The Ohio Coalition To End Qualified Immunity (The OCEQI) announces serious concerns regarding Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s repeated public hostility toward the proposed initiative aimed at ending qualified immunity, prosecutorial immunity, sovereign immunity, and all statutory immunities enjoyed by the government to the detriment of the people.

Over the past two years, Secretary LaRose has engaged in a pattern of false and disparaging statements about the initiative and its sponsors, referring to it as an “assault on our state constitution” and accusing its backers of being financed by “the radical left.” In an article by the Toledo Blade on August 10, 2023, Secretary LaRose claimed the initiative “threatens to unleash a flood of frivolous, politically motivated lawsuits against the brave men and women trying to protect our communities.”

“Imperialism leaves behind germs of rot which we must clinically detect and remove from our land but from our minds as well,” Frantz Fanon wrote in ‘The Wretched of the Earth’.

 What the iconic anti-colonial philosopher and psychiatrist was essentially arguing is that the mind must be decolonized first, in order for the undoing of colonialism to succeed in all aspects of our liberation.  

 Many in the Global South, but especially intellectuals and analysts concerned with Middle Eastern affairs, are still struggling with their relationship with the United States.

Skylab’s last party wasn’t a reunion of the history of DIY @ 57 E. Gay Street.

Last Skylab Party: Friday November 22, 2024

The current Skylab community danced with a reunion of late 90’s techno, Friday November 22, 2024. I ain’t saying 90s Techno wasn’t artistic or involved with Columbus culture. I think late 90s techno in 90s DIY circles were at a Space called Fire Exit. I don’t know if Fire Exit utilized FBK, Stevie Zeven, Fractured Eons, and Chris Mckee.

Do you consider Mouse on Mars an electronic group? I saw Mouse on Mars at Fire Exit.

I think the Elemental Crew were the techno deejay’s involved with Fire Exit. Elemental were involved with Titonton, Todd Sines ETC. I’d seen Titonton’s name from Skylab’s Instagram during this year. Titonton, Todd Sines ETC. weren’t at Friday’s event, but I talked with people who attended Fire Exit techno events.

FB, Stevie Zeven, Fractured Eons, and Chris Mckee weren’t wack. I kept realizing I didn’t hate the techno music.
