For years, a Phoenix nonprofit has run a mail room for thousands of homeless people, who use the address for job applications, for medication, to receive benefits like food stamp cards and even to vote.

Now the U.S. Postal Service is cutting its $24,000 investment, leaving the organization to raise the extra money to keep it open.

#Trump has been forthright about his intention to bring about a #DeathPenalty renaissance, & now his efforts are coming to fruition. This yr has been a particularly lethal one for the #US’ #DeathRow prisoners. Together, #Alabama, #Arizona, #Florida, #Indiana, #Louisiana, #Mississippi, #Missouri, #Oklahoma, #SouthCarolina, #Tennessee, & #Texas have executed a total of 40 people in the past 10 months by injection, nitrogen hypoxia, & firing squad, surpassing 2024’s total of 25—a significant spike…

Arizona police agencies are largely rejecting an ICE program that lets officers act as deportation agents, citing the experience of the state’s largest sheriff’s office where the program ended after a federal judge found civil rights violations.

Advocates say some tactics used by officers to target Latinos in Trump’s deportation effort draw from Joe Arpaio’s playbook.

> Arizona No Kings protests Trump Capitol Phoenix draw tens of thousands as inflatable costumes become resistance symbol

We had several great #NoKings protests in various locations around Tucson today. The one I was at stretched for a mile, along both sides of the road. It may not even have been the main one. I'm all for joyful protests full of hippies of all ages wearing unicorn costumes or tie-dye! In addition to the usual themes, there were a lot of signs saying "Swear Her In" referring to our unseated house representative, Adelita Grijalva. #Tucson #Arizona

Adelita Grijalva has been duly elected by the people of Arizona's 7th District. She won in a LANDSLIDE!

The people are without representation right now. They are disenfranchised because the House Speaker is acting in a corrupt and unlawful manner. Adelita Grijalva must be sworn in.

There were 88 of us at #NoKings La Paz County #Arizona this morning: no hecklers, no noticeable provacateurs, and a nice, diverse crowd.

I didn't take pictures, but there will be plenty on Facebook and (I hope) in the Desert Messenger or on Rain's Substack.

Be it ever so humble, there's no place like #quartzsite

#Tucson #Arizona all along Speedway from Tucson, Ave to Coffee Times both sides of the road were packed. Tons of cars honking and waving in solidarity. Only one fat idiot on a Harley heckled. Extremely polite, friendly and enjoyable environment.
