Hey #AZ! Time to sign the petition for @krismayes.bsky.social She’s the best politician in Arizona hands down. KrisMayes.com/petition

BREAKING: Steve Benson, the legendary cartoonist who worked for the Mirror for 5 years, died Tuesday

Ds have less of a “messaging” problem and more of a “they actually agree with Rs” problem.

say it again: 4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

Astronomers say they have found the strongest indication of life beyond our solar system, on a planet 124 light-years away called ‘K2-18b.’ While they have not declared the finding of life, they detected “potential biosignatures” that are typically produced by living organisms like marine algae.

As David Brooks has said, we’re approaching civil disobedience and national strikes phase of defending our nation.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

How could a slavery scandal involving the President of the United States be worse than we thought? This extremely long, extremely detailed, and fully sourced PROOF report explains. This—not the tariff war—is the most important story in America right now. I hope you will consider checking it out.

I mean, that’s cute and all, but the speed at which these institutions “caved” tells me they’ve wanted to do this all along.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Spot. Fucking. On. Hear the primal scream and DO SOMETHING!

Elon Musk’s project is gutting Social Security-closing offices, slashing staff & cutting services. This isn’t about cutting waste; it’s about forcing everyday Americans to pay the price for billionaire tax breaks. We can’t stand by & watch—join a HandsOff march April 5th #MomSky rebrand.ly/ine2fay

One of the biggest applause moments from the @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov rally last night in AZ? When it was pointed out that we have to hold not just republicans to the fire but hold Democrats accountable. Yep. A party that aligns itself with the right is no party of mine.

Chart of cumulative protests reported from Jan 22 - Feb 28, 2017 vs 2025:

Gallego is holding a townhall on saving Medicaid days before holding an extravagant fundraiser with one of the lead coordinators with DOGE (Marc Andreessen). His team can’t block him from being able to answer questions about this forever

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

We all need to immediately stop supporting the democrat party and only give our time and money to a new party who actually cares to defend this country

Michael and I just had a convo about Dems' roll-over-and-die strategy that will (1) push anyone to the left out of the Party AND (2) lead such terrible conditions that they'll try (and fail) to sell the "vote for us because at least we aren't Republicans" strategy again. I'm so tired, y'all.

From @jkbrenneman.bsky.social Twitter “In a purely factual, non-edgy-leftist way,we would all be much better off if we could just reclassify moderate Democrats as the Republicans they are,call the Republican Party the far right party that it is,& make space for an actual left/liberal alternative.”

My teenage son just told me that there has been a sudden and dramatic shift in his and his male friends algorithms on Instagram where they are seeing only fighting videos. I am trying to not read too much into it- but something about this doesn’t sit right with me.

Hey #AZ education advocates- please go to RTS and call leg leadership to support #HB2778! It’s a bill that will serve as a continuation of funding for the early childhood system

If it’s so brilliant, why not go through the proper channels to audit and make change via Congress? Republicans have a majority- they can pass anything. It’s illegal and corrupt. “This is how democracy dies- with thunderous applause”

Looks like Musk-rats in Treasury are NOT “read-only,” but can manipulate data, steal data, and leave back doors. Your privacy gone.

If you have your Congressional folks on speed-dial, you're wasting your breath unless those calls have sizable checks attached. Put down the phone and march on over to your state and local lawmakers' offices instead. act.represent.us/sign/problem...

Hi @gallego.senate.gov this is the biggest slap in the face to those you represent. Stop being Trumps yes man and do what AZ DEMOCRATS elected you to do- stand up to fascist nazis hell bent on destroying this country.

This piece at The Verge is the best thing I've read so far on Musk's illegal actions so far. It's also a damning indictment of the failure to take effective counteraction by almost all levers of power, including most of the judiciary and Democratic leadership. www.theverge.com/politics/605...

If Democrats want to know how to win elections – whether in blue, red, or purple America – it's by being courageous. Honest. Full of passion. Righteous conviction. It's standing up, for god's sake. Not going home for the weekend while an unelected billionaire proceeds to overtake the Treasury.

it's not hyperbolic to say we're witnessing a coup.

Do you work for an AZ agency or nonprofit that's affected by Trump's federal funding freeze? We want to know what you're seeing and hearing, and how it will impact your work and Arizonans who depend on services. DM or email me: jsmall [at] azmirror.com

Anxious Nation Waits For Democratic Party To Do Something, Anything In Face of Republican Assault On Life And Liberty

I’ll be honest, this week there was more to destroy the rule of law than in trumps first term, And i have no idea what the Democrats are doing to fight back. Or even saying. Crickets

Democrats in Congress: WHAT IS THE PLAN? Going on Sunday shows and spewing consultant speak isn't going to cut it. Twelve inspectors general fired and there's no sit-in? No filibuster? No direction to voters? And in fact, some of you are actually voting for Trump's agenda?

Instead of focusing on comparing current times to Hitlerism—which only an international military response brought down—more Americans need to learn lessons from the brave Chileans who brought down Pinochet and restored democracy nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/content/chil...

@aznotoriousjpg.bsky.social your post is going around socials again

Opened Facebook today and was automatically shown t*ump had updated his profile pic. Which wouldn’t be suspicious except I FOR SURE BLOCKED HIM THE LAST TIME HE WAS IN OFFICE. This is happening to others too. Fuck Zuckerberg and his dictator bullshit. Check yours

Americans flocking to RedNote is amazing and hilarious. I’m not thrilled about living during unprecedented times, but they can be entertaining at times 🤣❤️

Right in time for folks who want to do things that truly impact a d provide for their communities (because voting and marching won’t save us).

I’m not a fan of ignoring problems but damn this week is bleak. I need a delulu place to go to give my brain a break.

Health officials in Louisiana say a person there has died after catching bird flu. This marks the first reported death in the U.S. from the virus during the current outbreak.

Many pediatric oncology programs rely on philanthropy and have just a small fraction of the resources that St Jude has. If you’d like to support children with cancer, especially those in your area, consider donating to your local children’s hospital.

Seems like the creepy older single guys are finding Bluesky and following me now… yall better send money or else you get blocked 🙃
