NEW: Sen. Daniel Thatcher, the Forward Party’s lone member in the Utah legislature, announces he’ll resign before the next session. Typically, party delegates pick a replacement to serve the remainder of a term. But the party says it’s working on something different with details soon. #utpol #Utah

Credit where credit is due. Moore was a supporter of redistricting reform in Utah before he was elected to Congress. Thanks for speaking out, Representative, against the Texas gerrymander power grab. We need to acknowledge and openly support Republicans who stand up to their tyrannical party leader.

Left vs Right dualism has failed to make real progress on inequality, immigration, or equality. Reform can open the door for progress on all three. And my experience on the ground is that most members care deeply about these issues.

That's not how it is in practice. On the ground, we're unified around the recognition that the system has to change for us to see better results.

The teens and I finished Andor this week. That show should be required viewing for anyone in the Trump era.

This shocks the conscience. The horrors happening *right now* at American detention facilities will take some time to be fully understood.

This is what happens when we put people in charge who lack basic decency. This cannot be who we are.

"Another Love" by Tom Odell was such a part of the Iran womens rights protests and solidarity with Ukraine that it's almost hard to imagine those movements without it.

I mean, seriously - a movement is built on more than just ideas and volunteers. We need shared music and other experiences to help us be a cohesive community that people want to join. This stuff is important!

Does the right think they can say anything and their followers will just believe them?

Are they right?

This is infuriating. A man is dead today because apparently a bad guy with a gun charged into a crowd and a good guy with a gun tried to stop him.

In Utah where I am and a lot of red states, FWD candidates can challenge the GOP in races where a Dem wouldn't stand a chance. We're all in it together to break entrenched power in single-party states.

Let's go! 3,500 people in the heart of Utah County? Yes, please! No kings for us!

They all need to be returned and receive due process.

I actually LOVE this idea. It says a lot about where he is intellectually, but we *need* a commander-in-chief who knows what the heck is going on. If this helps him make fewer naive mistakes on the world stage, then I'm all for it.

Not caucusing with either. Doesn't really matter either way, since Republicans have a supermajority.

Heck, yeah. We're operating everywhere. Just because we're not spoiling presidential races doesn't mean we're not out there supporting candidates and giving people moderate options in races one big party or the other has abandoned due to gerrymandering.

"Remember" the Forward Party? The Forward Party is growing strong. We have a sitting state senator in Utah! We just don't get as much coverage because we're starting local instead of making an ass of ourselves spoiling national races.

I doubt the Forward Party would take him

This. 100%. There's so much room in state legislatures to build a centrist party without playing spoiler, because most of the time, one of the parties has given up. There's no candidate. So a 3rd party is a 2nd choice. That's how the Forward Party is growing.

This is just normal outreach and engagement stuff that every organization should be doing. Even if it's not scientific, it 1. Tells you something about what people on various platforms care about, and 2. Gets people to engage with your brand.
