Hello Utah. Sign nothing. Do Not Sign the petition to undo some sense to the maps of political districts in Utah. The effort to to undo fair maps has recieved $3 million in outside dark money to pay non-Utahns to freeze and mislead people to sign. Decline to sign. No to petitions from politicians.

Please document when paid petition gathering folks are misleading the public. Badge number and audio recording of their lies can be sent to the lieutenant governor and [email protected]. You can be a pro-democracy warrior.

Decline to sign. Republicans in Utah are running a petition drive to UNDO PROP 4 - the Initiative that we passed in 2018 for fair maps. Numerous reports are in from across the state that petition gatherers are not acting within the law. DO NOT SIGN.

On a tele-townhall, Rep. Blake Moore states clearly that tariffs are taxes on Americans, add hardship to Americans, and tariffs increase revenue to the US. Seems like the administration might want to get a bead on clear messaging on tariffs...

Waiting for the Sen. John Curtis civility train to arrive, so we can hear him denounce the president's increasingly violent rhetoric.

Men, or maybe all press, should boycott Trump coverage - AND of all the cabinet members, for several days, or a week? No interviews; don't go to any press briefings; no trips; don't do the next trip, etc. Now. stop accepting the abuse. Stand up. Get help. Trump is using the press.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

It is hard to parse the data, but about 22 million, of the total 40 million recipients of SNAP, work. Some of these folks are likely 60+ yrs old, but no matter how you slice the data, the vast majority of SNAP recipients are children, people > 60 yrs old, or working.

Just 1700 + people, 2 unicorns, dinosaurs, and many dogs showing up in Logan, Utah. One of 13 events in Utah. Lots of positive energy, very few hecklers, lots of great street response. Tremendous work of our de-escalation team, musicians, speakers, food drive coordinator, so MANY people! #nokings

"This is the only map...to stop the Democrats."

Utah GOP email urges members to flood public comments supporting "Option C"-the redistricting map proposal that analysis shows would give Democrats a less than 10% chance of winning any district.

October 18, 2025. Bring flowers. Sing songs. Flood the streets. Nonviolent resistance is the best path forward.
IT’S OFFICIAL: We now have more protests planned for October 18 than there were back in June.

It’s not even October yet but you’ve already put 2,100 events on the No Kings map.

We hope to see you at the largest day of peaceful protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Dear @Ezra Klein and national media folk. Look at what Spencer Cox does and signs, not what he says. He continues to sign bills that reduce access to voting, the rights of people who have a range of gender expression, environmental protection rollbacks, support for tr#*p immigration policies etc.

Pam Bondi deleted a government study showing that right-wingers commit more terrorism. The right cannot think coherently so instead of making their own studies, they censor legitimate ones.
