Student media rules. They are lapping a lot of the spineless media orgs this year and showing how solidarity is the way.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

Purdue has also worked hard to hamstring the Exponent recently. The Boilermakers put the two stories together in their B-town special.

Everyone wants to know if their electric bill is going up, and by how much.

The short answer, we don’t know … yet. AES Indiana has come up with a settlement to raise rates by $10 instead of $21, but the final say is up to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission: https://bit.ly/4qnFry3

300,000 Hoosiers are on Obamacare. Soon, many could be priced out and uninsured.

That’s because Congress, amid a gov. shutdown, hasn’t extended subsidies that help people afford plans. And insurance companies are raising their premiums by 20% next year.
