I am so surprised and grateful that small Cox finally made a rational, unpopular, good decision.

We’re so fucked. No Utah municipality can ban fireworks completely, but they can prohibit them in hazardous areas. I live in a restricted area, and people in my neighborhood set off fireworks last night. When it happened last year, an innocent family’s home was burned down. But we don’t learn here.

Opinion: Let’s take a one-year break from lighting fireworks
With Utah in a persistent drought, and with active fires in many locations, this is not the time to play with matches.

The spray paint should be a tax write off for whoever is painting “NO” and “NAZI” on Trevor Lee’s campaign posters. That’s some good work. Also completely insane this is what he considers violence.

This is Renee Good. She was a mother of a six-year-old child. She was an American citizen. She described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer from Colorado.” And she was gunned down in cold blood and broad daylight by Trump’s ICE agents.

ICE policy requires the use of bodyworn cameras. Video should be available from every agent who was involved in the death of a citizen in Minneapolis. ICE should release all of that video so the public can have clarity about the Secy's claim the shooting was self defense. www.ice.gov/news/release...

Our reasons are different, but thinking everything that’s happened with Venezuela has been a stupid move that’s going to lead to unnecessary backlash is the first thing my dad and I have agreed on since Trump’s first term. Weird place to suddenly draw a line, but a welcome change.
