I love Sam but growing up in Southern California w really nuanced non-benson family didn’t give him much perspective into how some of us were raised. Because for you and me Armageddon is for suuuure still a current belief when I look around
With my new job I haven’t been as available to go door knocking for this ballot initiative.
You don’t get 100k signatures in Idaho to overturn your complete abortion ban that causes women to be life flighted out of the state without a lot of moderates joining the cause.
Def not day before class! Smart!
Oh gotcha. Yeah in your dreams 😂
?
Close elections are infinitely more easier to steal than ones you get 2.5x voted out on
I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
All of the “unshaken saints” and “some who choose faith” influencers wearing crosses makes it feel J6 coded somehow
I don't think it's a "problem" that there are fewer teen pregnancies. I think fewer teen pregnancies is a good thing, actually,
Maybe I shouldn’t have opened the app before bed 😂😚😙
Ugh
Oof
Lalalalalala don’t remind me
hot take: i think the move in the direction of a more explicitly extortion based international order is bad actually. I also do not especially relish the idea of re-boning up on mercantilism
The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.
As a blue dot in one of the reddest towns in idaho we are consistently 30-40% blue across the state. We expanded Medicaid and education funding by ballot initiative. We stopped bad immigration and education bills this session. Yeah we’re a mess, but we don’t give up the fight.
Recklessly producing and then accepting a situation where a foreign power can restrict freedom of navigation is not just a strategic defeat, it is a reversal of the most fundamental foreign policy and national security priority of the United States since the founding of the republic.
Valid. The only pressure point I can see is flipping cowardly gop congress. And that doesn’t happen from liberals they’re used to ignoring. And I’m shouting into the void asking for folks to join me. Keep doing what I can.
I think it’s a both and situation. We can walk and chew gum :)
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
Would you be surprised to learn god is giving the world global warming so the Rexburg temple could be completed a tiny bit ahead of schedule?
Will wonders never cease.
Picture of the Rexburg Walmart temple under construction.
If prophets can see around corners how come they didn’t know Rexburg would need a bigger temple 20 yrs ago? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #RexburgWalmartTemple
Either way!!
Had a physical reaction to the sound of LDS conf today and had to ask Darik to listen on his earbuds. Happy Easter!
A single long fixed term for Supreme Court justices, mandatory retirement age (but not term limits) for Congress, term limits plus a mandatory retirement age (to complement the minimum age) for president.
Plus a ban on insurrectionists in any of these offices.
it’s true that overall likes are way down on bluesky over the past year. however, if you look closely at the data, that’s mostly an anomaly resulting from the fact that your posts specifically have gotten worse and are dragging the vibe down.
IMO, I view LDS/Mormon vote choice as far more interesting & consequential than how they identify.
Just as Reagan Democrats held onto a Democratic identity while voting increasingly Republican, I see three elections in a row where Romney Republicans keep voting anti-MAGA (McMullin-Biden-Harris).
This session was mostly anti-LGBTQ bills and budget cuts. Despite having $1.6 billion in the rainy day fund.
And that maybe she believes it wasn’t intentional misogyny. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it sure came off as “there was never misogyny just women’s misunderstandings” just seen some chatter that wasn’t her intent
Yes it’s been long enough since I listened I’m probably minimizing how it was said. I would say she thinks anyone who believed women were inferior were misunderstanding … and in her attempts at neutral language, she was unclear. I also don’t doubt she isn’t as progressive as I am.
