New language in Trump's "big beautiful bill" could put beloved public lands up for sale, incl. AZ's Sabino Canyon & Mt Lemmon. Supposedly it's to address housing shortages - but could end up as luxury vacation homes blocking public access. @azcentral.com's report: www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

Still thinking about how six justices claimed that laws targeting transgender kids aren't sex discrimination. Skrmetti is part of the larger GOP project to redefine who gets to be a full citizen under the 14th Amendment. increasingly, the answer looks to be conservative white men and embryos.

A robust anti-monopolist framework absolutely sees how capital uses state power to capture rents! It's twisted to say that anti-monopoly approach has more blindnessness than the chaotic concept of "abundance" which explicitly and paradoxically frames such state power as epiphenomenal yet causal.

Tennessee's youth transition ban is straightforwardly discriminatory. It bans puberty blockers, hormones and surgeries only when they are used to affirm a trans identity www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/113/Bi...

Extreme heat poses a serious health risk, and it’s unacceptable for tenants to be without proper air conditioning during summer months. If your landlord fails to repair your broken AC, my office is here to help. 🌡️ More info here: www.azag.gov/press-releas...

As US moves (even more) to affordable housing system dominated by Low Income Housing Tax Credit, which largely depends on private-sector developers, as LIHTC expands & vouchers & public housing are (possibly) severely cut, the AH system will be (even more) landlord-friendly & tenant-hostile. 1/2

The nyt making a bad faith argument about trans people using obvious falsehoods that barely passes a basic sniff test to push their genocidal narrative? What is this, any day over the last five years?

If I were the city council in a blue city being asked to approve more police surveillance technology, particularly during a federal authoritarian swing that is very publicly co-opting said technologies, I would simply vote against it

While many mayors of major U.S. cities claim to oppose ICE — and have even implemented formal “sanctuary city” policies — local police often act as a “force multiplier” for ICE, even when they aren’t directly involved in detaining migrants. Co-published with @economichardship.bsky.social

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

This is an absolutely disgraceful act of corruption by both major parties. It will lead to an incredibly foreseeable set of disasters: best case, unlimited corruption and scamming, worst case a global financial crisis and inevitable federal bailout. Horrifying that 18 Democrats voted for it.

“A much more promising path to abundance is to embrace a 21st-century New Deal. That is the tried-and-true model for a ‘liberalism that builds’ in the U.S., and the book rightly invokes it as a foil to the present. Yet Klein and Thompson strangely shy away from calling for a new one.”

Austin’s only and oldest queer and feminist bookstore was vandalized this weekend. Someone threw a hunk of concrete at the Pride flag painted on their front window, smashing it and damaging the inside of the building. This would be an amazing time to show them some love. Ebookwoman.com

This is criminalization in its highest and most extreme form - turning the mere existence of a people into an “ism” framed as an existential threat to world order that must be eradicated as a result.

If your candidate isn't prepared to do this right here, then they are not prepared for the fight ahead. Bottom line. If you think your rep would stand in the way of ICE, you got a good one. If you think your rep wants to "work across the aisle" they're a Republican grifting you.
