Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day. 💚 The places we love and fight to protect are Indigenous homelands long before they became national parks. Those connections are still very much alive.

I left Twitter after the Nov 2024 election. It had been my social media of choice for 15 years. Leon ruined it. I miss a single local journalist I used to regularly follow. That's it. Everyone else is on BlueSky. Also, I use the Blue Notify companion app to really not miss the important stuff.

🏆 The winner of Phoenix New Times “Best Boondoggle” of 2026 is Arizona’s universal ESA voucher program 🫠 Millions of transactions processed without a single review, and taxpayer dollars spent on luxury goods and appliances — all while our public schools remain severely underfunded.

Trump didn't stop wars — he just stopped calling them wars. He's launched thousands of airstrikes in 7 countries, expanded drones while cutting transparency, kept thousands of troops deployed and started a war in Iran. Demand accountability for real peace, not rebranded warfare.

😡Billionaires love vouchers. Public school families? Not so much. A new New York Times opinion piece lays out how wealthy special interests pushed vouchers through Texas, and what happens when public dollars are diverted to private schools. AZ knows this story all too well. 🫠Read the full piece.

There are plenty of Christians on the political left. We are busy feeding the hungry and thirsty and inviting the stranger in instead of vocally committing theological heresy that subverts the actual message of Jesus.

Ryan Visconti, the lead pastor of Generation Church which has campuses in Mesa, Ahwatukee, Queen Creek and Fountain Hills, expressing support for public executions like firing squads or “a dude swinging from a noose.” This is a TPUSA Faith affiliated church that previously hosted a JD Vance rally.
Ryan Visconti on X.com

Been saying we need to bring back public executions for years.

The goal is 1) justice and 2) deterrence.
Many evildoers would be dissuaded if they saw the cautionary reminder of a dude swinging from a noose.

You want to stop moms from killing their kids?
Firing squad.

So Trump is rolling out the red carpet for Xi while China arms Iran against us, making gas deals with Putin while Russia attacks Ukraine and fights our allies, and gifting billions in giant bombs to Israel to bomb innocent people in Gaza and Lebanon. Are we great yet? 🤷🏼
