If you live in Ohio, you will be reassured to know that legislators are devoting time and energy to the most pressing problems Americans are facing: drag shows, performances of the sick gender bending "comedy" As You Like It by that favourite of the elites, the wokester William Shakespeare, and the ever growing menace of women wearing sports bras in “physical proximity” to those who are not members of the wearer's household.

No bikinis, halter tops or T-shirts. Ohio lawmakers aim to make Columbus the “Tehran on the Scioto” by banning drag show and controlling what women wear.

#National #HANDSOFF #OHIO Warren Ohio Stop ICE Warehouse Detention! National Day of Action Saturday, April 25 2 – 4pm EDT Courthouse Square 161 High St NW Warren, OH 44481 www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

Stop ICE Warehouse Detention! ...
Stop ICE Warehouse Detention! National Day of Action · Mobilize

Join us outside at Courthouse Square as part of a national day of action! Support the safety of our communities by opposing ICE warehouse detention. ICE is moving to lock thousands of people in massive detention warehouses — disappearing them from their families, lawyers, and communities. Without due process, everyone — whether or not they are immigrants — is at risk of detention. These warehouses also divert critical resources from local residents, threatening water and sewerage systems. The government has been scouting, buying, and converting warehouses nationwide for ICE detention. Of 23 planned warehouses, ten have already been purchased, but other deals have been prevented or canceled because communities have spoken out. WE WANT OUR COMMUNITY TO SPEAK OUT. Let's gather to: - Demonstrate resistance to ICE warehouse detention in our communities - Protect community resources like water and sewerage systems - Demand that our elected officials defend due process for everyone - Show up for each other and our shared home Bring a sign. Bring your neighbors. Bring your voice. This action is part of the Communities Not Cages National Day of Action organized by the Disappeared In America campaign and partners including Detention Watch Network, Indivisible, Public Citizen, The Workers Circle, MoveOn and many others. A core principle behind all Disappeared In America events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

A torch flickers to life in the dim theater of Gateway Film Center, not on a remote island but near Ohio State’s campus. For this one night, students didn’t just watch Survivor — they heard it directly from women who outwitted, outplayed and outlasted their competition.
