Indiana University, which has now been subordinated to the direct control of the Indiana GOP, announces that criticism of the MAGA movement and doctrines of the GOP is forbidden. An instructor is dismissed for speaking critical words about the MAGA movement.

So funny how the WSJ is the only paper of record doing actually investigative reporting on the administration

In fairness, they’ve been required for the reactionary left for quite some time. The right are just taking a page from our own playbook

Damning Video Shows DHS Agents Pepper-Spray a Baby The Department of Homeland Security has denied it.

"President Donald Trump’s federal law enforcement crackdown has hit a disgusting new low, after federal agents reportedly pepper-sprayed a 1-year-old in Chicago and then lied about it."
