Red River Gorge Spring 2021 trip in the books. Hiked almost 8 tough miles on Friday to our camp site on a sandstone ridge. Made it back to our cars before the rain hit Saturday. Then did a 2 mile rain hike to Silver Mine Arch before heading back home

Thank you. My son is gay. He came out at 12 with a note taped to our microwave.He is loved and supported. I got a chance to speak at a school board meeting on the issue. I closed my speech by saying“there is nothing wrong with him”. I love your videos, but this is my favorite

First kid starts his journey at Purdue Indy today. I have confirmation he is on campus…two hours early 😊 He’s majoring in Electrical Engineering. I’ve taught him all the ways I did college wrong so he should be very prepared to do it right 😊
My reply to the board members of
@FishersIN
and
@NoblesvilleIN
seeking to remove my books (and over a hundred others) from the young adult literature shelves in their libraries. Heartbreaking for this to happen in Central Indiana, where I live and strive to support.
He is exactly right. This is the reason we don’t hear from our local GOP leaders denouncing the divisive politics of groups like Moms 4 Liberty, Purple 4 Parents, and Fishers 1. They need their votes to win.
Last week I had the opportunity to discuss vaccine mandates with
@WSBT
while I was in the Michiana area. It is important that Hoosiers individual liberties are protected in this debate about vaccine mandates.
This was posted anonymously by a teacher in HSEqual. This isn’t the first post like this I’ve seen. This is why I have remained engaged on what’s happening on our school board. This is exactly what I was afraid of after the last election.

@realDonaldTrump
My teenage son just asked me if trump was the worst president in our history. I said yes. He asked if he was worse than Andrew Jackson. I said yeah, Jackson was at least an effective leader and politician.

It’s not “all masks all the time.” It’s masks when you go buy groceries or go to the bank, or any enclosed space. Respect the people that are working everyday to be open. Obviously you can’t wear a mask and eat or drink. Quit making this harder than it needs to be
It appears that
@GlowplugvRay
is no longer on the HEPL board. This is good. Now go check out this man’s twitter feed and ask yourself if the people who appointed him showed good judgement. Then don’t vote for people who would appoint a person like Ray to a public library board
@mercado
@BrentTerhune
I appreciate that. It’s so strange to be lauded for doing something that I didn’t choose to do.Of course I love my son. Several kids at that school board meeting came up to me afterwards and thanked me for loving my son. It truly broke my heart. It also opened my eyes to the pain

How is appointing a Supreme Court Justice an “accomplishment?” It’s like being given the all the answers to the test and then throwing a party when you pass. Your party is a joke. Enjoy the long winter
Because she won’t denounce the group. Because that group is negatively affecting our school and library boards. Because silence towards these groups is complicity. Finkam’s inability to
call out M4L demonstrates she lacks the leadership Carmel deserves.
Any other questions?
Miles shows the people of Carmel that he is not prepared for leadership.
Instead of addressing Carmel's future at length, instead of establishing a better vision for Carmel,

I will not vote for any elected official or anyone seeking election that aligns themselves with this group of extremists. Teachers and library staff are not groomers and deserve our respect.
The best way to begin to heal the divisions in our community, is to elect people like Howard Stevenson and Jocelyn Vare. We need a balanced government now more that ever
This Fishers One post falsely implies that conservatives have a monopoly on faith, patriotism, and families. I’ve been a Superintendent of Sunday School for over 20 years. I love our country. I’ve been married for 34 years & we have 3 sons (college graduates)

How did invading Iraq, which is where the vast majority of these casualties happened, make us safer? I supported that invasion at the time and I was wrong. It’s important to learn from mistakes
This is a clip of Ray Maddalone saying if the HEPL Library Director can’t implement the policy faster, she can be replaced. This was at a PUBLIC meeting on 5/25/23. In the video, you’ll see Ray and another trustee discussing his expectations.
@SebGorka
Portraying him as senile, frail, and dementia addled was a really dumb strategy. He obviously isn’t and y’all lowered the bar so much if he just walks unaided he looks good. You guys are just so bad at this

Big changes ahead for our city. Glad our city has the opportunity to vote for these two….and only these two 😊
How did 6 Republicans look at this guy and think, “yes, he’s a good candidate for a public library board.”His views represent a fringe extreme minority.
Shouldn’t people on this board actually have experience with the library and how it operates?
Micah Beckwith said in a Facebook video second graders were being taught “gay ” and “oral" sex, but did not provide specifics. Now he's on the board of the Hamilton East Public Library.

Damn straight. I was coaching rugby at the time. You know I wore my coaching uniform into that school board meeting. They were trying to strip out non-discrimination language that mentioned LGBTQ kids among others. We flipped two votes and won 5-2
GOP in fishers doesn’t realize how pathetic ads like this make them look. I guess when you don’t have anything positive to say about yourself, make up something negative about your opponent 🤷🏼♂️

I am not a Democrat. I have never registered with either party. I used to support Libertarians. I vote on policies and, most importantly, character. Instead of telling us why we should vote for their candidates, the GOP chooses to attack people like Howard.
The GOP is flat out lying about me in another negative mailer. I’ve never supported defunding the police. Without grandstanding, I’ve privately worked with the Mayor & Fishers Police Chief on police matters to help make our community better for everyone. Vote

This is exactly why I stopped voting for Republicans in the late 2000’s. It was apparent that they aren’t fiscally conservative. If both parties are going to spend money, I’ll vote for the party that wants to spend money on health care and child care

As a Judge, I am appalled by the Left’s attacks on the integrity of our justice system. It is no coincidence that on the same day we learned about the $5 million Hunter Biden bribery scheme, charges against President Trump were released. (1/6)
After 2016, I started voting straight Dem for state and federal elections. I felt it was the only way to send a message. After seeing what the has happened on our school and library boards, I am doing this in local elections also.

Hearing of more people who received this text last night with an opt out purporting to be from Hamilton County Republicans. The GOP county chairman isn’t responding to follow-up questions, like providing the name of the private investigator he says he hired to find the source.
This is why I tweet about trans issues. Trans people exist. They deserve to live their lives just like every other person. It’s disgusting the way the MAGA GOP is using Trans people to push their culture war. Trans people aren’t dangerous. They are our fellow Americans
These headlines are two days apart.
On Wednesday, a pastor and mayor in Alabama was outed for secretly dressing in drag. The condemnation was swift and severe.

Alright folks here’s the latest. HamCO GOP Chair Mario Massillamany tells me they registered with that name but that they don’t use it in flyers, mailers, on their website, etc. Also said he hired a PI to track down the number but that it’s “untraceable”

I don’t understand how a person who would post something this vile on social media could be appointed to a leadership position in our community.
I wouldn’t hire him to work at my lab if saw this post while vetting his social media.
This sheds some light on why Ray Maddalone, HEPL Board Member, so desperately wants certain books moved. And this is tame compared to some of his other Twitter/X gems.
