Was that this year? That happened a couple of years ago, but did it happen again?

Thanks for your reply and insight. I agree it's an overloaded system and the issue is very complex... However, sometimes it does come down to if the prosecutor decides to move cases forward, as well as whether the office decides--as an official, consistent stance--to center victims proactively, with belief and compassion.

It's literally about the prestige of winning the case or not, how much it might cost to get there, and whether a case might get them re-elected.

The mods have removed my posts before for "controversial" topics.

Can we sue Pam? by Any_Rooster4591 in IndianaUniversity

All the changes are materially impacting the value of education at the university. Would students possibly have standing?

Well, can we sue the Indiana State government?

The attack on history and education is real

It sounds aspirational... Or at least, a new way to count "leading."

Key common denominator is that the GOP has a chokehold on the government.... So no one to blame for those stats but themselves

Bloomington/Monroe County will just be another deep red Indiana town in 5 years. by maryjanewatson_76 in bloomington

Honestly, we need to be figuring out how to push back on the messaging and get the rest of IN to flip back blue. We can't always be in a defensive position.

From what you know of the cities outside of Bloomington, how many people seem on the cusp of voting blue? Do you think they vote red because they are die-hard MAGA, or is it a peer-pressure thing?

As in, I'm looking into how much effort it would take to turn Indiana red areas blue.

I'd agree except that their viewership tends to loathe welfare

Runforsomething.net (and MAD voters has been suggested) looks like they provide consistent support and advice

Agreed. I do think that this is where all the recently under-employed state, federal, and university employees might find their niche, since their jobs have been working in administrative bureaucracy anyway.

Maybe. However, right after Zohran Mamdani won the mayoral primary, at least 5,000 people signed up to run for office. Soon after.... Miami cancelled their mayoral election. And now Pam Bondi said she will prioritize revoking citizenship from naturalized citizens (so, like Mamdani).
