297 trumps the First Amendment right of the US Constitution.
SB 297 falsely conflates legitimate criticism of Israel with antisemitism.
SB 297 would criminalize individuals for daring to criticize Israeli crimes.
SB 297 is being introduced at a time when the Israeli army is committing genocide, ethnic cleansing, and using starvation as a weapon against Palestinians, which are all recognized as war crimes and crimes against humanity. 
 
While Israel is telling Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank to leave, surrender, or die,
SB 297 is telling Palestinian advocates in the US, "Stay out of it.

The Best of Substack -Today.

Today is a great example of why everyone who is interested in current affairs should be using substack to gather information. I could write this everyday, but for today:

Ken Klippenstein has published Luigi Mangione's manifesto. The mainstream media in the American Empire is funded via advertising revenue by the health care industry, so it should be no surprise that they are burying Luigi's manifesto. Ken asked the MSM for comment. “I queried the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN and NBC to at least give them a chance to make their case for withholding the Luigi Mangione manifesto. They didn't even respond! “

Ken also published the UHC talking points to it's employees. And for your entertainment, the comments on his this are fun reading. No MSM hand wringing about how terrible we should feel when a psychopath is murdered. Instead, what does Luigi have to say?

The manifesto is partially reprinted below.
