In a survey taken before the Nov. 4 election, Democrats were seen as the preferred party to lead the next Congress amid economy frustrations.

To celebrate my YouTube channel hitting 10k subs(!), & to corral my various videos, essays, interviews, & etc in one place, I: 1) started a newsletter on Kit that will compile things into a semi-frequent email, and 2) will send a signed copy of AMERICAN ZION to one subscriber in the 1st week.

Trump announcing $2k payments to Americans from the taxes he unilaterally imposed on the same Americans through tariffs that are likely to be ruled illegal.

Meanwhile, on Facebook marketplace large “LDS sculpture” heads. Your guess is as good as mine who they represent.

An Indigenous filmmaker and her crew have spent two years making "Diverted," a documentary with a big goal: Saving the Great Salt Lake by telling its story.

ICE is completely out of control

Fremont Island always looks surreal from Antelope Island

“It's unclear if Utah officials made any attempt to expedite SNAP payments.”

Starling this morning. #Birds

Good day to see the bison on Antelope Island.

“Franklin took the X-ray photographs of DNA crystals that contained the data necessary for solving the structure of DNA. Her work, taken together with the work of the Cavendish Laboratory members, led to the 1962 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine awarded to Watson, Crick and Wilkins.”

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

This document has done much harm in the LDS community and continues to fuel all sorts of conspiracy beliefs today. The Satanic Panic never ended in Utah and the havoc wrought by credulous Mormons like Barbara Snow, Beatrice Sparks, and now Tim Ballard casts a very long shadow.

Even standing alone, ICE's announcement that it would not allow prayer at its Broadview facility would be the biggest imposition on religious liberty by the federal government in my lifetime. But combine that with the rest of its actions and it's inescapable: Trump opposes religious liberty. 1/

“I always felt like a second class citizen” - A niece raised in the LDS church but whose Dad was not a member. She left the church when she moved out on her own.

LDS practice may be clear but the underlying “doctrine” isn’t that clear - how does the LDS church connect opposition to gay marriage to any revelation from god? “Doctrine,” as Cause is using it here, is a thought-terminator designed to end discussion, at least among members.

“Boxer demonstrates how Indigenous peoples have been objects of erasure by Mormon doctrine and practices as Mormon settlers, wielding their whiteness, signaling their innocence, justifying their actions, and securing their belonging through the production of Lamanite discourse.”

Zuckerberg is not your friend.

Happy Mike Lee coup attempt anniversary to all who celebrate!

Can you imagine Curtis saying this in a REAL town hall meeting?

This is just patently dishonest from Sen. Curtis. Democrats aren’t in charge of anything. It’s not on them to rescue Republicans from this mess. It’s the GOP who have the burden of trying to govern responsibly. They’re not doing that.

On this day five years ago. From @schotthappens.com

Folks. Friends. I opened the comments section on this KSL article, and you might not believe it but almost all of them are tearing Republicans apart. THE COMMENTS SECTION OF A LOCAL NEWS STATION, people. Republicans are so cooked right now

Did you grow up learning about Joseph and Emma’s everlasting love or are you old like me.

The GOP controls all levers of government, they are sending residents to foreign prisons, sending armies of Brownshirts to invade blue cities, executing civilians at sea, and building a Taj Mahal at the White House. But the government shutdown is the Democrats fault. 🙄

I’m firmly in the JS did polygamy camp but I did grow up in an era that it wasn’t discussed or talked about in church so it’s funny to me to see the church and its apologetic friends now scrambling to address all the JS polygamy deniers when to a certain extent, the church created this problem.

ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler. "He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!" Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child. Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

SCOOP: Alexander Smirnov, the FBI informant convicted of lying about a fake bribery scheme involving the Bidens has been quietly released from prison just months into a six-year sentence—raising concern he could be pardoned by Trump any moment. jacquelinesweet.substack.com/p/fbi-inform...

AP reporter Regina Garcia Cano looked into a few of the men killed in Trump's extrajudicial strikes on Caribbean boats. "They were laborers, a fisherman, a taxi driver. Two were low-level career criminals. One was a local crime boss who contracted out smuggling services" apnews.com/article/trum...

As a veteran, I want a court martial for everyone in the chain of command involved in the summary executions of people killed on the boats attacked. They know those were illegal orders.

The Trump admin is making the planes run on time in the same way that Mussolini made the trains run on time—by not actually doing it, but by pressuring everyone to just say that’s what’s happening.

Trump, Rubio, and the entire GOP gave Elon the power. They’re all responsible for these deaths and the inhuman treatment immigrants are experiencing now. I’ll never understand how people can be this evil.

The political party that controls Utah’s congressional delegation is literally withholding food from the poor. Evil. I’m mailing a physical copy of this to my congressional delegation.

Open secret is that Palantir is the only one of these companies that makes anything that isn't vaporware, and also it still sucks ass Very easy arguments (without even broaching the even easier drug use) to lock these guys out, for any Dems willing to go back to first principles of "fascists bad"

"We power ICE," Karp said on Monday. "We've supported Israel. Okay, these are very controversial. I don't know why this is all controversial, but many people find that controversial."

“…the site contains none of the trappings of social inequality, such as elite residences or sculptures of rulers. This strongly implies that egalitarian cultures were capable of monumental building works without the application of coercive force through a stratified social hierarchy ruled by a king

As a member of the LDS presiding bishop from 2014, Caussé was part of the leadership that the US Securities and Exchange Commission specifically cited that "caused Ensign Peak’s violations" of the Exchange Act by hiding the church's ownership of much of its investments.

The Gospel has some things to say about this.

Never mind. Brian isn’t from Utah either.

In a post to social media, Tim Ballard accuses "Deep Church" entities within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints of conspiring to have him excommunicated and to destroy his reputation.
