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

No. #Utah State Senator Todd Weiler is not new to politics. He knows Alliance for a Better Utah. It's existed since June 2012 and been active in advocacy that whole time.
It's a local nonprofit with annual, public Form 990s.
If Todd was "duped", he was a willing dupee. Kevin O'Leary was obviously lying to Fox News for an audience outside of Utah politics.
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.

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.

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.

#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?
