It’s not your fault you’re disabled. It’s not your fault you’re chronically ill. It’s not your fault you’re living in poverty, lacking health insurance, homeless or unemployed. The billionaire class wants us to believe these are moral failings so they don’t have to help people. We should help.

I accidentally killed a palo verde beetle at work today and I feel so horrible. I stg I didn’t see it because if I did I would have known I was stuck in the kiosk with a palo verde beetle and I would’ve had to Stay Calm. But I didn’t know and I stepped on it :(

The Council meets again August 4. The group wants calls before then asking for a public hearing. Mayor Kevin Sartor: 623-222-1313. Council: 623-222-1321 to 1326 #Arizona #Surprise 2/2

Northwest Valley Indivisible says the proposed ICE detention facility in Surprise is paused but not stopped, and that the Mayor and Council met privately with Sen. Gallego about it before recess without telling residents what was said. ⬇️ 1/2

PACK THE CHAMBERS: Stop the ICE Prison Camp in Surprise · Northwest Valley Indivisible

The proposed ICE facility in Surprise is paused but not stopped. ICE is still moving forward with a violent mass incarceration operation across the country and could use Surprise as their base of operations in this area or as a detention center. What has the Surprise City Council done to stop this? It's time to demand their action and public opposition. The Mayor and City Council met with Senator Ruben Gallego about the ICE Prison Camp. Surprise residents still have not had a chance to hear about that meeting and weigh in. We have two jobs this week. **1 - CALL TODAY** Tell the Mayor and every council member to put a public hearing on the agenda: what was discussed with Senator Gallego, and what happens to this community if the facility opens. That means straight answers on safety for detainees and nearby residents. The site sits inside the chemical release exposure zone of the Rinchem plant. Dysart High School is 0.6 miles away. And the city's own Fire Marshal has confirmed in writing that no emergency planning conversations have taken place. If they have time to meet a U.S. Senator, they have time to share with and hear from the residents who live near this thing. - Mayor Kevin Sartor: 623-222-1313 - Nick Haney (D1): 623-222-1321 - Earle Greenberg (D2): 623-222-1322 - Patrick Duffy (D3): 623-222-1323 - Johnny Melton (D4): 623-222-1324 - Jack Hastings (D5): 623-222-1325 - Chris Judd (D6): 623-222-1326 **2 - SHOW UP AND SPEAK** Come to the meeting on August 4. Fill every seat. [Sign up to speak](https://surpriseaz-services.app.transform.civicplus.com/forms/24865) and tell the council, on the record, to stop the ICE Prison Camp. Other cities pressured DHS and got these sites pulled. Surprise can do the same. The silence from City Hall is a choice that enables DHS to abuse their power. Those who sign up to speak should focus on what city leadership can do: - Clarify their opposition to the proposed facility. - Refuse voluntary cooperation with ICE. - Coordinate multi-jurisdictional opposition. - Demand federal accountability. Not a Surprise resident? This affects you too! The opening of this facility will enable increased ICE activity across the state. Sign up to speak, join us in chambers, and if full, protest outside. Recommended sign messages (no sticks allowed inside!): - No Fear! No ICE! No Cages in Surprise! - Stand With Us, Not With ICE! - Do What's Right! Say NO Tonight! - No ICE in Surprise!

After we published this interview the NYT went out of its way to try to smear us and bury it. And here we are, stronger than ever, about to hit our fundraising goal thanks to a wave of support. Trans journalism will never die. transnewsnetwork.networkforgood.com/projects/302...

Reminder that we published an extensive interview with a former editor at The New York Times who laid out, in detail, how the paper's pushing of anti-trans bigotry was both very intentional and directed from the very top of the organization. The NYT plays a direct and major role in trans genocide:
