Yes! Do what the people ask! We voted for redistricting, UT legislature ignored it and made their own maps. This is NOT the end of it; UTLeg will delay, change the rules, and go back to court in appeals. What kills me is the commissioned maps will still keep Republicans in UT in power!
I guess we'll know which guard members are ok with authoritarianism by who volunteers.
“The musical community in Utah has been shocked after violinist John Shin was detained by ICE (the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement).
Shin's wife, Danae Snow, has started a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for the retainer for his legal defense.” theviolinchannel.com/fundraiser-l...
John Shin, a well known and respected violinist from South Korea, who received Bachelor's and Master's degrees at the University of Utah for violin performance, was detained by ICE.
John Shin has been a violinist and teaches students in Utah.
He is being detained in Colorado.
Ahhh....Hell No!
In their heads, facts = liberal bias.
I just called my reps with @5calls.org, you should too: 5calls.org
I just called about funding to remain for PBS and NPR. Please do the same! I have family in rural areas that rely on npr for news. My children watch the programming on PBS! It can't go away!

A private citizen, with the backing of the President, illegally shut down a major government agency over the weekend and it is not on the front page of this morning's New York Times

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."
As China continues to give money and projects to countries to gain influence, we are shutting down our agencies that do that.
China is eating our lunch and Trump is the reason. Sorry folks, if you don’t see it you don’t understand how the world works. Period
My grandmother is sick about this too. She's so worried and her anxiety is through the roof! I wish more people had listened to the lessons of our grandparents.
Done!
I hope their phones ring off the hook! Come on people! We don't have much time. This IS a coup.
I was a squeaky wheel this morning. I talked to a staffer of my Rep.,Malloy, left a msg for one senator, Lee, and the other senator, Curtis, mailboxes were full. (Yup DC and ALL local office voicemails were full).Take down Elon! Step one.
Thanks all! You are so right...I will be the squeaky wheel and call to complain every damn day. The more we collectively make noise, we can't be ignored.
This is sick!
Zing!
Can someone let ICE know an immigrant has broken into the US Treasury?
I hold Mitch responsible for all this mess. He could've done the right thing when he had the chance.
This whole nightmare could've been prevented if some Republicans actually stood up for America instead of Trump. They are responsible for all that happens now because they didn't expel him after 2 impeachment hearings. If this country falls to an -ism that destroys us, we know the GOP did it.
Geez! He could've stopped this nightmare before it started. I hold him responsible.
I feel helpless to get this to stop! I didn't vote for any of this! I'm in a red state, so my congress critters won't listen to me unless I praise the orange king.
Today is a day that so many of us have dreaded for so long. The second Trump presidency is upon us. Here are some thoughts on surviving it and even turning our anger and anxiety into productive action.

It's an ominous speech.
Here we go! Vying for a small piece of attention, since that is of highest value today.
