Tucson Speaks Out: March 31

Tucson Speaks Out: March 31

    It's called law enforcement

    Local opinion: Ill-advised bombing campaign has put U.S. in difficult position

    • Albrecht Classen Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    I do not see any military expertise in place in the newly named War Department today, and I feel deeply sorry for both the Iranian people and the U.S. military.

    Local opinion: Dolores Huerta’s truth is a test for our collective conscience

    Local opinion: Dolores Huerta’s truth is a test for our collective conscience

    • Raul Aguirre Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    Believing Dolores doesn't mean erasing history. It means completing it. It means acknowledging that even our heroes can fail and that justice cannot depend on convenience.

    Local opinion: How Democrats can elect more Republicans

    • Ronald F. Eustice Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    My advice to Democrats: The Trump voter you call “dumb as a rock” may be the friend who can help bring sanity back to Washington.

    Arizona opinion: Don't trust Secretary Kennedy's vaccine rollback

    Arizona opinion: Don't trust Secretary Kennedy's vaccine rollback

    • Scott Gieszl Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    Secretary Kennedy's decisions are not just wrong. They are dangerous, inequitable, and a betrayal of the communities that need public health protection the most.

    Local opinion: Pope Leo doesn’t like Trump’s war

    Local opinion: Pope Leo doesn’t like Trump’s war

    • Jerry Wilkerson Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    America and the world are being driven by the obsession of a pathetic man who believes that power and money matter more than country and democracy.

          Does social media really addict us? | Froma Harrop

            Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are running content very harmful to children. So said a jury in New Mexico that just slapped their owner, Meta, with a $375 million fine. The state accused the company of spreading pornographic images and helping adults contact vulnerable children.

            After measles outbreak, why are feds keeping Texans in the dark? | Dallas Morning News

              For the second time in two years, Texas is experiencing a significant measles outbreak. But unlike last year’s outbreak in the South Plains, little information is available about the new surge because it erupted at a privately operated federal detention center — and company officials aren’t talking.

                    Local opinion: How the Regents’ Cup provided a meaningful platform for my voice to be heard

                    Local opinion: How the Regents’ Cup provided a meaningful platform for my voice to be heard

                      The following is the opinion and analysis of the writer:

                      Local opinion: TEP is an existential threat to Tucson

                      Local opinion: TEP is an existential threat to Tucson

                        TEP is a for-profit monopoly owned by a Canadian corporation with major investors who don't live here, so the millions in profits we send them annually is a massive wealth drain on Tucson.

                        Local opinion: Waiting for Iran to become an immediate threat is folly

                        Local opinion: Waiting for Iran to become an immediate threat is folly

                          Do I wish there would have been better planning, explaining and coalition-building by this administration? Absolutely. But I am resolutely opposed to not considering the long-term safety of this country and civilization.
