LET'S NOT FORGET! While we honor our departed soldiers, Utah Senator Dan McCay tried to wipe out property tax relief for over 30,500 households of disabled veterans in Utah this past session, not to mention property tax and rent relief for veterans who are not disabled or active duty. VOTE HIM OUT!

The repost below is a commentary from Zak Podmore, one of the most knowledgible writers on water issues in the southwest. READ HIS BOOK! Also worth following, Jonathan Thompson at The Land Desk bsky.app/profile/land... and Morgan Sjogren bsky.app/profile/morg... and of course, utahrivers.org

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

Canadian wannabe-billionaire Kevin O'Leary thinks he can profit off polluting our state and skyrocketing Utahns' energy bills. He's dead wrong. I'm the only candidate in this race calling for a national data center moratorium. Let's send a real progressive to Congress and kick Kevin out of Utah.

A physics professor at USU explained that the 9 GW needed to power the data center will produce an additional 7-8 GW of waste heat, adding up to a 16 GW total thermal load. It’s the “equivalent of about 23 atom bombs worth of energy dumped into this local environment every single day.”

Nate Blouin repeatedly stood up against Senate President Stuart Adams, often the ONLY Senator to do so. There's plenty of reasons to speak out. Yet Blouin gets criticized. "Can't get anything passed." Read this. nateforutah.substack.com/p/a-legislat...

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $271B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $231B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Right now, hundreds of people in immigration detention in AZ have filed habeas corpus petitions, which are legal challenges to unlawful detention. For many, it's now the only path to freedom from detention. But there’s a barrier that can stop them before they even begin: a $5 filing fee.

I was singing Woody Guthrie's "All You Fascists Bound To Lose" on the porch today. After singing the verse I wrote about JD Vance, I realized the guy who is leading negotiations with Iran, whom we'll turn to for a report, once told us Haitians were eating cats and dogs in Springfield,Ohio. Bizarre.

It's becoming more apparent all the time. Maybe he IS a Russian asset. Maybe there IS a pee tape. Unfortunately, it has cost lives in Ukraine and now, chaos in the world. Dump NATO? Seriously? Impeach the son of a bitch.
