Shelby County Indiana Commissioners approve a data center ordinance. This is considered a win, as it makes it harder for data centers to do business in Shelby County.

A Progressive Political Platform - The Shelby Lighthouse

To be successful in the upcoming 2026 and 2028 elections, Democrats need to offer voters a bold, clear, and concise platform. Below, I've written an outline of what is important to me as a Progressive...

On April 6, 2026, at a town hall in Shelbyville, IN, hundreds of residents voiced opposition to the proposed Data Center. Despite these objections, our elected representatives voted in favor of annexing the land, starting the process of building a Data Center. We'll see'em in court & the ballot box

I am now published in the Shelbyville News. “Open letter in opposition to ICE detention facilities in Shelby County.” #AbolishICE #FuckICE #Progressive #Resistance www.shelbynews.com/opinion/an-open-…

$AN OPEN LETTER TO ELECTED OFFICIALS Editor’s Note: Miller clarified in a follow-up email that she is not aware of specific plans in Shelbyville or Shelby County for an ICE facility and wrote the letter to begin a dialogue within the community. Dear Shelby County Commissioners, City Council Members of Shelbyville, and Elected Representatives, I write to you on behalf of the residents, business owners, and community stakeholders of Shelby County and Shelbyville, to respectfully but firmly voice our opposition to any proposed construction, conversion, or expansion of immigration detention, processing, or enforcement facilities associated with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), or related federal agencies within our region. Our concerns are broad, serious, and rooted in the well-being of this community and its future. 1. Public Safety and Civil Rights Across the nation, enforcement practices by ICE and affiliated agencies have been widely criticized for violent and dangerous tactics that destabilize communities rather than protect them. Reports and investigative journalism have documented questionable use of force, racial profiling, and practices that erode trust between law enforcement and the public. Many of our neighbors—especially immigrants, children, and people of color—live with the fear that routine interactions might escalate into traumatic encounters with federal agents. Detention facilities house vulnerable individuals, including asylum seekers, families, and children. Credible reports from existing facilities nationwide describe poor living conditions—overcrowding, limited access to healthcare, insufficient sanitation, inadequate mental health support, and extended detention without timely legal recourse. These conditions contribute to anxiety, trauma, and long-term psychological harm. 2. Constitutional and Legal Concerns The expansion of immigration detention infrastructure raises questions about federal overreach and the encroachment of policies that many legal scholars and civil liberties organizations argue compromise fundamental rights. Detention without just cause or fair process challenges the core principles of due process guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. We believe Shelby County and Shelbyville should be cautionary about hosting facilities tied to systemic practices that many view as incompatible with civil liberties and humane treatment. 3. Social and Psychological Harm The presence of detention centers inflicts trauma not only on those detained but on families and communities. Children of detained or deported parents suffer destabilization, educational disruption, and emotional distress. Local schools, health providers, and social services in communities near detention facilities often absorb these impacts without sufficient resources, worsening inequality. We do not want our county to be associated with an environment that deepens social fractures and compounds trauma for children and families. 4. Strain on Local Infrastructure Bringing a detention facility to Shelby County or Shelbyville would place substantial demands on local infrastructure—water systems, sewer and waste management, electricity grids, roads, and emergency services. Small communities are already challenged to maintain and upgrade these systems for current residents. A large federal facility would shift burdens and costs to local taxpayers and could outpace our capacity to responsibly manage growth. 5. Economic and Property Value Impacts Studies and community experiences throughout the country show that large detention facilities can negatively affect property values in surrounding areas due to perceived safety issues, decreased desirability, and the stigma associated with incarceration sites. This could hinder residential investments, slow down economic growth, and diminish the appeal of Shelby County and Shelbyville as places to live, work, and raise families. 6. Community Character and Vision Shelbyville and Shelby County have long prided themselves on being welcoming, safe, and community-oriented. The siting of immigration enforcement and detention infrastructure runs counter to the inclusive identity we strive to cultivate. We believe our region’s future should focus on sustainable growth, quality of life, and strengthening community bonds—not on institutionalizing detention systems that divide and harm. Conclusion For the foregoing reasons—public safety concerns, constitutional rights, community health, economic impact, and infrastructure strain—we urge our elected officials and leaders to oppose any plans to construct or accommodate ICE, CBP, DHS, or similar detention and processing facilities in our area. We ask you to stand with the values of justice, fairness, and community well-being, and to prioritize investments that support positive development for all residents of Shelby County and Shelbyville. Thank you for your attention, and we invite continued community dialogue on this important issue. Respectfully, Cali Miller$

Earlier this year, I added local weather conditions, forecasts, alerts and a radar feed. I also launched a companion site, that aggregates local, state, and national news with associated YouTube and BlueSky accounts. shelbylight.house. I hope the next year brings even more exciting changes.

It’s been almost a year, since I installed the digital signage in the front window of my home, that would eventually become The @shelbylight.house. Over that time it has displayed progressive political and social commentary, along with public service announcements.

Working on upgrades for the @shelbylight.house. Soon, the digital signage will display timely weather info from the Shelbyville Airport, along with community announcements and the progressive social and political commentary that The Lighthouse is known for. Stay tuned.

Three screens, one displaying a dashboard with current weather conditions. The other screens show various text editor windows with coding to make the dashboard work.
