As someone with a front row seat to data center development, it does feel like one day the job site will just be empty and we’ll just have these massive swaths of cleared land for zero reason. It does feel Ponzi-ish, like how long can we get away with this bullshit?

Data centers and AGI are probably just a Ponzi scheme. But if they're not, that's even worse news. Data Center Deep Dive Part Three: Dystopia Deep Dive just dropped. Watch the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b7t... then read the newsletter: www.jesseforindy.com/emailarchive...

Bullies and bigots never just pick on one minority group and leave everyone else alone. When political leaders cower and flinch, they fail all of us, not just the most at-risk. My latest constituent newsletter and video, Pride Was A Riot, just dropped. www.jesseforindy.com/emailarchive...

Got the formal tour of the Cincinnati Streetcar today with former mayor Mark Mallory and a small delegation from Indianapolis that included Councilors @nickroberts317.bsky.social and @jesseforindy.bsky.social!

When I say "Solidarity forever", that means solidarity with the working class - not with those who lick the boots of billionaires. I'm not voting for Beau Bayh, and the Democratic Party is heading towards defeat as long as they cater to donors. Read my latest, and tell me what you think!

Someone without a permit tears up city property, why is it almost impossible to even make the city respond much less hold someone accountable? These contractors and out of state property owners just run roughshod over everybody

Jesse when republicans are robbing us, why does @indydpw.bsky.social get to rob us, too? Developers illegally tore up this section of the basically brand new Pogues Run Trail, and have left it this way for at least 8 months. There are NO consequences!

Statehouse Republicans have starved Indianapolis of tax dollars for decades, and our roads are falling apart worse every year. Why don't we just tax the rich to pay for better roads? I explain why in this week's video and newsletter: www.jesseforindy.com/emailarchive...

Thanks to the Indy Star for publishing my op-ed this morning. "It ain't me, it ain't me ... I ain't no Senator's son!"

Data center developers and their politician sugar daddies are lying about so much! Their names, their plans, their environmental impacts, and even their business model! My second Data Center Deep Dive just dropped. Watch the video then read the newsletter! www.jesseforindy.com/emailarchive...

Sometimes I will grouse about the limitations of the omnicausal analysis (‘everything is about race’, ‘everything is about gender’, ‘everything is about sexuality’, etc.), and someone will respond that Marxism is the same way because it says ‘everything is about class’. Here’s what I say to that.

As a City Councilor, I get a lot of emails, DMs, and voicemails. Today's newsletter highlights the voice of a constituent who truly speaks for all of us when it comes to the frustrations of road construction around District 13 right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OINu...

It’s weird that Republicans and most of the media seem to have decided what Trump does on social media and what he says when he’s riffing in speeches just doesn’t count. None of it. Doesn’t count.

Good morning and happy Monday! Let's talk about ETHICS in government. Last month, the attorney representing neighbors in Martindale-Brightwood tried to file an ethics complaint against Councilor Ron Gibson.

The attack ads are starting early for the 2027 elections! Watch the first ad this cycle attacking a City County Councilor in Indianapolis below, then read my latest email: Jesse Brown is Dangerous (to the status quo) in the comments.

Can I just say publicly how angry I was to watch Thomas Cook - yes, THAT Thomas Cook - walking in to vote at the Boner Center today?

Mayor Hogsett and City Council appoint all the commission that approves the data centers City Council also can OVERRULE that commission if enough of them WANT to overrule them Some of our councilors and city officials are deceiving the people

TONIGHT: Indianapolis City-County Council will consider a resolution sponsored by @jesseforindy.bsky.social requesting a moratorium on data centers

Data Center moratorium coming up for a vote tomorrow at the Indy City Council. Plus: act now to Protect Martindale-Brightwood. My latest constituent video and email, Data Center Deep Dive pt 1, just dropped. Watch below and read the email in the comments.

In 1979, Mattel sold toy Battlestar Galactica fighter ships that fired a tiny spring-loaded "torpedo." One 4-year old choked on it, and the entire line of torpedo toys was recalled and never sold again.

There have been more mass shooters over the last 40 years than there have been non-citizens who have voted.

UPDATE: Victim in this incident is a 40-year-old male. He was struck while riding an e-bike and injured. Positive loss of consciousness. Medics transported him to Methodist. District 13: Jesse Brown, Councilor (@jesseforindy.bsky.social) #SafeStreetsIndy #Indianapolis #HoosierSky

BICYCLIST INCIDENT WITH INJURY 05/01/2026 05:03 PM E 16TH ST & N COLLEGE AVE District 13: Jesse Brown, Councilor (@jesseforindy.bsky.social) Details: https://indypedcrisis.info/nfFTDqZhQEa0x1NOwep8 #SafeStreetsIndy #Indianapolis #HoosierSky

The Hogsett administration changed their online platform from Teams to WebEx for the second online session. I wonder why? Now no one can see the names of other attendees to the meeting and no one can see live questions being typed out.

Last night, Councilor Crista Wells and I did what the Hogsett administration claimed they weren't able to: hosted an in-person session to watch and respond to the new Data Center special use zoning proposal. Thursday at the second session, I'll be there again and would love to have anyone join me!

Indianapolis politicians keep lying about data centers. It's enough to drive a man to drink! Watch the video, then click through in the comments to read my latest constituent newsletter, titled "Lies, lies, lies." www.youtube.com/watch?v=36uA...

We need councilors like Jesse in every district. Who walk the walk & talk the talk. #VisionZero matters & we want our electeds to take it seriously

Victory! Thanks to awesome resident leaders, we have a resident association and TWG has agreed to give tenants a seat at the table for us to keep working through problems together. Check out the video below, then read "Nothing About Us Without Us", my latest, in the comments.

Passed by the site where this occurred this morning and noticed something-it appears AES removed the 25mph speed limit sign when they were replacing utility poles. That means the last speed limit drivers see before they reach this location is 35mph. That speed was deadly yesterday.

We also need to ensure the 25mph speed limit sign is replaced no later than tomorrow. DPW has the manpower and resources to at least do that much. IMPD needs to step up the enforcement on the corridor and issue steep fines to violators.

I would urge @jesseforindy.bsky.social to push VZ administrator LeAndre Level to implement the SS4A project on this street no later than the end of April and ensure construction on the 10th and Rural intersection begins this summer. The families in our neighborhood demand safer streets.

CHILD STRUCK: Victim in this incident is a 8-year-old female. She was seriously injured. Medics transported her to Riley. She is currently listed in critical condition. District 13: Jesse Brown, Councilor (@jesseforindy.bsky.social) #SafeStreetsIndy #Indianapolis #HoosierSky

When disabled seniors are three days late paying their rent, they can be charged up to 10% fees for being late. But when their landlord racks up $40,000 in unpaid bills to their vendors, they don't pay an extra cent. Tenants are organizing to combat this injustice. Watch my latest!

Fighters continue to push to reform the Democratic Party. But for those who have been forced out, there's a new option outside of the two-party system. My latest constituent email, "More Options for the Working Class", just dropped. Link to the text in the comments!

We need all hands on deck to defeat fascism. Marion County Democratic Party leadership is pushing people out of the kitchen, instead of pulling up more chairs. This is foolish to the point of self-destruction. Watch my latest video below, then read the newsletter in the comments.

Friends and Constituents, Today I have a less-polished video than usual, to accompany the text of the speech I gave on Thursday opposing the Metrobloks data center being thrust upon Martindale-Brightwood. Watch the video on Youtube, then read the speech in the screenshots. youtu.be/NF6JZ78SMKE

Moderates are missing the moment and selling us out to the Epstein class. The people demand fighters. My latest constituent newsletter just dropped. Watch the video, then read the newsletter in the comments.

And yet losers like Ron Gibson blocked @jesseforindy.bsky.social's city county council proposal. Get in line or get out of the way!

Introduced by Councilor @jesseforindy.bsky.social at last night’s Indy Council Meeting- proposals that will at long last lower the speed limit to 25mph across the entire Near Eastside (areas marked with green X’s). Huge step as we work to implement safer designs across the neighborhood.

What's the Venn diagram look like between Beau Bayh's donors and the Epstein list at this point?

No family should have to choose between keeping a roof over their heads and risking being kidnapped by ICE. Evict ICE, not us.

TWG has enough money to give Mike Braun and Joe Hogsett tens of thousands of dollars in campaign donations - but not enough to provide security? Holding Developers Accountable, my latest newsletter, just dropped! Watch the video and read the link in the comments.

PRESS RELEASE: Councilor Jesse Brown calls for the Abolition of ICE, the Cancellation of Contracts, and Rally to Resist Fascism.
