Hey American urbanists - what do you think of Indianapolis? I’m finishing up a video and I want to hear about what people’s “starting place” is when they think about the city.

👋 Some big news to share: Since 2017, our community of volunteers has worked together to increase voter turnout and protect democracy. Now, Vote Forward is evolving!

On January 6, Andy Kim got on his hands and knees to help sweep up broken glass in the Capital. Thats the kind of human he is. This attack on him by ICE is disgusting - but not surprising. They are thugs operating outside of the law and the constitution. We will get justice when this admin ends.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Selling out our kids future and for what?!

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

Tomorrow is Bike to Work Day! Get more info about Bike to Work Day, the best route to ride, or how to pair with another rider from your neighborhood by emailing [email protected]. We hope to see you out tomorrow morning!

Disgusting.

Go vote, Ohio!

This is the bizarro world the Supreme Court has created with its latest voting rights decision. Thank you Jon Stewart and & @thedailyshow.com You can watch my entire conversation with Jon here: youtu.be/SCse1FFEKLM

Tasha’s on Apex 1 Radio right now talking about her campaign for Ohio Senate in District 3: apex1radio.com

Family canvass time! Happy GOTV Sunday, Ohio!

I am unspeakably angry about this turnout gap figure, and it gives insight into the whole ballgame for gutting the VRA. Alito points out that Black turnout exceeded White turnout twice in 5 elections. The argument is garbage 1/x

Justice Kagan: "I dissent. The Voting Rights Act is—or, now more accurately, was—'one of the most consequential, efficacious, and amply justified exercises of federal legislative power in our Nation's history.'

In 2029, when a Democratic trifecta is in place, the very first piece of legislation must be a new voting rights act with national redistricting reform that ends gerrymandering. The second should be reform of the Supreme Court.

Natasha’s not back out to talk to voters again!

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

I got to vote for my favorite human today!

This. Let’s pass a ban on partisan gerrymandering nationally. But Republicans don’t want that. They want to gerrymander red states and have fair districts in blue states. Too bad. The voters are fighting back.

Columbus, why can’t we have nice things?

It’s a beautiful day to stand with our neighbors and say #NoKings!

Another fun family canvassing day talking to our neighbors about why their mom, @natashaforohio.bsky.social, will be an amazing State Senator! Get involved to help us flip this seat: natashaforohio.com

The battle for Columbus's worst bus stop begins! It's the Ditch of Despair (State Rte 161 & Ambleside Dr) vs. Stinkin on Lincoln (Sinclair Rd & Lincoln Ave). Cast your vote in the comments or quote post!

Big news everyone: I am running for Ohio State Senate in District 3! It may seem like a crazy thing to do with three kids, but I don’t have time to wait around. Please follow my campaign on social media, share my message, contribute, and volunteer. See my bio for links.

I’m desperate for Columbus to have train service. I’m so tired of delayed flights and unaccountable airlines. They need tougher regulations and real competition. My colleagues who live in Philly and New York got to take the Acela while I’m spending 6 hours at DCA.

These words demand attention. “In a real sense this is holy ground, consecrated by blood spilled here. The cost is high, and so I had to be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurled… I think we’re at a defining moment for our country…” ~ Rev Warnock Take a moment, so much more…

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

👇👇👇👇

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed. The next could be you. What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones. This is personal — to every one of us.

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

They shot Renee Good in the face. They kidnapped Liam Ramos. They just executed a man on the street. Unmask them. Prosecute them. No more secret police.

Incredibly moving scenes out of Minneapolis today. Time and time again this past year communities have stood together and resisted. Solidarity with everyone. I still believe in my heart all this effort will not be in vain and we build a better world from this.

Hugely impressed to see a big march down Parsons Avenue just now in solidarity with the people of Minneapolis. So grateful to everyone willing to brave the -3 degree wind chill to fight back against ICE.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

Minnesotans want safety. They want freedom. They want what’s best for our kids. Masked agents snatching preschoolers off the street and sending them to Texas detention centers serves none of those purposes. This campaign of retribution has got to stop. www.startribune.com/preschooler-...

I’ve never liked the concept of hell, but then I saw masked men kidnaping kids to use them to lure their parents, all to send them and their families into harms way.

Special Counsel Jack Smith in his Opening Remarks:

The budget deal in Congress will give ICE another $10 BILLION. Absolutely not. ICE is out of control. We must stop this rogue agency’s dangerous abuses of power, not bankroll it.
