ICE told Emerson Colindres, who just graduated HS, to get fitted for ankle monitor. It was a trick. They put him in Butler Jail to deport him bc he has path to legal status. If his family gives OK, I’ll share more. Hear from his mom + soccer coach in Cincinnati. www.fox19.com/video/2025/0...

VOICES: Immigrants are the heart of it all

Migration is a basic act of being human. Whether we came from Texas or Taiwan, Ohio is home to thousands upon thousands of migrants who had the courage and tenacity to move for a better life, looking ...

turned on the news in Taiwan this morning to see a literal chair blockade in parliament to stop conservatives from undermining their democracy thinking of all the possibilities back home…

there’s lots to be sad about but right now I’m finding joy in the fact I quickly and randomly created Wally the Walrus the Writer at a convening this summer who jokingly became the mascot of our national comms network, and now he’s been immortalized in pillow form and he’s perfect and I love him 😭🩵🥺

As some high profile liberals wring their hands and falsely claim that treating trans people with dignity and respect cost us an election, I'm proud to work for a union that continues to speak up for trans rights.

Every child deserves a safe & welcoming learning environment, but extremist legislators continue to bully vulnerable students rather than tackle real problems that our schools & communities face. Read our full statement on SB104, the latest harmful, divisive attack on trans & nonbinary students:

Graphic with text: “Every child deserves a safe and welcoming learning environment. We have been dismayed in recent years as extremist legislators have pushed for laws that target, intimidate, and harass trans and non-binary students. They do so at the expense of actually solving the real problems that students and educators face.
Their latest attack on Ohio students, SB 104, would ban trans K-12 and college students from using bathrooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity. SB 104 passed in the senate today without any opportunities for concerned Ohioans to testify."

graphic with text: "Bills like this make our most vulnerable students less safe. According to the Trevor Project, 54% of transgender and nonbinary youth in Ohio considered suicide in 2022 alone. More disturbingly, a peer-reviewed study recently found that anti-transgender laws lead to even higher rates of suicide attempts for transgender and nonbinary youth. The actions that legislators take have profound effects in the real world and a growing body of data shows how dangerous bills like this are."

graphic with text: "This bill has nothing to do with student safety and everything to do with political opportunism. There is no epidemic of student assaults in bathrooms and locker rooms. There is however an epidemic of gun violence in our schools and communities; firearms are the leading cause of death for American children and teens. Motor vehicle accidents are the second leading cause of death. These are real safety issues that need to be addressed. "

graphic with text: "As educators, library workers, and social work professionals, OFT members will continue to treat every child with whom we work with respect and dignity. We urge Governor DeWine to protect Ohio kids and veto this bill.” — OFT President Melissa Cropper
