If you live in Davis County, Utah, go to burrn.org and check whether your signature is listed. If it is and you don’t support gerrymandering, take steps to remove it according to the instructions at that website.

Somebody should check in with UT Sen. Mike Lee, see if he’s doing ok. See if he needs someone to talk to or something.

a woman wearing glasses and a pink shirt says " what like it 's hard " Alt: Legally Blonde "what, like it's hard?"

Official Recommendation: DO NOT ATTEMPT!!!

I realize the way I wrote my responses above it makes it sound like I'm one of these same people who thought they'd only deport "the criminals" etc.

I'm not. I'm confessing that I didn't think they'd go as hard as they have been. I thought they'd try to be more strategic to keep public support.

Kudos for catching that.

I was glancing at that earlier thinking similarly. The option for when a law is struck down as unconstitutional is to change the constitution to allow it, not whatever this bill is.

Which, ok, they pass this bill and then the court strikes it down as unconstitutional ... then what?

Thought they would be smart enough(?) to realize that deporting all the people actually working would tank the economy when no one is doing those jobs anymore because they can't pay legal workers enough.

I never questioned their racism, I just didn't realize it was white nationalism the whole time.

I didn't think the "mass deportations now" thing would play out the way it has. I honestly thought it would be used more as a threat and the result would be part more exploitation for undocumented workers, and part making examples of employers ratted out by their trump-supporting competitors.

Family in the neighborhood a while back (long since moved away) who named their daughter Eda, or Eida. I forget how it was spelled, but sounds like EE-da. They didn't realize that is so very close to any teenage boy's mind like "Eat a ..."

Their last name is Johnson.

I feel so sorry for her.

My wife always wanted a boy named Henry and his nickname to be Hank. Just throwing that out there as an option. No pressure to even consider it.

a man with glasses and a beard says " i know what you " Alt: Ryan Gosling says I know what you did, I know what you did, in the SNL sketch. Of course, the text is written using the font papyrus.

If he says any line from the sketch in the movie, I won’t be able to hold in a laugh.

A moment I often think about is how when Romney, a Mormon, was eyeing a presidential run, his advisors organized a meeting with evangelical leaders in 2006. Jerry Falwell and Franklin Graham then grilled him on the Trinity & the Nicene Creed.

Just imagine Trump being grilled about the Nicene Creed.

Good point, and I keep banging the drum that ICE doesn't have to be anywhere near polling places for there to be an effect on voter turnout. Just their presence in a city can cause people to be afraid to go to school, work, shopping ... do we think they won't be afraid to go vote?

6 people seen in the background of the news articles lead image. They have varying facial expressions ranging from looking away uncomfortably to staring at the speaker in brown face with a grin. One person's facial expression is not visible, but the top of their head and a peak at their eyes through glasses is visible just popping above the shoulder of the brown-face speaker.

There is an entire series of novels that could be written from just the cast of background characters in that photo.

No true Mormoncel would have ink ... it's like graffiti on their little factory/temple.

ence comments, or indirect mentoring. Gary Bergera, Joanna Brooks, Barbara Jones Brown, Richard Bushman, Frank Cogliano, Rachel Cope, Kathleen Flake, Sally Gordon, Melissa Inouye, Laurie Maffly-Kipp, Patrick Mason, Max Muel-ler, Ardis Parshall, Sarah Pearsall, Steve Taysom, John Turner, and Laurel Ulrich: whether you know it or not, you have shaped my historical mind. A special thanks to my digital families—By Common Consent, the Junto, Juvenile Instructor, and all the #Twitterstorians —for always providing camaraderie. On several trips to Nauvoo, Lachlan Mackay, always an ambassador to scholars of all stripes, allowed me to stay in some of the Community of Christ's treasured historic properties. A number of institutions in Utah were indispensable for my project. Any history of Nauvoo cannot be coherently written without the monumental scholarship performed by the Joseph 1 minute left in chapter 82%

More often than not, she’s in the acknowledgments of whatever Mormon history or Mormon studies book I’m reading. Here she is in @benjaminepark.bsky.social’s *Kingdom of Nauvoo* for the current #MormonSkyBookClub read.

Ardis Parshall was an OG Mormon on the Internet. The same generosity she described in 1997 carried forward into 2017 at least as she was more than willing to share resources when I reached out to her about a tangential piece of research. In her honor, I will keep-a-pitchin-in

‘Angel of FamilySearch’ — Relentless and revered LDS historian who gave voice to the voiceless dies Beloved independent historian Ardis E. Parshall, known for digging out little-known tidbits from Latter-day Saint history, has died.

The Mormon history world lost one of our absolute best recently. Ardis Parshall was a dogged researcher--one of the best the LDS tradition ever produced--and a fiercely loyal friend. She influenced so much, and her legacy should prompt us to be even better. www.sltrib.com/religion/202...

I only really knew Ardis Parshall tangentially through social media posts and interactions from those I follow that knew her better. While I am enjoying getting to know more about her through the remembrances that others are posting, I am deeply saddened that it took her passing for this to happen.

In Memory of Ardis Parshall - By Common Consent, aMormon Blog This morning I opened Facebook and, to my surprise and enormous sadness, learned that Ardis Parshall had passed away.

This will largely be meaningless here, but I need to share it anyway.

Ardis Parshall was a relentless researcher in Mormon history. She lacked the degrees to break into the academy, but she nurtured almost everybody from my generation of Mormon Studies scholars. 1/

This post from Ardis, a recap of one of her Gospel Doctrine lessons, is probably the most influential and personal one for me.
