Along with so many others, we are #HoldingSpace for these lyrics from Defying Gravity. When faced with the insurmountable obstacles of a corrupt supermajority that controls all aspects of government, it might seem like defying gravity to stand in opposition to them... but nevertheless, we do! #UTPol

It's also not about "mass deportation" like they say, that will be impossible especially at the scale they claim –– its about encampments, but rather than the open air camps of the 20th century, these camps will be built in large empty retail spaces, industrial areas and warehouses.

Gov. Cox’s immigration announcement raises concerns about his “zero tolerance” approach to migrants who have “committed crimes.” These terms are subjective and relative, often shaped by fear-driven rhetoric. Such policies risk dehumanizing communities based on harmful and fictional narratives.

History tells us, progress thrives under oppression. Remember, Pride began as a riot against police injustice—a courageous stand that sparked a movement. Every step forward has faced resistance, yet hope & action have always prevailed. Don’t lose heart; our fight for justice and equality continues!
