Not to rain on everyone’s ceasefire-not-ceasefire parade, but that wrecking ball of a big dumb bill is still working its way through the Senate and still launching an assault on women, wages, benefits, and the entire working class

Hi πŸ‘‹πŸ½ I know our country is a complete $hit$how right now so my own story is insignificant, but if anyone knows of an employment opportunity for the former DEI Manager of the Utah Jazz (and a vocal Democrat in a red state), help ya girl out. πŸ’œ

If you have to reject your own studies when they don’t fit your agenda, it’s time to reconsider your agenda.

PETE: β€œI love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.” @EDSecMcMahon

I’m trying to imagine a scenario where any of our federal UT elected reps could draw this kind of crowd in their OWN state, let alone a different one. They could never. Bernie and AOC are national treasures. #fighttheoligarchy #blutah

The passion is here in Ogden but we need help. I spoke at a protest last week for federal workers. Fascinating history about why we have so many federal jobs in our hometown. Give a listen and let’s connect!

This was yesterday at a protest against Blake Moore, our congressman and co-chair of DOGE. About 300 protesters came, more than the attendees who came for Moore’s event. We’ve held multiple rallies since Jan. 20. I assure you, the majority of us didn’t vote for this.

πŸ™‹πŸ½β€β™€οΈ I’m the former DEI Mgr for the Utah Jazz. I ran against the most far-right state senator last year. I lost my election, but I won in Ogden precincts (along with every other Dem candidate, including VP Harris). There are many of us who are fighting and standing up for the good folks of Ogden.

May you have the courage and tenacity to do very hard things, especially when they don’t end the way you had hoped. May you be bold and brave, even though they will call you β€˜hostile’ and try to tear you down.
Happy #IWD. Cheers to the many badass women in my life. May we know them, may we be them.

How lucky am I that I was able to attend three rallies in three states this month? DC ➑️ HI ➑️ UT
A friend recently told me she admired my fearlessness. I told her I’m scared every time I speak out, but I don’t have the luxury of being silent.
Stupid? Brave? It’s a fine line between the two.

Salt Lake, Ogden schools say immigrant students are welcome after Trump flips policy on raids Salt Lake City and Ogden school officials sent out assurances saying immigrant students are welcome after the Trump administration flipped U.S. policy on raids in

My heart has been incredibly heavy the past couple of months, especially this week. I am so sad & feel helpless.
As an OSD Board Member, I’m proud of the work we’re doing to keep our students safe & to let them know they’re welcome, no matter their immigration status.

Flew from ABQ to SLC today in my Rosa Parks shirt. Got a few knowing nods. Small acts of protest. Dreading the next four years. Also posting a pic from DC a year ago. Because the only celebration today is for MLK.

Today I participated in a great panel discussion in partnership with the NAACP, on issues related to education, immigration, and civil rights. We spoke to the feelings of fear for what’s ahead, but we also remain committed to HOPE. I’m honored to be in community with these incredible leaders. πŸ’œ
