The reasons for the No Kings protests, redistricting, and the upset over the treatment of student journalism are worthy topics/conversations for mature, calm people to engage. They are all of a piece, though they appear to be independent issues. It's possible to flip a combat zone into a solution zone. I know that sounds like a motivational poster.

David Reingold is a small man, figuratively and literally. He left a trail of destruction at Purdue and apparently is the hatchet man for the IU administration as well.

Oh, and of course all president felon can think of is to dump MORE sh!% on the citizens of this country. Well, he's already doing that. That's why we protested.

Yeah, I was in the thick of that supposedly "fake" protest. The estimate I heard was about 4000 people who don't want a king.

Hooray for the Exponent (a great source of news for this area) supporting the freedom of the IU press! What a great collaboration. So IU didn't want their homecoming alumn$ to see any possibly negative news, eh? Instead, their heavy hand made sure that MORE alumni knew about their censorship. Good.

A friend shared a screenshot telling of the Exponent assistance to the IU paper last night. Today he was told it was "fake news"

That's similar today to all the posts on the internet claiming the crowd photos from the No Kings rallies around the country were fake news- AI generated.

Many saying the photos are fake because the leaves on the trees are green and it's late October. lol

That's funny how many people were complaining that the streets around downtown Lafayette were blocked off for the useless protest. They were so inconvenienced for the two hours and taxpayers shouldn't be paying for the police presence, etc. I guess those same citizens were not aware of Fed government leaders shutting down interstate 5 yesterday between San Diego and LA for 6 hours for some Marine celebration. That is the only route that 10's of thousands can use each day to travel that stretch. I just caught the headline so I asked a family member who lives there and yes, it was true. Each missile being fired costs about a million each.

Cool video of the band at Tapawingo Park.
