Pictures don’t do it justice but it’s at least 15 ft tall

Never seen anything like this I’m horrified (they’ve left me alone)

Last night, somebody chose hate over love, and killed one of our best friends, and his friend. A son, a friend, a brother, was taken from us, for a senseless act of hatred.

It is a devastating choice that is going to haunt us for years with the absence of two of our most cherished community members, friends, brothers, uncles, and family members. The pain caused to our family & friends is overwhelming. The pain everyone feels is matched only by grief, disbelief, and empathy for each other.

We don't have to wonder why tonight.

It was intended as terror.

We've spent the day consoling each other and growing closer. Making up for missed opportunities to care for each other.

Let it be known to those who harbor hate, we're not afraid of you. On a good day, we're sorry for you. We pity you. To be so consumed by hate that your own life becomes worth ending, all you can do is attack others who wished no harm to you or your way of life? These are people who wanted to be more harmonious and caring. Attacking them in the middle of the night is pathetic and cowardly. It is the antithesis of liberty, justice, and freedom. The right to pursue happiness is at the top of the reasons why this civilization is good, and everything that comes after to fuck that up is couched in anti-human rhetoric more attached to domination than freedom. Old ideas of empire entangled with self-shame, repression, and indignity, have no place in our way of life.

The fear is that if you let people be people, love each other, respect them as they wish to be respected, that your civilization will crumble.

If love is what kills your American dream, maybe we should be burying this empire, instead of our loved ones.

Cameron championed human rights, civil rights, animal rights, and was outspoken on these issues. He championed peace, protested against the policies of ICE disappearing our friends & neighbors, protested against the genocide in Palestine, and against fascism & tyranny everywhere.

He took in animals off the street and cared for them when no one else would have done so. He gave his whole heart, time, and attention to that empathy and care, taking care of the abandoned, neglected, and abused. Those who could not take care of themselves, he stepped in to help.

For him, we're not going to let that be silenced.

For all of you, this act was intended to break us, and make us live in fear. And for today, it hurts. It is a devastating loss. Losing Cameron and Vincent is one of those agonies that makes it hard to get out of bed.

But tonight, and all the days after this, the best vengeance is love. We're going to live a good life. And as the dying gasps of fascism fade into the history books once again, as love triumphs over hate, we're going to remember that taking care of each other in times like this is what makes for a good life.

Cameron would have been the one helping lead the vigil. So that's what we're doing. It's still a crime scene, but the Venture-N tonight is also a place to honor our fallen by embracing each other. There will be more as the shock gives way to organization.

Don't lose hope. Keep up the fight. They're violent & spiteful because they're losing. It may look like we're on our back foot fighting against unchallenged acts of oppression, but the reality is, the corruption is out in the open because this is their last stand. They know the tide has turned against them. They know we know what they are. So their only hope is to make the corruption overt, to be sure that justice never comes, because it'll be coming for them.

One senseless tragedy in Tucson is tied to a letter full of hate for people everywhere. One of our own was lost because hatred is afraid it's going to be replaced with gentleness.

So lets be gentle to each other. Kind to our hurt. Loving to those who feel like they don't deserve it.

That's greatness. And we're not going to let it end in shame and fear.

Monday is the Congressman's 44th birthday, which was "celebrated" in front of his Tucson office by dozens of protesters opposed to his unwavering loyalty to the Trump Administration's policies of catering to the most wealthy at the expense of vulnerable Americans. The demonstration, organized by Honest Arizona, a grassroots coalition that advocates for policies benefiting working families, seniors, and everyday Arizonans, and the Unseat Ciscomani Team, part of Indivisible Tucson Action Alliance, a group supporting progressive candidates and policies.

The protests included 44 cutout candles, each telling how Ciscomani has let down his constituents, and a giant birthday card, signed with less than best wishes and delivered to the front door of his office (no one would come out to receive it).

Does anyone know what’s going on? A lot of police/swat activity on speedway next to pcc

I'm at work and I'm starving they cut my hours pretty bad and I was wondering what are some food banks I can visit. In between jobs and very hard out there. There's a food bank I used to go on the north side but with this drive prices I can't afford a 40 minute drive each way from the airport

Hey yall, so yesterday morning there was a kitten in our shops dumpster and the momma ran off. We had to move him out and we put him under a trailer in hopes she would get him, but she hasn’t been back since.. I went to check on him today to see if momma came back for them, while checking on this guy I heard another in the middle of the shop cold and soaked as well. She hasn’t been back . I can’t take care of them for more than tonight, anyone please help they are less than a week old. Do I bring them back and hope mom comes back or should I try to find a vet??

Hi guys hit us with your favorites looking for a good chicken parm! Thanks!!

Hi! I’m looking for something on the east side that’s similar to tumamoc! My work is near TMC and I’m hoping to find a quick hike I can do after work when it’s nice out. I can finish tumamoc in an hour for reference. so preferably hikes that are under 2hrs within 15-20mins of TMC. Thank youuuu

We are just west of the Tucson Mountains.

I don’t think this much rain was predicted and I don’t see anybody else talking about it!

The thunder that woke me up at 3am was intense, but I didn’t think the rain was that intense. It must’ve rained steadily for hours. It’s raining again now.

Also I nearly stepped on a baby rattlesnake this morning, and ended up stepping immediately next to it — and so did my dog — and thank f it didn’t wake.

What a day.

A friend of mine ran into a mix up with a venue for a booking this weekend. He is looking for anyone that is doing a paid gig for Saturday in Tucson ir surrounding area. He does traditional country.

I'm trying to help him find a few doors to knock on, do you guys have any suggestions?

Just a reminder in overcast and rain it’s a good idea to turn your headlights on so you are more visible

Looking for recommendations for reproductive and infertility specialists. TIA!

I want to get a hair system but I'm not sure what salon / barber to go to for an initial consultation or cut. I know some places recommend letting them order it themselves too so that adds another layer.

Some of it is really bad but here are some alright ones I’ve seen around town

What a beautiful place!💐
