Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Thank you to New Mexico Representative Melanie Stansbury for the critical reminder that 'This Is Not Normal' and choosing to speak truth to power through her silent protest.

Only a coward signs a bill like this, especially at the end of a Friday going into a holiday weekend. Disgusting.

We went to the #Capitol today to stand against UT #HB267. Eleven Dispatchers, and none of us were heard by the committee because we the public overflowed 3 rooms and into the halls. Unfortunately, the Senate committee moved it on with a vote of 4-3. On to the floor. Please call your Senators! #utleg

The Hegseth confirmation shows that Republican lawmakers have put party over country. They should be ashamed, but I doubt if they are.

***Please read the State of Utah 2025 House Bill 267: Public Sector Labor Union Amendments*** Basically, the state wanted to use money that can only be spent on education for something else and the Teachers' Union sued, as I believe they should. Now ALL Public Employees are targets?! #thisisbullshit

Because it's MLK Day, we get to wear civies instead of uniforms. Because it's Inauguration day, I wore a zip-up hoodie with a cave on the back and a t-shirt with criptids and aliens on it. I'd rather be in a cave with them than surrounded by most Americans right now. #thisisbullshit #notmypresident

That Biden should have to issue preemptive pardons for men and women who defended the Constitution is a sad comment on Trump's vengeful nature.

It's early morning and my husband has been on our bedroom floor with Bernie for hours. It's my turn to love him. A medical foster we foster failed with, we found out recently he's lost the remainder of his sight. He cries at night when he doesn't know where we are. #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop
