We don't get Trump without Cheney. Trump is an enormous consequence of Cheney's breathtaking, unchecked corruption and expansion of executive powers. Cheney opposed Trump, but he also's more responsible for our current moment than probably any other person.

Breaking another presidential norm, Trump drops the f-bomb on camera

Presidents have been known to use salty language behind closed doors. But President Trump may be the first to very deliberately drop an f-bomb on camera.

I'm from Indiana but live in Massachusetts. It feels common in families who are friendly and collect folks. My kids recently were like "wait, Jerold isn't related to us?" 🤷‍♀️ Chosen family is important!

My partner's mom told me she's rooting for the Blue Jays because they are "Nice Canadians" and I think a lot of us feel that in our soul right now. 😂

How was it on your side? I was running around like a mad woman getting the bands and speakers up on stage, and I haven't heard much from folks outside the folks I organize with on how the day was

This is Rahsaan Hall, both a Reverand and the president of ULEM. He had such great energy and was wonderful to work with as an emcee.

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 Fscist 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.
