Tim Elliott and Darlene McDonald lead the Salt Lake City No Kings crowd in chants as they near City Hall, where some will drop off ballots.

You’ve continued to show up. ❤️ You’ve stayed engaged. 💯 Now, it’s time to vote. 🗳️ The midterms are here. Don’t sit this one out. Believing that it doesn’t matter is literally the reason we have this current administration. Too many of you, sat it out. www.sltrib.com/news/2026/10...

‘No Kings’ rallies were held across Utah. This time, protesters brought their ballots.

Cheers rippled through the marching crowd all the way to a downtown Salt Lake City ballot box, where voters proudly held up their yellow ballots before dropping them in.

Is now a good time to remind people that lynchings were also public executions? White families—including women and children—routinely attended these lynchings in large numbers. For those who say, “This is not who we are. We’re better than this,” our own documented history proves otherwise.

If none of the 57 men on a group chat that were invited to participate in a gang rape took any action to stop it, should any of us be surprised that Jeffrey Epstein’s best bud is the President of the United States and people STILL full-throated support him?

White presenting Hispanics are still Hispanic. We tried to tell you. Ya’ll wouldn’t listen. Thought it only applied to folks from that ‘other’ Latino country. In a country run by white nationalists trying to ‘take their country back’ all brown people are Black and all Hispanics are from Mexico.

Who was that Sarah person on Money Power Politics with @stephruhle.bsky.social ? I didn’t agree with her AT ALL. Dems DO talk ‘kitchen table’ issues. Republicans start culture wars and are better at convincing people to care more about fake issues while doing better financially under Democrats.

Trump inherited one of the strongest economies in the world, yet 33% of Americans still think he inherited a disaster. The power of right wing propaganda. #BlueWaveIn90Days

What value does John Kasich brings to MS Now? I can’t see any. Everything he says…but the Democrats…. Just stop. 🛑

“A journalist asked me what I would like my epitaph to be and I said I think I would like it to be, 'He did very little harm'. And that's not easy. Most people seem to me to do a great deal of harm. If I could be remembered as having done very little, that would suit me.” Actor Paul Eddington #sage

Barack Obama is unbothered and unfazed by Donald Trump, but let’s be clear. Trump’s cyberbully of Barack and Michelle Obama is intentional. Trump’s supporters understand his ‘coded’ language. Trump’s target becomes their target. (The comment at the WH UFC) What is Secret Service waiting for?

Is this not an attack on religious freedom?

Trump is now using his platform to attack kindergarteners because they are Muslim

DO NOT expect Folarin Balogun to do what Neil Gorsuch would not do.

Ballot still in the mail pile? It can’t count if you don’t turn it in.

Companies pay tens of millions of dollars for this type product placement in a movie! Altoids got a forever product placement at the Obama Presidential Center Grand Opening for FREE!

Michelle Obama does not have to prove her womanhood. Barack Obama did not have to prove his citizenship. The fact that these things are part of the conversation is the very reason why America 250 is feeling exactly like America, 250 years ago.

Many people compare the UFC matches at the White House to Roman Gladiator matches. In light of the comment by UFC Fighter Josh Hokit about forever FLOTUS Michelle Obama, a more appropriate comparison is President Woodrow Wilson’s screening of Ku Klux Klan movie, The Birth of A Nation.

Donald Trump’s Battery Park, moment. Upset that his plan to build a massive bridge connecting Brooklyn to Lower Manhattan was blocked, NYC’s infamous Park Commissioner Robert Moses closed the park—for 12 YEARS! These two men share many similarities other than the City of New York. None are good.

A tarp now covers where Trump's name used to hang at the Kennedy Center

The Kennedy Center confirmed in a court filing Saturday that it has removed President Trump's name from the building, the website, staff email signatures and letterhead, complying with a federal judge...

Donald Trump put his name on a dead man’s living memorial believing he could redirect the glory bestowed to John F Kennedy on to himself. It didn’t work. JFK is revered DJT is despised To compensate, he builds large structures, slaps his name on them and demand worship. A sad pathetic man

CNN left out a key detail in this headline. Trump’s name was removed in the wee hours of the morning after workers installed scaffolding, stood around for hours, and then lowered a tarp to block visibility. Just like the Epstein files. All done to protect the Predator-in- Chief

The man that’s worth 1 Trillion dollars is also directly responsible for hundreds of thousands, potentially millions, of deaths globally due to the sudden cuts in USAID because of his racism and a grudge. Let that sink in.

The NAACP is asking Black collegiate players to not sign with schools in states that pass redistricting maps that diminish the Black vote. The same should be asked for teams traveling to the U.S for the World Cup. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Who makes the first stand?

MAGA-aligned people will claim categorically that one man named Barack Obama is responsible for the racial division in the country. Obama is guilty of having the audacity to exist as the exact opposite of what they believe a Black man and the Black family in America is. And they can’t stand it.

In a representative democracy, citizens elect officials to make laws and govern on their behalf. Members of Congress are elected to represent citizens’ interests at the federal level. Electing representatives that are loyal to a person rather than the people, is not a representative democracy.
