This is amazing. Congratulations to the student journalists at both institutions for showing your integrity and commitment to a free press.

I am an IU parent and am disgusted by this shameful and unconstitutional decision by the University. All fundraising appeals will go straight to the trash where they belong.

I read that too and was astonished at that response. Male loneliness epidemic indeed.

Not a bad turnout for a Wednesday night. I ❤️ Chicago.

Like… it's kind of right there, no?

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

I want to throw up.

The ugly inhumanity is hard to grasp. And that so many are cheering on realizing this racist hatred is horrifying.

Glamour Magazine with the harsh truth.

I am so ashamed of my country right now.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

That is disgusting and disgraceful. I am sorry you were treated like this and I am very sorry that people who have such hypocritical views hold power.

This isn’t Moscow or Beijing. It’s Chicago. Masked federal agents grabbed U.S. citizens protesting ICE and threw them into an unmarked van.

“Who are you? Where are you taking them?” people shouted. “You are kidnapping them!”

What has America become?

Great thread for all #Chicago people on Bluesky. #notroops

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with one of his own states.

This is completely unhinged.

Today I suspended in-person work requirements for staff in our downtown Chicago office so we can prioritize their safety & security. The majority of our team are Black & Brown people & most take public transportation. We gain a lot from being together, but their safety is more important. #NoTroops

10 Years After State Budget Impasse, Human Services in Illinois Again Brace for ‘Tsunami’ Nonprofits hurt by impasse boosted budgets with federal funding — now endangered by Trump.

Our CEO, @andidurbin.bsky.social, was quoted in this thoughtful and cautious piece by @illinoisanswers.bsky.social about the state of Illinois' human services sector ten years after the budget impasse began.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

Substack’s extremist ecosystem is flourishing The app's recent swastika push alert was just the tip of the iceberg.

NEW: Since giving NYT hacked info from a Nazi and sending a swastika push alert, Substack's extremism is in the spotlight again. An investigation finds Substack is a haven for newsletters dedicated to white supremacy—with the co-founders' blessing.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

A tabby cat is sleeping upside down in a rectangular basket with her head completely hidden and her two front paws dangling over the side of the basket. She appears to be decapitated.

What a weirdo! #Caturday #timelinecleanse

How about half the Supreme Court? Roberts, Alito, Kavanaugh, Thomas for sure. Maybe ACB just for funsies? Nah. Bannon. Uihlein. Koch Bros. Noem? Put another techbro on there too.

I believe you.

US FDA suspends milk quality tests amid workforce cuts The Food and Drug Administration is suspending a quality control program for testing of fluid milk and other dairy products due to reduced capacity in its food safety and nutrition division, according to an internal email seen by Reuters.

This is not reassuring at all.
