THIS is the last day (Friday) to submit comments to the AZ Corporation Commission composed of 4 Rs and 1 D that will decide on the approval of a “hyperscale data center” in Tucson that has already been overwhelmingly rejected by the people. Why? www.eesi.org/articles/vie...

Arizona, we need your help! Tomorrow is the last day to submit public comments to the Arizona Corporation Commission before against the deal between TEP and Beale to build a hyperscale data center (Project Blue) east of Tucson. We have a guide on our website on what to say. nodesertdatacenter.com
Our privately owned electric utility, TEP, and a developer, Beale Infrastructure, disregarded overwhelming community opposition for a proposed hyperscale data center east of Tucson. TEP has a proposal with the Arizona Corporation Commission that they'll vote on next week. Here's what you can do.

Inclusivity is key to democracy. This means equal voting rights in our politics, but it can't end there. The economy also affects us in many ways.

What does inclusivity mean in the context of economics? It means inclusivity in ownership, the vehicle of economic power. It means worker ownership.

In Arizona, voters chose community organizer Miranda Schubert to represent Ward 6 on the Tucson City Council, according to unofficial results.
DSA support helped progressive Schubert win Tucson City Council seat
The democratic socialist’s policy positions could shift the balance of high-profile council debates.

In his debut poetry collection, Borderlings, McSpadden uses his poetry to express witnessing militarization at the border wall and the effects it has on the Sonoran desert's ecology. 🌵🐌

A snap from a pro dev writing session I facilitated with Tucson arts teachers last week — staying connected with our creativity and purpose so as to help our students find theirs.

I love this work.

Definitely one of the most ridiculously dangerous crosswalks in town. I was heartbroken to hear that one of my former students was one of the victims.

I just want to know how much longer this money laundering ponzi scheme that will ruin the water supply is going to run. Can we wrap it up yet?
