One thing reading Dr. Martin Luther King's writings for the past 6 weeks, it is clear many of the issues we face now are things he discussed & pushed us to solve in the 1950s/1960s.
Upside down & going around in circles . . . (two other great songs).

The people of Utah spoke back in 2018 & some leaders have tried to stop it since then.
Jo-Jo says, “Yopp!”
#IYKYK
Something about animals are equal but some are more equal, blah, blah
Shows the thinking behind his objections. If people cannot understand this is not about equality, equity, & fairness, then not sure what else to say about it.
#WorkingToFix2026
I get your perspective. Making the steps forward I am hoping.

And the lives they disrupted & destroyed? Will there be accountability for these "errors" & "misrepresentations"?
#WorkingToFix2026
Speaker Schultz, I mean, Johnson (#IYKYK) wanted to take the reporter to task for not saying what Trump said correctly, then fumbled when he could not get the “direct quote” & made his own paraphrase. Sounds like he did what he is accusing the reporter of doing.

Early voting was an option as he was in the area.
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" (Animal Farm by George Orwell, 1945).

I hope this issue comes up on #SistersInLaw (thinking @kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social discussing it with journalism & SCOTUS connections).
Then again, by taping time, who knows what else could be happening (and it is just 7:50 am MT on Monday).
#WorkingToFix2026
Sounds quite similar to the immigration & border deal that was ready to go under Pres. Biden until Trump called for GOP to block it.
#WorkingToFix2026
Not sure, but I speculate that if a man was raising those objections, Rep. Comer would not have used that term.
#WorkingToFix2026
Thread: Yep! This could be a wider issue than just AOC & Trump, or just Democratic & GOP, but may be stigma-based, as well (e.g., gender, ethnicity).
#WorkingToFix2026
Thread: Again, for Trump, Rep. Dunn is not a "person" but just a vote, a means to his ends.
Notice the laugh, smile, exaggerated back slap. He does that when feeling called out or awkward at times. Makes one wonder what he will say/do when they are in private.
#WorkingToFix2026
"I do"
His trying to give BS rationalizations after that, plus saying he did not see it, yet still thinks it is appropriate, speaks to the carelessness & "All About Me" attitude he & others appear to exhibit.

At 30 second mark, Sec. Wright says something that has popped in my head since the start of them talking up possible actions in Iran: Anything said negatively about what they are doing is "undermining" America during war/conflict. This will spill over into the midterm elections.

See, folks, when private citizens organize a boycott against a company, that is not a 1st Amendment violation. When a governmental agency limits or threatens to limit what people/companies say outside of the Constitution, that is an actual free speech 1st Amendment issue.

Even if I was not someone who knows the parents of one who came back in a flag-draped coffin this week (which I am), Sen. Ossoff's words would ring true for me.
They treat it as a show, a game, not that each time a bomb is dropped & highlighted, lives are upended for real.

Thank you, Mayors Mendenhall & Wilson. Thank you SLC Council. Thank you SLC NAACP. Thank you, friends in Utah Legislature speaking up & out against this move.

They joke, they laugh, as others mourn & cry. Please miss me with how they have a reference for life & care about all people.
We sank a ship & killed people not near the fighting or engaged in battle with us. I sadly say “we/us” because it is done in our names

This is why journalists need to do follow-up questions & push on issues. We see it with him at the top; we see it with now former DHS Sec. Noem; we see it with SOD or SOW Hegseth; we see it with AG Bondi; we see it with Dir. Patel; etc. They say stuff just to BS or push an agenda.

Maybe it is the Daylight Saving Time switch fog talking, but thank you Mr. Doocy for asking the question.

Funny they say the county is to big to govern & that people in different sections have different needs, yet I am guessing many of those same folks want to split SLC when it comes to districting with the argument of wanting "rural/urban" fed districts.
