Tucson!

This is an info meeting about the proposed ICE for-profit detention center in Marana.

The prison company, MTC, has a horrendous history of abuse.

Please join us on Dec 11. Note that we’ll be at Tortolita Middle School.

This meeting should give us good action steps!

So you mean AZ’s ESA voucher scam is working as designed—to subsidize the wealthy by taking money from public schools?

Well… that’s going to keep me up tonight.

I started teaching in ‘90 and I don’t see how things are going to get any better.

Hey, Bluesky friends!

Who’s going tonight?

I’ve got on white pants (though they’ll be slightly less white by the time my kindergartners go home), a light orange sweater, and maybe a long brown coat if it’s cold.

Come say hi to me!!!

Some call it Black Friday, we call it Primer Friday.

After 14 years of Fire Engine Red, this bedroom will have a new life. I’m thinking Sky Blue, but we haven’t gone paint shopping yet.

My daughter & I spent pretty much all day painting 2 coats of primer over that darn red. It’s pink now… 😂😂😂

The orange idiot & hegseth are perfectly well aware that their actions are illegal.

They just think that they’re above the the law…

and we shall prove that they are not.

Last Thursday, a federal judge ruled that Trump’s deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., was illegal.

Today 2 National Guard soldiers are shot

Trump sends 500 more troops

I saw so many homeless people with their belongings out on the streets of Tucson yesterday. Interestingly, every one of them had a dog.

I’m pretty certain that the numbers are up compared to this time last year, but I haven’t seen data.

If you’re willing & able, consider doing something to help.

Trump can’t take as many destructive actions against our country today because he’s out golfing.

In Timothy Snyder's 'On Tyranny ' one of the lessons put forth is to "Defend Institutions"

Libraries are among the most important of institutions to defend and literally anybody can help do so.

Get a card, make a donation, shout out your local librarian. Resist.

Enjoying nature and beauty,
Spending time with loved ones,

This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Choose where you want your money to go~ to millionaires and billionaires, or back to your community.

Tucson - Consider buying a membership to Reid Park Zoo or the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum.
