Arizonans are among the worst when it comes voting in primary elections, so I made a voting guide for the #PrimaryElection coming up on July 21st to help fix that!

Read the whole thing at that link ☝️. Here's the summary:

My approach to primaries is two-fold:

1. Put as many progressive candidates on the ballot for the General Election in November as possible

2. Scare the living shit out of centrist Democratic candidates so they adopt progressive policies that will resonate with disenfranchised people who don't see the need to voting for feckless Democrats

Something I wish more well-meaning people understood.

“The InfoWars of tomorrow will converge into a swirling vortex of content about content, talent acquiring talent, rings of concentric media mergers processing all human artistry into one endlessly digestible slurry. This will be a dank, sunless place, one where panic and capital feed on each other like twins in the womb of a hulking, unknowable monster—a monster known by many names, but which I like to call modern-day America.”

“Amid renewed suspicions of election fraud as the midterm elections near, a review of voting in #Arizona’s 2024 presidential election found only a sliver of the votes cast were possibly fraudulent.

Only 28 of the 3.6 million ballots cast were flagged as potentially illegal by an organization that crosschecks Arizona voter data with other states. That works out to 0.0000083% of total ballots.”

#voterFraud continues to be not a thing. Who knew? 🤷

This is the best article I've read about podcast monetization in a very long time, and I HATE talking about podcast monetization!

https://podnews.net/article/intimacy-over-scale

Programmatic ads really only bring in meaningful revenue when they get 100s of 1000s of impressions a month, which forces podcasters to cram 9 or more ads into each episode.

But direct sponsorship is quite different. Better for listeners, the creator, and the sponsor.

Religion apologists: Stop making fun of our very serious decrees!

Atheists: Lol, nah.

@WarnerCrocker

All too true. But we have something they do not—the ability to think ahead farther than 30 seconds. 😏

“Their injury is entirely hypothetical: Plaintiffs claim that including ineligible voters on the rolls ‘heightens the risk’ of ineligible ballots being cast and counted by offering ineligible voters ‘an opportunity’ to vote, ‘risking the dilution’ of plaintiffs’ ballots,’” the court wrote. “Plaintiffs may not ‘manufacture standing merely based on their fears of hypothetical future harm that is not certainly impending.’”

Agents of the U.S. Government are killing people right here in the U.S. and facing no accountability.

It’s getting increasingly more difficult to not break out the torches, pitchforks, and guillotines.

Happy birthday to my amazing wife, Dr. @SheilaDee.

Here we are pictured as two kids playing dress up in a mine or something from the late 80s.

Involved with #activism in #Arizona like me? You should follow @AZAdvocacyHub.

It’s a new account (no, not run by me) that’s surfacing great local #progressive info for #Phoenix and beyond.

Share with your fellow AZ friends, would you?

Hey, USian Democratic elected officials:

This is what we want •you• to be saying, believe in, and follow thru on.

Do this. Put it on repeat. That’s how you get (at least some of) the 1/3rd of registered voters who don’t vote to get off their asses and vote in the midterms.

Ignore the Democratic Strategists and their tired old ideas that are about keeping the status quo.

Enough is enough.

Hey, #Phoenix! Come join us at an anti-ICE rally and protest on Central Avenue, going on right now!

(And by us I mean me and Thomas right now. But we’d love to have you too! We’ll be here until 730 tonight.)

#Protest #Resist #Activism

Ha! The #Sinema effect in full display as #Chandler rejects the AI data center she was paid to lobby for.

It’s not often I have positive things to say about that city, so I gotta give props when I can!

“Homeland Security sources confirm that Border Patrol teams under Commander Gregory Bovino will change tactics in their ongoing enforcement operations.

Instead of sweeping raids like those that have taken place at locations including Home Depot, agents will now be narrowing their focus to specific targets, such as illegal immigrants convicted of heinous crimes.”

What a novel concept. ICEholes.

The U.S. Military almost collided with a JetBlue passenger headed to the U.S. earlier today at 34,000 feet.

Why? They had their transponder turned off, as part of the war against Venezuela.
