They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Everyone sitting at that table has co-signed this abusive behavior. No Bible verse or prayer or claim to be “in Christ” changes that. Tax-funded death cult.

🧵I do my noncooperation threads bc I know most of it gets lost in the news firehose. I know courage is contagious & that we have to en-courage each other.

And/but: We're at the stage of the fight where wins are small & often temporary. Each small win matters, &/but it may be like this for years.

On October 18th, millions of brave Americans will stand up and peacefully protest against the authoritarian disease metastasizing under Donald Trump.

No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. @gtconway.bsky.social

Ohana's speech has been a lesson in a certain Israeli myopia. Hardly a mention of the Palestinians or the devastation and destruction in Gaza.
