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."

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.

Too bad Biden didn't have any leverage at all and just had to take "no" for an answer

Israel's dependence on the United States was stated bluntly by retired IDF Maj.
General Yitzhak Brick in an interview earlier this week.
"All of our missiles, the ammunition, the precision-guided bombs, all the airplanes and bombs, it's all from the U.S. The minute they turn off the tap, you can't keep fighting. You have no capability.... Everyone understands that we can't fight this war without the United States. Period."

I was an English major. I read regularly. Only two authors have ever made me laugh out loud: Kurt Vonnegut and Tomihiko Morimi.

If you have never read Morimi and want to laugh your butt off, I cannot recommend his work highly enough.

The cover for Tomihiko Morimi's The Tatami Galaxy, which features a collage of characters and elements from the story.

The occupation made him believe they were killed… Shock and joy as a Palestinian prisoner is surprised to find his wife and children alive.

The shameful part is that Palestinians were always telling the world what's happening & were always getting killed by Zionists. But those deaths were not enough. It took a full blown genocide for most westerners to come around...and even now some people have the audacity to say "it's complicated"

The beloved Saleh Al-Jafarawi has been murdered. We are absolutely devastated. For 2 years he reported on the genocide of his people, just for him to be murdered during the ‘ceasefire’

The first time I saw the word "antifa" I didn't know what it was, either. There's nothing particularly obvious about it.

Ify Nwadiwe @ifycomedy.com · 3d

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Everyday we must remind people that gestapo agents are committing atrocities. This is an ethnic cleaning. These are crimes against humanity. And they will be held accountable.

Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @joshuaeakle.com · 3d

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Remember that all of this is in defense of a detention center where people are being held in horrible conditions after being kidnapped off the street for no reason.

Again today, local police outside Broadview just aggressively arrested more protesters. Tough to tell exactly how many, but looks like 3-4 people were just detained.

This is such an important thing to remember - ceasefire or not, Palestinians are still without food, shelter, or medical supplies.

They still need help - you can donate to support multiple families here: chuffed.org/project/hope...

Israel is apparently demanding that if it’s gymnasts are not allowed into Indonesia for the world championships, the event should be “cancelled altogether, or transferred to an alternative host country.”

The event begins in nine days.

No thanks!

Israeli Gymnastics Federation has demanded that, if the decision to revoke the athletes' visas is not rescinded, Worlds will be "cancelled altogether, or transferred to an alternative host country that will allow all members of the World Federation to participate."
