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.

It is estimated that early 7 million people took part in demonstrations across more than 2,700 cities and towns making it one of the largest single-day nationwide protests in U.S. history. Scenes from Chicago. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

To all the disingenuous or ignorant people posting that "No Kings" is ridiculous because Trump never claimed to be a king, here is an official tweet from the White House earlier this year:

something they aren’t. Don’t worry, the rampant persistent hate is trying to make a big comeback, but WE don’t give a single fuck what these people have to say! PS- Matt, your tank top is blissfully distracting #BodyKarate 🥵💞🤭

the rampant persistent HATE & mistreatment from the world in general and this country more specifically had diminished & people were feeling more comfortable & less terrified to be their TRUE AUTHENTIC SELF!

Great conversation about a fake progressive & ally. I used to occasionally watch Politically Incorrect when I wasn’t at sea & watched Real Time pretty regularly up until 2015-16. Bill LOVES to say that he hasn’t changed, everyone else has. But I deeply disagree. He used to be a voice I respected,

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!

Donald Trump is weak. He’s a bully. And when we won’t bow down to kings or to bullies, they start to lose their power.

The American people do not bow down.

This pic from Chicago today made me ponder how we see many enormous post-election rallies against Trump, but we never see enormous rallies *for* Trump. Sure, we see a score of people on the roadside with flags every so often, but nothing like this. Maybe he's just not as popular as he thinks he is.

Whoever came up with the idea of mocking this gratuitously cruel regime with cute, nonthreatening plastic frogs really hit a gold mine. The clever imagery has made it all the way across the Atlantic.
