Please, please, please stop using genAI to make your protest or ‘resistance‘ images, for feck’s sake! This is part of the shit you claim to be resisting!

It is literally a symbol of billionaires undermining individual creativity and harvesting it so they can amass more wealth by mass producing it.

came to say this. Also, you can try to get them them with an empty soda or beer can filled part of the way with soapy water. Sure you could buy a fancy thing, but it's just for dead ants so who cares?

Indiana University fully cut the Indiana Daily Student’s print newspaper — including the special publications it had earlier indicated it wanted us to run — Tuesday evening, hours after firing its student media director. Our next edition, part of volume 158, in our 158th year of publication, was set to go out Thursday.

IU and The Media School had previously directed the IDS to stop printing news coverage in our newspaper. Only the special editions, traditionally included as inserts in our paper. Telling us what we can and cannot print is unlawful censorship. The Student Press Law Center agrees and had told the university to reverse course.
After former Director of Student Media Jim Rodenbush resisted, IU fired him. When we asked them to rescind the order, it cut print entirely.

So the newsstands Thursday, and all other Thursdays from now on, will not have news, sports, arts or investigative stories. No letters. Not even the special publications they had originally wanted us to print.

We didn’t make this call. Media School Dean David Tolchinsky sent the order to us in an email responding to our appeal that the school not censor our newspaper. He didn’t respond when we asked for clarification.

When approached Wednesday, Tolchinsky had no substantial response to questions surrounding Rodenbush’s termination or cutting IDS print entirely. Galen Clavio, the Media School’s associate dean for undergraduate education, told the IDS his understanding was that an interim director of student media “has either been named or will be shortly” and a search is coming.

We reached back out to multiple administrators and IU spokesperson Mark Bode on Wednesday for further clarification.

“Indiana University Bloomington is firmly committed to the free expression and editorial independence of student media,” IU Bloomington Chancellor David Reingold said in a statement. “The university has not and will not interfere with their editorial judgment.”
“In support of the Media School …

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

@theonion.com is going to have to start posting articles like "During a local town meeting, people agreed to pass a motion that expands the school lunch program." if they want to write fantastical stories that could never happen.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Let's not forget that there are laws that make it so you can't earn above poverty wages and still keep your benefits. If you're going to make more on benefits when it comes down to your costs then you can't legally work regardless of how much you want to.

We have not called for this. We do not need this.

Donald Trump is pitting sovereign states against one another in effort to consolidate his own power at the expense of our constitutional rights—

An egregious abuse of power.

He is pushing us closer to authoritarianism.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

I can't disagree more. That's not what we as the opposition should be doing. Lockers are for books and learning, or boxing gloves, stuff for personal improvement. There are perfectly fine dumpsters waiting for a fire to happen everywhere.

If ICE is watching everything we do now, confuse them. Find the strangest shit to look up, make them read the worst #omegaverse stuff you can find. Skippidy that toilet as hard as possible. Throw rickrolls everywhere. Overwhelm them with so much stuff they quit and need therapy.
