A true hero. Honor.

We have to call out the increasingly blatant bigotry of the right — like President Trump’s calling Somali Americans “garbage” — or risk accepting it as the new normal. capitalandmain.com/somali-ameri...

Trump is trash.

Congratulations Bruce Hilpert on your excellent Letter to the Editor in today’s Arizona Daily Star! The US has joined “the worst of the worst” under this regime. This is why we cannot and will not stop pushing back.

Hey, they found the election cheating! Turning Point exec and former AZ Legislator pleads guilty to election fraud, namely forging signatures on his candidate petitions.

Spread the word about this great event in Tucson, today, Dec. 14.!

The Management and Training Corporation is “sensitive to public opinion.” Let’s give them more than they can imagine or want.

Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s Nephew speaks out after ICE arrest: I think what I would have to say to Karoline is just because you went to a catholic school doesn't make you a good catholic.

The potential ICE detention center in Marana must be stopped. Detention centers are horrific places. Detention centers are prisons for immigrants. E-mail MTC and Marana Council members to express your concerns. It takes five minutes. Huge shout out to Kristin Downing and her entire team!

This is sick.

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery. Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff. Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him. www.wvva.com/2025/12/10/s...

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

“…big misconception about social democracy… The difference is that a janitor can afford healthcare. A teacher can afford a home. And the wealthy still live in a society that works. Social democracy doesn't put a ceiling on wealth. It raises the floor.”

It wasn’t even close.

That’s 0 (ZERO) Covid vaccine deaths in children. Please share.

Public lands belong to the American people, not special interests. But the Trump administration is checking off industry’s wish list, pushing through record-breaking rollbacks that target 88 million acres. https://ampr.gs/4pXkFnI

We are not without power!!

Arizona has it’s own GoodRx card free for all Arizona residents. bsky.app/profile/indi...

Chicago is where Michelle was raised, where I got my start as an organizer, and where we built a family together. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next June, it will be our way to give back to a city that has given us so much. obama.org/presidential-center

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Look at this chart. Still wondering if inequality is a problem throughout the world? Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power. https://www.theguardian.com/news/2025/dec/10/visual-breakdown-worlds-wealthiest-people

The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

I was pleased to again partner with virologist @jimalwine.bsky.social on this piece about the continued, insidious assault on public health by RFK Jr. We are truly on a bullet train back to the dark ages; prisoners to Kennedy’s bizarre whims. He is contemptible.

The sensational reports of alleged thuggery and corruption in the construction industry have obscured the political treachery of Labor’s attacks on the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU). www.greenleft.org.au/2025/1444/an...

No mask over her face, unarmed, and facing off with an armed soldier without rules of engagement - these are the women who remind me to be brave.

Powerful to rally today with several hundred teachers, families, and community members in support of West Contra County teachers! Our community supports the strike and will be out in the streets every day until teachers get a fair contract.

NEW: This week, Democracy Docket exposed another Trump loyalist burrowed into DOJ working to seize state voter data. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court handed Trump a green light to rig the 2026 midterms in Texas. But pro-democracy advocates aren’t backing down

America can’t wait for a new president and better future‼️

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

CHANGE IN VENUE!!! Please let everyone know, the forum next week will be at Tortolita Middle School, NOT Mountain View High School!! New flyer:
