I'm a believer that the process of policy (bills and executive orders alike) should be slower, more deliberate and that policy authors should be more publicly accountable. These policies affect millions of people, it's the least we can do to take our time and get it right.

I'm extremely positive that Indianapolis and Bloomington, Indiana's most progressive and diverse cities, are not only about to become the next ICE battlefields because of this bill, but might even be worse than Minneapolis.

I'm being targeted for harassment by having my job stability threatened. Whatever the reason, I won't stop my political and activist work.

I was at the ICE Out rally at Bloomington City Hall today, that was organized by Bloomington DSA! So proud to see so many of my city show up to protest the city's contract with Flock, and just as proud of my DSA comrades!

As a former Texan who still cries from missing my home...

Good. I hope every single miserable, piece of garbage Republican from every state is beside themselves with panic and fear. It's time you started losing everything you've taken from the good people of this country.
Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.

Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.

With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.

Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

At the ACLU's LGBTQ Day at the Statehouse today, I met a young trans girl whose mother I've previously testified alongside in opposition to anti trans legislation. This young lady has a smile as bright and brilliant as the sun, and I promised her I'll fight to protect that smile.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The Indiana state legislature is pushing a bill that will formally write trans people out of legal existence. This is genuinely dire. Please make time to go to the Indian Statehouse Wednesday, January 21 and speak against SB182.
