Christmas in Tucson. Desert mistletoe. Smaller leaves than California or eastern mistletoe, but it still fruits in mid-winter.

Wow! No wonder Trump is call the "ballroom" national security. It looks more like a hardened bunker for his AI-driven totalitarian state.

How to say "I'm guilty" without saying it. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/12...

Let’s hope that the UK comes out strongly and support of the BBC. If they don’t, we can start calling them the 51st state. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/u...

What strikes me is that none of this money is being paid by the individuals who failed these children. It is taxpayers and corporations. If social workers did $31 million worth of damage, though social worker should be punished individually. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

What a clown show! The Trump administration should just send every American a red rubber nose to wear. This is what we are reduced to. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

OK, so the government ethics office will now be disbanded by Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/u...

Statistically, being pregnant, and giving birth are the most dangerous things that most women will ever do in their lives. There is a reason we regulate medical practitioners. The system is not perfect, but it’s better than the alternative. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

If these crimes were committed by any organization that was not a religion, that organization would have been banned long ago and it’s leaders imprisoned. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/08/n...

Trump’s finest. www.fox19.com/2025/12/08/i...

Great! Can we court marshal Hegseth? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Talk about first world problems, there is a shortage of giant holiday decorations. Unfortunately, there also seems to be a shortage of tiny violins. www.thestreet.com/retail/home-...

This is chilling. It sounds like it will not be long before criticizing ICE online. Get you a visit from hoodlums with assault weapons. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Finally!

This recent analysis confirms that the oft repeated trope, that Republicans would kill 100 innocent people rather than let one guilty person escape, is accurate. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

WTF? Trump essentially declares his own birthday a national holiday?

Republicans demonstrate that they have completely sold out and would approve of any crime committed by the Trump regime. Any member of Trump's administration could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue and they would call it legal. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/u...

Attempted murder of a head of state. In EU airspace. That sounds like an act of war against the EU.

China supplies most of the fentanyl precursor. I will believe Trump’s rhetoric when he sends a reaper drown into Chinese airspace. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Unfortunately, based on his treatment of people who are actually working, I cannot imagine Musk being OK with giving money to non-working people so that they can participate in other activities...like eating. fortune.com/2025/12/01/f...

If this website is not scrupulously factual, which nothing in this administration is, it is a clear actionable first amendment violation. Bring on the lawyers. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Another thing I love about Tucson. Hint: this isn’t Tucson.

Since the AC was not working, it is hard to criticize these women for taking their sweaters off. They may have an action. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

In other words, "You can keep your convent as long as you stop making us look as horrible as we are. " www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Once again @nytimes is too cowardly to turn on comments for any article that shows Israel in a bad light. It does not matter what these two may have done, they should have been detained and tried, not executed. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/w...

Seems that the shooter got PTSD from supporting a US unit committing war crimes. Then Trump turned on the Afghan refugees back in July. While tragic, we need to remember that US behavior created this. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/u...

Let’s remember that the Trump administration has turned on Afghans who helped us during the war, stripping them of legal status and targeting them for deportation. Is it surprising that one of them would snap when betrayed? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/u...

It is standard practice to tightly regulate and limit access to anything that is fatal if misused. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Unarmed children get shot by crazed gunman, the Republicans send thoughts and prayers. National Guard troops who were never supposed to be DC get shot by a crazed gunman and the republicans send 500 troops. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

250 years ago, whites in power gave Native Americans blankets laden with Smallpox. Today, they are trying to convince Native Americans to not get vaccinated. Different mechanism but it looks like a similar goal. www.propublica.org/article/indi...

"I can't afford to replace my computer/printer/phone" is now labeled "device hoarding"? Maybe a sign people are broke, or that device innovation has stagnated. This is classic American corporation: blame the consumer when the product is not worth the money. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/h...

If you have any questions about the latest Ukraine surrender proposal (it doesn’t deserve to be called a peace proposal) this billboard explains it.

Really @nytimes? Your own paper published that these titles are unclear because blacks were denied access to the court for clear inheritance. Not because the families were lazy or “informal”. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/c...

There is literally a bronze plaque at West Point saying that the president is wrong, and the veteran senators are right. Let’s see how long before Trump demands that it be removed.

Is anyone surprised that the corrupt Extreme Court did this? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/u...

Just in time to help the future Trump regime prosecutors. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

The human drivers in Arizona are already rated the worst in the country. Now the state wants the distinction of having the worst robot drivers too. Better get that dash cam installed.

Daylight savings time might have made sense when the primary energy consumed was whale oil for lighting. Now that the largest energy consumer is air conditioning, it makes no sense. Love being in Arizona and not having to do the stupid clock dance.

The idea of “swagger“ in any healthcare company is not comforting , especially for an insurance company. www.beckerspayer.com/payer/united...

Dog people around the world say, “I knew it all the time!” www.sciencealert.com/owning-a-cat...

The Hilton Atlanta adds an 18% gratuity to all restaurant tabs, regardless of the size of the party. I am a party of one. I am normally more generous than that, but now I am annoyed. This does not help the workers. www.hilton.com/en/hotels/at...

So the Trump administration has re-issued the exact same verses that they previously said were the incorrect ones for this type of work. I am so glad it is the South Koreans and not the Trump administration that are building the cars. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

Finally! Johnson knew that a judge could swear her in if the house was in session, and he knew that would be embarrassing. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

This is one of the sickest things I have ever read. If this is true, I cannot even think of an appropriate punishment. Maybe bring back breaking on the wheel? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Two more families lives ruined by idiots with guns. One of the four cardinal rules of firearm safety is, “know your target and what is behind it.“. I wonder if we would actually be a safer country if everyone learned firearm safety in public schools. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

The only thing that looks worse than taking food away from hungry people is whining about it to the appeals court when you are not allowed to.
