I started using the word "fascist" regularly in 8th grade and people thought it was a joke.

The fun thing is that a lot of the people I called fascists lined up to become one. 💅💅💅

In my lifetime the UTGOP has bankrupted itself once for decades over the Open Primary law, looks like they have all intentions to keep pissing away donor money while they tell us we have to shutdown day cares and can’t cancel the grocery tax
BREAKING NEWS: "Judge Gibson gave us a gerrymandered map," Senate President J. Stuart Adams says, announcing the legislature's appeal to the Utah Supreme Court.

This morning, Rep. Sandra Hollins announced that she will not be running for re-election to the House next year. She has diligently served the people of her district, and of our state, for a decade, and we thank her for her dedication and hard work. She will be missed!

One of the most pervasive and dangerous lies in our modern culture is a simple one: We don't owe anyone anything.

That's simply not true. We are all interconnected.

Consulting firm was wrong, doesn’t impact the Republicans on the Salt Lake County Council’s opinion, and it cost about $3 a year per person in the county. Yea really saving me money

So many thoughts on this, but the number one thought is that our 100% LDS delegation in Congress, who have been told repeatedly to serve refugees by their top leaders, will not care and will do nothing.
Trump Admin planning a rule to re-decide whether *every* refugee who entered under Biden meets their criteria for a refugee. That’s 230,000 people! And no appeals!

DOGE shuts down having not found trillions of dollars of waste or saved any money.

They compromised the security of government systems, fired federal workers and oversaw the dismantling of USAID which has killed 600,000.

By 2030 approx 14 million people will have died.

That’s their legacy

Nate Blouin wins the UT01 Dem Primary would be the opening up of his Senate seat and someone I’d very much like to see run to fill that is Utah’s only openly LGBT State Rep Sahara Hayes whose HD32 seat is located in his Senate seat

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I've already heard stories of signature gatherer straight up line to people. If you see them, before you curse them out, waste their time. And record everything they say. Then you can send videos and recordings to MWEG.
The Utah GOP is currently gathering signatures to put a full repeal of Proposition 4 on the ballot next year. They can’t stand the people having a voice, so they are pulling out all the stops in order to give our power back to the legislature. If you see someone gathering signatures, DON’T SIGN!
