Congrats to #Indiana for winning the national championship by going 16-0, joining 1894 Yale and 2019 NDSU!!!
Really incredible how much the sport has changed for the better once a few judges (backed by SCOTUS) started actually enforcing laws against the NCAA. Now we just need is unionization and fixing the calendar...

#Trans Hoosiers need your help!
SB182 would permanently ban ALL transgender people in #Indiana from obtaining the safety and privacy of updated identification.
Instead of scapegoating innocent people, lawmakers should spend the limited time available in session this year on real issues like the affordability crisis.
Please take action - it only takes 30 seconds to let your lawmakers know you oppose this extreme measure: https://secure.ngpvan.com/AoFs40QqfUKYvXU-LWxCug2

Gov. Braun cuts funding to Martin University in 2025, citing his desire to rid the state of DEI.
Now, the university, Indiana's only predominantly black university, is closing.

The guard saved whoever was working in the back. We know they would have kidnapped whoever was making french fries, regardless of immigration status.
56 points for #Indiana. Wow. #PeachBowl
Good to see #Republicans push back against this gerrymandering insanity.
They should sue the President for trying to weaponize with holding of federal funds.

#EricHolcomb is a former two-term #Republican governor of #Indiana who just taught a seminar at #Harvard. He reports good experiences with faculty and students, and none of the horror stories his conservative friends warned him to expect. He even found that Harvard is doing useful medical research.

But he thinks this is a result of centrist backlash against extremism, pressure from the #Trump administration, or both.
"What I’ve experienced may be a natural return to Harvard’s more moderate bearings, following noisy displays of intolerance by campus agitators in recent years. Or it may be due to the Trump administration’s forceful executive orders and fiscal pressure. Either way (and it’s probably both), let’s take the win."

"Two Black women said they were denied immediate medical attention despite being minutes away from giving birth.
The incidents, which happened days apart in different states, highlight long-standing disparities in health outcomes for Black women, health experts say."
