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.

#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.

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?

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.
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.

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

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.

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.
