MADVoters’ online tool at MADVoters.org/no-cheaters will guide you through calling or emailing statehouse officials to tell them, “No cheating in democracy!”

Help us stand up to this destructive & costly attack on democracy, and oppose MAGA’s early redistricting plot.

🗓️ Thursday, August 7
📍 Indiana Statehouse
⏰ Come early and stay loud — Vance’s team won’t confirm the time.

We already live under rigged lines. We’re not letting them take more.

I’ll be at the Statehouse on Thursday with @madvoters.bsky.social to say:

❌ NO early redistricting
❌ NO special session
❌ NO more gerrymandering

Redistricting isn’t due until 2030.
But MAGA Republicans are pushing for a special session to redraw the maps early — behind closed doors — to silence voters and lock in permanent power.

Indiana already has a 🔴 supermajority. They want more.
They want to rig the rules before we even play. #INLegis

🚨 Indiana already has some of the most gerrymandered maps in the country.
Now JD Vance is flying into Indy on Thursday, 8/7, to meet with Gov. Mike Braun about redrawing them AGAIN — five years early.

This is a full-blown power grab. #INLegis

Vice President JD Vance is coming to Indy this Thursday to discuss a gerrymandering scheme with Gov. Mike Braun to steal democracy from We the People.
Redistricting isn't due for another 5 years, but the MAGA movement is hell bent on silencing our voices. We won’t let them.

ICE is now the largest law enforcement agency in the history of our country.

Democratic governors, mayors, and lawmakers have the power to stop secret police tactics like abductions by masked ICE agents: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...

He told his cult members that he would release the Epstein files, only to reverse it and tell them to stop talking about the Epstein files.

Here’s the deal: they will stop talking about it. Give it a month. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Trump’s Tax Scam makes ICE the largest federal law enforcement agency in the history of the republic. To put that in perspective, here are the sizes of other federal law enforcement agencies:

Considering we still don't have an answer if Diego committed tax and/or voter fraud, I'm highly skeptical of his intentions and any safe guards to protect naturalized citizens. Theodore is also involved and I don't trust him as far as I can throw him.

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.
