Only a few decades. Depending on your age, you might be around for a new era!

Interesting times are great, huh?

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

I mean at what point do they realize they could be seriously injured by doing this? The fact that they might get to shoot the victim doesn’t seriously outweigh the risks does it?

A categorically new version of pornography centered on narrative while avoiding exploitation of sex workers and millions of liberal millennials inexplicably pretending like they're not going to use it

Groups need to stand strong. Trump goons still have to get warrants. And they still have to face judges and juries.

And what can we do about it? Can we force people to believe the truth? We should fund rural health as much as we can - but we can’t when the majority don’t want it and elect people who don’t want to fund it.

They don’t like condescending liberals telling them what to do. So be it.

What could the Ds have done today in anticipation of Roberts Court positioning to gut Sec 2? Basics:
- coordinated press releases from Schumer, Durbin (SJC, Jeffries, Raskin (HJC)
- pr/email from DNC, DCCC chairs
- blasts from Dem Govs
- TV appearances
- Saturating social media to pressure scotus

Let them believe what they want and live and die by their beliefs. They are adults, not children. They have brains. If they want to believe nonsense, and drive away doctors and nurses with their hatred, that’s their choice.

UPDATE: Following the firing of the director of the student newspaper, Indiana University has now cut the print edition of the newspaper entirely.

Indiana University cuts IDS print entirely, hours after firing student media director
By IDS staff
Oct 15, 2025 1:23 pm · Updated Oct 15, 2025 1:23 pm

IU previously directed the Indiana Daily Student to stop printing news coverage in our newspaper. Upon pushback, the university fully cut print, including our special editions. The IDS was not involved in the decision.

Media School Dean David Tolchinsky sent the order to IDS leadership in an email responding to its appeal that the school not censor the newspaper. And the dean attributed the decision to “the campus.” He has not yet responded to a message for clarification.

Yes I think them talking about it has been a strategic mistake.

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.
