Rs bring up D candidates pro-trans rights records. This contradicts claims fom left that Ds were always firmly anti-trans. In Turek's case, his record seems more pro everybody than mainly pro-trans equality. Sad how US takes stepping stones to get to what is right instead of full leaps of faith.

Med experts & math geeks: If Americans put all the money they pay insurance companies into taxes instead, would that be enough to cover the cost of basic universal healthcare? 2024, per capita healthcare spending: $13K $13k x 300M ppl = $3.9B 2024 Health insurance industry profits: $71 Billion

#Phoenix Which intersection do you want to fuck up for two+ years: Camelback and 19th Ave, or Indian School and 19th Ave? Currently, Camelback & 19th, imo, is already set up to better accommodate the changes than 19th and Indian School.

Valley Metro staff will be presenting a technical analysis of the two alignment options into the existing rail network in Phoenix. One option would join the network at Indian School Road and Central Avenue, while the other would join at 19th Avenue and Camelback Road.

I really do think you should vote. Your actual vote is secret, but the fact that you voted is not. Being a regular voter means campaigns will try to win you over. The more trans people are regular voters the more likely it is that candidates will worry about needing to win our votes.

Good. Get the fucking Republicans away from AZ schools. They've repeatedly proven they are corporate ass-kissing, evangelical, bigots who have no place deciding what's good for AZ students.

The next state superintendent faces declining enrollment, high teacher turnover, stagnating student test scores and low spending in public schools, even as the state’s universal school voucher program costs more than $1 billion a year.

Arizona's grid could expand faster in the next few years than at any other point in recent history, and it's almost all going to new data centers. How are the state's two largest utilities managing this boom— and who pays?

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

The Kremlin says three-way talks with Ukraine and the US may resume in mid-November, likely in Abu Dhabi. Putin, meanwhile, called Ukraine's occupied regions “historical Russia.” euromaidanpress.com/2026/10/24/p...

Even better, DO NOT approach other people's dogs, and put your kid on a leash. As you pass, you can take a sneaky side glance, do a tiny "Squee!" in your head, but then keep on walkin', bub.

Johnathan Perkins@johnathanperk.bsky.social

For some reason, ppl have stopped teaching children to ask permission before approaching dogs. Random lady just let her kid bound up to the Hounds/me despite my protestation, assuring “It’s okay! We have big dogs at home!” Don’t do this‼️ALWAYS ask before approaching dogs. Basic social interaction.

I wish everyone knew this ❤️

People are like "be careful of that trans woman, she was socialised male so she's dangerous" and then you look at her and see the most timid creature in the world who has never heard "I love you" from someone who didn't hurt her

Touch screen tech is glitchy y'all. It's not a conspiracy.

UncleBob@14767977.bsky.social

So the area that was defined to 'listen' for the touch, on the first (Republican) line, is too large and overlapping the area that was defined for the second (Democrat) line. You have to define where the user can touch so the program can listen for the touch. It's poor programming. Just sayin'

An important read, especially for folks in AZ. When you see someone acting erratically when temps are high, don’t automatically assume it’s just drugs. Heat almost always plays a role & these delays in getting the proper medical treatment is killing people. www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/what-dy...

phoenixnewtimes.comThis is what dying of heat looks likeHeat is a silent killer, but in the lead-up, it can be violent. Often the signs and symptoms are mistaken for other emergencies.

There are just 8 more days of early in-person voting. Here’s a list of some early voting sites in the largest counties in AZ-02. Just bring a valid ID and make your voice heard in this crucial election. #warriorup

This makes picking judges sooo much easier. Read it carefully. If you can't find a judge, a quick web search should do. Some of the hyphenated names are alphabetized by the wrong surname, so check list first. #MaricopaCounty #Arizona #Elections intellectualconservative.com/articles/how...

Do NOT get @aspca.org pet insurance. It's garbage. They make you add preventaive care for exams, meds, vax, but never apply toward deductible; their app glitches constantly; customer service is a pain; they doubled premiums overnight w no warning, no increased coverage, and zero explantion.

He isn't though. If he was, the map of 'which states are reliably safe for LGBTQ+ people' wouldn't be a near perfect match to 'which states are primarily run by the GOP'.

It used to be that people had a problem inferring ideas in text from the context. Reading for comprehension was lacking. Now, people add stuff between the lines to get something completely different than what is said. It appears to be based on the reader's bias coming in and the brevity of the text.
