@BakoProgress @GovCox @jaketapper @POTUS You're not wrong about polygamy, but people deserve to stay alive, no matter what the reason is why others think they should be killed. The point is, the settlers fled to another country to stay alive, and Utahns are paying it forward.

@GovCox @POTUS Proud to be on your team, Sir.

@AutismTalkAspie Autistic person here. I have to admit, the debate itself makes me really uncomfortable, but identity-first language has become an important identifier among #actuallyautistic folx. If someone uses identity-first language, I think they're more likely to be safe.
