As I write this, Indiana’s legislature is close to passing Senate Bill 12, a measure that would prohibit the use of ranked-choice voting in Indiana. The bill was co-authored by Republicans who are evidently worried...

#SB12 just advanced to the House; the Senate passed it 38 to 9. This bill outlaws rank choice voting permanently in IN without ever hearing from voters on the matter.
Call your state rep (800) 382-9842. You can find out who your rep is here: iga.in.gov/information/...
#IndianaPolitics
Contact your state senators and tell them you oppose #SB12 which will permanently ban #RankChoiceVoting in Indiana without voter input.
Public hearing via the Elections Committee was this morning. I do not yet know the outcome of that meeting.

The same politicians attacking abortion access are targeting queer & trans Texans through SB12. We stand with drag performers like Brigitte Bandit & LGBTQ+ communities fighting for the freedom to live & express ourselves.

As I was just prompted to fill out my parental permissions for my son's school so he can get a bandaid and join a club, per Texas #SB12, remember that schools must still support ALL students to succeed and thrive. Here's the @idraedu.bsky.social explainer:
they're still trying to let Ken Paxton be King of Election Law.
this is Ken Paxton watching the #SB12 debate RN... probably. and probably on another "European vacation". #txlege
Texas SB12 basically prohibits public schools from acknowledging the existence of trans youth.
And it's not just the literal terms of the law, it's the chilling effect.
Texas Republicans have made it clear they want to bully trans youth out of existence.

the SREC for RPT had to have an 🚨EMERGENCY MEETING🚨 to vote in favor of #SB12? clearly, they didn't support it before now so they can continue to fuck themselves instead. #txlege
I'd like to see sign off from every single one of Gary Zimmerman's family members saying that he does, in fact, speak for them.
I'd especially like to make sure he's not using tax payer funding to do this.
also: which Democrats would he accept being elected? he said he would. #SB12 #txlege #SB11
I'd like to know exactly how many local leaders in his district A-Holenijosa has spoken to today if he honestly believes the bullshit he's spewing right now. #txlege #SB12
so a school board member from A-Holenijosa's district just said, "well, since you want direct communication: guns are the leading cause of death for children in this state. I am not worried about people peeing. I'm worried about gun violence."
and he basically said he didn't care. #txlege #SB12
did I mention that Middleton is casually threatening to take local government officials to court for perjury when they are here on their own dime like he asks for in this bill and he doesn’t like what they have to say? #SB12 #txlege
now we're on #SB12:
only lobbyists with secret client lists should be able to lobby because the cities and counties are starting to wonder if they're just glorified members of the secret police with all the rights and responsibilities taken away from local governments.
it's TPPF's fav. #txlege
The ACLU of Texas and Students Engaged in Advancing Texas (SEAT) file a lawsuit against the State of Texas over its Don’t Say Gay or Trans law #SB12 that includes bans on LGBTQ+ student clubs and DEI programs and mandates student safety-harming forced outing policies.
As POOs drop on #SB12, some looks at Tx views of DEI policies from Feb '25 UT/Tx Politics Project Poll. ("Based on what you know, do you have a positive or negative view of diversity, equity, & inclusion policies at businesses & state institutions?" texaspolitics.utexas.edu/set/view-of-... #txlege
Texas politicians want to ban curricula and DEI efforts in K-12 public schools — silencing essential discussions about race, gender, and identity.
Students are constitutionally entitled to explore these topics. #SB12 is not about improving education. It’s about controlling it.
8/ We must speak up. SB 12 isn’t just bad policy—it’s a constitutional threat dressed in parental rights. Our students deserve better. #txlege #SB12 #FreeSpeech #ProtectOurStudents
1/ SB 12 isn't just an attack on DEI—it’s a full-on censorship bill. It targets public school students, staff, & communities who dare to talk about race, gender, or identity. Here’s what’s in the bill & why it’s dangerous. #txlege #SB12
HAPPENING TODAY: Leaders from @aclutx.bsky.social, @equalitytexas.bsky.social and other organizations will be holding a press conference in Austin denouncing #SB12, an extremely broad and sweeping DEI ban at K-12 public schools and libraries
