AZ AG Kris Mayes is one of the few people in Arizona politics doing the right things for the working class.
Thank you, Kris Mayes.
Public service should never be weaponized for political games. This rule undermines the very spirit of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program and threatens workers who dedicate their careers to public service.

Dinesh D'Souza is surprised that the White Supremacists that he supported did a racism against Vivek Ramaswamy. I swear these people don't understand that racists don't just go away if you're nice and suck up to them. They are still racists, you dumb fuck.

Just in: USCIS says in news release that election officials have run more than 46 million queries to check voters' citizenship in expanded SAVE tool, and more than half of states have signed up to use the tool or are in the process. Background:
NEW: DHS used to only have information on immigrants who’d had contact with the agency.

Under a new data-sharing agreement, the system added information — including full Social Security numbers — on millions of Americans not in DHS databases.
DHS Agreement Reveals Risks of Using Social Security Data for Voter Citizenship Checks
A recently released agreement gives the Department of Homeland Security access to hundreds of millions of Americans’ Social Security data. It contains alarmingly few provisions to ensure accuracy and privacy, experts say.

The plan is the latest step in an unprecedented Trump administration initiative to pool confidential data from varied sources that it claims will help identify noncitizens on voter rolls, tighten immigration enforcement and expose public benefit fraud.

That old saying:
Experience is the BEST teacher.

typical #Arizona #Republicans sadly
Dipped my feet in the Verde River on Friday in northern AZ; locals have conserved water thanks to state and federal funds; but AZ's Republican Congressmen voted to defund these projects in their own districts and voted for the #biguglybill

Sadly, we no longer live in a functioning democracy.
I'm pretty sure there are multiple "shadow" presidents in the US currently and always have been. We aren't meant to be a one-man show. It's just these particular people that are running things now are the shittiest of humans.

In Trump’s America, billionaire and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison is a kind of shadow president. Meanwhile, the Ellison family is cornering the market on attention and data the same way the Vanderbilts did railroads and the Rockefellers did oil.

In the last 48 hours, right-wing election groups have submitted over 200,000 new comments to the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) urging it to require Americans to show a passport or other citizenship documents when registering to vote. Please comment to oppose this before October 20! 1/3

Where you can knowingly and intentionally commit crimes, including fraud and impersonating an elector, and as long as you're MAGA - it's A-OK ✅
Men: better start doing better with your boys.
Women: good luck out there :(
An Andrew Tate and Charlie Kirk fan just murdered two teenage girls. In a livestream now taken down he claimed they had made fun of Charlie Kirk's death.

This is the real world consequences of the hate and misogyny the right promotes while claiming the left is violent.

Government shutdowns hit American women harder than anybody.

- women are a HUGE portion of the government workforce

- Head Start has closed in the past b/c of those lack of funds. Where do these children go?

- domestic violence shelters close

- WIC, EBT, and DHS housing are all threatened

I can't believe I have spent my entire life being told to shut up about feminism and now it's 2025 and women are not allowed to have acetaminophen.
Adios for now, Bluesky. Hope you have a day.
There really are a lot of things going on behind the Tylenol/autism hoax.
Controlling women has been a thing since the beginning of man.
To keep it political, it is a founding principle of this country.

Agree but my pessimistic brain has gone further.
They can refuse disability payments - “you knew taking tylenol would lead to disability thus we won’t pay/cover this child”.
Blaming women for every problem ever is hardly a new thing. Originally homosexuality was because of a “cold mother”.

So, why just Tylenol and not the other brands? Could it be...?

They want to blame autism on women.

That's what it's all about.
Reposted by J
"Tylenol causes autism" is bananas but easy to comprehend from a feminist perspective. They want women* to suffer without pain relief. They want to control pregnant women.

But just saw @robinmarty.com point out that it's also to counter the "medication abortion is safer that Tylenol"

And oooof.
Men should stop enrolling or re-upping for the military. Let women handle it now, we're better at damn near everything anyway. That'll really piss off Republicans.
Pete Hegseth has shuttered a nearly century-old committee created to expand the role of women in the military.

A Pentagon spokesperson claimed the committee was "focused on advancing a divisive feminist agenda." There is no evidence to support that. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
