I used to have a Bluesky account under my real name. Now, due to recent events, I decided to move to an account named after a mad scientist from a TV show. Make of that what you will.

NEW: A former Ball State University staff member is suing the university president after she was fired for a private Facebook post about the death of Charlie Kirk. She is being represented by ACLU of Indiana @acluindiana.bsky.social. READ THE COMPLAINT: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
A tweet by Attorney General Todd Rokita, quote-posting a screenshot of Suzanne Swierc's Facebook post:

What a vile comment. So many hateful people are exposing themselves.
Now is the time to oppose political violence—not justify it.
Comments like these are outrageous and should make people question someone's ability to be in a leadership position.

The original Facebook post reads:
Let me be clear: if you think Charlie Kirk was a wonderful person, we can't be friends.
His death is a tragedy, and I can and do feel for his wife and children.
I believe in the Resurrection, and while it's difficult, I can and do pray for his soul.
Charlie Kirk's death is a reflection of the violence, fear, and hatred he sowed. It does not excuse his death, AND it's a sad truth.
The shooting is a tragedy, and I can and do feel for a college campus experiencing an active shooter situation.
The deaths of Melissa and Mark Hortman, the children shot and killed in Minneapolis last month, and the children shot in Colorado today are all tragedies that also deserve your attention.
Charlie Kirk excused the deaths of children in the name of the second amendment.A photo of the termination letter, filed as an exhibit with the complaint.

Dear Ms. Swierc:

I write with respect to your employement at Ball State University. As you know, on or about September 10, 2025, you posted a statement on social media related to the assassination of Mr. Charlie Kir,. You posted your message to more than 1,000 social-media followers, including other members of the Ball State community. Your post was re-shared, with the addition of your University job title and University photo. As of today, the re-shared post has been viewed over 3.2 million times.

Your post was also viewed by current Ball State students, many of whom have written to the University expressing their concerns, describing your conduct as inappropriate and unprofessional. The University also received communications from prospective students and their families, again, expressing concern about your conduct and indicating a concern about attending the University. The University also fielded a deluge of other complaints and inquiries from media and multiple external entities.
Dr. Ro-Anne Royer Engle, Vice President for Student Affairs, has reviewed the information related to this matter, including the distinctive nature and trust involved in your student-serving leadership position in the Division of Student Affairs, the instructions she has consistently given to senior staff members in Student Affairs about the care and caution that is necessary when making statements on social media, and the immediate negative and substantially disruptive impact of your conduct on our students, employees, prospective students, and other constituents.
Dr. Royer Engle also considered the unprecedented level of disruption your post caused for the University and the Division of Student Affairs. In light of this information, as well as the information you were afforded an opportunity to provide to Employee Relations, Dr. Royer Engle has recommended that your employment with the University be terminat…

Two stories about how Trump is harming farms today. First, ND's soybean exports to China (which are probably significantly being replaced by Brazil). Click thru for details on Scott Bessent's unaddressed conflict--he owns thousands of acres of ND land. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/b...
For the first time in the history of their 76-year-old operation, their biggest customer — China — had stopped buying soybeans. Their 2,300-acre soybean farm is projected to lose $400,000 in 2025. Soybeans that would normally be harvested and exported to Asia are now set to pile up in large steel bins.

Since President Trump imposed tariffs on Chinese goods in February, Beijing has retaliated by halting all purchases of American soybeans.

That decision has had devastating repercussions for farmers in North Dakota, which exported more than 70 percent of its soybeans to China before Trump unveiled the new tariffs this year. Unless China agrees to restart its purchases as part of a trade deal, farmers that depend on the Chinese market will be facing steep losses that could fuel farm bankruptcies and farm foreclosures around the United States.

Also Pennsyltuckey farmers who can't find farm workers thanks to Stephen Miller's terror campaign. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
In Tioga County, where President Donald Trump won 75 percent of the vote in 2024, farmers are losing patience with the White House’s promise of a quick solution for farm workers. Their urgent need is highlighted by stories like those of a multigenerational dairy farm that sold off all its dairy cows because the owner could not find workers and another where a farmer’s job listings have received no responses.

Farmers in the rural region near the New York border say those stories are not unique.

“The whole thing is screwed up,” said John Painter, a three-time Trump voter who runs an organic dairy farm in Westfield. “We need people to do the jobs Americans are too spoiled to do.”

These are the voices Thompson and other farm-state lawmakers are hearing as they discuss potential solutions. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins’ assurances that American workers and machines can help close the gap ring hollow among farmers who have become reliant on migrant labor that is increasingly hard to find in the face of Trump’s immigration crackdown.
