I’ve decided to run for the Utah House of Representatives in HD39. The Special Session that took place recently was the deciding factor for me. Ken Ivory has to go! #UTPol #Utah If you’re able, we need a contribution — this seat is flippable, we can do it! secure.actblue.com/donate/drewh...

I did another thing. I’ve been sitting on this track for years, not sure if it belonged in my private meditation stash or out in the world. Front Porch Serenity uses porch wind chimes, a summer storm, piano, pads, and 396/528 Hz. EP drops Dec 4 — hear it now: on.soundcloud.com/r2ywgsEHhr1s...

Just listened to Cox’s “evil algorithms” interview. Wild how he skips the part where his side built the outrage machine. I pulled the whole thing apart. Free read here: open.substack.com/pub/drewrees...

I didn’t plan to spend my morning arguing with a sitting Utah state senator. But when he showed up in the comments of his own op-ed—dodging context, reframing facts, and invoking “constitutional structure” like it was a get-out-of-accountability-free card—I couldn’t help myself.

I wrote about what it means to be a Star Trek liberal—rooted in service, shaped by advocacy, and driven by a hopeful vision of the future. It’s about building a world where no one is disposable. A wall-less tent, big enough for all of us. 🖖 Read the full piece: open.substack.com/pub/drewrees...

Utah erased safe spaces for queer & marginalized students—but left LDS Institutes untouched. That’s not neutrality. It’s cultural dominance. I wrote about it. Please read & subscribe— it’s free & I pour a lot into these. 📖 open.substack.com/pub/drewrees...

Spent my morning watching a police audit video for fun, and ended up writing a whole Substack about the slow, stupid death of the First Amendment. It’s got soft authoritarianism, press corps grief, satire arrests, and yes—even a Star Wars reference. Go read it. 🖤📹🇺🇸 open.substack.com/pub/drewrees...

This photo was taken in a 55+ retirement community here in Sandy, Utah— but honestly, it’s a work of art. I’d display this garbage can exactly as it is in a museum or gallery and title it “Trash Campaigning.” There’s so much political and social commentary happening — it’s absolutely delicious.

Thousands of Utahns gathered in a dozen places across the state Saturday as part of national "No Kings" protests aimed at criticizing President Donald Trump. https://ow.ly/cWz950Xexez

@ksl.com got a really great shot of us today at the No Kings Rally at the Utah Capitol.

More pictures from the no Kings rally at the Capitol here in Salt Lake City, Utah. #BeBest

No kings protest SLC! #BeBest

It’s the best “side effect” from a medication — GLP1s make alcohol just seem BLAH 🤢 and are contributing to the fall of alcohol sales in the US. They are in trials to use this medication for alcohol addiction similar to the same way Wellbutrin works on cigarette/nicotine addiction

Every month, my retirement pay arrives with a line missing—not because I didn’t earn it, but because Congress decided combat-disabled vets like me deserve less. The Maj Richard Star Act is how we fix this theft. It’s not politics—it’s fairness, survival, and honor. open.substack.com/pub/drewrees...

There’s a story in Judges where a single word became the line between life and death. It’s wild how much that still rings true today—language as a litmus test of who’s “in” or “out.” I wrote more on Substack—It’s free, and subscribing would be pretty cool too. open.substack.com/pub/drewrees...

Twas the night before 9/11 🇺🇸

People keep saying this is the next app — but honestly I’m not seeing the same interactions. 🤷🏻‍♂️

“Defense” carries with it the promise of restraint—that we fight only when necessary, that force is always the last resort.” Please read my free substack

Utah’s Legislature has made a habit of gutting the people’s vote — from medical cannabis to fair maps. My new substack piece traces how and why they keep waging war on their own voters.

Empathy isn’t conditional— it’s either given or it isn’t. — Captain Pike, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Found a sunflower on my walk today.

Imagine a bridge built over years of sacrifice, connecting veterans to critical services. The bipartisan PACT Act was a hard-fought victory for those exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange and radiation at K2. But with tens of thousands of VA jobs on the chopping block, that progress will be undone...

Maybe next time 🚀

Just breathe — take a moment with me! You’ll survive this! 🖖🏻

Sometimes when your legislators ignore your emails and calls, the newspaper of record will print your letter — maybe this way they’ll hear it? I even use a Star Wars quote. SB203 is a blatant attempt to shut the courthouse doors on the people of Utah! It’s bad! www.sltrib.com/opinion/lett...

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.

Check out my new album. The Spaces Between the Sound. It’s a meditative journey through ethereal soundscapes, blending piano, guitar washes, sound bowls, and ambient textures to guide you into deep relaxation and presence. Stream now music.lnk.to/eR19VU

Utah Capitol getting some action — I feel like we’re one incident away from a spontaneously choreographed breakout group musical number of “ Do You Hear the People Sing” on the steps of the Capitol — torches, “French bread slicers,” and all!!!

Last night I got to spend some time underwater with the Dive Into Healing Veterans Dive program here in Salt Lake City — being underwater is so therapeutic— we had a group of 8 veterans! Our next dive night is February 16th. If you want more info about our program, www.diveintohealing.org

I released an album today — The Spaces Between The Sound. Apple Music: music.apple.com/us/album/the... Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/4nsfbR...

My new album The Spaces Between the Sound is out now. This hour-long meditative soundscape flows without loops, creating space for stillness and inspiration. Featuring ethereal piano, ambient pads, sound bowls, guitars, it’s perfect for meditation, focus, or relaxation. Now streaming everywhere.

If you want to know how this Elon nonsense ends, just look at Icarus—convinced of his genius, ignoring every warning, flying too close to the sun. Hubris blinds you, makes you think you’re untouchable. But gravity always wins. And when the fall comes, it won’t just be spectacular—it’ll be a lesson.

Another plane just crashed in Philadelphia — but don’t worry, we have that Duffy Dude from MTV’s The Real World in charge of transportation— everything is just fine.

I love Doctor Who, Torchwood and the Cute British Winter Boots they got over there on the BBC! #ComicChurch

Run like hell, because you always need to. Laugh at everything, because it's always funny. Never be cruel and never be cowardly. And if you ever are, always make amends. — The Doctor

If I get arrested this year (for the first time in my life) it will be because I was upholding the Oath I took to the Constitution. I’ve been retired for over a decade, but my Oath still stands!!! This is where we are now.

After sitting on this album for a few years, I’ve finally decided it’s time to release it! The Spaces Between the Sound is an ethereal, meditative New Age sound bath I’m so excited to share. It officially drops Feb 3, but you can listen to it now on SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/fairygodbro/...

All is right once again — Actually, the TikTok algorithm feels completely different, no one can go live anymore, and the time it was offline in the UD is about the same time a server migration/reset would take. There were definitely changes under the hood. Everyone knows this is a PsyOp, right? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m already missing my TicTok!! I was there till the last scroll when the live crashed, and it wouldn’t let me scroll anymore.

I would absolutely read a 5,000-word deep-dive on whatever high-powered PR agency is charging Mark Zuckerberg tens of millions of dollars to shape his public image as a bootlicking scrub

CNN interviewed more than a dozen experts, and they said that no fire hydrants would have been able to stop the LA wildfires with the high winds. “I don’t know a water system in the world that is that prepared for this type of event,” said one expert.

Thank you for being part of the resistance! Through solidarity, resistance, and unity, we rise together, stronger and unshaken.

@erikthescot.bsky.social & I finished another puzzle we bought at Barnes & Noble — I want to make it a goal to visit each of these national parks. I’ve already been to a few of them!!— but we have a long way to go! Shout out to @altnps.bsky.social for their commitment to our national treasures.

On our walk jamming to 1989 (Taylor’s Version) It cold AF — 🥶

LA fires are a good reminder that the only difference between me and any refugee is luck.

This beautiful girl turns 3 Years old today!!!! 🎂Happy Birthday Sherman🎂 Also, tomorrow is the 1-year anniversary of me flying out to New York for training with Puppies Behind Bars where Sherman and I were paired together!!🦮 PBB provides Service Dogs to GWoT veterans who have PTSD!
