The tension in the room was palpable. A majority-minority crowd of Ohio State students, faculty, and staff packed the meeting space, faces tight with frustration, hands ready to clap in defiance. As President Walter “Ted” Carter Jr. confirmed the news—the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) and the Center for Belonging and Social Change (CBSC) were being shut down—the response was immediate.

Students jeered. Faculty members sharpened their words like weapons. The air crackled with a mixture of anger, disbelief, and determination.

Carter attempted to soften the blow, offering reassurances that Ohio State was still a place for all. The room erupted into laughter. The Students and Faculty knew exactly what was happening: a university caving under pressure, preemptively complying with laws that weren’t even in effect yet.

The meeting, which was intended to be a structured update, quickly became a battleground; and when Carter tried to shut it down early, the students and faculty refused to let it go.

I think that no head of state visiting the White House ever got treated as badly as Ukrainian president Zelenskyy did recently. Trump and VP Vance attacked and insulted him mercilessly. They acted more like gangsters "making someone a deal he couldn't refuse" rather then acting with diplomacy and respect. They needlessly sabotaged the meeting and did everything they could to blame others for their own ignorance and incompetence. They wanted Zelenskyy to sign an agreement he would never approve.

Keep in mind that English was not Zelenskyy's first language and I'm sure he was unprepared for the level of contempt and betrayal he received from America's misleaders.

Trump and Vance have spread numerous lies about the issue. They blamed Zelenskyy for starting the war! They even blamed our European allies and Biden for causing the conflict.  

They did not blame who is truly responsible - Vladimir Putin. Instead, they called Zelenskyy a dictator for trying to save his country from Russian aggression.
