I never thought I'd have to say this publicly, but children shouldn't be forced to find a way to pay for their own meals while at school. Food insecurity, especially among school-aged children, is a problem both major political parties should work together to prevent.

You've provided a great deal of insight into your lack of understanding how reproductive healthcare actually works. This misinformation is primarily why the Utah legislature passed an unconstitutional trigger law in the first place. Stop wasting OUR money on these court cases.

I'm pretty sure stealing someone's American flag from their home and burning it would be treated as a crime, whereas burning any flag in the course of a formal protest is what was previously upheld by the United States Supreme Court.

The Open Meetings Act is nonetheless a state law. You can talk about anything you want as a councilmember, but to formally debate and vote on an agenda item requires a proper public noticing.

There is insufficient evidence at best to suggest that the reason HRC lost in 2016 was because of disaffected Bernie Sanders voters. Since Biden won in 2020, there is zero evidence to suggest Bernie Sanders is the reason he lost.
