Pride is a celebration, but also a protest and a promise not to go back.

At its core, Pride has always been about rights: the right to safety, to privacy, to family, to exist without fear.

We’ve seen what happens when protections aren’t guaranteed. We can’t let what happened to abortion happen to LGBTQ+ rights.

Pride should be a party. But right now, it’s also a fight for what should never be up for debate.

Someone who ranked 197 out of 220 House Democrats?

No, right?

Showed up for community, culture, and connection at the 2025 Community Love Fest hosted by Indy’s own Mike Epps.

Proud to stand alongside Moms Demand Action in their work to end gun violence—because true community love means keeping each other safe.

And yes…I did lace up. Been a minute since I hooped, but I still dropped a few buckets before they gave me the work. Might be entering my “Unc” era on the court, but the jumper still got something to say.

More tomorrow at Washington Park. Come through.

We’re more than halfway through Mental Health Awareness Month.

But for many, the struggle isn’t confined to a single month—it’s every day.

Nearly 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. are facing mental health challenges. Some are open about it. Many aren’t. And often, you won’t know just by looking.

Everyone is carrying something—a quiet fear, a heavy burden, a weight you can’t see. Let that reality soften how we speak to one another. Let it shape how we show up in the world.

Check in. Reach out. Be kind.

Sometimes just showing up makes all the difference. A text, a call, a moment of presence—it matters.

Let’s build a culture where it’s easier to ask for help, easier to offer it, and easier to be heard.

You’re not alone. And you’re not a burden.

Today is the end of National Nurses Week.

There is so much to be thankful for when it comes to nurses—their care, their patience, and their presence when people need it most.

But the nurse I appreciate most is my wife, Saba.

She doesn’t just take care of others. She takes care of me. She brings the same calm, loving care into our home that she brings into every hospital room.

Every day, I watch her pour her whole heart into the lives of strangers. And somehow still come home with enough love to give to me.

I see her sacrifice. I see her courage. And I feel her grace every single day.

Thank you, Saba—for everything you give, and everything you are. I’m in awe of you. I love you. And I appreciate you more than words can say.

Some of the best lessons I ever learned weren’t in a textbook.

They came from Mr. Fumusa, or “Fumu,” who taught me Government and Ethics in high school. But what he really taught was how to think, how to lead, how to stay grounded, and how to show up for people.

And he showed up for me every time. In the classroom. On the field. As a soundboard. He even wrote my college recommendation.

And he’s still showing up. Today, he’s the Treasurer of my campaign and helping lead our growing volunteer operation. Because that’s who he is. He builds people up. Builds teams. Builds belief.

I learned more in Fumu’s classroom than I did in some college lecture halls. His classes weren’t just better—they made me better.

This Teacher Appreciation Week, I’m thinking of the educators who shape us long before the world knows who we’ll become.

From the ground up.

This past week:

—Spoke to a local seniors group
—Showed up where people were protesting hate
—Met with folks at the Warren Township Democratic Club
—Rolled up our sleeves at a community garden clean-up

No filter. No fanfare. Just showing up, listening, and building.

Because this isn’t a campaign built for attention. It’s a campaign built from proximity. Presence. And people.

We’re not running this race from behind a desk. We’re doing it from the sidewalks, church basements, community centers, porches, and parks—where real life actually happens.

If you’re tired of politics that talks at people instead of walking with them, join us.
