Hi, I’m God.

I’m not sure how so many people became brainwashed, but I’m seriously considering another flood.

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Thank you to New Mexico Representative Melanie Stansbury for the critical reminder that 'This Is Not Normal' and choosing to speak truth to power through her silent protest.

As George Orwell once reflected, "In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

Only a coward signs a bill like this, especially at the end of a Friday going into a holiday weekend. Disgusting.

We went to the #Capitol today to stand against UT #HB267. Eleven Dispatchers, and none of us were heard by the committee because we the public overflowed 3 rooms and into the halls. Unfortunately, the Senate committee moved it on with a vote of 4-3. On to the floor. Please call your Senators! #utleg

UT HB 267 cleared the House with a 42-32 vote today despite HUGE opposition. Several Republicans joined Democrats to vote against it. Now we contact our Senators to make our voices heard and tell them to vote NO! #utpolitics #firstresponder #union #listentous #thisisbullshit

UT HB 267 (Public Sector Labor Union Amendment) to be heard in session at 11 am MDT *TODAY* Please call your representatives this morning to tell them to vote NO! This bill would expose all public employees (911/FD/PD) and families, including me and mine! #utpolitics #firstresponder #union #help

The Hegseth confirmation shows that Republican lawmakers have put party over country. They should be ashamed, but I doubt if they are.

***Please read the State of Utah 2025 House Bill 267: Public Sector Labor Union Amendments*** Basically, the state wanted to use money that can only be spent on education for something else and the Teachers' Union sued, as I believe they should. Now ALL Public Employees are targets?! #thisisbullshit

A screenshot from the Utah State Legislature that lists what House Bill 267 includes. Most notably, "prohibits a public employer from recognizing a labor organization as a bargaining agent," "prohibits a public employer from entering into collective bargaining contracts," and "excludes new employees for a labor organization from participating in Utah Retirement Systems."
