They’re down to 75,000 subscribers. Their lowest number in over 50 years. Democracy most definitely died. Makes me sad for Katherine Graham.

Here's an issue from the Purdue Univ. student paper, The Exponent, dealing with the IU censorship of their student paper. Purdue put it in IU news boxes. (Purdue & IU are normally huge sports rivals.)

Incredible. If you grew up in Indiana, you know what a big deal this is.

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.

Okay new idea for a library service: leave a hobby take a hobby. When people get bored with a hobby they can come and leave their supplies and books and half-finished things, and exchange them for someone else’s supplies and books and half-finished things. Hobby swap.

I think he’ll be gone within 6 months or less. That’s not the point I’m making. It’s true that some won’t live long enough to suffer consequences, but I believe that whoever is still around will be hunted down.

If you use the word “never” then you’ve already been defeated.

Art Nerd 🦋(Titanium)🦋 🚫 👑 🐸 @titaniumartnerd.bsky.social · 15h

You’re assuming we’ll never overcome? Never prosecute the criminals?

We first have to defeat them. And when we do, I fully expect the ones who participate who are still living and breathing be hunted down and prosecuted. And I’m not willing to consider any other alternative

Remember just because you are peaceful it doesn’t mean the regime will be.

The protests are expected to be peaceful however the regime wants to crackdown with or without an excuse, don’t give them the satisfaction of arresting or terrorizing you. Be cool, be brave, and be strong. #3E #NoKings

Yes, for about 4 decades East Germany existed, but it didn’t take a full 100 years for Germany to gain respect again as a country, and that gives me some hope. I don’t think humans will ever eradicate that mentality fully, but I do think we will stuff it back in its box and slap the lid back on it.

The regime wants you to focus on their accounts & narrative, by engaging directly with them you are following their lead. They need the attention you give their trolling / posts to distract you from their actions.

Block them and double down on their actions, the Epstein files, and crimes. #3E

I spy a cute corgi!

Special request tho? I’m going to need everyone to stop saying “at the end of the day.” I’ve been making fun of that phrase since the 90s. 😬

Did it take Germany 100 years? I don’t think so. 🤔
