Arizona Republicans are moving to criminalize community activists sharing real-time ICE alerts, with Senate Bill 1635 making “unlawful alerting” a class 1 misdemeanor—punishable by six months in jail and $2,500. While activists use social media to warn residents about federal immigration agents—especially amid aggressive deportation efforts—Republicans see it as obstruction, pushing back with threats of prosecution and even calls for investigations. Despite legal protections under the First Amendment, some officials aim to silence these warnings, but legal experts confirm free speech rights remain protected. The lengths the GOP will go through to help Trump is truly astonishing: https://azmirror.com/2026/02/19/arizona-republicans-back-bill-to-jail-people-for-blowing-whistles-to-warn-of-ice-presence/ #FreeSpeech #Immigration #Activism #CivilRights #ArizonaPolitics #firstamendment

Ya know, I'd love to go get an updated COVID shot, but they're not free for the uninsured anymore.

If I could afford insurance, or the cost of a shot, I would've made an appointment the day they came out.

Oh, and Arizona's healthcare system for those of humble means is a cruel joke.

This is a shame. Lamb is certainly someone who believes in a lot of stuff I can't vote for, but at least he would have made this a good campaign. Lake is just going to whine about fake election fraud and judges and the media, as well as espousing all kinds of fake conspiracy theory bullshit.

I mourn the loss of actual issues.

Of course she's a Republican. They only believe in law & order as long as it doesn't apply to them.

And of course the police brass would chicken out to the extent that they didn't even cite her.

Hiver her a criminal speeding ticket (70 in a 35!) and let the courts sort it out.

Gee, who would've thought that letting rich people use taxpayer public school money to send their kids to private schools would have had such an effect on both the budget and public schools?

Oh right, EVERY-FUCKING-BODY WHO OPPOSED THIS PIECE OF SHIT LAW.

School Vouchers Were Supposed to Save Taxpayer Money. Instead They Blew a Massive Hole in Arizona’s Budget.

Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, has spent so much money paying private schoolers’ tuition that it’s now facing hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects.
