If you’ve been watching TV lately, or doom-scrolling on social media, you know there are some seriously wild and scary-sounding claims being made right now around Arizona’s election results. The reality is this: President-elect Joe Biden and Senator Mark Kelly won in Arizona, thanks in large part to incredible organizing led by grassroots groups rooted […]
No confirmation before inauguration. Amy Coney Barrett is among the most extreme nominees Trump could have chosen. What her confirmation means, and how we fight back. Our democracy is on the line. If the results are close on November 3rd, our democracy will be in serious danger. It’s more important than ever to vote Trump out in truly overwhelming numbers – […]
Trump just announced that Amy Coney Barrett will be his nominee to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, just one week after RBG’s death. In 2016, McConnell spent 11 months refusing to confirm Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court because the timing was “too close” to a presidential election. Now, Trump and McConnell […]
This isn’t the new normal. Because it’s going to get worse. Fires across the West and record-breaking heat in Arizona are an absolutely terrifying reminder of what our future currently has in store. Our politics desperately need to catch up. It’s time to flip AZ. Republicans in the state legislature keep making the news for promoting conspiracy theories and making vile comments.

Between the pandemic, the economic crisis and […]

An ASU Republican club even started raising money for the legal defense of the Kenosha shooter. Climate changed. Dealing with extreme heat in Phoenix and fires across Arizona and the West. “They kill with impunity.” Families of victims of […]
The support from Arizona Republican legislators for extremist, right wing violence is horrifying. If you live in Surprise, Sun City or Peoria, you’re represented in the state legislature by David Livingston, who has been defending the Kenosha shooter on social media. If you live in Chandler or Gilbert, you could be represented next year by […]
Where the ballot measures stand. Invest in Ed and marijuana legalization will be on the November ballot, while initiatives related to healthcare and sentencing reform will not. An effort to keep outbreak numbers artificially low in Arizona’s prisons. Inmates in Yuma say that they were threatened with violence and repercussions if they got tested for COVID-19. The Phoenix police mocked Muhammad […]
“Unconstitutional slop.” Yesterday, Trump announced a series of legally dubious and likely unworkable executive orders on unemployment, payroll taxes and evictions. The executive orders come after months of Republicans in Congress refusing to negotiate over COVID-19 relief and then blocking Democratic proposals for being too generous. “Protecting” people with pre-existing conditions. Trump also issued an executive order to replicate something […]
