Supper-Man!

a.k.a. Klark Can't.

The feeling is mutual! Working with you, @keshiajanay.bsky.social, and everyone else included here is both a tremendous honor and a wonderful pleasure, despite the horror show that's brought us all together!

You are 50501 Arizona. Not 50501. Please cease and desist from using 50501 in Arizona as you do not own that trade name or entity. Thank you.

THE MAN OF STOOL.

3,000+ joined us to fight the GOP budget bill. We’re PERSIST—a growing women- and ally-led movement building political power every day, not just every 4 years.

New here? Welcome. Been here? This is why we persist.

We’re building a permanent home. Rewriting the rules. Reclaiming it all.

This is a joke, right?

I mean, the Onion couldn't come up with this.

And yes, it is authentic.

For everyone's awareness, SCOTUS has given the green light to keep sending people arbitrarily to places they've never been to before, without due process.

In addition to fighting for the rights of immigrants, we are facing serious First Amendment challenges at the administrative immigration courts in Phoenix.

It is the lead front page story in today's Arizona Republic.

Deep Thoughts:

When tRump imports materials from China to build more of the wall, will Mexico pay for the tariffs?

In today’s “Wait A Damn Minute” we expose the truth about Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”:

Trump is pulling a reverse Robin Hood - he’s taking from the poor to give to the ultra-rich.

I’m your Shadow Press Secretary and here are the facts.

In today’s “Wait A Damn Minute!” we share the truth about Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship.

Let’s call it what it is: RACISM.

There's a reason why effective tactics are repeated.

This isn't about today. Each of these demonstrations does not take place in a vacuum. This is about building critical mass to the point that it cannot be ignored or dismissed.

But we are open to ideas. Please share what you're doing to PERSIST!

Today's march from the AZ Capitol to a rally outside the Sandra Day O'Connor Federal Courthouse in Phoenix.
