On this day one year ago I was having fun at my first Trek convention. Terry Matalas was so much fun to meet and really needs to be put in charge of some more Trek shows. 💙

Salt Lake City Hall Lit up in Pride Colors

The Utah State Legislature banned pride flags on government buildings so the Salt Lake City government lit City Hall up in Pride Colors ☠️

As it should be.

I had the honor of meeting former Governor Edgar when he spoke my legislation class of just 20 students in 2010 I think. He made a point to find a connection with each of us, showed a wonderful sense of humor. It was a pleasure to spend time with him.

Positive energy & healing thoughts, his way

President Trump said he will continue to restrict The Associated Press’ access to his events and news conferences until the outlet goes along with his renaming of the Gulf of Mexico in its reports. He acknowledged that the move was a presidential retaliation against AP's editorial policy.

"If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me." -- AUSA Hagan Scotten, SDNY.

Justice Department sues Chicago and Illinois over immigration policies, welcoming city status The U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit Thursday against both Chicago and Illinois, alleging the state's and city's immigration policies and welcoming city status impede federal regulations.

From the Administration that said, "More Power to the States!"

Tell me you don't know who the Palestinians are or anything else about the Middle East without actually telling me you don't know anything.

This is not only about not being in sync with Tr*mp, she is just ignorant.

Then based on my appearance you'd make me your POA, and leave your pets with me while you went on vacay. (Even though we've never met.)

637 days til midterms, but who is counting?

Do it! We support you! Shut off our electricity too. The assholes who voted for this asked for it and are in complete denial that it is happening right now.

It is going to take an actual hit to get any of them to wake up.

I see Great Value - but Wal Mart donated to a number of political organizations associated with Project 25.

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk's Government Takeover Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

FINALLY. Someone
Is actually doing journalism. #musktakeover

They didn't consult defense attorneys either.

I know this law inside and out. I am a prosecutor and have to reference this statute daily. I am not wrong. What are your qualifications?

If an offense is not detainable under the pre-trial fairness act, judges CANNOT detain them.

Most Aggravated Battery charges fall under this category. Aggravated Battery to a Police Officer Class 2 Felony - not detainable.

The legislators that wrote the PFA actually openly boast that they wrote the law without consulting judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, police, etc. I am not incorrect. They speak on this frequently. I use this law daily in my job. Trust me, I research.

The system was working quite well when Illinois passed category A and Category B offenses several years ago. People generally were not held on nonviolent offenses.

Now judges have no discretion if the crime is not clearly listed as detainable - and there are some violent crimes that got missed!

No, I am talking about true threats to kill spouses left over voicemails or sent in texts. Assault is something else entirely in Illinois.

Why do threats on public officials get detained? Self serving laws written by people who did not consult anyone with experience in the justice system.

This system leaves victims of death threats unprotected and afraid. Those who are detained feel their constitutional right to bail is being violated.

Funny how threats to public officials is a detainable offense, but threats to kill your wife is not. I wonder who is more at risk.

CNN upped the ante on their paywall. You now have a limited number of articles. There are places I will pay, but sorry, @cnn.com, you aren't that good at what you do for that.

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

My paternal grandma's family fled Nazi Germany when she was a child. They weren't allowed to speak German here, bc they didn't want anyone to think they were Nazis.

My maternal grandpa's family fled the Netherlands in the 1930s also fear of Nazis.

We are not only bad neighbors and sorry excuses for human beings, but just begging for another MAJOR worldwide AIDS crisis and cases to rise. Yes, in the the USA, too. Actions have consequences. Where is the logic?
