Former Columbus City Council Candidate Joe Motil states that it is finally time for construction industry leaders to begin addressing the racist, sexist, and homophobic environment on construction projects here in Central Ohio. Columbus Business First reported (Facebook data center construction halted in New Albany after "racist graffiti" found on site) today that Turner Construction halted work activities at the Facebook Data Center construction site in New Albany due to “racially charged graffiti” that was scrawled on six portable toilets on the site. The Facebook construction project is currently the largest project in Central Ohio.

The company said, “This is totally unacceptable. We suspended work to send a message about how serious we take this behavior and to provide time for every single person on the site to participate in anti-bias training. Work will resume when training is complete.”

What will it take for the idea of a two-state solution, which was hardly practical to begin with, to be completely abandoned? 

Every realistic assessment of the situation on the ground indicates, with palpable clarity, that there can never be a viable Palestinian state in parts of the West Bank and Gaza.

Politically, the idea is also untenable. Those who are still marketing the ‘two-state solution’, less enthusiastically now as compared with the euphoria of twenty years ago, are paralyzed in the face of the Israeli-American onslaught on any attempt at making ‘Palestine’ a tangible reality.

On the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, we are here to stand in solidarity with Hibakusha, the survivors of the atomic bombings, and say: No more Hiroshimas, no more Nagasakis — never again!

Gensuikyo, the Japan Council against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs, says (at http://www.antiatom.org/intro_activity/solidarity.html): “「核兵器と人類は共存できない」「生きているうちに核兵器廃絶を」―これらは被爆者のねがいです。(“‘Kakuheiki to jinrui wa kyozondekinai’ ‘Ikiteiruuchini kakuheikihaizetsuo’ — korewa hibakushano negaidesu).” Hibakusha believe that “it’s impossible for humanity to coexist with nuclear weapons.” Their hope is to “see the abolition of nuclear weapons within their lifetime.” There are still some 190,000 Hibakusha. The average age of hibakusha today is over 82. We have only a few more decades to make their wish come true.

Defund the Military, Refund Humanity

First, heartfelt thank you goes out to Mercer County Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey Ingraham for answering prayers for leniency. Wisdom, kindness, compassion. Justice as it should be.

There’s a story here, one that winds through small town America, Halloween, a drug bust, qualifying medical conditions, hostile prosecution, an arduous three years, a half million dollars and justice for patients in the end.

It all began in Rockford, a village of 1,120 people in Mercer County on the far west side of Ohio.  White rural Republican red state, it’s a place where miles of soybeans, wheat and corn align razor straight roads. A “Mayberry” of the Midwest.

Ghosts and goblins have been known to haunt Halloween, usually as costumed kids ringing nearby doorbells in pursuit of candy and cookies. A knock on the door of the Keeling family on October 31, 2017, however, took on more ghoulish proportions. 

Recently I've become aware that OSU wants to build a new power plant that runs on fracked gas, and it's got me pretty angry both as a student and as a taxpayer. I’m a third-year undergraduate student at OSU's School of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. The global climate crisis is no new topic to me. I've been hearing about it, its causes (chiefly fossil fuel usage) and its solutions (replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources), since the 1st grade. It's always been a looming problem in my mind but I always assumed that our society would adjust and solve the problem. Evidently, the steering wheel is still in the hands of people who don't feel the same urgency that my generation feels. I enrolled at OSU because I thought of it as a cutting edge research school. I thought it'd be part of the solution to the biggest problems of this era. This proposal has shown me that the reality is much less promising.
