Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

This is amazing!!

Sara Whitmer • • • 1h • 8 I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town. Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming. Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance. 75 12 comments

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

Trump is funneling $170 BILLION to DHS and ICE.

FOR THIS. 👇

We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

64% of America think country now too polarized to solve nation’s problems. It is broken.

"Polarization" viewed as 2nd most important issue.

Exploiting social media echo chambers to spread misinformation (about immigrants, crime, economy, vaccines, etc) BIG part of this...

Robert Reich Trump’s Pay-to-Pardon Scheme

The indictment of James Comey is just the latest example of Trump weaponizing the Justice Department to go after his political enemies.

At the same time, he’s doling out favors to his supporters and allies – including white collar criminals. Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NflcWXdV-B0

Draft ‘MAHA’ plan to improve kids’ health leaked. Here’s what’s in it. A leaked draft of the “Make Our Children Healthy Again Strategy” avoids a crackdown the food and agriculture industries had feared.

Again, lots of pseudoscience, harmful BS, and, mostly, NOTHING.

MAHA mostly about legitimizing BUNK, selling supplements, and appealing to an anti-science base.

“An Egalitarian Pressure”: Australia Has Been Requiring People to Vote for 100 Years As Australia compels voters to show up at the polls this weekend, a scholar lays out the genesis of

"What we know from research is, if you don’t have compulsory voting, the people least likely to vote are poorer people, people from new migrant groups, and often the young," says an Australian scholar on what it means that Australia requires voting.

All academic institutions will soon realize we are in this together, facing an autocratic ruler who wants to destroy academia, science, and public health (together with media and courts - pick up a history book).

There is only one solution - stand up, speak up, and, critically, collective action.

Stepping outside science: what and ugh

just went to immigration court in Lower Manhattan to see with my own eyes how masked and armed federal agents are apprehending people in the hallways as they walk out of their scheduled hearings.

Watch Sunday Best: The Untold Story of Ed Sullivan | Netflix Official Site Ed Sullivan broke barriers by booking Black artists on his Sunday night variety show. This documentary spotlights the TV pioneer's legacy of equality.

Watching the documentary “Sunday Best.” Terrific because, 1. It shows the difference 1 person with principles & courage can make in the world, 2. It suggests that CBS at one time had a spine, & 3. As horrible as things are today, they were a lot worse in the 50s & 60s. www.netflix.com/title/82048609

Straight talk from Dr. Francis Collins on the devastating - and politically motivated - cuts to science and public health in the United States.

Anybody who cares about their health or the future or science, technology, and innovation in this country should watch this.
