Meanwhile Utah Republicans are coming back once again with a Constitutional Amendment to strip away our ballot initiatives. They are stealing your power, they are closing daycares and senior centers, they are going to repeal the Earned Income Tax Credit www.abc4.com/news/politic...

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

I heard my first ACA premium hike story IRL. She saw her health insurance premiums go up from $600 to $1900 a month. Unfortunately, they are the median voter so they thought the Democrats didn't want to renew the subsidies (WTF read a single article). I gently corrected her, but who even knows.

The future of the Democratic Party is CIA girlbosses and democratic socialists working together to pass broadly similar policies.

the President is illegally raising taxes because people don't like his plan to illegally spend billions of tax dollars illegally invading allied territory

Has anyone else noticed a major uptick in spam calls over the last year? I get at least three to four a day claiming to be about taxes.

I was accosted by another paid anti-Prop 4 signature gatherer today, this time on the train. I had to tell him three times he wasn't allowed to gather signatures on UTA property, at which point he became belligerent and began yelling at me before getting off at the next station.

One of those women is a Jem'Hadar Klingon who would make Stephen Miller cry.

Literally every era of American history is a bunch of nativists arguing that immigrants won't become a part of the country and then everything turning out totally fine. Turns out countries based on shared creeds work

you know how there are episodes of things like The Office that are too cringe to watch and you have to leave the room because of secondhand embarrassment? this is sort of like that

The media called us victims of Trump derangement syndrome and told us to calm down. Resist libs were always right about him.

NEW: Statement of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Trump’s criminal investigation into him. He says they are seeking an indictment over his Congressional testimony, but calls it pretext to pressure him into lowering interest rates.

Liberté, Égalité, Chardonnay

Separate from the obvious misogyny of the last few days, it’s been striking to watch the right wing media apparatus really confront the role of normie middle-aged women as a leading and increasingly radical force of opposition to trump

so between "if you work for the feds on immigration, seek counsel for the sake of your immortal soul" from the bishop of dallas and now "clergy, update your wills then hit the streets" from the bishop of new hampshire, I feel that a shift has begun in 2026 in the rhetoric from episcopal leadership

we are never going back

I don’t think Kamala Harris would’ve deployed a legion of tacticool sociopaths to Minnesota so they could run around killing lesbian mothers and tear gassing elementary schools at random

In state leg races or especially say County Auditor, $10 goes so much further. Another $10 to Roy Cooper or Talarico etc. isn’t going to do anything when they will raise millions And so will their opponents Utah Dems largely will face down significant war chests and donor networks

Yes we can and yes we will!

white guys who want to sneer at the resolve of liberal and left wing white women right now: this is a superb time to shut the fuck up and go do something useful instead

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

"finished that up, let me just open bluesky and WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED NOW" - me, six times a day

Several hundred people are at Pioneer Park in Salt Lake City protesting ICE activity, following the death of 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis yesterday.

this guy is a fucking hero

Kristi Noem is a stone-cold liar who has zero credibility. There is nothing to suggest the shooting of an unarmed woman in Minneapolis was justified. This heinous killing must be criminally investigated to the full extent of the law.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

On only hours notice, hundreds of New Yorkers are gathering in Foley Square to protest the murder of Renee Nicole Good

This is so chilling. But this woman died with more love of country and patriotism than the insurrectionists of January 6th could ever have. May she rest in power, and may this be a turning point that our country desperately needs. Enough is enough.

The greatest and most distinctly American thing about this country is the proposition that anyone can come here and become just as American as you or me. Defending that proposition is patriotism. Dying for that proposition is martyrdom.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

Utah GOP incumbent Cheryl Action of HD38(R+9/+10) will NOT run for Re-election. Definitely need a Dem to file here

Walz: "We've got conspiracy theorists, right-wing YouTubers, breaking into our daycares, demanding access to our children. We've got the president demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating funds that Minnesotans rely on. It's disgusting and it's dangerous."

Get ready for the torture session, Utahns. The first few weeks will be insane with the worst garbage bills you've ever seen that they will ram down your throats!

last night some lady was trying to force me into signing the petition while i was taking the train home from work

No one mourns the wicked.

You really gotta understand these people just want Democrats to lose

We're staring down the barrel of a refugee crisis in our own hemisphere that people are truly not prepared for. The destabilization of an entire continent for social media content will have consequences. Buckle up, everyone.

This feels like a culmination of several deep pathologies: congressional passivity, executive aggrandizement, national security exceptionalism, politics as theater, war as theater.

LFG!!!!

Another has fallen in Purrtah’s enemies list Next up Laurie Stringham, Chris Harding, and Matt MacPherson

LinkedIn in Utah is a wild place where people praise a punk determined to ruin the lives of Somali Americans in Minnesota and assert that he is a good guy. After all, he put Jesus first because he went on a mission. Delusional BYU zoomers need to touch grass.

Homemade pho is still simmering, and I can't believe I made it! I can't tell you how much I've cooked this holiday season. I love a good challenge, so this was fun to try out. Beef is also hella expensive. Oxtail was like $11 bucks a pound!

one of my recent preoccupations is the visceral hostility the MAGA right has for the histories and traditions of the United States. these are people who spit on the Declaration and salute third-rate European despots!

When our flags flys over the county, our enemies defeat and humiliation will be beyond question. Our vengeance will be complete It is an honor and a privilege to play a part in this glorious struggle

I'm doing this.

MY CYBERBULLYING PAID OFF!!!!

Going into 2026, I just want to establish one promise I intended to keep for next year: Everything related to the State Legislative Election Watch (ratings, articles, maps) will be available for free. I am not selling out to the betting apps and locking them behind paywalls.

My husband just ran into signature gatherers for the repeal of Prop 4. They are totally lying through their teeth about this. This person told him that signing would help eliminate gerrymandering. How is this not illegal?
