For #ThickTrunkTuesday here is the tree growing from the courthouse tower in Greensburg, #Indiana
It has been there since the 1870s, apparently.

Police snipers made an appearance today atop the Indiana Memorial Union on Indiana University's campus.
Students on IU's campus have setup a Liberation Zone protest and demand their university divest from Israel inline with BDS. They also make specific mention of a local miltary partnership with Crane Naval Base which has a key roll in supplying large munitions to Israel.

#Indiana #Republican Gov #MikeBraun called Monday for state lawmakers to return to Indianapolis for an emergency session to redraw the state’s congressional map.
#Trump has pressured Republican governors nationwide to draw new maps so the #GOP can keep control of the #House in the #midterms. While #Republicans in #Texas, #Missouri & #NorthCarolina moved quickly to obey their #DearLeader, Indiana lawmakers have been more hesitant.

Meanwhile, Chicago State University,an HBCU 2+ hours away,is about to explode in enrollment as a result of Purdue kissing up to Trump.

I spotted this place in Dyer near State Line Road and 109th so I had to get a dollar slice from the mastodon. It was tasty!
Watching the Gary Airshow from Marquette Beach is always a highlight of summer.
Extra South Shore trains are running to the Chicago Pride Parade on Sunday.

I wrote to my senators over two months ago strongly advocating for due process for all. If we don't have due process, we don't really have rights; the government can just disappear anybody at any time.
I finally heard back from Senator Jim Banks. He did not address any of the points I made, or even the topic of due process and civil rights. Instead he sent a 6800-word screed vilifying immigrants and thanking Trump for securing the border. He finished by naming Renee Goode and Alex Pretty and blaming their deaths on activists:
"... sustained vilification of ICE agents and federal officers creates a dangerous environment. When elected officials and activists portray law enforcement as the enemy, it undermines public safety and puts officers and civilians at risk."
We need elected officials who support civil rights and democracy.
Write your senators and representatives and be sure to VOTE in November.
Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black.
Tens of thousands of people have been without power for nearly two weeks.
Many are without safe water as well.
Yet every data center is up and running.
Using enormous amounts of both power and water to enrich the billionaire owners.
This is what oligarchy looks like.
Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

I'm not in Bloomington, so everything is from what I've been seeing online. I have no first hand knowledge.
There are reports ICE is running amok in the city.
