I hope they are doing this more & more. Thank you. Now we just need to see it with open drug use in parks. Can you give us a bust using the drone in Richmond or Taufer Park? Please get one done or a previous one & post like this on social media…would love to see it in action. Several of my calls have been responded to with a drone, but unfortunately, certain factors prevented them from obtaining footage because the suspects stopped what they were doing prior to the drone's arrival. @slcpd @SLCPublicLands @theutahepidemic @Clancy4Utah @Austin__Taylor @SLCO_Sheriff @saltlakejustice @SimGillDA

Holy cow!
FBI Director Kash Patel@FBIDirectorKash
🚨 Arcadia Mayor Eileen Wang in California has been charged with acting as an illegal agent of the People’s Republic of China in the United States. Mayor Wang admitted to acting as a foreign agent from at least 2020 through 2022 - promoting PRC propaganda in the U.S. and acting at PRC’s direction to promote their interests. She has agreed to resign from office and plead guilty. @FBI and our federal partners continue to move aggressively to root out this kind of influence in American institutions all over the country. nypost.com/2026/05/11/us-…

Was that money properly appropriated by Congress and were the renovations cleared through the proper channels?

@ChaserSword6449 @thinbluesublime @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu The real stupidity is believing we should replace one bad option with another

@WasatchWhig @thinbluesublime @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu “They prioritized keeping the one city where everyone lives together instead of splitting it up like a pizza!”
You people are so goddamned stupid it hurts

Look at Utah. I live in that minuscule, blue district. If that isn’t gerrymandering, I don’t know what is. That little thing was created to give the Democrats a seat by packing all the blue voters into one district. Crazy.

@politicalmath @Pro_Nuke Most “Republican” “banned” books are books with sexual themes.

None of these books have been "banned" from public libraries and the few that have been "banned" from school libraries were banned for racial slurs in Burbank CA, which was +34 D in the 2024 election
Richard Angwin@RichardAngwin
These are just some of the books Republicans have banned in school and public libraries around the country. Who's read any of these ??

@DiehardOsfan55 @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu That’s total BS, there’s plenty of ways to split SLC once and not have this clear gerrymander.
English
@WasatchWhig @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu And the Utah map was redrawn because the Fair Districts Amendment stated that you couldn’t split any county more than once so SLC had to have its own district.
English
@thinbluesublime @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu Putting West Valley with Foothill & the Avenues makes less sense than putting West Valley with Kerns, & South Jordan.
People pretending SLC is a strong cohesive city is very disconnected from the reality here.
There’s a reason no homeless shelters are by SLC ‘s major hospitals.
English
English
@WasatchWhig @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu No you don’t, because arguing that SLC is a Dem pack is arguing that it’s a *Republican* gerrymander by saying that the Dems should have *more* districts because the GOP “packed” them all into one district. And SLC isn’t one district, it’s 1 district + part of another district.
English
@DiehardOsfan55 @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu SLC shouldn’t be 1 or 4 districts. Both are terrible gerrymanders.
I totally understand packing & cracking. I understand what gerrymandering is whether I like the outcome or not, unlike you.
English
@WasatchWhig @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu Yeah they packed SLC into a single district because it makes no fucking sense to have it split among 4 districts. The previous map was a very obvious gerrymander, the one that replaced it is not. You’re the idiot who doesn’t understand the concept of packing and cracking.

☀️ Today in Utqiagvik (the northernmost city in the United States), the sun rose above the horizon at 2:57 AM and won’t set again for 84 straight days or until August 2nd! Here's a look at a timelapse showing the sunset and sunrise this morning. #akwx

Weber county detective LIED to a family of a child s3xual abuse victim and said prosecutors would not be filing charges against her abuser, but the case was NEVER SENT to prosecutors to be screened for charges.
He is still not in jail. How many other children have been harmed in the meantime?!

It comes after a child sexual abuse case was mishandled and did not meet the agency's standards. ow.ly/PHvv50YXg5A

We are supposed to feel bad for land owners because there is high demand for their property?
Alex Fasulo@alex_fasulo
Today I spoke with a local farm owner who has been aggressively approached by SIX different solar companies to lease her acreage. This woman is actively farming and selling produce at local farmer’s markets. This is a foreign corporate invasion that’ll interrupt our future food supply more than people are talking about.

A big data point that's going to get discussed a lot once we're beyond the immediate political tensions of the moment is how the Trump era was the era where various aspects of leftwing radicalism was able to repackage itself to fit a moment of right-wing populist hysteria. The list goes on and on (RFK, Tulsi Gabbard, Trump himself, etc.) of former Democrats whose fundamental stances didn't change but who found the Republican Party suddenly more fertile ground for their radicalism than had been the Democratic Party.
And now that the populist moment in the Republican Party is starting to fade and the Democratic Party is beginning to have their own, no surprise at all that these erstwhile Republicans are returning to the radical leftist pits that spawned them.

Nick Fuentes came out as a Democrat this week, and he's not alone. Many erstwhile Right-wing podcasters are now finding they have more in common with the Left these days, thanks to a meeting of minds on a singular issue: One's level of comfort blaming Jews for the world’s ills.
English
@DiehardOsfan55 @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu Gerrymandering is changing district lines to get a desired outcome. In this case, they packed a district to get a safe Democrat district.
You partisan hacks do mental gymnastics to justify corrupt politics. We’re seeing the tit for tat nationwide give us worse candidates.
English
@WasatchWhig @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu The concept of “packing” when it comes to gerrymandering is sticking all of one party in as few districts as possible so the rest are safe for the other party. That’s the whole point behind it. So you’re misusing the term.
English
@KilleyAlex @Buhlerzzz @rich_byu Proportional? Interesting since that metric means it’s focused on voter affiliation: exactly what prop 4 said is not supposed to be done making maps. This is a clear gerrymander done to get a desired political outcome.
English
@WasatchWhig @Buhlerzzz @rich_byu No, it definitely is not. It's far more proportional now, and that matters a lot. It's the most commonly cited statistic to determine if a map is fair.
English
@DiehardOsfan55 @shanesmith336 @JeffMindel @rich_byu Packing & cracking are both common gerrymandering techniques. They are independent of each other.
Picking voters to get a desired party, is gerrymandering. Districts should combine common interests but not by focused on giving any particular party priority.
English
@shanesmith336 @WasatchWhig @JeffMindel @rich_byu I should say it not necessarily gerrymandering. In some cases it is, but only if it accompanied by cracking.
