And there was great confusion and consternation in Arizona. Nobody could agree with each other. Such was the level of argument that fearing to exacerbate it further, the only newspaper, which had previously published letters and editorials every day from its subscribers and citizens, decided to do so only on Sunday so nobody would be upset. So it came to pass that nothing untoward or frightening, or which might provoke discussion or argument, was published. All upsetting discussions about the genocidal policies of the Israeli armed forces in Gaza were banished, likewise the frantic arrangements by the incoming government trying to destroy democratic norms. The brave struggles of Ukrainians fighting for their survival against Russia were omitted. The activities of right wing extremists were carefully avoided, the poor were left to live on the streets without comment or help, the corrupt and venal were ignored wherever convenient. The sick and elderly were told to keep suffering. Immigrants without papers, who kept the factories and hotel and farms running, were singled out for deportation. And a great darkness descended on the land but nobody thankfully in Arizona got upset.
