The fight back continues! As we enter Black history month we honor the legacy of struggle. We are mobilizing to defend immigrant families, and we must defend the gains of the civil rights revolution which united struggles across our class! 

Join PSL as we continue building an independent movement against Trump and the billionaire agenda! We have the power to fight for a better world, but we have to be organized to take it!  Party for Socialism and Liberation.  

As I'm sure you're well aware, Donald Trump has handed unelected billionaire Elon Musk the keys to our federal government.  

And if he isn't stopped – as we're demanding in our Fire Elon Musk campaign – he'll keep wreaking havoc, shutting down key government services, and attacking our civil servants.

It's an outrageous abuse of power and is harming millions of Americans – but right now, Congress is acting like everything’s business as usual.  

That's right: our elected officials are totally abandoning their duty to their constituents while Musk does as he pleases. I need your help to deliver them a wakeup call. Our senators have substantial power to help mitigate Musk's attacks, provided that they do their jobs and use it.

Please join her! Showing up at his office is super important.

Migration is a basic act of being human. It doesn’t matter whether you came from Kansas or Kenya, South Carolina or South Korea — Ohio is your home now.

The slew of anti-immigrant executive orders from the White House, and intimidation tactics against families, communities, schools, and workplaces, mean we need to raises our voices now. Help show that we are UNITED in ensuring local municipalities work for the good of all residents, because immigrants are beloved members of our Ohio family.

Can you join us in asking your local officials to affirm their commitment to making their municipalities a safe place for all immigrants to live, work, learn and thrive?

I pranced off the bus at Yellow Springs Brewery Columbus at Indianola. I entered. I saw a sign for Meatless Mondays.

Monday = Half-off vegan sandwiches

I smiled. Craft beer is a almost barista pastry and/or relaxing buzz. Food is a necessity lifestyle.

Meatless Monday implied plant-based food is obtainable and cost effective.

I rode the number 4 while walking up 161 from the Worthington Library. I finished errands. I picked up a series of French New Wave Shorts. Winter is for watching Barbillion, Doniol-Valcroze, Godard, Pialat, Truffaut, Varda etc.

I saw the Yellow Springs Columbus Columbus Brewery Sign off Indianola. I’ve read Dave Chappelle, Coretta Scott King, Winona LaDuke, Francis Cress Welsing, and John Robbins. I’ve known several women who attended OSU after Antioch. I figured Yellow Springs Brewery would offer me booze. I entered. I saw a table sign for Meatless Mondays.

Meatless Monday = Half-off vegan sandwiches

I perused the vegan things which could interact with my body.

Saturday, February 1, 7pm, Columbus Mennonite Church, 35 Oakland Park Ave.

Serious and comical love songs, fun trivia questions, and delicious home-made sweets will highlight the 15th annual Valentine’s concert by Bill Cohen and friends from 7pm to 9pm on Saturday, February 1.

With guitar and piano, Bill will sing favorites, from the 1940s through the 1990s, made famous by John Denver, the Everly Brothers, Sam Cooke, James Taylor, Sting, Patti Page, and even “Weird Al” Yankovic.

Ann Fisher will be on hand to add some romantic flute accompaniment on several songs. David Maywhoor will keep the beat on percussion, and Dean Gledhill will add extra sparkle on lead guitar. Plus, the all-girl trio, The Harmonettes, will sing smooth backup vocals.

While the songs will reflect the ecstasy, warmth, heartache, and pain that love can bring, there will be a lighter side too, as Bill poses trivia questions about famous and infamous couples and love songs throughout the decades. Plus, expect a couple of surprises.

A rebirth of nuclear power is threatened in the United States. It stems from a combination of factors, including the U.S. government's refusal to seriously address actually clean energy, the political and propaganda power of the nuclear weapons and nuclear energy industries, the poor quality of U.S. education, the sad state of corporate media, and the rise of a tech-firm oligarchy.

Click here to tell your state legislators and governor to make Ohio a nuclear free zone.

In the absence of actual intelligence, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google are making grand plans to use nuclear energy to power their Artificial Intelligence installations. Even the site of the most famous (even if never properly understood) U.S. nuclear disaster, Three Mile Island, is making plans for courting new disasters, despite strong local opposition.
