International revolution means international responsibility

'To win this political and diplomatic struggle, the strength of all international forces is required. Rather than merely observing critically and questioning, we must see ourselves as a vital part of this revolutionary process, and must thus find our own role in defending this revolution. The more pressure is exerted, the more society here is strengthened.'

Interview: Prairieland Protester's "Act of Solidarity” became a 50-year prison sentence

Autumn Hill is "serving a 50-year prison sentence for protesting outside the Prairieland ICE jail last July."

She is "one of nine protesters convicted of terrorism-related charges after federal prosecutors accused them of being members of an 'antifa terror cell'."

A new audit by the U.S. Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General found a lack of training for post office staff, deficiencies in how ballots were tracked and errors leading to delays.

Experts say it raises questions ahead of the midterms.

"What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places — and there are so many — where people have behaved magnificently, it energizes us to act, and raises at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory."

This week's Sunburnt & Stubborn is out. 154 events across Arizona between September 14 and 20, sorted by topic. Two public deadlines land in the same stretch. The Senate votes September 15 on whether to take up the CLARITY Act, and Arizona's voter registration closes October 5. This week's canvasses reach Douglas, Kingman, Yuma and Nogales, not only the metro corridors.
