Last Week This Morning: A terrifying act of arson

by Abigail Jackson

A terrifying act of arson. Someone set fire to the Phoenix headquarters of the Democratic Party early Friday morning. The offices of the Maricopa County Democrats were completely destroyed.  

What is happening in Portland? The use of federal agents as a de facto internal security force is horrifying. And it has its roots in our systems of criminalization and deportation.

Finally. The Confederate monument at the state capitol is gone. 

“¡Basta Trump!” Mi Familia Vota says: enough.

Vote! If you received your ballot by mail, mail your ballot by July 29 for the August 4 state primary election! Or use the One Arizona polling place locator to figure out where to vote early in person.

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.
