LETTER FROM THE EDITORS: IDS to continue printing after IU reverses course Our next edition will hit the stands Nov. 20.

Big win for the whole IU community. Keep up the pressure on the administration to fire Whitten and restore the honor of the university for the glory of old IU #iufb #iubb #iuwbb #iums #IUB

Lots to clean up obviously with what seems like a brand new team but really impressed with athleticism and effort. Hopefully the strong shooting keeps going! iuwbb

Press release said Fenn will be out again this year unfortunately. Said it was a knee injury but didn’t say if it was new or lingering from the last one

Free speech foundation ranks IU as worst public college Indiana University sank to near the bottom of The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression College Free Speech Rankings this year.

I know #IU football is really fun (for the first time in my adult life) and it's really easy to feel good about IU. I am begging alumni to get involved and help make a difference in what is happening there.

#IU is now the worst-ranked public univesity in the nation for freedom of speech.

Next time you find yourself in a discussion about the differences between liberals, leftists, democratic socialists, moderates, progressives, and never trumpers, remember: billionaires don't give a fuck. We're all the same to them: human capitol stock. And they love it when we fight each other.

No matter how many times IU does this to a good team I will never get used to it. So many years of blowing leads and just hoping for six wins. Just incredible feeling for this long time fan. #iufb

Hard to say yet. Rourke was awfully shaky in first game last year. Illinois game will show us what we have. I will say he has nice pocket awareness/movement so that’s good.

Over 200 people are shutting down Palantir's office in Palo Alto, CA right now. This is perhaps the company most driving corporate fascism, kidnappings, and war across the globe. #PurgePalantir

When fake news is dead serious Satirical news sites like The Onion are doing the work that legitimate publications won't by taking a stand.

Another nice little story about the best newspaper in America.

What the Dem party doesn’t understand is that the election in NYC is a test for the 26 midterms.

Young people are testing to see if they will ever be allowed to assert their priorities over the priorities of monied interests who buy elections like Bloomberg, and old school patrons like Cuomo.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.
