I'm hella conservative.
I want to conserve the nature of this glorious planet we find ourselves on by having fucking Glen Canyon Dam be utterly demolished.

Food bank demand in Arizona is climbing as SNAP cuts and new benefit-verification rules push more people toward assistance.
Those cuts came out of the federal budget bill. GATHER is walking through what that bill has actually done here, one year in, and what is still coming. Goodyear, August 12, 6:00 PM. The exact address goes out after RSVP.

The crypto industry has spent $189 million on the 2026 midterms, more than in all of 2024, much of it pushing the CLARITY Act. Indivisible says the bill strips out ethics rules that stop officials from profiting off the industry they regulate.
Gallego voted to advance it out of committee. Kelly has not taken a position.

Spoiler candidates suck. Especially Republicans who switch to Green five days before the deadline to file.
Deceitful practices are a staple of these asshats. Please stop voting for them.

The July 21 primary is close and ballots are out. Before you vote, it is worth knowing who funds the candidates.

Anti data center sediment is not a right/left issue. All 6 candidates for local government in the strongly GOP leaning Mojave Valley (Bullhead City / Laughlin) are against them... And it's front page news.

Food Not Bombs PHX was evicted from its ASU patio in April. The group relocated to the historic Louis Emerson House in Phoenix but ASU is now pursuing eminent domain to seize that building too.
When a university uses institutional power to displace a community food program twice in three months, we see a pattern worth naming. Sign the petition demanding accountability: https://act.progressarizona.org/go/95544

Mom moved to Texas and took another $30k from Arizona for school vouchers
'“She moved to Texas and she didn’t bother to tell us and so she kept getting ESA money,” Horne said.'
So vouchers aren't needs based and you don't need to prove you're eligible. That explains why Horne lets school voucher money be used for bikinis and vacations

FYI, there’s just a couple days left in Phoenix’s SRP election! This is what the 10 million Turning Point USA signs plastered all over the valley are about.
Those signs tell you which candidates are fascist dirtbags who want to kill your neighbors for data center money, but who should you vote *for*?
Behold! The janky low-budget website of the clean energy folks who need your votes!

(PS!! It’s too late to mail in your ballot because post-marking doesn’t count anymore, so you’ll have to drop it off or vote in person!) -
When the AZ GOP isn't trying to reduce anti-fraud funding or remove citizens' right to influence government through the initiative process, they are passing legislation to ban "chemtrails".
"One speaker who said he was a doctor, said large commercial-sized jets, outfitted with special tanks, are spraying strontium, aluminum, barium and mercury at high altitudes worldwide."
These nutters are everywhere.
