Free Press is committed to documenting the people taken by ICE
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested, detained, deported, and/or imprisoned many people that it has unilaterally determined to be undesirables. At first, they claimed they would deport only criminals, but it has already gone beyond that. We at the Free Press consider every person who has been sent to the Tecoluca (El Salvador prison), Guantanamo naval base, or detained in other prisons throughout the country to be innocent until proven guilty. We will include students who have been expelled for protesting genocide. It appears the government will revoke Visa's to get rid of undesirable students. This article will be updated as long as is necessary.
Familiar tale gracefully blends feminism and fantasy
Feminism has a crucial role to play in modern life, but I sometimes wish it would leave our fairy tales alone. The results of its revisionist meddling are too often unconvincing and unsatisfying.
Remember last year’s Maleficent? It turned an age-old story on its head by revealing that the fairy (Angelina Jolie) who turned a princess into a “Sleeping Beauty” was not evil at all. No, she was merely wronged and misunderstood. Worst of all, we learned that the somnambulant princess could not be awakened by a kiss from the handsome prince, but only by a motherly peck from that same fairy.
How heartwarming. And how utterly unromantic.
Thank goodness Disney’s new live-action version of Cinderella doesn’t wear its feminism on its sleeve. It has nods to modern sensibilities, to be sure, but they’re handled with a lighter touch.

On the Eve of Thanksgiving, A Prayer for the Farmer and a Call to Action
On this Eve of Thanksgiving, as families gather in warm kitchens, stirring bubbling pots over hot stoves and setting tables in preparation for tomorrow’s feast, please do, truly give thanks to the farms, the farmers and to the animals and plants farmed which brought abundance to us this year.
Sharing food is a sacred act, and its eating is a gift from the Earth and from the communities who grew it. Food is a gift of life from one species to another, from the Earth herself, from the soil and land. Every act of food growing and consuming is part of a larger sacred web of nourishment and meaning with the aim and potential to sustain bodies, communities, and future generations.
The Trump-Mamdani Show Was Amazing. But Downsides for Progressives Could Turn Out to Be Steep
Across the political spectrum – with alarm on the right and delight on the left – the display of warmth from President Trump toward Zohran Mamdani on Friday set off shock waves. Trump’s lavish praise of New York’s mayor-elect in the Oval Office was a 180-degree turn from his condemnation of the democratic socialist as “a pure true communist” and “a total nut job.” The stunning about-face made for a great political drama. But what does it portend?
Trump and his MAGA followers are hardly going to forsake their standard mix of bigotry, anti-immigrant mania and other political toxins. Demagoguery fuels the Republican engine – and in the 11 months until the midterm elections, skullduggery to thwart democracy will accelerate rather than slow down.
Apology Accepted. Invoice Due.
In addition to approving $500,000 for a women’s volleyball team (owned by a rich millionaire) and also raising the rates for water your Columbus City Council was also the scene of an emotional apology by Councilmember Emanuel Remy.
Fantastic. He admitted what everyone already knew. He is a loud and aggressive bully, but has been taking a management class (paid for by your taxes) that will likely not change his core problem that he has no empathy for other people.
This is the man hand-picked by City Council President Shannon Hardin to represent his constituents’ needs and solve their problems. All of this goes back to Hardin pushing aside a Black woman and community advocate just to get Remy into City Council. He’s there and there’s nothing that Hardin is going to do about it other than ignore him.

Conspiracy Realist: someone who fails to cower in fear when described as a conspiracy “theorist”.
This author believes there is not one person in America who believes all the lies told to them over the past 62 years. Regardless of political persuasion (left, right, independent, religious, atheist, ) America has been lied to consistently and thoroughly during my lifetime. It is easy to point to the government, but the lies specifically originate at the Central Intelligence Agency, since they are behind most of the nefarious activity of the American Empire. We are all Conspiracy Realists. It is becoming clear that there is another factor behind the deception. Let me explain.

I stand with Sen. Mark Kelly against President Trump and Pete Hegseth
I stand with Sen. Mark Kelly against President Trump and his War Minister, Pete Hegseth. No one is buying Pete Hegseth and Trump's lies about Sen. Mark Kelly (D - AZ). We know what Sen. Kelly said. He reminded service members they are obligated to not to follow "illegal orders."
First of all, Kelly didn't tell anybody to violate lawful orders. He was educating many, especially those in the military. Evidently, Trump and the Pentagon need to be educated that Article 92 of the UCMJ informs military personnel only about the "failure to obey lawful orders or regulations."
