Indiana University banned its student newspaper from printing just days before homecoming weekend — after firing the paper’s advisor when he refused to censor critical coverage. That would be bad enough on its own, but FIRE is taking this one personally, as the Indiana Daily Student reported this hostile campaign was due in part to its coverage of FIRE’s ranking Indiana University as the worst public university for free speech. You read that right. The school’s response to the news that they are bad at free speech … is to censor the news. It’s ironic — and not just in the Alanis Morissette sense — that these actions will likely push its overall ranking even lower next year. At least we can’t fault them for consistency.

Why did Indiana University attack and cut its own student newspaper?

Well, in a twist of irony any English professor would call clichéd, it turns out IU did it because they were angry about the students' reporting on a FIRE report naming IU as the worst public university for free speech in the US.

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute learned that the Government of Ontario, Canada, created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan delivering his "Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade," dated April 25, 1987. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address, and the Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter. We encourage you to watch President Reagan's unedited video on our YouTube channel.

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish.

The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy

U.S. Deploys Aircraft Carrier to Latin America as Drug Operation Expands

Must suck to be a China hawk and watch the US Navy's most advanced aircraft carrier being deployed off the Venezuelan coast to plink unarmed speedboats & threaten regime change that might bog the US down (again)

Daily Mail: extremist left winger who said Israel behaved like ‘terrorist stare’ confirmed as Irish president

A big congratulations and well done to the beautiful nation of Ireland

Zack Polanski • @zackpolan... • 18h People aren't leaving the Labour Party. The Labour Party have left them. I spoke today with Sky News - live from Swindon.

If you’re vaguely left wing and find yourself on the opposite side of an argument from Labour on something you care about, then you assume they’re just misguided. Then, you notice they are being wildly dishonest and often very unpleasant. Then you notice they oppose you on most stuff you care about.

I'm gonna keep saying it: he's trash and everything he does is trash, but also it's a good thing for people to see how easy it is to destroy and remake sites of obscene white supremacist power like the White House

Would you be willing to pt me to some literature on that?

Yes, we heard it was very impressive 😜. And don't bother citing your sources. You wouldn't want to rise above Rachel's niche "investigative" echo chamber.

Naw, don't think that's the case bruv, and this...

Do tell Professor Poli-Sci.

Wonder if they'll use French at the debate in Montreal next month. Know who speaks French fluently? Your fave Yves Engler, whose platform is actually superior yvesforndpleader.ca/policy/

Seems like an important appointment, but are you suggesting that a significant # of those who are incarcerated and identify as Indigenous are pretendians?

One thing I’d be nice if Schatz and others acknowledged is that even judging their hard right turn on immigration in Spring 2024 on its own terms it failed miserably. In July when Harris took over Trump led on “immigration” by 9pts, by election day he led 13pts. At best it, electorally, did nothing

Oh hey that's me

I was told the bombing would stop if only the hostages were returned 🤔

Nope. Harris simply decided she’d rather lose than be anti-genocide, but you’re so very well trained to blame the victims, never the perps. Please add this gaslighter to your blocks. Thanks.

Saying Trump deserves the Nobel peace prize for stopping the genocide he was arming & funding in Gaza as he keeps it occupied is like saying a wife-beater deserves a feminism award for agreeing to stop beating his wife to a pulp every night & locking her in the bathroom instead.

Yep. They gave the peace prize to a fascist sympathizer
These institutions of “democracy” need to pack it up because they are not doing us any good except to spread hate

Already today, Israel has:

-Conducted a drone strike on Khan Younis in Gaza

-Shot & wounded two others near Khan Younis

-Killed 5 Palestinians in Gaza City

-Fired on & wounded a several others near Jabalia

All in violation of the “ceasefire.”

A meaningful ceasefire is the floor. It is the beginning. Rebuilding and an end to the occupation is ongoing. #FreePalestine

Of the 2500 or so Palestinian people Israel released, they determined that 150 were so dangerous they would only be released in another country. Which means that the other 2300 or so weren't actually dangerous, and were in fact hostages that were traded for IDF pows. The news should reflect that.

500,000 Supporters of Palestine have turn up in London.

It's not over, it has only just started.

We must get that Palestine State, completely free of Israel.

An extremely rough day for Edgewater in Chicago. ICE activity near schools. People kidnapped while working in yards, standing on hiring corners. So many rapid responders biking, walking, driving, whistles around necks, trying to protect their neighbors, but up against such well-funded forces.

The Nobel Peace Prize is garbage, they have given it to Maria Corina Machado because she is the person they want to takeover Venezuela so they can loot its oil.

Donald Trump will get it next year for Gaza, no matter how many people die there in the next year.
