Students at Indiana’s public universities can currently vote with their school IDs. But a new Republican voter ID bill would ban their use, making voting much tougher for students. boltsmag.org/indiana...

Essentially ALL TB programs funded by the U.S. Government were officially terminated last night. Horrifyingly, that includes the Global Drug Facility that coordinates the vast majority of TB treatment and tests purchased globally. Shuttering the GDF will stop TB treatment for the entire planet....

Yesterday a student was in my office getting help with a draft when two professors started talking in the hallway outside. One mentioned he was was going to do a pop quiz the next day. She is in his class and now has intel. The moral of the story is: Go to office hours!

Very sad about the Gene Hackman news, as a lover of Hoosiers for decades (and other films). Bet it was a gas leak.

BREAKING: Acting Social Security administrator Dudek has just abolished SSA’s CREO department and put all employees on leave. That’s SSA’s statutory civil rights and equal opportunity division. Developing story.

Another old diary. You’re a wheat farmer somewhere near Brockport, NY. It’s 1867. The Civil War ended two years ago. Ennui is timeless.

I'm looking to see if the cuts & chaos at CDC and NIH have affected any clinical trials or research for drugs for the treatment of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or other serious diseases. If you know anything, please contact me at DavidCorn.99 at Signal. Or if you have any other good stories.

I am sorry but Charles Brockden Brown is hilarious. Oh! Let me have a dude run into a house, yell at a woman for 5 paragraphs while being wrong, and immediately run back out of the house before she can speak. Oh! My character is sad. Reading dad’s diary will cheer her up!!

Arrests have a cost yall: - time in jail - bail - dealing with lawyers / courts - no contact orders - employment - travel restrictions Civil disobedience with the intention of provoking arrest has a time and a place. It's best done as part of a widespread, dedicated campaign supported by normies.

Re-sharing – now without the editorializing! “On Friday, Penn notified department chairs that it will cut admissions across graduate programs, a decision faculty members say was made after programs had already accepted students.”

The only reason to pointedly humiliate a group of people in this way is to make their lives more painful and difficult and, accordingly, to make them feel both vulnerable and disdained. It is the sort of cruelty we should expect from this administration, and it is fucking unacceptable.

Again I'm gonna need someone to explain to me why we need to pay federal taxes anymore. And if it's because of previous norms or laws (or whatever we used to pretend mattered that no longer does) I think we're wayyyy past that

We have strict taxpayer data protection laws for a reason. No executive orders or billionaires are above those laws. And this situation could delay tax refunds—devastating millions of Americans who plan their budgets around timely refunds.

Honestly, this is an insane thing for a major political party to be running with. It’s mad. It’s by mad people for mad people.

Had a student ask me point blank if I was worried some of the books I’m teaching will be banned. This was at 8:14 AM.
