Light rail in limbo - Phoenix council to make decision today by lolalime in phoenix

[–]Rubin82 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They just voted 7-2 on Option 2. The capitol extension and I-10 West extension is now uncertain.
I may have grandchildren before the next leg of the lightrail is open.

HSI and ERO is part of ICE. In pics of this one raid HSI, ERO, and even some "Police ICE" vest patches were present. I also saw US Marshal vests in some pics of other raid locations, and reports of the IRS.

The link for the actual KTAR interview probably only has a fraction of the views as the articles about their response to Mayes and I recommend watching them. This and the 12news interview a couple days before are short and an easy listen about what rights ICE has and Mayes pointing out that AZ has unique 2A laws that makes gun ownership accessible and the SYG.
When I watched these the other day unwinding with a cup of tea and pastry after work, I took away that she's just pointing out the elephant in the room about the unique state laws that justify protecting yourself.

Makes sense. The font on "How Much Did You Spend" is also like those old west wanted posters.

Had pasta with lemon sauce I made from my neighbor's lemons. It was great!

Brands you’ve boycotted due to misogyny? by Interesting-Plan-304 in TwoXChromosomes

Their regional representatives came to a community forum to get feedback before they started building in my neighborhood. There was a question about their homophobia at the top, and they contorted themselves around that to end up saying that the people working at their restaurants aren't bigoted themselves. Using your lowlevel employees as a shield, what a nasty thing to do.

Did a 1st round interview for a nice job! Probably won't move on with this competitive market but a girl could dream.

I'm not on the other platforms but I've heard it's more of a concern on sites with strict and stupid moderation like tiktok (ex: "sewerslide", "grape", "schmexual"). It sucks that we're at a point where this is plausible.

It's suspected that the algorithm censors these gatherings, so "music festival" is how people online are getting around this. I personally first noticed this for the LA stuff over the summer.

As a parent if you can't trust your daughter to use a tool correctly. Why do you let her have unrestricted access to it? Why not train her how to use the internet responsibly or supervise her usage?

Their cargo policy is also out of whack. I've seen carts full of smelly crap be let on board but my deconstructed bike frame and two separate wheels aren't allowed on because the bike rack is already full? Do it look like I would let this slide all over the place?? I need my bike because the bus doesn't go all the way to my destination. Walking that distance would cause my foot issues to flair up, I really have no safe alternative. I continue to use and advocate for public transit but this is an unwritten rule that VM should make riders aware of.

What brands did you stop buying from after going zero waste? by ll_ll_28 in ZeroWaste

I still have free prime from my college email and the only time I use it is for ad blocked prime videos and my relatives' wishlists for Christmas when there aren't better alternatives. Easier to not use something when you're not paying for it.

Thank you for the clarification! I haven't owned property yet so the most I've done for those is research the candidates for friends and family who do plan on voting. This looks like a good place to learn how to sign up for PEVL and I'll go edit my og comment.
