Don't forget this tomorrow morning!
I ❤️ cardinals! 2nd most favorite bird (after hummingbirds). Love to see them in the winter against the white snow. Stunning! TY for posting!
This morning's "die-in" at Schweikert's Scottsdale AZ office "to dramatize how billionaires and politicians are killing our communities through corporate greed, school privatization, and attacks on working people." 👏👏👏 More pics from @azcentral.com: tinyurl.com/labordayaz @poderlatinx.bsky.social
A cardboard Schweikert looks on from his Scottsdale AZ office over the die-in, put on by Fuerte Arts Movement & Poder Latinx for #LaborDay ☠️ #WorkersOverBillionaires #AZProtests #WorkersLaborDay @iamwokeaf.bsky.social
Back at ya!! ❤️
We had the pleasure of listening to Jonathan Nez speak at our Workers Above Billionaires rally and picnic in Cottonwood, AZ. 310 showed up to march and stand together. We listened with hope to our prospective congressman talk. We are in a red area and most passing cars were in support #indivisible

Japan Post just announced they will no longer deliver mail to the United States, joining Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, and Sweden.
Happy Birthday, Clyde!
Russia, Russia, Russia!! HOAX!! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
GO COTTONWOOD!!
Hey Tucson 👋
Eloy has been a disgrace/embarrassment to AZ for quite a while. It's past time to shut ... it ... down.
Kingman AZ is BACK, baby! And they're wisely gathering in the shade because it's currently 90 degrees 🥵 In a ruby red town, this dedicated crew is showing up to protest authoritarianism & support workers' rights! 💪 #AZProtests #WorkersOverBillionaires #WorkersLaborDay #LaborDay
Kingman is working hard! Thank you all!!
AZ CD05 has a new candidate running against Andy Biggs!
Great cred to Jay for producing these newsreels. Really good.
Green Valley AZ celebrates this #LaborDay with all-American defiance of authoritarianism! ✊ #AZProtests #WorkersOverBillionaires #WorkersLaborDay
And a good eye!!

This is worth the read. An entirely new Economic structure is appearing and it cuts out the USA and alot of the West. This will have ramifications for generations. If Trump keeps taking money out, there will be nothing coming in to back fill that debt in a few years. news.sky.com/story/the-ru...
There's some truly frightening points in this article.
Native ppls have had a hard time being included in the voting process of this country for a long time. We can't allow an end to mail-in voting.
Is Russia trying to assassinate EU-leaders too now?
The golden bit of sky near (but not over) Lady Liberty adds a dimension to the photo that intrigues and draws me in. Love the moodiness. I find it calming. TY for posting!
Happy Pro-Labor/Anti-billionaire Day!! Have a great parade!
This is reminding me of when he had COVID and was secretly taken to the hospital ... all very hush, hush. Nothing even posted on Signal about that. (😁)
Agree!
I smell something fishy.
Thank you @krismayes.bsky.social for defending AZ public schools’ students, teachers, & communities! 💪 Arizona, we are SO lucky to have Kris Mayes as our Attorney General. Let’s help her win in 2026 by EXPONENTIALLY more than 280 votes! 🗳️ #POTW #PublicSchoolProud @sosarizona.org
Drunk driving?
Great idea!
Oh! That's good! I think (if I remember right) I've gotten a coupon to shop at Walgreens, which I don't use b/c I won't shop them (only use their pharmacy). Overpriced. I do pick up a few things at Albertsons but mostly use Trader Joe's - their $ are better.
How much $$ was spent on that study and who paid for it? Seriously? I knew that in the 1980's.
I am thankful to live on Tohono O’odham land, but today my greatest thanks & respect goes to the Miccosukee tribe for shutting down Alligator Alcatraz. The photo (by Joe Raedle) is of Betty Osceola, a member of the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida.
They -- and all native pps -- know what it's like to be rounded up and incarcerated just for being who you were created to be. They rounded up Natives, incl Geronimo, and sent them to a vile prison in FL years ago too. Deepest gratitude to them. I'm humbled.
🙄 So much for freedom of choice.
Agree. I know ppl here who cross the border into Mexico for the same reason. I've not done that for medication, but have been to a dentist in Mexico. Top notch at half (literally) price. Says a lot doesn't it? (Like we didn't already know how health care industry is here and how they overprice.)
Thanks! I've used the Walgreens in the same plaza so I know where you're talking about. I'll definitely keep that in mind, neighbor!!
Thanks. Wish we had a choice other than either CVS or Walgreens (which is actually - IMO - not much of a choice).
Ya mean the one Maxwell can't remember a thing about ... except the exact location Epstein kept it in after he received it?
Government Efficiency!!
"American Exceptionalism" is just a show of American arrogance. Let's stop being snobs.
Who do you use, if you don't mind me asking.
Sounds familiar. (Found on FB)
This is repulsive.
Dapper Dan!!!
Yup. Some of what she said defied common sense; what she said about DT was 🤮 (she really did sound like she was at a cabinet meeting just repeating required talking points); and there were inconsistencies in what she said. She was called out on anything. She was coached. B4 and during interview.
Tomorrow: Labor Day events happening across AZ! Come out to protest, march, & declare we support #WorkersOverBillionaires!✊ Find your event here: maydaystrong.com or workerslaborday.org @fiftyfiftyoneaz.bsky.social @indivisibleaz.bsky.social #AZProtests #LaborDay #HandsOffAZ #AZIndivisibles
Ciscomani won his last election by only about 500 votes. He can be defeated.
IMP info on opposition to Project Blue in Pima Co.!
If you're planning to attend the Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday at 9:00 a.m., please: (1) remember to wear red; (2) arrive by 8:30 to sign up if you wish to speak; (2) protest signs can be no larger that 11" x 14". See you there!
You can help stop the SECOND ATTEMPT for a data center in Pima County! More info on Zombie Project Blue: azluminaria.org/2025/08/27/p... Here is the link to comment (steps on what to include in post below👇): efiling.azcc.gov/online-servi...
We need to make this huge to send a message to Trump and friends. Time to spill the tea. #Protest
Thanks! Will look for mom & pop in Tucson, but I don't think we have any. 😡 Glad you have one though!! That's great!
Thanks. Frustrating.
Time to find another pharmacy ... but where? NOT CVS.
Due for mine in Nov. Good to read all the info in the responses to your post. Nothing like info from on the ground.
Neo-Nazis no show to their own rally, as community rallies to oppose them in #Bloomington, #Illinois. "Some of those who showed up said they lived nearby, and they wanted to make it clear that “Nazis were not f---ing welcome in my neighborhood.” www.wglt.org/local-news/2...
⚔️ OSUV Dnipro: "Now the Russian units that went directly to Dobropillya, these "crab claws", have been cut off and surrounded. Therefore, they will not be there for long."
Ukraine looks to finally have hit a target it's been trying to get to most of the week. Authorities in Tula region say "drone debris fell on the territory of a manufacturing enterprise." Kyiv Intel says it destroyed an underground explosives warehouse at the Aleksin Chemical Plant.
But he'll be golfing on Monday? Can't the deadline be extended??? (😁)
At 3 pm Wed., a woman was stabbed just off a busy intersection on H Street, NE. National Guard members were dining al fresco at a taqueria DIRECTLY across the street, yet the suspect got away. "So safe," a local texted us. Our postcard from an Occupied D.C.: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Cool!!!!!!!!!
Me too. Now where's the current Chief of Staff of the USAF and/or the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs on this? Anyone else at the top? Why aren't they speaking out????
My fear abt Dems winning mid-terms: they'll continue playing politics as usual; not do a damn thing to use the power they'll have to push hard on DT + his admin; they'll hold hearings in an attempt to shame cabinet into changing their behavior + make threats abt what they're gonna but really do 0.
Public servants should face the public. So why are federal agents wearing masks to hide their faces? Check out our mobile billboard driving around Washington, D.C. right now demanding federal agents take their masks off!
🌵 TUCSON — Labor Day Community March (Morning) Monday, September 1st — 8:00AM - 9:00AM Reid Park - S Concert Place Entrance (Country Club Rd & Concert Pl) We’ll gather at 8:00AM, arriving at the PALF Labor Day picnic around 9:00AM (DeMeester Performance Center). www.mobilize.us/wfpower/even...
Heads up.
Thank you for posting this and for what you're doing to fight back on this.
The fight to keep Project Blue out of the Pima County is now on.
This was *the* most grotesque and hypocritical individual confirmation vote in the Senate that I've seen in my lifetime. She claimed to be a sexual abuse of military assault survivor and pro-military but yet .... Talk about betrayal.
Looks like such a beautiful city.
Bye bye, Joni. #JoniErnst
I feel so conflicted. OTOH, I'm glad she'll be gone; OTOH, I wish she had run and been booted out. She apparently knows she wouldn't win again and bowed out before further humiliating herself. Regardless she'll be gone soon and that's a good thing.
Yes, they must. Hold the line Mr. Secretary.
An automatic recount was triggered after the Tucson City Council completed a mandated canvass of the primary race between Kevin Dahl and Sadie Shaw.
Arizona’s universal ESA voucher program is rife with fraud and abuse. We must demand that AZ state leaders rein in this out-of-control voucher scheme and fund our public schools! 🚨Use this one-click email tool to tell your AZ lawmakers it’s time to STOP the AZ voucher grift: bit.ly/StopVoucherGrift
I've noticed that recently during Memorial and Veteran Day events that nurses are *finally* beginning to be recognized. It's about time.
Pathetic. news.sky.com/story/us-blo...
SARAH PALIN: "There are going to be death panels!" RFK JR: "Technically, it's just me."
Sure seems like Rs got an ear full during their summer recess. Were they listening????
I never would have guessed it was done on an ipad!!!!
Wow! Impressive and creative "artistic scheming"!! 😀
Ah! Love the simple wisdom and truth of Buddhism. Thank you for sharing.
I think of mums as being in October! I guess b/c where I once lived we had an annual mum fest (mum queen, mum parade, mum homecoming HS football game, etc., etc., etc.)!!! That was in October. This photo brings back memories of the park that was filled with mums and the town celebration of mums!
Can we bring signs?
Got it on my calendar. Unless something unexpected happens I plan to be there. Been expecting/waiting for this. Let's go again, Tucson. This is for the county.
No, President Trump. Forcing seniors with traditional Medicare to get prior approval from AI companies before they can receive the health care they need won’t make America healthy again. It will make AI companies even richer by denying care to seniors. DON’T CUT MEDICARE.
Now what? I'm totally stumped about what happens next with this case - up to SCOTUS I strongly suspect. If they uphold the decision (🤞 and 🙏), how does what he's done already get undone?? Thoughts?
Reuters: MOST TRUMP TARIFFS ARE NOT LEGAL, U.S. APPEALS COURT RULES
Was this done with pastels? Or ...? It's fascinating! I feel a moodiness about it that really brings me right into the piece! I *really* like this! It speaks to me on *so* many levels and in *so* many ways!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks! I needed that!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
OMG, these dogs are *the* best. 😢
Hummers are my favorite bird!! Thank you!
Ya know when you post anything abt the Catskills, Ulster Co., or even NY I time travel in my own mind to when I used to live there or, in the case of Brooklyn/NYC, when I've visited family. I've lived a lot of places for varying lengths of time, but in my ❤️ I'm a New Yorker (w/ Boston being #2).
