I’ve lived in Beijing too. They don’t have elections.

Gas is high. Groceries are high. Rent is high. Wages are stagnant. Another forever war. ICE is committing murder on our streets. We can’t eat fresh produce and our national monuments and parks are being pillaged. But, at least the president has made billions of dollars in the last year…

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo Joan Sebastian Guerrero Ruben Ray Martinez Alex Pretti Renee Good Dozens of other innocent lives. These deaths aren’t mistakes. They’re the result of choices. Policy choices. Funding choices. Choices to not hold this Administration accountable. It’s time to SHUT. IT. DOWN!

🍎 While there are four candidates running for Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction, only one is an educator. SOSAZ endorsed candidate Dr. Terry Ruiz knows how to truly uplift and support our public schools! www.abc15.com/news/politic...

Deep-pocketed, dark money groups like Betsy Devos’ American Federation for Children, the Heritage Foundation, & the Goldwater Institute are pouring $ into lawsuits in a bad-faith attempt to throw Protect Education off the ballot. We need YOUR help to protect the signatures of over 420,000 AZ voters!

💔🏫 Over 30 Arizona public schools have been forced to close since universal ESA vouchers were pushed through in 2022. This year, more than $1.2 billion in our tax dollars will be siphoned from our already underfunded public schools to a runaway voucher program rife with fraud, waste, and abuse.

A border wall through Big Bend would be a monument to corruption. Local law enforcement opposes it — because it won’t make anyone safe. It’ll only make out-of-state contractors rich. We don’t need a corrupt wall. We need common sense border security.

Huge turnout tonight for a protest over ICE killing Lorenzo Salgado Araujo on Tuesday Magnolia Park, Houston. Video is from my colleague Macy Meinhardt, who is not on Bluesky but is on the scene.

😡 In 2018, Arizona voters defeated universal ESA vouchers at the ballot box – but the GOP-led legislature ignored voters and, just a few years later, pushed through the most expansive and least accountable voucher program in the nation. 📰 Read more: www.forbes.com/sites/peterg...

A state's budget shows its values — Arizona’s state budget slashes funding for vital education programs like dual enrollment, the Arizona Promise Program, and the Ninth Grade On-Track initiative. 😢 Read more: azcapitoltimes.com/news/2026/07...

👀MUST WATCH: Waste, fraud, and abuse are rampant in Arizona’s ESA voucher program. This radical experiment has created a billion-dollar boondoggle that is busting the state budget and forcing Arizona’s severely underfunded public schools to close at alarming rates — and the nation is watching.

🙌 Thank you to the incredible volunteers from across AZ who gathered signatures for the Protect Education Act. For the past 14 weeks we witnessed AZ parents, students & community members pour their time & their hearts into this movement. Because of you, Protect Education will be on the Nov. ballot.

Looking forward to all the Hunter Biden critics weighing in. Especially on Fox.

The “Protect Education Act” would put a $150,000 household income cap on participation, would claw back unused funds to provide to public schools, prohibit the purchase of luxury items with ESA money and require fingerprint clearance for workers in ESA supported programs. By @jerodmacevoy.com

Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today! We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire tax, we could fully cover free community college in America.

What started as a secret bid to kill a school voucher-limiting ballot measure ended in a late-night Capitol blowup, and a new Republican strategy to win the ESA war anyway.

Wanna see how terrified Republican lawmakers are of reducing the waste, fraud, and abuse in AZ’s ESA #voucher system? They will stop at nothing to defund public schools. www.arizonaagenda.com/p/welcome-to...

Instead of talking about how much money this disreputable dork has, we should be talking about all the children this white supremacist starved to death in Africa because he didn't think dark-skinned people deserved money from the US government—even though he's taken billions.

🚨 BAD BILL ALERT‼️Take Action: Urge your lawmakers to VOTE NO ON HCR2048 Republicans are trying to kill the Protect Education Act. This sneaky constitutional amendment would usurp the will of Arizona voters. ☎️ Call & email your legislators NOW: www.azleg.gov/MemberRoster/

ACTION ALERT! The AZGOP is negotiating a backroom deal to stop the Protect Education Initiative and efforts to reign in the $1 billion ESA voucher program. It's anti-democratic, anti-public school, and an affront to the hundreds of thousands of voters who have signed. secularaz.org/action_alert...

I talk to a lot of folks in real life about data centers. I have never run into even one who supports them, aside from the folks sent to our towns to sell them to us. Dems should lean into this. The Rs are generally in favor of letting corporations steal our water and power and quality of life.

🚨 URGENT‼️ Republicans are forcing a backroom deal that would eliminate the Protect Education Initiative, discard ALL voter signatures, & prevent AZ voters from having any say in reining in the $1 billion ESA voucher program. This is an affront to the hundreds of thousands of voters who have signed.

🚨 Hey, AZ. Please call your state senator and state reps (now if you can) to urge them to vote AGAINST any bill or budget that would scrap the #ProtectEducation initiative. We need to be able to turn in our petitions and allow voters to decide the fate of vouchers. 🚨 www.azleg.gov/findmylegisl...
