With the #utleg session around the corner, I decided to compile some pro tips specifically for the people who are most essential to the functioning of Utah’s representative democracy: legislative interns. :)

This one’s for you. 🧵

New rule for Utah Journalists: If you’ve never ridden the bus, you shouldn’t be allowed to report on the inversion or air quality. If you insist on doing so, you should disclose your lack of multi-modal experience. #slc #utpol

Today I met with @CWS_global New York to discuss the vital work they do supporting refugees, immigrants, and asylum seekers in our city, who are under unprecedented attack from Trump’s militarized secret ICE police.

Trump’s abuse of power and disdainful, inhuman attack on immigrants is un-American and unacceptable.

I’m grateful for the work of Church World Service fighting back.

We had a lovely first day at the Capitol last Friday. Thank you to our speakers @TheaAHolcomb and @Mikenziee for their insight on how to navigate the upcoming session, and to @KiloZamora for showing us around!

📣 If you live in DC and recently (or non-recently) moved somewhere new, *now* is a good time to check/update your voter registration.📣

(super easy to do now, but in a few days it'll get a smidge more tedious)

NEWS — The Biden administration will not be extending the legal status of tens of thousands of Venezuelan migrants who were allowed to fly to the U.S. under a sponsorship program, according to officials and internal documents.

Guys, undocumented immigrants have mostly been ineligible for almost all federal housing benefits for decades.
Curious about this supposed federal reserve study.
Housing in Denver and DC cost a fortune long before Abbott bussed migrants there.
This one is easy.

I can’t wait for the surprised guest at the DNC tonight: the context of all in which we live and what came before us.

[CWS @CWS_global]

We urge governments and universities to protect the civil liberties of protesters and the safety of students as they lift their voices in support Palestinian families facing continued bombardment and starvation. #ceasefirenow

Learning: when gathering folks for interfaith dialogue, expect a selection bias toward a certain ~forcefulness of spirit.~ :) 💥

I’m beginning to realize even pretty high-info news consumers don’t know Congress is currently in the midst of negotiating a radically hawkish bill that’d be the biggest change to immigration law since 1996.

If you follow me you know this but maybe your friends don’t? Tell em!

[Thea Holcomb @TheaAHolcomb]

Too many institutions that exist to respond to forced displacement are deciding that their mandate to advocate for displaced people worldwide does not include Palestinians.

Begging my Salt Lake City people to pls for the love of all that is holy show up and vote for @erinforslc. 🗳️

[Thea Holcomb @TheaAHolcomb]

Anyone else been thinking a lot about "A Problem From Hell" lately? 👀

emailing constituents with your .gov address to float a run for governor is probably legal, right
