Republican Sabotage Transit in Phoenix
YouTube video by HistorySock
youtu.be
My latest video:
Republicans have sabotaged transit in Maricopa County. From appointing transit board members who never show up to creating unreachable goals and sabotaging light rail through Prop 479, this is unacceptable. Also, Aliens. And a republican says school bus stops are entrapment.

Our leading news organizations turned a cache of ultimately-innocuous emails into a scandal-coded weeklong series of front page stories leading into the 2016 election. If they do not cover the "emails from notorious pedophile implication the President" emails with the same fervor, it's curious!

I had to use a VPN to submit my PhD thesis to the university repository.
The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.
The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.

Anyway one of the populations this place is aimed at is TAY, Transition-Aged Youth, young people aging out of the foster system, and you can imagine how THAT is going over. Most of the people there are going to be, like, teachers teaching the younger kids.
Nothing like a proposal for a modest amount of lower-income housing nearby to find out who your neighbors are.

If you're looking around thinking "if Trump & the Republicans cause enough suffering, there will be backlash & accountability," I would direct your attention to the UK. Hard to think of any country in history so clearly, demonstrably, theatrically fucked by a single party ... and yet.
The thing to understand about this is that this catastrophe in the UK has redounded to the political benefit of the very same people and political movement that pushed for it! Extremely perverse.
I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?

The national level Democratic Party sold out everyone of these people and the state governments who represent them.
We followed a court order and worked quickly to make sure that nearly 700,000 Wisconsinites who rely on FoodShare, including about 270,000 kids, had food to eat.
Now, President Trump wants to yank that money away from hungry kids, families, and seniors in Wisconsin? Hell no.
