“When’s the next nationwide protest?” You might be asking yourself.

Here’s a big one that’s happening in less than a month!

Jan 20th. Free America Walkout. Women’s March, 50501, & More. Be There.

Speaking as a former indie game dev, I will 100% agree that, if at any point the Expedition 33 devs used generative AI to cut corners, they deserve to lose their accolades and awards.

Art is about exploring and expressing human experiences, not letting some algorithm cut corners for you.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

Regulating AI didn't make it to my top 6 issues for my campaign, but be assured that I intend to do everything I can to regulate the everloving hell out of AI here in Indiana.

It starts with legislating these data centers out of the state and crippling AI capacity.
"And I never say no"

We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.

We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

I say his gently, but…

There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry.

Not because its government doesn’t fix it —

but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost.

That’s the part that sits wrong.

A little Starbucks Christmas carol from our picket line!

We're still on ULP strike, and we're still asking customers to NOT BUY STARBUCKS (gift cards included!) until 100s of unfair labor practices are resolved.

For Christmas this year, I bring all Hoosiers the promise that I'll do everything I can to combat the evils of the Republican agenda in the Indiana House of Representatives, to increase wages, make housing affordable, hold the state accountable and fight for trans rights.

Happy holidays Indiana!
