Important people- advocates for early childhood, and for human services. Guv Hobbs’ budget has a great proposal for childcare! And we have some good bills to improve reimbursement rates for mental health providers. That will hopefully improve access to mental healthcare for many. Good news! 😊

This year I was honored with the IMLD Patron Award at the International Mother Language Day festival in Chandler. IMLD honors our ancestors’ languages and cultures, also raising awareness of our right to use our own language.

It is way past time for the majority party (Republicans) to exercise their responsibility to Law & order By passing a referendum to update the language in the Constitution. No Legislator should be stopped from getting to a vote, but also should get a citation on the spot. The law is for ALL of us.

When your city approves a zoning change and many city residents oppose it, you have a right to petition and change it back. But sb1352 would take away your right. Developers would trample neighbors. No! It rigs the system in favor of the billionaires. www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

How many laws will he break in his term? At what point will Republican lawmakers recognize his actions are illegal? “…President Donald Trump cannot unilaterally abolish a federal agency without the approval of Congress.”

Trump’s Agents detaining US citizens and demanding they show documentation of citizenship. Is that what Trump voters wanted? Or did they not think it through? Y’know- like tariffs.

Great example of why Arizona should consider enacting a law to ban price-gouging around a state of emergency. 👓⬇️ Democrats have a bill to get the conversations going. Republicans in AZLEG have total control of which bills can be discussed in committees. Arizonans: speak up for price fairness.

He was our 39th President, a Governor, a Lieutenant in the United States Navy, a peanut farmer, a humanitarian, a champion of human rights, a husband, father and grandfather. But above all else he was a profoundly decent human being. Thank you, President Carter and Godspeed. 🙏

After some Costco shareholders asked the company to end its DEI policies, this was their response: “Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." This explains why Costco is an industry leader!

Donald Trump’s focus on extreme measures, like the death penalty and harsh penalties for migrants, turns justice into retribution rather than rehabilitation. Instead of promoting fairness and reform, this approach fuels fear and deepens divisions.

Workers’ pay has not kept up with inflation. ⁉️But prices rose way higher than inflation. Q: Where is all the money going? A: to CEO- level and owners. We need regulations like a return to “no corporate stock buy-backs“ bc Capitalism without enough regulation causes high prices and low wages.

A federal judge just blocked Kroger's $24.6B acquisition of Albertsons. Four corporations control 70% of retail grocery sales in America. Kroger and Albertsons are two of those corporations. Less competition means more opportunity to price gouge. This deal was a rotten egg.
