hanse_mina, The first batch of Ukrainian pilots have graduated from F-16 training at an #Arizona military base, a crucial step toward putting modern, American-made fighter jets in Ukraine’s skies, Capt. ERIN HANNIGAN, a spokesperson with the Air National Guard, told.
The pilots are now headed to Europe for additional training, according to a person with knowledge of their movements.

SteveHendersonFineArt, You can't gulp down scalding hot coffee -- no matter how much of a hurry you're in, you have to either slowly sip and savor, or set the cup aside until it cools down.
Morning coffee is a welcoming opportunity to slowly sip and savor morning itself, to give ourselves a moment -- brief or prolonged -- to wake up, along with the day, calmly.

Npars01, @KatM @mastodonmigration @GottaLaff
Lawrence O'Donnell guests last night pointed out how Trump's fans at his court case include thugs & brutish felons.
That's what a fascist movement looks like, thugs, criminals, opportunists, traitors, grifters, collaborators, and quislings.
GottaLaff, “Arraignments of #Giuliani & 10 other allies of #Trump were underway on Tues in #Arizona criminal case that charges them with trying to keep Trump in power after he lost pres election.
A total of 50 people — incl Trump — now face charges related to election interference in four states. A number of Trump allies have already pleaded guilty or reached cooperation agreements in cases in Georgia and Michigan.”
Danetteb, @GottaLaff this is great but intensifies their desire (& need) for Trump to win by any means necessary (read: overturning the election or whatever) so they are pardoned.
StandUp2Fascism, @GottaLaff Giuliani looks like he is in a community theater production of Guys and Dolls.
RealJournalism, Failing #Arizona Rep. Austin Smith dropped his reelection bid after it was found that he forged at least 100 petition signatures to get on the 2024 ballot. Hey Donald -- This is real election fraud. https://azmirror.com/briefs/house-ethics-committee-drops-complaint-against-gop-rep-accused-of-signature-fraud/
RealJournalism, Don't send your kids to Farmington (NM). That school district had personnel rip the Native American headdress off of an #Indigenous student who was graduating from school. Protecting Native American headgear at graduations is a priority supported by both parties. #Arizona Governor Doug Ducey signed a measure into law. Elections matter. It is time for Ranked Choice Voting so that extremists don't hijack our schools. #NewMexico https://azmirror.com/2024/05/17/navajo-leaders-outraged-after-an-indigenous-students-tribal-regalia-was-removed-at-her-graduation/

Npars01, Guiliani is walking free for the same reasons Ken Paxton is walking free.
Powerful friends shielding Republicans from the consequences of their actions.
The obvious depth & breadth of this seditious conspiracy against democracy continues to astonish.
It took $3 million in bribes to thwart Paxton's impeachment.

jnye,
GottaLaff, "Nearly 3weeks ago, #Giuliani was charged in #Arizona in connection with actions he allegedly took after the 2020 presidential election to try to reverse #Trump's loss in the state. Two state attorney general agents traveled to New York to hand-deliver a summons to Giuliani but weren't able to get past a doorman. Other attempts have also failed. If Giuliani doesn't appear in court on May 21, he could be held in contempt." https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/05/14/rudy-giuliani-arizona-charges/?location=alert
Fenix, @GottaLaff Isn’t the doorman obstructing official court business? Is he/she allowed to do that w/o consequences?
GottaLaff, @Fenix No idea!

cobalt, Hard to imagine the Stones on tour in 2024 and they play the stadium in Glendale AZ tonight just a mile or so from my home. Saw them 3 times, starting 1969. DECADES ago! Not one ounce of interest for me now but for a good 45 years they really were the world’s best rock ‘n roll band. In honor of their history, here is a favorite early song. #RollingStones #Stones #Arizona

GottaLaff, @zachvat Not approaching. They merged some time ago.
SteveHendersonFineArt, Although it was not a very big tree, it was rather older than it looked, because conditions for growth had never been easy.
The wind was brutal, the rocky soil hard and scrabbly, the location tenuous.
And yet despite the disadvantages, maybe because of them, the tree continued to grow, strong and resolute and tenacious.

jnye, Good night #sunset from my beautiful (if def still under construction!) #Arizona back yard... where #BidenHarris is supported despite flaws. Where we understand that the alternative is unthinkable. Where we believe #congress holds equal or greater responsibility. Where we vote--ALL the way down ballot. Where we volunteer. Where we contribute funds.

What lives there is (drum roll, please) desert foxes. They & kits have been spotted. 😁 Now to figure out how to get some good photos. Wicked cute!!
