Simple information about what the SAVE Act would actually do to American voters. Tens of millions would lose their right to vote unless they spend lots of $$$ and jump through bureaucratic hoops before November.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair. Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority. We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

The reason I talk so much about Democrats in rural America is because it’s key to taking the country back. We can’t wring many more blue votes out of the cities. Come back to rural spaces. Run for office. Contest every race. This is the way.

For awhile now my team and I have come to the conclusion that I have the Mike Wozowski (Monsters Inc.) photo curse. I think this picture taken at the Martinsville, IN No Kings event is my pinnacle Mike Wozowski moment. Look for the sunflower. That is me. 🌻🤣

At our No Kings protest in Martinsville, IN, we had a lobster and a woman whose red, white, and blue inspired outfit sported a red lobster. They became fast friends. This is what can happen when you exercise your right to free speech. No Kings Since 1776!

Friends, do not sit down if violence breaks out at a protest. Sitting down will put you in danger of being beaten and make you an easy target. Turn and walk back the way you came. I wouldn’t have even mentioned this, but “Occupy Democrats” has millions of followers 👇🏻

I have yet to see a single bill from the Republicans at the federal or state (IN) level that truly champions people. But I see a lot of bills that enslave constituents to their corporate donors. #FightOligarchy

They will lie, bullshit, and distract, so it's very important for all of us to say what we see with our own eyes. The fascist Co-President threw a defiant Nazi salute on inauguraton day.

Media reports say San Antonio could be one of the cities targeted by Trump's immigration raids this week. No matter what, we know that: 1) You have basic rights (listed below). 2) Trump will say he's going after criminals. He's a liar. Texans need to look out for each other.

🚨 The Senate is expected to vote tomorrow morning on one of the most dangerous immigration bills in recent history. The Laken Riley Act wouldn’t protect anyone. What it would do is create chaos that could impact millions.
The Laken Riley Act would imprison immigrants indefinitely without due process

Accused of a minor offense, like shoplifting? Not convicted -- just accused? You're detained indefinitely. No bail. No trial. No justice. Even if charges are dropped, or you're proven innocent, you stay locked up. That's not safety. That's state-sanctioned cruelty.The Laken Riley Act would target Dreamers and legal immigrants

Dreamers who grew up here, went to school here, and are part of our communities? Detained. Refugees fleeing violence? Detained. Even legal immigrants caught in bureaucratic limbo are swept up in this nightmare. This bill punishes everyone.The Laken Riley Act would hand MAGA extremists federal power

This bill gives people like Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton the ability to hijack federal immigration policy. He could demand federal judges lock up asylum seekers en masse or block visas for doctors, engineers, or students from entire countries. Imagine one MAGA state deciding who can live and work in the United States. That's what this bill allows.The Laken Riley Act would gut legal Immigration

By letting courts impose blanket visa bans on entire countries, this bill risks shutting down legal immigration altogether. Skilled workers, students, and even families trying to reunite would be turned away -- not because of anything they've done, but because MAGA needs a scapegoat.

What dystopian hellscape have we jumped to when we celebrate a billionaire's birthday while a greater population than the entire state of Indiana is under threat and destruction by fire as climate change deniers come out of the woodwork, most likely because they no longer believe in education? 1/2

Here in Indiana we had a snow day. And it was wonderful for it to be a legit no-school snow day. So many folks are “done” with e-learning because of a mishandled pandemic on the anniversary of the Insurrection…waiting for a felon’s inauguration so a rapist can once again be in the White House. :(

So, please don’t attack this guy, who is correct in his statement: the ACA does in fact have a medical loss ratio provision, and it came into force in 2012. I want to use this as a jumping off point for two very related things.

I’m reading from NY Times that Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from AG consideration. After resigning his position from Congress (which effectively silenced the sexual misconduct report), I predict he will go into hiding for a year and reemerge ready to engage with a "clean slate". Watch this space.

I ran for political office this year. What I learned: Folks want to be heard. Too many of us are struggling to pay regular bills. Too many simply do not understand basic civics. Info is overwhelming - too much too fast. We have a propaganda problem that is destroying us. Money won. People lost.
