Indy adopted #CompleteStreets + #VisionZero. Not buzzwords—commitments.
Protected bike lanes work. They’re ADA compliant. Cities prove it daily.
Since MK lanes were scrapped last fall, I’ve been waiting for this. Time to act like a city that keeps its word.

🧈 Don’t get me wrong, the art was dope. But the Butter-wrapped @indygobus.bsky.social, the barricades, and a whole lane of 10th Street transformed into a pop-up park? That was the icing on the cake for me 💚

From the disgrace at Indy’s City-County Council on Monday to Trump’s ICE raids in LA, it’s clear: our civic institutions aren’t just cracking—they’re rotting from the inside.
But here’s the thing. Ten decent, pissed-off people will always outnumber one coward in office. And we’re paying attention.

A survivor of workplace abuse tried to finish her public statement. Instead of being heard, she was physically removed from the room. That should shake everyone.

If you claim to stand for women but stay silent now, you should reconsider whether you belong in public office at all. I’m deeply embarrassed for our city — and for Democrats, especially Democratic women. This is a moral failing of leadership.
