Lowry for Indiana

Happy Father’s Day! Being a dad has been my favorite part of this wonderful life.

And it’s been great training for politics. If you wonder how I am able to handle all the hateful things said to me online, it’s because that’s nothing compared to having four teenagers at the same time.

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of justice. As we honor the day when the last enslaved African Americans learned of their freedom, we also recognize the responsibility to preserve and advance its legacy. Through education, advocacy, community engagement, and cultural programming, IDAAC Indy works to uplift Black history, empower future generations, and promote equity throughout our community. This Juneteenth, we celebrate progress while recommitting ourselves to the work that still lies ahead.

Juneteenth hits different for me.

My husband is Black. Our three kids are Black. Which means freedom, real freedom, the kind that was delayed, denied, and has been fought for every generation since, is not abstract to me. It lives in my home. It shows up in my children’s faces every single morning.

As a Latina woman, I was raised knowing that liberation has never belonged to just one community. Our histories are braided together. The struggles, the resilience, the hope. Our futures are too.

Juneteenth is a celebration. But it is also a reckoning and a responsibility. A reminder that freedom declared is not always freedom delivered. And that the work of building a community where every family can live, raise their children, and thrive with dignity is never finished.

Today we celebrate. We remember. We recommit.

To every Black family in our community: your history is honored here. Your future matters here.

Feliz Juneteenth. Happy Juneteenth.

When you have the front row seat and know what is going on you can speak truth to power. Thank you to both of Obamas and their family for showing us what it takes to maintain grace, dignity, and patriotism. I am awed I got to witness it in my lifetime.

“The Strait of Hormuz is open and everyone is having a wonderful time!”

The media keeps calling this a deal because Trump is calling it a deal, but it’s just a note he passed to Iran like a fifth grader that says, “Will you talk to me if I give you $12B? Circle yes or no.”
