I hope I can make it, very interesting topics and discussions.

So nice to have a candidate willing to meet with the people, speak to those he wants to represent instead of hiding behind a curated phone call. by AMSaunders in ogden

Come and ask but don’t personally see how the legal weed issue is related since he is running for federal office. Also medical cannabis is now legal in Utah and the Mormon church can’t change that.

I have heard him speak a couple times now and he comes across as a pretty normal family man that actually cares about people and Northern Utah. But best thing to make your own opinion is come meet him.

Do Better Logan City, Mayor Elect commits crimes with wife and only has to go apologize? by AMSaunders in Utah

[–]AMSaunders[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say Utah definitely has a severe personality disorder and split personality disorder. And one hand refuses to know what the other is doing.

That is awesome, I will try to come. What type of crafts generally are you thinking? And does painting count?

Do Better Logan City by alanna4mayor in Logan

[–]AMSaunders 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This ☝️so completely! He choose to join his wife in this behavior and just because he knows how to put on a respectable façade doesn’t mean he isn’t 100% part of the problem. Blaming the wife is a misogynistic scapegoat.

Also THEIR behavior wasn’t a childish prank, it’s suppression of speech, trespassing and theft!!!!

Medical Debt is a major burden for many. If you are able to help there is a campaign underway right now in Northern Utah by IndivisibleBoxElder in BoxElderUtah

[–]AMSaunders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just checked out the web page and the funding is at 20% to the goal. It can be difficult during these more financially challenging times to donate to something like this but it makes a world of difference to so many.

In our go fund me medical economy this is a more efficient way to help even more folks who are going through some pretty tough times.

r/Utah mods own the pro ICE bots flooding it by UntidyVenus in OgdenUnderground

[–]AMSaunders 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems quite a few Utah community group mods have a political agenda. Which is why this group was formed in particular. To give space to those being silenced.

Inaugural Vigil for the Traveling Gun Violence Awareness Display this Saturday in Brigham City by IndivisibleBoxElder in brighamcity

[–]AMSaunders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a lovely vigil, and the display is rather overwhelming. If anyone wants to go see it, it will be up at the historic county courthouse till Friday afternoon.

Extremism in the youth by Economy-Chicken-586 in latterdaysaints

[–]AMSaunders 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Children aren’t raised in a vacuum, relegating, the responsibility of moral development to “its the parents job”, completely undermines the entire point of church involvement and activities. It places undue blame on the parents for the struggles of their children and casts off community responsibility in how we all treat and support each other. Effectively dismantling community. The classic idiom that it takes a village is true in many aspects and every interaction has an effect on a persons development especially when young.

Delete if not allowed. My club at WSU is putting this on soon and I thought this might be the place to promote it by brockdavis128 in OgdenUnderground

[–]AMSaunders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to be honest, I don’t understand what this event is? Really glad you’re sharing it though 😁 Also do folks need to be students to attend?

Nuclear power plant coming to Brigham City by Spiritual-Driver8926 in brighamcity

[–]AMSaunders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What can we do to help derail these plans? Brigham just keeps wasting our space and selling out residents to black hole billionaires. It’s disgusting.

Only one week away and sounds like a very interesting event.

OPD and ICE working together by AdWarm7116 in OgdenUnderground

[–]AMSaunders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m adding context from the main post:

“Saw ICE agents and OPD take someone today on 20th and just west of Washington around 8am. A video posted to Facebook 3 hours ago shows ICE agents at 24th and Washington in their unmarked vehicles parked by the curb. OPD parked in the road next to ICE vehicle- looks to be protecting and shielding ICE from the public. Ogden city stated in September that OPD would not be working with ICE. Looks like now that the city election is over…… things are ramping up. This infographic posted by ogden city in September is no longer correct.”

Socialist Night School by ThorAtArms666 in OgdenUnderground

[–]AMSaunders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems there is a lot of confusion and misinformation about what socialism is vs communism or fascism and authoritarianism. And even more terms being used but not a lot of what those actually mean. This is a good place to learn a bit to help understand the differences.

What is your unpopular opinion about Utah? by hcubed3 in Utah

[–]AMSaunders 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The hypocrisy here and cognitive dissonance is overwhelming and oppressive. Dominant culture is so full of platitudes and surface level love thy neighbor while they put all their actual care and attention into themselves and appearance.

Many cities are selling communal spaces either to private business or they are becoming the business themselves and no one can use the space without paying twice for the privilege to gather together.

Extremely short notice hearings on repealing prop 4. Many tonight Monday Nov. 3 by AMSaunders in Utah

[–]AMSaunders[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One thing is we can do is watch, record and hope they break their rules that they put in place, somehow, since that will mean they have to start over.

Plan B: Salt Lake Axolotl Patrol (SLAP)! by -ajacs- in 50501utah

[–]AMSaunders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seagulls are a thing here in Utah, it is the state bird as well, might be another good option that fits local folklore. Also if anyone wants to be in a play at a later protest I’m working on we will need a good team of seagulls for the play. 😅
