GOP Rep. Mike Petersen said he was inspired to draft the bill after his daughter, who is completing a master of social work program outside of Utah, was required to write a letter to a lawmaker in favor of pro-LGBTQ policies.
He said he’s worried the same thing might be happening in Utah.

“We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men... If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.”
And there is a version of traditional conservatism that encourages this: volunteerism, sports, church, family, ways of being something in the world. One of the poisonous things about MAGA is how it chokes off this stuff in favor of an inchoate sense of rage and worship of the mighty.

abolishing ICE is not enough its members need to be prosecuted
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

That's a whole entire presumption, and nobody even said that (or at the least, it's not documented in the article).

In energy justice, what is the matching demand for justice on a much shorter timescale in policy, and then in material energy system transition and shutdown? What massive investments must we make to eliminate energy cost inequality starting this year? What infrastructure should be stranded NOW?
