If you’re looking for good Somali food you should definitely check out Hoyo’s Cuisine. Checked them out at the Uptown Farmer’s market today and had Somali food for the first time and loved it. The tea was wonderful too as were the sambosas (not pictured).

@GovernorHobbs deserves our heartfelt thanks for vetoing the hateful and regressive SB1164. There is no place for that kind of racism in the Arizona of today and tomorrow! #LeadingUsForward @governorkatiehobbs.bsky.social

Still time to apply!

So it goes without saying, but let's say it anyway: the concentration of attacks on trans people isn't because trans people are the only people fascists hate (although they absolutely do hate them). It's because they're the people they think non-fascists are least likely to defend.

And the mighty bend a knee to appease the fascists. Sad day. If TJ stood for the values for which he is lauded, he’s rolling over in his grave. Vichy water only on grounds from now on . . . dailyprogress.com/news/local/e...

Today #AZLeg sent HB2703 to @governorhobbs.bsky.social so now democracy hinges on the power of the #veto! They say it “fixes” voting — but it is just a cynical play to suppress the votes of the most vulnerable voters. *And,* it ends our early voting list as we have known it for decades! #VETO

“Bluesky is an echo chamber!” Our Reply: Echo chamber? Nah, we prefer to call it surround sound for facts.

Out of roughly 153 million votes cast in this election, the presidency was decided by 230k across the three states of Wisconsin (30k), Michigan (80k) and Pennsylvania (120k). That's 00.15%. This remains an extremely closely divided nation. Any agenda viewed as extreme is likely to face backlash.
