The Trump Administration is conducting mass layoffs at the FAA despite recent plane crashes, protests are set to break out today across America protesting Trump, and Europe holds an emergency summit.
As a Utahn, I’m disgusted. It’s embarrassing but since Election Day, I’ve seen more open racism and Nazism. Patriot Front marched in front of Herriman city hall just miles from me.
It’s comforting to know there are other reasonable citizens out here in the Herriman area- Patriot Front marching a few miles from my house was very unsettling and disturbing.
As a Utahan - the bill was to not allow the pride flag to be displayed but other flags could, such as showing a flag during a history lesson (so the congressman said and then denied saying the Nazi flag could be displayed-but ppl had receipts). Intent and what the bill would actual do are two different things and there was an uproar. I believe the bill has since been amended to allow state flags and American flag *only*.
I attended a Town Hall at Riverton City Hall with Doug Fiefia, Dan McCay, and Mark Strong. They specifically mention this bill and the ability to display the Nazi and Confederate flags in class due to historical lesson. They seemed quite smug about it. Especially considering the town hall prior year, Strong had his panties in a twist over the Pride flag and one of them (I think it was McCay) stated he would like to see “stars & bars” in the class. I hadn’t followed up on the bill so I’ll check out the amendment. This group wasn’t as fired up over the flags as it was mainly expressing frustration over HB300 and HB445 in tandem with the Fed SAVE Act suppressing voters.
We are trying unfortunately it seems our peaceful protests are not doing enough. We are doing everything but storming Capital like those MAGA criminals 🙄
Yes I think we are going to have to be more drastic in our resistance than peaceful protests. It's scary to think about and I'm not saying go full violence or anything but we need to organize and find ways that get attention meaning they are impacting those that we need the attention of.
Loud and effective voices but the one who shall not be named on June 14th (another outrageous bid for attention) is itching to bring out the troops or call down martial law so everyone needs to be disciplined about no violence or destruction.
The only reason I know this is because it’s my Dad’s bday too- but trumps bday falls on flag day- a national holiday- and I think this bill just sums up republicans- that they want to put trump above our flag.
This is getting exhausting but I refuse to back down! I refuse to fight. I also cannot afford to lose my income so protesting within my own state, at my state’s capitol building would be career suicide for me since I work for my state.
My husband and I are both 100% P&T veterans as well. He is retired from AD, going to school. I work and we have our family we are supporting. Our multi-generational family. It’s too expensive for the kids to find their own place. We all live together and we are barely surviving with inflation getting out of hand. We were not living above our means until inflation. Now we barely keep up
I am truly worried about getting on a plane so have to decide to cancel a planned trip or hold off for a bit. Losing sleep over all this bad news. But keep it coming - need to know what is going on.
I am terrified to get on a plane now. I’ve flown my entire life all over this country and now I refuse. I’m in SC and have to travel to Boston MA for a month for my 2 yr olds surgery and after the angel plane crash in Philly I want to vomit at the thought of traveling by plane.
Same. I hope those who got fired are spiteful and not answer any emails or phone calls. Heck, go to a different country and work for them. These idiots in office want to fire people without even checking out what they do? Actions=consequences. They need to feel these consequences.
It’s all so disgusting. If DOGE’s genius hackers are so brilliant, how the hell could they lose email addresses of the people they fired?! They clearly are just eliminating workers indiscriminately. It’s so much worse than we even knew it would be.
Employee’s records are purged? and employee’s email accounts are deleted. I hear they are asking employee’s friends to try and let them know. What utter imbeciles. There is so much collateral damage and pain. But that is simply not on Musk’s radar. He’s having a field day of destruction.
I know, right? It is the most incompetent of administrations. But no surprise, the first time around they were just as disorganized as well. But this is bat-shit crazy.
How will this nightmare end? I’m looking forward to learning about how the public can resist, or are we just sitting ducks until the midterm elections.
Thanks, Aaron for the news, this isn’t directed toward you, we appreciate being informed. But that was a shitload of really horrible news, all the way around. What has stuck in my brain, I guess because this is new to me, Utah will allow the Nazi flag, WTF, WTF, WTF, 🤬 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 my dad would be turning in his grave if it wasn’t for the fact he was cremated. I grew up in a military household, dad 20 yr Army, 47th Infantry, 9th Division, WWII active duty, Korea, active duty and then he did recruiting. He was the most patriotic man and my mom figures into this as well. She wasn’t a veteran but she was. She was born in Scotland, married my dad in Edinburgh and came here in 1946 to start her new life in a country where she eventually became a citizen. She held down the fort at home while my dad was off in Korea. They both gave up much of their life for this country. I have his infantry boots, his mess kit and his sleeping bag that would have stories to tell. I have all his many, many metals that include a Bronze and Silver Star and a note book full of letters of commendation. A Nazi flag being flown anywhere in this country, makes me sick. An affront to my dad’s legacy and anyone who has or is serving in the US military.
A new Utah bill would ban the flying of Pride flags at government buildings and public schools but would allow Nazi and Confederate flags to fly.
WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK???????
That is suppression of the 1st amendment

That’s horrible. Why are they so afraid???
When will this nightmare end 😩
When we get serious about resisting and fighting back (me included).
We are trying unfortunately it seems our peaceful protests are not doing enough. We are doing everything but storming Capital like those MAGA criminals 🙄

When he does that we will know for sure if the military is with the people or have also bend the knee 🙄 I hope it's with the people.
I was just thinking the same thing.
It’s just beginning
The only reason I know this is because it’s my Dad’s bday too- but trumps bday falls on flag day- a national holiday- and I think this bill just sums up republicans- that they want to put trump above our flag.

I retired on a small teachers pension and am so stressed about it ending. As you know teachers do not get social security.
They just put a bill through that will let you collect social security
Yes 🙌🏼 only select states deny teachers social security.
My husband and I are both 100% P&T veterans as well. He is retired from AD, going to school. I work and we have our family we are supporting. Our multi-generational family.

Same with my mom.

We all have to stay safe!!!
I really hope those employees tell doge to fuck off! This regime is a bunch of idiots.
Same. I hope those who got fired are spiteful and not answer any emails or phone calls. Heck, go to a different country and work for them. These idiots in office want to fire people without even checking out what they do? Actions=consequences. They need to feel these consequences.
They need to start their own company and charge the government a billion dollars like Elon does.
Right! Or I'm sure Ukraine or Canada would love to have them.
Agree!!!
😱Ty Aaron for keeping us informed!💙🇺🇸💙🤜🤛
Trump has had more than one plane crash a week and he is hurting the FAA. Does the word traitor come to mind. HE is destroying us.
It’s all so disgusting. If DOGE’s genius hackers are so brilliant, how the hell could they lose email addresses of the people they fired?! They clearly are just eliminating workers indiscriminately. It’s so much worse than we even knew it would be.

So when are the airlines going to cut back on the number of flights? They will be in the crosshairs of the FAA cutbacks.
Yes I am serious. Yes this is real. I’m dead 🤣🤦🏼♀️
Can’t find their emails?!?? What you mean?!
I know, right? It is the most incompetent of administrations. But no surprise, the first time around they were just as disorganized as well. But this is bat-shit crazy.
Either lies or their fucking chaos...honestly I hope chaos takes them down but NOT with the rest of us. Ugh!!!!
Because DOGE deleted the ex employees govt emails. Why would the govt have personal email addresses?
I sure they have home addresses - send a telegram!
How will this nightmare end? I’m looking forward to learning about how the public can resist, or are we just sitting ducks until the midterm elections.
He wants to kill us all
I agree...thats part of the plan. He wants us dead.
Utah? What the actual fudge? My goodness.
It's been 27 days since he's been in office. 27 days.
🤬
