"Trunk or Treat" sounds like a horror movie about 1980s stranger danger panic, not the suburban reaction to it.

When Indiana U's cowardly administrators shut down the student newspaper and fired its advisor, students from (big rival) Purdue published an edition with the disappeared material and distributed it on the IU campus.

Heartening resistance to gutless bullies.

Again a reminder that the Trump regime lies about everything. You should assume that anything coming from the liar-in-chief and his apparatchiks is bullshit.

They know what they're doing. They are working to make reality irrelevant, and impose their ugly fantasies on us.

This week's post is up!

I did a lot of manual labor jobs that most men in the US won't do. Back when I was a schoolgirl.

So let's talk about well-off people who talk about how much they respect manual labor... because talk is cheaper than paying people right.

9. So to recap, Trump does a stupid thing with the entirely predictable result of shifting wealth from US farmers to Brazilian and Argentinian farmers. He then did a second stupid thing that will have the predictable result of shifting wealth from US taxpayers to Argentinians.

Telecom companies are profiting from this crime. Are the authorities going after them? https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/europol-dismantles-sim-box-operation-renting-numbers-for-cybercrime/

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 Fscist 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.

If you couldn’t attend a No Kings event but want to do something to resist and help an ICE target… sign the petition for Rodney Taylor.

He’s a disabled double amputee who’s been held for months in ICE custody.

He was days away from receiving
new legs when he was taken.

He’s been placed in solitary confinement. Denied reasonable accommodations. Facing deportation to Liberia.

He’s been in the US since he was two years old:

"#Microsoft built a data centre in the northwestern Netherlands despite opposition from local farmers, promising it would only need between 12 and 20 million litres of water annually. Dutch media later revealed the data centre was consuming more than four times that — as locals were being asked to limit their own water use.

Decline of privately-funded science journalism in the age of Trump.
https://undark.org/2025/10/15/science-journalism-funders-trump/

"Science journalism has been fragile for many years now: Outlets like National Geographic and Wired have undergone layoffs. Others, like Sapiens, have shuttered. The environmental publication Hakai Magazine shut down last year when its funder, the Tula Foundation, withdrew its support to focus on research efforts, for example (the magazine has since joined forces with bioGraphic). A few years earlier, the U.K.’s Wellcome Trust pulled the plug on its long-form digital science magazine Mosaic."

6 years ago today students in Santiago, Chile blocked the rails and evaded fares to protest a 30 peso fare price increase. Little did they know that these protests would quickly evolve into a mass uprising that would shake the foundations of the Chilean state to it's very core.

We see this as one of many uprisings, part of a wave, that shook the world from 2019-2020. Power relations around the globe were called into question.

The uprising in Chile, aka the Estallido Social became the first topic we covered a documentary series we intend to make about this entire wave of global uprisings.

When you hear or read anything from Trump and his apparatchiks, you shouldn't merely suspect that it might not be true.

You should assume that it's a lie.
