I am going to #PimaSupes tonight, but I stopped by a small protest in front of #Tucson City Hall. The (Tucson chapter) of the Democratic Socialists of America is protesting #TEP’s #Proposition421, a 25 year franchise agreement with the City of Tucson.

Protests in downtown #Tucson continue to grow, presumably as more and more people leave work. Locals are blocking some sections of Broadway downtown with an increased number of police on hand for traffic control. Everything is still peaceful.

I want to take a moment for some minor media criticism. For those who are reading these posts from somewhere other than #Tucson, I assure that the #NoKings protest here today is entirely peaceful. Families are bringing their kinds, people are armed with signs and slogans, not weapons.

I am slipping into Rep. Juan Ciscomani's tele-town hall. To be honest, I am glad he is talking to public but these town halls are deeply exclusionary and while the speaker is giving him hell for possibly cutting Medicaid - he has control of speaks and how he chooses to answer a question.
