Biden to sign executive order limiting asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border
  • Its the center-right that Biden is aiming for and has been the whole time. He's always been that way, his cabinet better represents the constituency than he does. Its a big part of why he was the VP for Obama, to appease old white guys.

    The people on the right for whom Trump is too extreme or distasteful are the voters they are hoping to pick up , the people they lose by going too right are not going to vote for the republican anyways. Question is if its a good calculation or not.

    A judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by Arizona’s schools chief that challenged programs that some school districts use to teach non-English speaking students.

    Judge tosses challenge of Arizona programs that teach non-English speaking students

    In a ruling Tuesday, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Katherine Cooper concluded Horne lacked the statutory authority and legal standing to file the lawsuit and that he failed to state legal claims against Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes and 10 school districts.

    Horne plan for PragerU videos for Arizona schools called ‘irresponsible’
  • Despite its name, PragerU is not a university but is instead a nonprofit media organization that “offers a free alternative to the dominant left-wing ideology in culture, media, and education,” according to its website. The videos, which it describes as “edutainment,” feature content from prominent right-wing activists like Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk.

    A report from NBC News said some of PragerU’s children’s content includes a video of an animated Frederick Douglass praising the Founding Fathers for not outlawing slavery. Other videos downplay climate change and ridicule the Black Lives Matter movement.

  • What price, Home Depot? City set to give big-box store $2.4m in tax breaks
  • "Home Depot's 93-year-old cofounder who said 'nobody works' anymore because of 'socialism' has donated $64 million to elect Trump and the Republican party over the years"

    "'Just give it to me. Send me money. I don't want to work — I'm too lazy, I'm too fat, I'm too stupid,'" he said, adding that he thinks if he founded Home Depot today it may not have been as successful.

  • Some don't like the NewsBot, - and the points are pretty valid. Should we remove it?
  • I use the Local filter and its pretty much just local news, that works for me but if people are making posts locally they are getting crowded out. If there was a way to give precedence to user posts that would be welcome . I could see the amount of automatic content that is ideal could change as the number of users posting and engaging changes.

    Generating revenue from tucson.social or external means? Do you have a plan for that at this point?

    How did last year's summer/monsoon compare to average?

    This is my second year in Tucson, I made it through last summer mostly unscathed but I don't know if it was an easy summer compared to what's typical.
