The main problem with programs like Provo Canyon Schools is that those in power in #Utah think abuse is a good and right way to treat people who don't conform.

Voices: I survived Provo Canyon School. Utah must stand firm on its closure.
“Children deserve safe help,” Jen Robison writes in an op-ed. “That cannot happen until we stop allowing them to be abused for profit while calling it ‘care.’”

In a first, Utah got more power from solar than any other source
The state used to run on coal, relying on it for as much as 78 percent of its power a decade ago. But now renewables are surging.

That's the motive. They don't care about preserving the public lands, the tribes' sacred spaces, or the dinosaur bones.

Wait! You say.
These are for violent crimes. Not sissy white collar stuff.
You want violent crimes? Ok. Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence.
#Utah is worse than the national average. In Utah 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men will experience some form of domestic violence against them in their lifetime. The statistics, the reasoning behind why this is an underfunded and taboo issue in Utah is all explained and available here:

So is it a holiday or is it not? Governor Spencer Cox made it a #Utah state Charlie Kirk Day, but that doesn't call for cake?
And why is Giuliani doxxing a Utah teenager over cake? Doesn't he want Kirk celebrated?

Not only is this a huge violation of our privacy rights (as the article suggests), it's also a huge waste of money.
We know where the majority of crimes in #SaltLake and #Utah are happening, and they are not occurring on the streets.
#LDS wards, Facebook sites, and neighborhoods, neighbors are defrauding neighbors. License plate readers and drones won't help that. Depending on where they're being purchased from, this might just be another scam: buying overpriced equipment from a friend with government money. It happens all the time in Utah's government, and auditors are unlikely to catch it without a tip off.
Heck, look at this article about former Representative Trevor Lee. It lists several people who quit public office after arrest. There are many more who didn't.

Well, at least one #Utah politician named Lee is facing his comeuppance. Good job voters for not reelecting this bigot and, apparently, crook. I have doubts he'd be prosecuted in office.

Are you aware the #Utah state legislature is again trying to limit the public's ability to have a say in how we are governed. Can't have us getting in the way of their power.
Vote no on Amendment B. (And be aware the text on the ballot might be deceptively written.

RE: #Utah and grew out of an interest in true crime.
I'm now much more interested in speculative fiction and find queer culture much more inspiring in how we can change the world to make it better. Still, I may have to check out this author's work.

So wait. I'm confused.
Don't celebrate Charlie Kirk's death day, but #Utah's governor just pronounced it officially Charlie Kirk Day?
#utpol

Huh. Look at that. Guess anyone can still bring guns on campus. After all, that's what Charlie would've wanted.

As a #Utahn who doesn't live in Eagle Mountain, but also didn't get a ballot in the mail for the 2026 primaries, I can assure you, I was still able to go vote early on site. This is not evidence of voter fraud.
#Utah, and I really appreciate the change. Too many people were kept from voting before.

RE: #Utah, yes. It's hard to know your society considers you a second class citizen with fewer rights.

RE: #LDS church rules #Utah like a theocracy. They'll never willingly allow gambling here.
Follow this Kalshi case: #utpol #Mormon #ExMo

In #Utah, physical/emotional/sexual abuse is killing our kids.
#utpol thinks that same abuse is ideal for treating homeless and/or people struggling with addiction. They believe it so much, they're throwing money at it.

As someone who has benefited from good therapy, I think everyone should have access to good therapy.
This happened in my state #Utah. I do believe, though, that I'm in the minority on the interwebs who hasn't seen either this video or still pictures. I actively protect myself from violent images, both real and fictional, as they can greatly affect me.
Just another reason to support #MedicareForAll. Then everyone could get this help.

#Utah already throws piles of money at an abusive #Synanon model in #TOSA (The Other Side Academy) and at police and prisons, but not at actual treatment and recovery programs. It feeds a system that funds the wealthy and keeps an underclass in place and vulnerable.
Who cares if it's cheaper (both financially and socially) to help people rather than punish them?

RE: #Mormon #LDS #TCOJCOLDS, I agree. In #Utah, it's more than a church. It's a culture. It's even got a lot of power in our politics. Now, #ExMo #ExMormon, how can I self-identify if I can't name that cultural norm?
In Utah, when you say "the church", everyone knows which one you're talking about and it ain't Catholic. In fact, there were "I am a Mormon" ad campaigns around the time of the #2002Olympics. Then the last president of the church tried to take back the "Mormon" name and change our culture to say it was offensive and even a slur, but too little too late, my guy. Very few but him felt that way. Many tried to change their language to obey the religious leader, but "Mormon" is still in common use.

Hey, #Utahns. Remember our former AG #SeanReyes' LARP host #OUR (Operation Underground Railroad?
Well, they've dumped disgraced former CEO #TimBallard, escaped fault for his crimes, rebranded as #OurRescue, and gotten a new payday from the Trump administration. They have no lawyers. Have provided no legal services or networking for legal services in the past, but there are kids to disenfranchise and discard, so now it's their job.

Ok, Ken Jennings. I rejected you after you crossed picket lines on a strike, but I'm with you on this. I guess when it comes to #trans rights and the human rights of #immigrants. you are an ethical scab with personal integrity.
As with many issues, some people need to know the victims personally to empathize with them. Weird a know-it-all didn't know any pro-union teachers in #Utah where they are some of the few remaining strong unions in this #RightToWork state, but whatever.
Good on you for standing up for the humanity of trans people and immigrants.
