I just left a voice mail to Sen Curtis Washington office to ask him to vote against this bill if it includes the sell off of public land. I talked about how that matters for my family. If you live in Utah, please call Sen Curtis: 202-224-5251. Don’t even try Mike Lee. He’s a lost cause.

Utah GOP logic: Two improper votes found on the state’s Vote By Mail audit: RAMPANT FRAUD — got to scrap the wildly popular system! Hundreds of inconsistencies on the state’s school voucher program: totally no big deal — let’s expand this wildly unpopular program!

this is just what “mass deportation” looks like, it’s government stormtroopers kicking down doors and ripping parents from crying kids while pepper spraying their protesting family and neighbors

This is more on the personal side, and certainly not for everyone since it’s directed to those within my own faith tradition, but I gave a talk at my LDS ward yesterday. Thought I’d post it here before I never think of it again lol

I wish you a peaceful & beautiful day, folks. So much is in turmoil, & it is indeed troubling/aggravating, but the only way wicked & cruel people prevail their day is if they convince us that all is lost & that theirs is the only realistic world. Our futures are bright; that will be clear some day.

It's the stuff of middle school civics to say that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a free press. Yet we have largely skirted around the question of how to institutionalize these democratic imperatives. What is the role of public policy? (1/5) jacobin.com/2025/05/publ...

Trump’s attack on public media shows why our democracy is on life support. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook. I hope my friends in public media understand: You can't appease your way out of this. I hope my public media critics understand: We all have a stake the fight to stop this.

Wherever you are, whomever you are, please know that you are beloved by others, that your worth exists everlastingly beyond abilities, looks, success, or possessions. It doesn’t matter who you encounter or what they believe; if you can offer them compassion, then there is still hope for this world.

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.
