The #Utah effort to overturn the Legislature's new law banning collective bargaining by public sector #labor #union s is looking good, according to the @sltrib . The signature-gathering effort to get a repeal on the ballot has to hit two milestones: 8% of active voters statewide, and 8% of active voters in half of the state senate districts. Signatures have been turned in, and now the state is validating them.

The first will be easy, as the petitioners turned in 320,000 vs. the 140,000 they needed state wide.

The second is looking very much on track as well, with 11 of the 15 needed met, and 3 more that are getting very close to the threshold. And so far the state has only validated 120,000 of the signatures turned in - though we don't know how many they have rejected, so we don't know if they are 37% through or further than that. But still, looks extremely likely to pass this hurdle.

And this is a crazy number of signatures - the most, by far, in state history, so I think it's a *very* good chance that it will pass the vote easily too.

I love trees, in all their stately splendor.

During the winter, when they discard their leaves, they show off their elegant, sculptured form.

Come spring, they array themselves in shades of green, which they swap out in the autumn for a panoply of colors. One imagines them at their closet, indecisive over red or gold? Orange or coral?

Zion National Park - Virgin River Valley View

As the golden light of late afternoon gently kisses the sandstone cliffs, the majesty of Zion National Park reveals itself in full glory. This image captures one of the most iconic views in the American Southwest—the Virgin River gracefully winding its way through the dramatic canyon.

Western San Juan Basketmaker-style anthropomorphic forms along the San Juan river (~1,000 BCE - ~400 CE). Forms are roughly life-size. The figure on the right may be wearing a mask. Some of those who see these forms as shamanic theorize the hanging feet represent an altered state. Raft trips out of Bluff, Utah stop at this panel.

#Radioactive #Uranium Trucks -- Slick Politicians and Easy-Chair Journalists

Article by #BrendaNorrell, Censored News, April 17, 2025

"The copy and paste journalists, and the slick politicians doing self-promotion selfies on social media, don't want the public to know the facts.

"This is #PinyonPlainUraniumMine in the #GrandCanyon, poisoning the air, land and water in the homeland of the #Havasupai.

"The #UraniumMine is spewing out #RadioactiveDust for the world travelers who love this place, poisoning traditional medicine plants, and endangering the aquifer for future generations.

"#Navajo President #BuuNygren secretly did a deal with the owners, #EnergyFuels, to bring radioactive #uranium ore trucks through the #NavajoNation, without the #NavajoNationCouncil's knowledge.

"This agreement for radioactive trucks, shown here [at the link below], is an extreme danger for everyone on the transport route -- #Havasupai, #Paiute, #Dine', #Hopi, #Ute, and the residents of #FlagstaffAZ.

"Remote Native communities have no way to deal with radioactive spills.

"The radioactive trucks are covered only with tarps and dump their loads in the #WhiteMesaUte community in southeastern #Utah."
