#IndyPedestrianSafetyCrisis
More info:
The bipartisan infrastructure bill gave DOTs a once in a generation opportunity to build the transportation system of the future; to move people safely, efficiently in cost-effective ways. Instead, we are getting more highways: more debt, pollution, injuries and deaths.
Imagine moving to Indiana right now. People with 4% or lower mortgage rates are pretty well anchored here at the moment but have to still in the back of their minds be thinking about what their "move to Michigan red line" is at this point.
Indiana should end the Blue Line. Indiana should not allow the continual attack on mobility and prevent bus-only lanes. Let Hoosiers travel the way they want, not the way some city government tells them to travel.
And Indiana should never give in to elected bullies who threaten

. I am pro-life and take no pleasure in reporting this.
I will say this over and over again forever. Uber and Lyft are software. Cities should develop their own version. Gift it to a worker cooperative. Ban Uber and Lyft from their city.
Uber and Lyft steal money out of your local economy and send it to the west coast.
In the run-up to the 2020 election, "gig work" companies, led by Uber and Lyft, firehosed $225m to back the passage of

She's not a terrible leader. She's excellent at executing her agenda.
The problem is that her agenda is terrible, and a scourge on progressive politics.
The whole internet loves hoodie senator. A big lovely senator that wears a hoodie.
*ten months later*
We regret to inform you that the senator is a bigot
Fetterman said, โI hope Democrats can understand that it isnโt xenophobic to be concerned about the border.โ
American border policy has always been driven by racism and xenophobia. The difference in border policy between parties has been small.
#UPDATE
: 7 juveniles were shot in this incident. All of them are stable. They range in age from 12-17. This is the 3rd mass shooting in Indianapolis in less than 3 weeks.
IVF is also the most effective way to preserve the fertility of someone that has to go through treatment for cancer. Insurance doesn't currently cover IVF for these cases and it's disgraceful that people have to ALSO learn this after being diagnosed.
Ohio GOP introduces bill to ban IVF, citing a fertilized egg as a human being. This absurd bill would literally turn IVF physiciansโwho help people start familiesโinto murderers. Meanwhile, no mention of mandated child support, tax benefits, or HOV privileges for pregnant women.

@ErinBurnett
Is CNN doing a separate story about U.S. athletes being silent on human rights issues in the U.S.?
Would love to tune in.
Christian Hall called 911 while undergoing a mental health crisis. The police came. While he had his hands up, they shot & killed him. DA's office blurred the video.
Now this all looms over an upcoming Pennsylvania DA race. Essential but tough read:
Has anybody checked on
@IndyMayorJoe
?
Does he know the state legislature is trying to take $251 million in Federal funding away from the city?
Does he care?

If the tables were turned and Mitch had the same opportunity to secure power, he would be threatening to expel Manchin from the party and vowing to support his primary challenger.
The fact that they have not already intervened is pathetic.
The ability to act to free people that the system has failed is one of the few real powers that this administration has, and they have been sitting on their hands since January.

Don't associate the actions of Israel and the IDF with Jewish people. There are Jewish people all over the world that are literally just minding their own business.

USPS has been self-sustained for a long time. That's not a DeJoy idea. Sabotaging that sustainability has been his idea.
