Indiana University fires IDS
adviser amid push to control
student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

ICE agents interfered with—and even threatened to “shoot and arrest”—emergency personnel rescuing an injured protester last week in Portland.

The agent “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner,” the driver recalled, “and began viciously yelling in my face.

You may have noticed that folks who are from Chicago love this city. There's a reason for that. I walked to the lake with friends yesterday, and when I saw the waves rolling in, I felt something shift back into place inside of me. So many parts of this city are part of me. We will defend this place.

Losing hope that I'll be able to keep my home. Not sure I can raise the full $875 this month for rent. I'm scared of being on the streets again. Last time, I had to rely on an abusive man to protect me. Please help me not go back there. tamilove21 on Cash App, Venmo, and Paypal.

Voodoo remains my favorite album of all time. I still listen to it constantly. Everything about it was brave, from how it was made to that one note in Devil’s Pie. This is tragic. RIP.

The shame is overwhelming, but I have to say it. I survived on the streets only by staying with a man who was my abuser and rapist. My current home is my shield. Anything helps to keep that shield up.

We are in a new hell that I know we’d predicted we’d come to, but it still stings.

No one really knows what this administration’s definition of freedom of the press and speech is, but it isn’t the one we’d all understood it to constitutionally be.

State media is not freedom of the press.

Nearly every media outlet is announcing they will refuse to sign the Pentagon’s new rule stating they cannot report information if it’s not government “authorized.”

Even Newsmax is refusing to sign.

Meanwhile, in Masafer Yatta, the ethnic cleansing continues. Having attacked homes, fields, wells and ancient caves, the Israelis are now flattening the tents and trees families shelter under. Is it good to see hostages / prisoners released? Yes! But Middle East “peace” this is not.

The first story I ever wrote as a reporter was about a racial solidarity bike ride through this neighborhood after police killed George Floyd. We stopped along the way at sites of environmental pollution neighbors are still fighting to have decontaminated. There are no words for this evil.

Based on the video shared by Univision (they've paired it with overhead from ABC), today's attack might be the most chemical gas we've seen feds launch into a neighborhood so far. The clouds are enormous/that's a lot of canisters. Completely engulfing cars and homes.
