This is my shocked face😐Extremists are hoping to trick AZ voters into voting against our best interests AND against what we just overwhelmingly voted for, to boot. It won’t work. #Abortionishealthcare #AZforaccess

A friend’s students asked me to speak to their Linguistics Club today and between the fact that there’s a linguistics club at a high school 🤩⁉️ and the students being so curious, bright & passionate, it was the best thing I’ve done in months. Can we hurry up & hand the keys over to the kids please?

I’m here at the House of Representatives for Opening Day of the 57th #AZLeg and the Governor’s State of the State. Up first, affordability & access to “the Arizona promise”

Just wrapped the last class of Fall 2024! 🥳 Someone asked me recently how long I’ve been a professor, which prompted me to actually figure it out: 15.5 years! It feels like forever & the blink of an eye all at once

It’s officially official! Thank you Gov. Hobbs for spotlighting the Arizonans who made Prop. 139, the Constitutional right to abortion care, possible! There are thousands more who quote couldn’t fit in the rotunda, but every single one of you are part of this historic win 💜

This was a super informative segment, and by super informative I mean deeply terrifying
Former Arizona public health director Will Humble on potential impact of RFK Jr. & Oz picks on Arizonans' wellbeing.
Data points:
-AZ childhood vaccination rates already trending downward.
-More than half of all AZ residents have govt-supported health insurance.

I haven’t heard a 2026 challenger speculation yet that I’m excited about or even intrigued by, just the usual egos

I made a nascent #Arizona 🌵 politics starter pack of people who simply cannot help but post about it. Please let me know if you should be added, or when more folks from the other place show up here: go.bsky.app/T12XXSx

Sincere question: How will we know when it’s safe to leave The Bad Place and not miss out on breaking political news & follow-ups? What metric are folks using to gauge when to delete, or are you not considering that? I’d love to know!
