Theodore's only enemy is the thing between his nose and his chin.

🧵Thread: What the hell just happened in Indiana’s legislature — a quick recap: “This feels like an arbitrary timeline. These are issues that deserve real discussion and careful thought.”— @senatorhunley.bsky.social, SB 442 Conference Committee She was right. And then it got worse. #INLegis

Y'ALL DID THAT! 👏👏👏 Thanks to your quick action, our message to Sen. Byrne was received loud and clear! Consent MUST be a part of sex education, and you all have made that happen.

This language has been killed twice already this session, but it's back again. This time, they added it in after the committee already met, behind closed doors. Contact your State Rep immediately - find them at madvoters.org/contact-your-legislator - and tell them NO CRIMINALIZING HOMELESSNESS.

Take a second because our libraries matter! action.everylibrary.org/saveimls2025

Across the state, Hoosiers were showing up! #Hoosier #indiana #bluesier #March

A couple of books I've read and some on my TBR. #books #booktok #reading

Use your voice. Make calls. Maybe you'll ger someone after hours. 😅😄

I can only guess Muskrat & his trolls deleted all the pics of actual libraries. 🤦‍♀️ #libraries #books #supportlibraries

@booker.senate.gov is filibustering right now. And I do mean a real honest to God filibuster. He talks until he can’t stand. We wanted doing the work making noise and fighting back, we got it! He is live on IG and YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2ut... talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-...

Earlier today, House Republicans passed a bill to permit partisan school boards, despite widespread opposition. Hold your Rep accountable for their vote if they voted Yes. This bill will make school boards a lightning rod for even more culture war divisiveness. Learn more at MADVoters.org.

Trans futures depend on the right to access health care, to safely take up space, and to be recognized as one's most authentic self. 🎨: @genderlib.com (1/2)

ACLU sues after state stops updating gender markers on birth certificates.

The announcement has sparked outrage from critics, accusing Trump of taking action to “remove diversity” from American history.

What ste we waiting for? Bring on the calls, emails, ans rallies!

Believe me, the IN GOP supermajority doesn't care nor will they willingly use the surplus. They cut Dolly Parton's Imagination Library for goodness sake! #hoosiers #indiana #bluesiers

85 health care providers from Kentucky have issued a powerful plea to Gov. Andy Beshear, urging him to veto HB 90, a dangerous piece of legislation that threatens patient safety, medical autonomy, and access to essential reproductive care. #KYGA25 (1/3)

I made 8 calls today with 5 calls. It's pretty easy to use. The hardest part is not cussing out my legislators for the entire call. 5calls.org

Take action now by telling Rep. Brad Barrett's Public Health Committee to oppose SB 2: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

🩸 Making period products tax-free would relieve Hoosiers of an unfair economic burden and acknowledge PPs as the medical necessities they are. Contact the state senators listed in the graphic and urge them to support tax-free period products in the budget (HB 1001).

Contact Rep. Jeter's (317-232-9769) House Judiciary committee and urge them to oppose SB 289: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

Reuters found that the Trump administration deported 37,660 people in its first month, around 20,000 fewer than Biden's average monthly removals.

In most excellent news

Am I surprised Braun, Beckwith & the GOP are taking booms away from Hoosiers? Nope. Sign up. Make noise. Tell Braun & the GOP to fund the program. Don't pass the buck to Braun's wife. www.yahoo.com/news/dolly-p...

Listen to the IN GOP justify rolling back child labor laws. They don't care about anything besides a bottom line.

It feels like a daily occurrence I see Indiana's AG do something that results in me saying, "The fuck, Theodore?!?"

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita seeks dismissal of latest disciplinary commission charges.

LEAP spending nears $1B with projected budget shielded, investigation finds

Well look at that. Dreams do come true. More please 🥰

This is worth celebrating! Some of the bad bills that would have rolled back voting rights, restricted reproductive freedom, dictated personal choices, and implemented Project 2025-style policies here in Indiana are dead this legislative session.

You vote to confirm RFK Jr., the king of anti-vax conspiracies, but then lose your mind when your state stops promoting vaccines? You can’t have it both ways. Cutting school vaccine programs hurts parents, kids, & public health. Pick a side. #VaccinesSaveLives

Elon Musk’s ‘efficiency’ plan isn’t about cutting waste—it’s about cutting oversight and handing government jobs to private companies (many of them his own) at a premium. Less accountability, higher costs, and a whole lot of corporate welfare. #Doge

If people are dumb enough to get anything “invent by Elon” implanted in their brain DO NOT STOP THEM. Cyber truck of the cranium

BRENNAN: Vance was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide & he met w/head of a party w/far-right views RUBIO: I have to disagree. The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime. There was no free speech in Nazi Germany. There was also no opposition

Doing great 👍

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

NEW: The loophole allows buyers of tax-subsidized low-income housing to raise rents on new and existing tenants far sooner than the law typically requires. Some 115,000 apartments in the U.S. have lost rent restrictions as a result, per one estimate.
