Utah! We have to keep the pressure on to get fair maps in Utah. The legislature is being scummy again. Here's what I sent today: Hello Senator Brammer,

At the Utah redistricting meeting at the Senate Building in Salt Lake City this morning. Heads up everyone who wants fair maps: they are going to try and push the idea of partisan symmetry as the main test for drawing fair maps.

Utah! Let's show up Monday morning! Demand fair maps! September 22, 2025 in Salt Lake City at the Utah Capitol building. Room 120 in the Senate building, on the east side.

Universal basic income works. Giving money prevents them from becoming homeless, from losing jobs for lack of child care or car repair, and from losing the ability to cover basic health care and dietary needs.

Utah! It's time to face facts about Mormon history. Attitudes about violence matter, and I think our state gives too much honor to one of the most violent figures in American history: Brigham Young. He was definitionally a genocidal white supremacist. BYU needs to be renamed.

Leaves are changing early this year in Utah! We hiked to Pine Hollow behind Timpanogos yesterday. I have so many more leaf pictures I'll be putting on my blog. www.AmandaRoos.com

Two international sales this week! Three rainbow sets of peace sign keychains headed to Australia and four off to Canada! amandaroosart.etsy.com

If all the people with pictures of white Jesus in Utah actually believed in Jesus instead of white supremacy then we wouldn't have a cult hoarding billions in a city with a homelessness problem.

A country that is ok with children being born into poverty is sick and broken. We need universal basic income.

Violence against non-white people is minimized in this country. That needs to stop. Violence is violence. This violence should be making headlines.

I just uploaded a new model for 3D printing on MakerWorld! makerworld.com/en/models/17... An “Abolish ICE” keychain. The United States needs to abolish ICE. The current abuse of power by ICE is denying people their rights to due process. It should be defunded and abolished.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.” ― James Baldwin

Utah legislature is still trying to delay fair maps. Here's what I'm sending my reps today:

I grew up Mormon. I got my degree from BYU. I only studied church history by a fluke. My grandfather studied history in college and was the one to give me my patriarchal blessing.

Check out these gorgeous earrings! Orange Shirt Day is September 30!

Orange Shirt Day is September 30!

Let's bring Orange Shirt Day to Utah on September 30! Remember the children who were sent to boarding schools for the purpose of stripping them of their native language and culture.

Utah! Senator McCay is proposing a Charlie Kirk monument at UVU. Call you reps! Send emails! Tell them you do not support this. Here's what I wrote to McCay as well as my reps:

We need ubi

Finally! A smidgen of accountability. Rapists and pedophiles should not be our leaders. "UK fires ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson over his links to Jeffrey Epstein". apnews.com/article/uk-m...

Gun control works. Mass shooting deaths skyrocketed after the ban on assault rifles lifted. Other countries don't have this problem. Federal Assault Weapons Ban - Wikipedia share.google/4WrcM2zIpz0z...

Never forget this is also the anniversary of innocent people killed by religious extremists right here in Utah: Mountain Meadows Massacre. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountai...

If you are looking for the loudest source of hateful rhetoric in our country it's Trump.

Definitely look into this one. "Charlie Kirk once called for ‘patriot’ to bail out Paul Pelosi assailant David DePape". He made jokes about a man getting bludgeoned by a hammer. www.kron4.com/news/bay-are...

Brigham Young was bloody and violent. How shocking that bloody and violent things keep happening in a state that honors him.

Need to help people see the things Charlie Kirk said that were awful? Here's a thread. This is not celebrating or condoning political violence in any way. His tragic shooting never should have happened. He shouldn't have been shot and his family shouldn't have to deal with this.

Putting this out into the universe. Might try to make it into a song. Please feel free to add more verses or put it to music. I'd love other people's takes. Guns are death machines Let that sink in Think about what it means

Native lives matter. We live on stolen ground and history has been white washed. The stories of native people are actively being erased.

Let's be clear: we all want the world where Charlie Kirk isn't shot and political violence doesn't kill people. I think Democrats have a record of being more likely to build that world.

So anger, hate, and mental health issues keep coming up. Great. We still need gun control because GUN CONTROL FUCKING WORKS, but also I can't wait for the public movement towards supporting mental health work and getting people into anger management.

"Empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage" - Charlie Kirk I think his political views were disgusting and immoral. He was wrong about empathy, which is ironically why we should have empathy for his death. Gun control now.

"Charlie Kirk Says Gun Deaths ‘Unfortunately’ Worth it to Keep 2nd Amendment" 2023. He was shot in Utah today. There is certainly irony them someone without empathy is hurt by what they don't have empathy for when other people are hurt by it. Still, we need more empathy in the world, not less.

❤️❤️❤️ they've tried to radicalize the concept of empathy but love will win.

What are we waiting for? End War. End Hunger. End Poverty.

Utah! Mark your calendars! No kings protests on October 18, 2025. In Salt Lake: 11:30am rally at the Utah Capitol Building. Go early at 11am if you want to march up from Washington Square Park. In Provo: 2pm at Provo City Hall.

Thursday afternoon update: I had a half hour messenger chat with someone running the Lehi City Facebook page. They kept trying to say this is not city related and are trying to pass me off to the historical society. They've left off the conversation after I last sent this:

Must read! LamaniteTruth.com. The church has tried to silence tribe members who speak out about the violence of the Mormon church against natives.

We need UBI!

Free keychains! Send me a message with your address and the color you want and I'll send you a "tax the rich" keychain!

Update: looks like they did not approve it. That makes me angry and disappointed and I will try again I guess?

Guns are the problem. They are death machines that cause grief and pain. A kid in my class in elementary school shot and killed his little brother while they were playing with a gun.

Today I learned that Mormons enslaved natives. I knew that Brigham Young was a genocidal white supremacist, but every new thing I learned adds a new horrific layer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History...

I just posted this to my local Utah Facebook City chat. We'll see if it even gets approved... With all the posts about Lehi heritage lately, I've been finding myself feeling really uncomfortable because I think we are being selective of our history in who and what we choose to honor.

Mormons talking about "marrying underage wives" are actually talking about child rape.
