Pima Politico

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Just as a matter of fact, the U.S. dropped more bombs on *Laos* during the Vietnam War than were dropped during the entirety of World War II

Praise of the Week: @captmarkkelly.bsky.social & @gallego.senate.gov! For holding the line against GOP attacks on Medicaid and the ACA that would cause Arizonans to lose care and drive up costs for everyone. Thank you for putting care, not cuts, first!

White supremacy: self-destructive, now and forever.

NGL, I'm alarmed by the prospect of US Navy officers applauding the extra-judicial execution of "terrorists" (along with other parts of Trump's speech). We're watching the real-time politicization of the US military

Gangsters. #ICE

GOP. Epstein Files. Child Rapists.

Shame on the commissioned Naval Officers sitting behind this thing. Shame on the Navy.

No one cares.

LU-NA-TIC

A humiliation. So the Navy is going to kill Democrats?

wizard frog is insane

Portland Frog updates about getting pepper sprayed in his fan intake 🐸🫡

SOUTH CAROLINA… “Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony...” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Liar. He does not.

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.

Federalizing one state's Natl Guard and deploying them to another state. Arizona is next. No one does anything. #Arizona #Hobbs @captmarkkelly.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov

behold the bold and brave washington post opinion section (under new management), lol

Lawless, roving gangsters. Our elected lawmakers do nothing to protect us. #ICE

I am so sick of these lunatics. So sick of them.

X under Musk’s leadership: Substantial hate and no reduction in inauthentic activity Numerous studies have reported an increase in hate speech on X (formerly Twitter) in the months immediately following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform on October 27th, 2022; relatedly, despite ...

i personally prefer not to marinate in bot driven hate speech & science denial journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... and i hope bsky does not succumb to the forces that degraded most maybe all other social networks

Today I was in Globe and Miami to survey the damage from last week’s flooding, talk with families and small business owners, and thank the first responders helping with recovery.

These communities are resilient and I’ll do everything I can to help them get back on their feet.

With Portland, Trump’s Police State Is Getting Bigger and More Radical If the National Guard and ICE can run wild, as Trump wants them to, then America is not a free country.

The administration has used protests against ICE actions as pretext to bring in the National Guard to allegedly quell violence and disorder. But the Democratic Party is not leaping to the defense of those affected by raids and deployments.

We are in many ways on our own. trib.al/67qeUda

SOYBEAN FARMER SOUNDS OFF: Trump’s trade war is crushing farmers. Now Trump is giving $20B to Argentina—the same country taking much of America’s soybean market.

Soybeans are the no. 1 cash crop in Tennessee.

Bad Bunny responds to his Super Bowl critics in Spanish, and then English: “And, if you didn’t understand know what I just said, you have four months to learn!”

The “Real” Homeownership Gap between Today’s Young Adults and Past Generations Is Much Larger Than You Think Economic constraints, lack of affordability, and lower marriage rates are affecting how many young adults can become homeowners.

The only path to any sort of wealth for regular Americans is home ownership, and it is disappearing for young people. This will radically change our nation...not for the good. www.urban.org/urban-wire/r...

No more turncoats like Fetterman or jellyfish like Schumer.

No more political manipulators who would rather campaign on issues than actually solve them.

Let’s not forget that Democrats could’ve codified Roe when they had majorities in Congress.

Some preferred the political math of letting the threat persevere, so they could yammer on about protecting women’s rights.

We all know how that turned out.

We need principled fighters committed to ending the scourge of fascism and restoring rule of law.

3/6

Fighters unafraid to demand a heavy reckoning, a full accounting of the atrocities being committed by this current administration.

Fighters who refuse to sweep anything under the rug for the sake of “unity” or “healing”…or the litany of things they say when they’re afraid of the billionaires.

4/6

Fighters unafraid to demand changes to a system that has made detrimental concessions to the confederate states since the civil war.

Fighters unafraid to go after citizens united, lifetime appointments, term limits, rampant corruption of SCOTUS to the 4th estate…no sacred cows or third rails.
