At an Action Hub meeting where various community and political groups are hoping to organize volunteers- following up on the huge turnouts at our #NoKings protests. Sadly, not yet as diverse a crowd here as should be. #FlagstaffLife

Congress being on vacation during this unspeakably dark moment is as shocking as Tr*mp's deranged rhetoric. It goes hand in glove with the sinking of our own civilization. Shocking, but - sadly, tragicallly - not surprising.

So pleased by the city’s commitment to put this in such an accessible location. #FlagstaffLife

Democratic senators: It's time to draw a line in the sand. A nominee for Attorney General will soon come before you. Make the confirmation process about releasing ALL of the Epstein files (without redactions) and prosecuting the Epstein class. (1/2)

I’m grateful that my local election officials are both proactive and very diligent about transparency. We all need to be working hard to ensure all upcoming elections are secure, accurate, and accessible.

How anybody can look at this image and think there are better options out there is entirely beyond me. The only planet with whales, and butterflies, and giant sequoias. Home.

This is intolerable environmentamerica.org/newmexico/ce...

Warm welcome for Russian lawmakers draws bipartisan backlash for Arizona Rep. Eli Crane azdailysun.com/news/local/w... All Rep Crane has are Trump's coattails. His disdain for constituents is the same as his King's indifference to everything that used to be America.

President Trump can sign all the executive orders he wants. It won't change the United States Constitution. States run their elections, not the President of the United States, not the Department of Homeland Security.

April showers bring May flowers…saying from my midwestern childhood, not usually appropriate to our dry N AZ springs, but seems pertinent today! #FlagstaffLife

Trans friends, thank you for being you, and for, when you can, sharing yourselves with a world that is so frequently undeserving of the light you bring to it. I love and support you, always. 🏳️‍⚧️🫂🫶

On #TransgenderDayOfVisibility, we renew our call for #Arizona to stand against harmful bills pushed through the AZ Legislature that are based in religious dogma, disinformation, hate and bigotry. For more about our stance and to access facts and talking points, visit secularaz.org/transgender-...

We would love to see this!

Nice to see this endorsement! Our congressional district hasn’t been competitive in a while but it seems the situation is changing.

Last year we bought a used Ioniq 5 (one of the few choices we had for improving on the efficiency of my 10-year old Prius with which I regularly achieved 50-plus mpg). Absolutely love it! Bonus - virtually no maintenance cost.

Feeling like a blue dot in a sea of red? No Kings 3 on 3/28/26 saw 82 events across AZ, in giant Phoenix & Tucson and tiny Patagonia & Arivaca. From Quartzsite to Window Rock, Kayenta to Douglas, more than 100,000 Arizonans showed up to declare: No kings in the US! 🚫👑 #NoKings #NoKingsAZ #AZProtests

Yes, absolutely! We are utterly, completely entwined with both the physical and the biological worlds around us.

Thousands gathered along Route 66 in front of Flagstaff City Hall as part of the nationwide No Kings protests on Sat, March 28. Many protesters say they're anxious and angry about the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and the war with Iran.

Back home after our Flagstaff #NoKings gathering. Good crowds in front of City Hall and lining Route 66 entering downtown. Great energy - now hope that most of these people find something they want to DO in the next weeks and months!

Situation is grim enough, perhaps Arizona’s elected officials will start thinking about the long term!

So many times in the past 14 months it has been difficult to feel hope and pride in our country. Today my heart is full of hope and so much pride in the people of the U.S.A. We will take our country back and democracy will prevail! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Terrific thread reminding us (and perhaps our skeptical friends and neighbors) of the genuine positive impacts of huge visible events like today's #NoKings demonstrations. Looking forward to our @indivisiblenaz.bsky.social event this afternoon!

Virtually limitless renewable energy resources here in N Arizona. Why are Arizona families being asked to pay more for electricity when experts say @apsFYI’s proposed rate hike could be much smaller? Ratepayers deserve fair utility pricing and accountability. Enough is enough. ➡️ bit.ly/3PtEEO5

What a great contribution! For all those for whom mobility, transportation, distance or other issues prevent physical attendance at a rally. And I *love* that all these participants will be able to see/hear and be inspired by the Minnesota speakers.

Horrified (but not totally surprised either) that Arizona gets a D grade here. Former Governor Napolitano said years ago that Arizona really ought to be the OPEC of solar energy. But we waste so many opportunities!

Why should we be worried if ICE is going to polling places? Because they killed two Americans in two weeks in front of our eyes.

Flagstaff AZ #NoKings

Shocking and horribly disappointing. Our tax dollars at work keeping people unaware, unprepared.

I love to see this! In the non-urban west, it might be a very long way to a site - AND it might be distressingly hot/dry/windy for many folks once they get there. I definitely know people who will be able to take advantage of this virtual option - and still be counted!

Preparing for Saturday's #NoKings in Flagstaff AZ! My friends and colleagues are talking it up with some newbies we hope will attend. Most of us have watched one or more of the Know Your Rights trainings. Signs are being designed! You'll see us if you travel historic Route 66 through town...❌👑

Lots of thought-provoking ideas in this post. I'm going to push my county Master Gardeners Association folks to take up one or more of the obvious opportunities for restoring native plants in some of our neighborhoods! open.substack.com/pub/richardc...

"nobody is doing anything" remains a lie meant to soothe the person saying the words. It's not true. YOU may not be doing anything but a lot of people are.

Yes, plenty to be on watch for starting right now.

History is made. New US March monthly heat record at Martinez Lake, AZ at 110°! The most intense spring #heatwave in US history.

friend, this is Marcus Junius Brutus CAESAR has declared himself DICTATOR FOR LIFE and MUST BE STOPPED can you rush a donation of ten denarii today to show that you STAND WITH THE REPUBLIC?

I'm hoping this is a genuine wake-up call for many of my friends and neighbors here in northern Arizona.

Not even the Nazis expressly announced they were committing war crimes. Indeed, at Nuremberg war crimes were denied. But here, openly, the US Secretary for Defense is explicitly admitting to committing war crimes.

Looks as if this could be devastating for the Colorado River, even as the states in the basin remain far from any plan for water allocation.

As a former New Mexico resident, now in Arizona…it continues to astonish me that NM legislators and Governor manage to get their state business (including budget) done each year in just 2-3 months, while in AZ it drags out until (or sometimes AFTER) the end of the fiscal year.

You can't reassemble a sorting machine you threw in a dumpster three weeks ago. Federal judge issues nationwide injunction, says it's "voter disenfranchisement." Despite it all, postal workers delivered 99.89% of ballots on time. (4/4)

Ours is in our garage - but same! Decision to buy EV last fall is looking better than ever.

Yes yes yes! Shoutout to our local Brightside Books - a key community hub in #Flagstaff

I lived many years in Las Cruces near El Paso, so was alarmed this week by the El Paso airport shutdown. And then astounded that a party balloon had triggered it all (real 99-red-balloons stuff). Here's a valuable thoughtful piece on the true implications. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Me too! I hate to see a high-quality mask in a crowd viewed as an “extreme” measure.

I'm in total agreement! I've done election observing (polling places, tabulation) and worked at the polls in my rural county - it's super frustrating that so few friends and neighbors are willing to learn more and take on some community role in our great local system @coconinovote.bsky.social

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

btw Where is Kelly Yu of Peoria AZ now? @azfamily.com @kjzz.org
