How did this civil rights rally in our nation's capitol get almost zero media publicity in advance? Oh, right, forgot that the corporate media has completely bent the knee to Trump and his attack on what he calls "woke."

Today's sign of the coming apocalypse: the quacks at Turning Point USA are partnering with a dark money group funded by the gambling industry. More folks that will need to be investigated when all this is over. Will try to post the rest of the article in the comments section.

From today's USA Today: America is drowning in debt. Trump is spending our economy into oblivion on his vanity projects, and the Republican party, which has traditionally claimed to be the party of "fiscal responsibility", is sitting on their hands doing nothing.

Says a lot about what a shi#hole country America has become that 33% of the citizens *still* support this lying POS Trump as he bankrupts and destroys our nation while cozying up to our enemies

Seems too long since we had any Republican leaders in Arizona like John Giles who had integrity or self-respect. Now he's running as an Independent for Lt Governor on a ticket with Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs against MAGA lackey Andy Biggs. Don't make a "bigg" mistake; vote for Hobbs & Giles!

How it's going. Meanwhile, Trump whining about needing trillion$ more for national defense and vanity projects, while increasing US national debt to $40 trillion, of which he is responsible for almost 30% after being in office for less than 6 years of our 250 year history. So much winning. 🙄

Please boycott these MAGAts at Sable Boulangerie (bakery) in Gilbert AZ. They are vocal supporters of the Tate Brothers (Trump's buddies who the UK is trying to extradite on charges of rape, assault, and arranging or facilitating travel for sexual exploitation.) Another version of the Epstein class.

Local Republican mayor avoids fine for speeding ticket by not acknowledging the ticket or showing up in court. The process server says they can't find her at her home. Has anyone checked at her office? 👀

Putin putting more ideas into Dumb Donnie's little brain. I expect that Trump will be trying to ban the Democratic Party from this year's elections in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .

Maybe the reason Trump's buddies at Taylor Farms can't find the shi# in the lettuce that they're selling to you is because they're too busy finding the fraud in their executive millionaire class

Chandler AZ is deflocking. Apparently there are more police officers in America abusing the Flock system to stalk women than there are trans athletes, so maybe folks should rethink which is the greater threat. You can get a map of Flock cameras in your area at deflock.org

Colorado River flows are down 20% in this century compared to the previous century. Govt officials cannot keep warning us about potential shortages while continuing to approve new developments that rely on our shrinking supply. Growth decisions should reflect the current reality.

The Trump administration did away with the Fish & Wildlife Service fire crew that used to be stationed at this wildlife refuge. Hopefully the MAGAts in this predominantly Republican County will know who to blame for this failure (I doubt it, but we gotta have hope.)

A firefighter stands in front of towering flames as the Box Springs fire burns the forest near Prineville OR on July 21, 2026. Image taken by OR Dept of Forestry employee. Trump's gonna wanna tariff the hell out of those fires.
