Midwesterners saying “all good, no worries” when things are not all good and there are so many worries

[Dana Carter @dcarter24]

Just a thought - can we all just agree on a write-in candidate?

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

Midwesterners will throw extra napkins in the glove compartment “just in case”

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

If someone in the Midwest says
“listen here, pal” it’s about to go down

What happened to the Indiana legislature of 10-15 years ago?

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

nobody:

Midwesterner trying to ask someone for a favor: hey could you help me with this thing? Absolutely no pressure though. Totally ok if you can't. If you'd rather run me over with a car that's alright. Do you hate me?

The average age of the US Senate is 65. 65! Folks, come on, we need campaign finance reform.

[Dana Carter @dcarter24]

This is absolutely abhorrent.

My heart is heavy for Indiana today.

[Niki Kelly @nkellyIN]

House just approved abortion ban 62-38.

It goes to Senate, which can take a vote today to accept the changes (a concurrence) or send it to conference committee for a compromise.

They can try the concurrence vote first. A defeat doesn't kill the bill.

[Heartland Signal @HeartlandSignal]

IN state Rep. Engleman (R) introduces an amendment to eliminate rape and incest exceptions in the new anti-abortion bill. Rep. Fleming (D) asks if that would prevent a 5th grader (10-year-old) rape victim from getting abortion care.

Engelman sighs: "It... It does."

[Dana Carter @dcarter24]

@sam_snideman I too love Indiana and am a proud Hoosier. The recent events have boggled my mind and dimmed my hope for Indiana policy.

[Gabriel Bosslet @gbosslet]

The fact that in Indiana Senate Republicans just voted down an amendment to guarantee access to contraception shows that this discussion is not primarily about reducing abortions

Because guaranteeing access to contraception has been proven to do that

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

Speak midwestern

No Yeah = Yes

Yeah no = No

Yeah no for sure = Definitely

Yeah no yeah = I’m sorry unfortunately, the answer is yes

No yeah no = oh yeah nothing to worry about

Welp: exclamation before it’s time to go or “I guess that’s how it goes”

Ope: shorthand apology

[Dana Carter @dcarter24]

@UPS why is it so hard to read the box and not put the box on the side that it is not supposed to go on. Twice in a week! Seriously this lack of attention is expensive and ridiculous!

[Dana Carter @dcarter24]

You don't have to like anyone to be civil and decent to them. Read that again.

[Dana Carter @dcarter24]

And lessons in civility and kindness. Getting things accomplished in government or any facet in life does not come with the unabashed license to be rude and disparaging to the people who are working hard for the people at large.

[Dana Carter @dcarter24]

Everyone really needs to go take and pay attention to government classes.

[Dana Carter @dcarter24]

@thekitmalone How can we work, as contributing citizens, to stop that or keep democracy going, or even improve it?

[Dana Carter @dcarter24]

For the Primary - 12% voter turnout in Hendricks County. Abysmal.
The act of Voting is something we should all take a bit more serious.
