Utah has had universal vote-by-mail since 2019, and a recent poll found that 87 percent of Utahns trust that their ballots are counted accurately. But Utah’s governor signed a law this spring that ends this system.
Utah Was a Rare Red State to Champion Mail Voting. That Era Is Ending.
Inspired by the architects of Project 2025, Utah adopted a Republican bill to end universal mail voting and impose new restrictions on absentee ballots.

This week, Trump quietly released his National Security Strategy.
It totally abandons the idea that we should stand up for freedom & human rights around the world.
Instead, it lectures our European allies & embraces authoritarian leaders who enrich the Trump family & their billionaire friends.

The Trump Administration cannot erase the legacy of MLK nor the historical truism of Juneteenth by forcing Americans to pay admission to our nation's national parks.
"Quietly endure, silently suffer and patiently wait." Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Quietly endure, silently suffer and patiently wait." Martin Luther King, Jr.
It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

The illegal executions of Venezuelans in the Caribbean Sea by our military is not making a dent in the US's drug supply. It's a sideshow distracting from President Trump's pardons of criminals, like former President of Honduras, who brought tons to Alaska. #akleg #alaska #PeteHegseth #trumppardons

We now spend more money on Dept of Corrections than the University of Alaska.
The money didn't just go to oil and mining, it went to prisons too!
