Last Week This Morning: Time for a $4,000 vacation

by Abigail Jackson

Trump comes to AZ. President Trump’s Arizona trip featured lots in the way of misinformation and racist rhetoric and little in the way of COIVD-19 protections.

Another nightmare, this time in Tucson. Tucson police brutally murdered Carlos Adrian Ingram Lopez, then kept it secret for two months. 

How Arizona lost control of the epidemic. Arizona’s botched coronavirus response is an outrage.

Ah, yes, this is just the time. Martha McSally’s answer to our unfolding national crisis? Tax credits for people who take $4,000 vacations.  

“I don’t wear a mask for the same reason I don’t wear underwear”. These insane comments and conspiracy theories about masks would be funny if they weren’t so…worrying. 

Register to vote. You must registered by July 6 to vote in the August primary. Check if your friends and family are registered and ask them to register now if they’re not!  

Free them all. On July 4th, join Puente and local artists in calling for an end to immigration detention.

We keep us safe

Public pressure works. Although the Trump administration continues to push violent and dangerous anti-immigrant rhetoric, the last week has shown that our consistent defiance is beginning to pay off.
