We’re back at the bargaining table today w/ @VMGGuild to negotiate our new contact. I’ve changed my profile picture in solidarity with my fellow guild members as we continue to fight for a fair deal. 💥

The measles outbreak in the Northern Arizona community of Short Creek -- a former fundamentalist Mormon stronghold -- is showing no signs of slowing. Just on the Arizona side of the Utah border, cases are nearing 100. From @morgfisch: https://t.co/UJgKj6Gutr

In @phoenixnewtimes' cover story this week, I uncovered how Short Creek's storied history is impacting its present as measles plays out in the community's health clinic, schools and more. Pick up a copy or read it at https://t.co/2BjN5WJFCf.

But his influence is far from gone. As measles has exposed, it’s there in Short Creek’s low vaccination rates — a result of Jeffs’ distrust of outside medical professionals and, in turn, Creekers’ post-Jeffs suspicion of anyone trying to exert control over their lives.

For a century, Colorado City was a stronghold of the FLDS, a polygamous offshoot of the Mormon Church. But in the early 2000s, the area became infamous under the cult-like control of FLDS leader Warren Jeffs. Since Jeffs' incarceration in 2011, the community has changed a lot.

Earlier this month, I traveled to a community along the Utah-Arizona border, where the state's largest measles outbreak in three decades is brewing. But Short Creek isn't like most places. My latest for @phoenixnewtimes

Our @morgfisch went to Short Creek, home to Arizona's biggest measles outbreak in decades. It's also the former home of polygamist leader Warren Jeffs. Jeffs' reign is over, but measles -- and low vaccination rates -- shows he casts a long shadow. https://t.co/XBKF5ZoVGJ

Republicans wants to free the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office from federal oversight, citing a $350M price tag. So, the federal judge ordered an audit. It found that 72% of costs charged to court-ordered compliance had little to do with that at all. https://t.co/Xn1t5n6CxA

Outside Turning Point's headquarters in Phoenix, Charlie Kirk supporters shed tears and left flowers. On the ASU campus, where TPUSA has a large presence and where Kirk held many events, feelings were. . .complicated. From @tjlheureux0 and @morgfisch: https://t.co/nuVALDBbeL

"All hands on deck" - Measles found some fertile (unvaccinated) ground to flourish in Colorado City. The question is whether Mohave County Public Health can stay ahead of this... & will the community cooperate? | via @morgfisch @phoenixnewtimes

Mohave County health officials are warning a community on the Arizona-Utah border — where vaccination rates are low — about a growing measles outbreak. Nine cases have been confirmed so far. Here’s what you should know: ⬇️ https://t.co/TabUgBeKDw

Measles cases in the tiny northern Arizona town of Colorado City -- where vaccine rates are low and many residents are Fundamentalist Church of Latter-day Saints members -- have grown eightfold in a week. @morgfisch on the budding outbreak: https://t.co/3uPCf2Gbtl

Chicago cop sues Tempe over ‘racially discriminatory’ arrest

The Arizona Supreme Court has been using AI "avatars" to explain rulings and make them more digestible. But one such video -- announcing the denial of a death penalty appeal -- struck some as "horrifying," "gross" and "dystopian." By @morgfisch: https://t.co/u4AXEOIcEm
