Hi, I’m God.

I’m not sure how so many people became brainwashed, but I’m seriously considering another flood.

Thank you to New Mexico Representative Melanie Stansbury for the critical reminder that 'This Is Not Normal' and choosing to speak truth to power through her silent protest.

As George Orwell once reflected, "In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

Gov. Cox signs controversial bill banning collective bargaining for police, firefighters, teachers, transit workers | Gephardt Daily SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Feb 15, 2025 (Gephardt Daily) - Utah Gov. Spencer J. Cox signed controversial House Bill 267 (HB267) into law late Friday night, banning collective bargaining by unions represent...

Only a coward signs a bill like this, especially at the end of a Friday going into a holiday weekend. Disgusting.

So much for representing constituents...

#slcmayor Erin Mendenhall urges #utsenate to vote NO on HB 267! Thank you, Mayor! #utleg #listentous

#utsenate still not listening to the people! HB 267 advanced to third reading. Call/email your Senators! Meet at UT Senate building (East side of Capitol complex) 1/31 by 10:30 MDT. 4th floor. #utleg #firstresponder #union #listentous #fightforus

We went to the #Capitol today to stand against UT #HB267. Eleven Dispatchers, and none of us were heard by the committee because we the public overflowed 3 rooms and into the halls. Unfortunately, the Senate committee moved it on with a vote of 4-3. On to the floor. Please call your Senators! #utleg

We'll be there!

This goes to the Senate committee tomorrow (1/29) at 2pm MDT. Contact your state Senators NOW! #utpolitics #firstresponder #union

UT HB 267 cleared the House with a 42-32 vote today despite HUGE opposition. Several Republicans joined Democrats to vote against it. Now we contact our Senators to make our voices heard and tell them to vote NO! #utpolitics #firstresponder #union #listentous #thisisbullshit

UT HB 267 (Public Sector Labor Union Amendment) to be heard in session at 11 am MDT *TODAY* Please call your representatives this morning to tell them to vote NO! This bill would expose all public employees (911/FD/PD) and families, including me and mine! #utpolitics #firstresponder #union #help

The Hegseth confirmation shows that Republican lawmakers have put party over country. They should be ashamed, but I doubt if they are.

I spied a red hat at our Costco last week. Went the other way.

‘The disrespect’: Utah bill to end collective bargaining for public workers moves forward despite union opposition Union representatives from across Utah packed into the state Capitol on Thursday afternoon to protest HB267, a bill aimed at banning collective bargaining for public employees.

*Please help us fight HB 267!*

"...the majority of attendees opposed...in an 11-4 vote [lawmakers] moved the bill forward to the House Floor..."

"[They voted] against public sector employees that are out there every day...keeping our state safe.”

A screenshot from the Utah State Legislature that lists what House Bill 267 includes. Most notably, "prohibits a public employer from recognizing a labor organization as a bargaining agent," "prohibits a public employer from entering into collective bargaining contracts," and "excludes new employees for a labor organization from participating in Utah Retirement Systems."

***Please read the State of Utah 2025 House Bill 267: Public Sector Labor Union Amendments*** Basically, the state wanted to use money that can only be spent on education for something else and the Teachers' Union sued, as I believe they should. Now ALL Public Employees are targets?! #thisisbullshit

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Because it's MLK Day, we get to wear civies instead of uniforms. Because it's Inauguration day, I wore a zip-up hoodie with a cave on the back and a t-shirt with criptids and aliens on it. I'd rather be in a cave with them than surrounded by most Americans right now. #thisisbullshit #notmypresident

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

That Biden should have to issue preemptive pardons for men and women who defended the Constitution is a sad comment on Trump's vengeful nature.

We're so grateful to have him in our lives. He's a great cuddler and has the most adorable butt wiggles!

Bernie, a brown and tan Bulldog mix, sits on the floor facing left. His eye, the only one he has, is completely white in the middle from cornea scarring. An arm coming from the left allows his owner to scratch his chest.

It's early morning and my husband has been on our bedroom floor with Bernie for hours. It's my turn to love him. A medical foster we foster failed with, we found out recently he's lost the remainder of his sight. He cries at night when he doesn't know where we are. #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop
