I recently updated my social profiles to include "He/Him", hoping to show that I am supportive & respectful of other's preferred mode of address. Such a simple gesture, referring to someone as they prefer. Signalling that willing respect seems like such a small thing... 1/

Below is the first paragraph of the X Hateful Conduct policy. It's great to know that when you report a post that reads in its entirety "F*** off, F***** [slur for gay person]. Go kiss a N*****." that the response is "a violation of our Rules did not take place".

I check this site periodically because two people whose content I find very helpful do not post anywhere else. But frankly, X is a hateful cesspool and am bombarded with batshit crazy conspiracy nuts and bigots every time I venture off my following feed or into the replies.

Great explanation here:
Your mental model of libertarians and anarchists is probably that they're anti-government, with no clarity on what makes libertarians right and anarchists left. A short essay on what separates the two. ✍️

The Utah Supreme Court (a co-equal branch comprised entirely of GOP appointed jurists, each approved by Utah's GOP super majority) fulfilled their primary duty and disagreed with you last year in this case before sending it back to district court for resolution: 1/4
The Constitution is very clear. The judiciary cannot assume the legislatures responsibility.

"This means that government-reform initiatives are constitutionally protected from unfettered legislative amendment, repeal, or replacement.” 3/4

Utahns followed the process, passed the initiative with a clear majority, and you arrogant extremists ignored the voice and vote of the people (like always). Once again, I'm embarrassed to be a Layton resident represented by you.

A good friend of mine & his wife are experiencing a confluence of health & employment issues leaving them facing eviction this week. They don't talk about the challenges on this GoFundMe page, but the risk is real. If you can help it's greatly appreciated gofundme.com/f/15-years-of-t…

Few things are better than volunteering at Huntsman SportsFest. When things seem overwhelming, don't just "look for the helpers", BE A HELPER. End Cancer! Donation link can be found at hope.huntsmancancer.org/spor… and watch for next year's event.

To all those saying "shouldn't we root out government inefficiency? What's wrong with DOGE?" a quick background on Constitutional law and why the WAY it is being violated exposes the true motives of the criminals:

I won't spend a lot of time here in the coming weeks & I'm not interested in debating the details of the executive actions by the incoming president. Nor am I interested in debating the merit or folly of the last minute actions of the outgoing president. I have only this plea...

If the names of those camps don't ring a bell & you don't find their history to be a shameful blot on the history of this country that proclaims "liberty and justice for all", it's even more important to visit, to study, and to learn.

Do it now! Do it before this administration fully transports us back in it's clear, transparent, and abhorrent effort to Make America Hate Again. /fin

I'm rarely on this dumpster of hate site anymore, but somehow I'm still shocked at the vilification of a great and humble man of God in the replies to this. It's a whole new list of people to block.
Jimmy Carter lived a life of service, integrity and faith. As a man deeply devoted to his country and to humanitarian efforts around the globe, he leaves a legacy that transcends politics. Our prayers are with his family and all who mourn his passing.
