The buildings down there are so distinct, I didn't even have to see "Sonoran desert" to guess Tucson.

I sent in my mail-in ballot last week.

In my part of Phoenix, AZ, there wasn't much of consequence to vote for. But I voted regardless.

Vote in every election. Research the candidates and proposals.

Anything less results in our current shitshow.

FACTS about SNAP:

On October 30, 2025, in Chicago, Illinois, ICE GOONS Backs into a U.S. citizenโ€™s car and subsequently arrests her for documenting their actions.

Rep. Clay Higgins: 

There are 22 million American households receiving SNAP benefits for groceries, at $4200 per year on average. 
 Try to get your head wrapped around how many pantries you can stock with $4200 dollars in properly shopped groceries. 
  Any American who has been receiving $4200 dollars per year of free groceries and does NOT have at least 1 month of groceries stocked should never again receive SNAP, because wow, stop smoking crack.

Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.

He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement โ€œMobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.โ€ He also said โ€œICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a โ€˜definitiveโ€™ determination of a personโ€™s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenshipโ€”including a birth certificateโ€”if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americansโ€™ rights and freedoms.โ€

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

100% honest question: what's stopping us ALL from wearing the same full face coverings in public? ICE is targeting people for the color of their skin...why not eliminate their primary tool?

The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob bossโ€™s network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.
