Since they're here, and we're getting #Olympics money, let's do trains up the canyons to the ski resorts. It would help a lot with winter inversions and eliminate that waste of a gondola idea.

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

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.
#utpol #abuse

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.’”

They made me go in person. Uphill, both ways. But I did it. I voted in the primary.
It's been years since I've not voted by mail. I didn't get my ballot in the mail. Can you believe it?
I feel like a pioneer on the plains.

Worried about the shrinking #GreatSaltLake? Me, too.
#utpol #Utahns claim they care. If so, where's the money for these programs to reduce

#KUER is doing good work. I didn't realize they did so many articles (not just radio reporting).

RE: #Utah. See who's getting a payday (including the #utpol politicians) from imprisoning and emiserating our neighbors.
#IceOut @…

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.

"A proposed budget cut would reduce Medicaid reimbursement rates by 38% for five key categories of behavioral health providers: clinical social workers, psychologists, marriage and family therapists, residential treatment facilities, and alcohol and drug treatment centers."

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

"His proposal would require quarterly audits of the Salt Lake City Police Department and annual audits of any government agency that requests the data. Any misuse is punishable in Utah with criminal charges.
"'So, if you're a police officer and you're thinking about misusing it, that's a big deal,' Puy said. 'You know that could change your career or destroy it completely.'"
Hey, #SaltLake! Let's support this.

So sad and the money in the alternative medicine grifts driving the worst of the anti-vax misinformation is so damning.

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.
