Record

Turnstile’s Never Enough record is a fun musical listen.

Turnstile calls Columbus, Ohio home during the Baltimore band’s sold-out Columbus shows. Turnstile’s bassist Franz Lyons is from Columbus.

Franz skateboarded with Embassy Boardshop. Franz played at the DIY Hardcore house Legion of Doom. Franz frequented Sole Classics which is owned by OSU legend Pepper Johnson’s son, Buckeye Dionte Johnson. Sole Classics brought Kendrick Lamar into town for Kendrick’s first Columbus show.

Franz kicked it at Cafe Bourbon Street’s So What Wednesdays with Ahmed Gallab of Sinkane. Turnstile’s Columbus shows feel like large versions of the Columbus Franz is from. Kids are moshing with PMA everywhere.

People protesting

The 50501 Movement denounces the Trump administration’s escalating attacks on communities in Southern California and is mobilizing to protest nationwide in solidarity.

On June 6, ICE undertook warrantless, military-style raids in Los Angeles, detaining at least 44 people as part of Trump’s unconstitutional mass deportation plan. In response, protests erupted across the city. At a protest outside the Roybal Federal Building, SEIU-USWW President David Huerta was attacked and injured by federal agents while observing and documenting ICE activity. He was then unlawfully arrested.

People holding signs

On the last day of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Dayton, delegates unanimously adopted Resolution 497 which, among other belligerent assertions, emphasized “that only peace through strength can lead to lasting peace.” That is a fatally flawed and dangerous delusion. Peace through strength translates into the fallacy that “if you want peace, then prepare for war.” Preparation for war, which succinctly summarizes the overarching theme of the entire five-day Assembly, leads to war, not peace. NATO is not alone in that operational mobilization and development of war resources.

Huge protest march

 On June 14, millions of people in more than 1,500 cities across all 50 states and commonwealths will take to the streets. No Kings is expected to be the largest single-day mobilization since President Trump returned to office—a mass, nationwide protest rejecting authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarization of our democracy.

People meeting

Saturday, June 7, 2-4pm, Upper Arlington Public Library [Friends Theater], 2800 Tremont Rd.

DEI stands for “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” In our nation today, there are significant changes taking place within identified DEI programs on all different levels: companies, organizations, universities, schools, government, and more. Whether DEI programs are worthwhile or not is a topic worth learning more about and discussing by using “The Braver Angels Way.”

Some believe that these programs are essential to achieving fairness in our society. Some believe these programs have created more division and even furthered discrimination.

Join us for a discussion on this timely topic. There will be three panelists who will help us understand differing perspectives. A non-partisan panelist will provide a helpful overview of the purpose of and what is involved in DEI. Two other panelists will discuss the pros and cons of DEI programs from their knowledgeable and differing perspectives:

• Cindy Burack, Political Theorist and Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at The Ohio University

First Things First

We want to take a moment to say we know this has been a really hard week. So many Ohioans have been grappling with bad news that dramatically affects their lives. For example, in the last few days alone:
