In case you had not heard, the new proposed redistricting "map" for #Indiana would divide #Indy into 👉FOUR👈 sections, putting part of it into the same district as Ohio river towns; others with teensy towns on the state's eastern border... (etc.). www.indystar.com/story/opinio...
I'm Indy's last GOP mayor. Redistricting hurts our city. | Opinion
"I've always believed in doing what's best for Indy, not what's politically convenient. This map fails that test," former Mayor Greg Ballard writes.

I applaud my veteran colleagues for standing by the Constitution and the rule of law. Trump’s call for the arrest and execution of elected officials who are simply upholding the law is a disgrace and should be condemned by every American.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Looking for a replacement and easy way to transfer your music?
Here’s one option:
Here’s one option:
Tidal is a great replacement option and you can use Tune My Music to transfer all your playlists and songs from Spotify in minutes. Fuck ICE.
Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire.
He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify.
If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.

Notably: every single rally (including in the small towns) was bigger than the surrounding police force available. That kind of image event is VERY IMPORTANT if you're, I dunno, demonstrating social coherence AGAINST a fascist government and it's makeshift gestapo.

Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."
