Trump stole millions of dollars from us to buy those campaign ads. Of course he won't pay us back. He's a criminal who should be in prison right now.

Trump Does Not Plan to Reimburse Taxpayers for Promotional Ads
A day after the president said his super PAC would pay for the ads, which had drawn bipartisan backlash, officials said that he meant moving forward. A new taxpayer-funded ad aired Tuesday.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

⚠️ 🗳️ Prop 320 removes local control and pushes public school districts into a one-size-fits all formula. But, districts’ needs vary widely across AZ. Spread the word - Vote #NoProp320‼️
azmirror.com
Prop. 320 asks voters if the state should dictate how much public schools spend in the classroom
Prop. 320 asks voters to change state law to override local control and force public schools to spend a bigger percentage of their funding on “direct instruction.”

AZ, vote NO on Prop 320. It exerts far too much control on how public schools use their funding and applies harsh punishments on schools that don’t meet nearly impossible demands. It would result in essential cuts and school closures @sosarizona.org

🚨DON’T BE FOOLED BY PROP 320: It claims to mandate 60% classroom spending, but the fine print tells a very different story. Prop 320 adds no new funding to our public schools. Instead, it threatens teacher pay cuts, fails to define critical terms, & forces districts to slash student support staff.

🔥“Prop. 320 focuses on one number: 60%. But the other 40% pays for transportation, counselors, campus safety, technology & other services that help schools function… AZ should demand efficient schools, transparent spending & better outcomes. But a spending percentage is not a student outcome.”
