A suburb of Phoenix is not where one might expect to see a residential development based on emancipation from the dominion of the car.

Reducing car dependency in Arizona matters beyond the borders of the state. All too often those working for more human and environmentally sound planning and transit policies in the USA are met with a simplistic and thought stopping cry of "It might work in Europe, but our geography makes it impossible!"

Local news nothing online. Social media for largest news AZ Central shared good video on Threads but I won’t link here to Threads. We picked up estimate 15k capacity in stadium, 5k capacity overflow area AND thousands outside who never made it in. Bernie and AOC came all the way outside to speak afterwards to remaining crowd. I am still betting all local news will downplay it and those videos on Threads won’t be published online tomorrow. I am sure my guess was pretty good - 15k to 20k or more.

No idea what happened to a post I had this morning, but in recognition of St. Patrick's Day, I have a sign from an Irish pub @ grill to share, Collins. I didn't get to go there and it was good to know that sometime when I get up there next to Flagstaff, I will try it out. I dearly miss "my" Rúla Búla Irish restaurant I went to for over 20 years, Tempe Arizona. It closed and I'll never see the likes of it again. Every St. Patrick's Day, I and my brothers and sisters would each get our own limerick written for us by my full Irish grandfather. It was very special and I still have some saved to this day! Anyway, perhaps my post will wink at any who know this place up North. #IrishPub #Flagstaff #Arizona #RulaBula #Tempe

“The City of Tempe and the Tempe #Police shut down the Tempe Free Market today. This event has been in Daley park for over two years without incident. This market provides free clothing, household necessities and more from local nonprofits and community members.

The City of Tempe and the Tempe police continue to harass community members who are trying to help each other. In a time of economic struggle. Arresting people for feeding the #homeless. Harassing community events that help people who are struggling. Do better Tempe! #tempe #arizona

Look and listen to Chester and Katie, of the Cisco Racecar band, bluegrass music duo. The video was taken so you can go sound up to hear fine mandolin and cello duo we enjoyed in Tempe Arizona today. The photo, closer in. 2 part thread.

Be sure to see the first comment after this post to hear the music.

#Arizona's Universities are Instruments of War

The United States provides more than 70% of the funds and weapons used for #WarCrimes and #genocide in #Palestine. Arizona universities are a backbone of the war industry.

by Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Oct. 31, 2024

TUCSON, Arizona -- "When Arizona's largest universities slammed down on Palestine supporters, it was obvious they were hiding something. What they were hiding was the fact that they are thriving on war dollars.

"The most obvious is Raytheon Missiles located at the #UniversityOfArizona's Tech Park in Tucson. The less obvious are the millions in grants and contracts that both the University of Arizona and #ArizonaStateUniversity receive for technology, including cyber technology, artificial intelligence and robotics.

"While slamming down on #Palestinian support -- and shooting them with #RubberBullets in #Tucson and denying some graduation at #ASU in the #PhoenixValley -- both universities were heading up a national coalition of U.S. universities to support Israel, after the genocide was underway.

"Arizona State University in #Tempe, in the Phoenix Valley, has gone to the extreme to silence voices in support of Palestine. Besides forbidding pro-Palestine rallies, its harsh crackdown on encampments has resulted in 62 Palestine supporters now facing charges."

At a rally in #Tempe, #Arizona, #Trump cast most #journalists as “the #enemy of the people”—a common refrain of his since 2016.

Trump has repeatedly labeled American citizens as enemies; this week he referred to Reps #NancyPelosi & #AdamSchiff, 2 California #Democrats, as enemies “from within.”

His fmr WH chief of staff, #JohnKelly, decided to speak out against Trump after he said he’d use the US #military to “handle” the “enemy from within.”
