🚨#Tucson folks who are opposed to #ProjectBlue -
A reporter at KVOA-TV is looking for someone to comment on the Memorandum Of Agreement filed yesterday by #PimaCounty Administrator, Jan Lesher. I'm busy today but I told them I would reach out to my Bluesky crew.

This is going to be an interesting race. And people are already getting heated about it. Someone blocked me in another thread yesterday because they apparently didn’t agree with my comment that Talarico is more likely to win the Senate seat than Crockett.

Texas Democrats divided over Jasmine Crockett’s Senate bid
Some Democrats dismissed the Dallas congresswoman as too polarizing to capture the swing voters needed to win. Others said her turnout-over-persuasion approach is the recipe to break through.

Trump says the US has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela.

He must really be itching to be investigated by the ICC.

This is so wonderful!
I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

I have more respect for the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at George W Bush than any of the cowards in the current White House press pool.

#Tucson #ICE

Tucson Blueskyers, this emerged out of a community meeting after the ICE raid on Grande. Pass it along, keep a screenshot and if you see anything suspicious give them a call. The bad guys are bound to up their activity with so many holiday events going on in our neighborhoods.

This is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, isn’t it?
Why am I seeing no reminders or any sort of statement from our government?

And so, are they now here illegally, and subject to rapid deportation?

Somebody knows who this worthless skank is. Let’s make her famous, and hopefully not able to show her face in town.
This occurred somewhere in Wisconsin. She has been fired.

The ACC isn't interested in our concerns. There are a couple of seats open in next year's election. You know what to do. Hopefully this won't get off the ground before then.
Despite the Tucson City Council voting down a new data center after massive public opposition to the project, the AZ Corporation Commission just voted to approve it.
Like, what the hell?
