What actually happened at the Salt Lake City "No Kings" shooting? One man is dead. Another is in jail–but not the one who fired his gun.

This is a beautiful piece with quotes from several of my friends from New College.

Wild to think this is the kind of person that is so threatening to DeSantis & friends. ...someone who accepted her students unconditionally & left them her life savings.
“She adopted us, and we adopted her.” Over 50 years of teaching art history at New College of Florida, one professor carved out an influential but complex legacy. Her 31 favorite students inherited her intensity, her quirks and her life savings.

Thousands of Utahns demonstrated in Salt Lake City Saturday as part of the nationwide “Hands Off” protests against the actions of the Trump administration. There were other gatherings in at least seven other places in Utah, as well.

Right. Republican elites want to do to NIH and every American university what Republican elites did to Florida universities — oppress academic freedom, and turn them to ideological mediocrity.

If you watched the Florida attacks on universities and can share details, please reply below. ⬇️🧪
He can take the remaining places of excellence and drive them into the ground. New College was known to be academically excellent and diverse. Now it is becoming mediocre and non-diverse.

I’m somehow on a Heritage Foundation mailing list (😂) and they sent a survey to see what we think of DOGE.

Who wants to offer some m-fing feedback?!?

RFJ just cancelled the VRBPAC meeting to select flu shots (see @sarahkarlin-smith.bsky.social for details). PLEASE call your STATE reps using the script below.
Call to action-Childhood vax/covid boosters (plz boost)

RFK has fired ACIP to replace with his antivaxxers; kid vax + covid/flu/RSV boosters are at risk. States can make their own requirements. Use @5calls.org or @resist.bot to call your STATE reps to keep vax access. Script outline below.

The @utah.edu has over 608 NIH grants, totaling over $275M dollars.

The latest Trump administration moves on NIH budgets remove close to $100M in funding immediately, when indirects already don’t cover the cost of research, and ultimately put all of that in jeopardy.

Scientists and journalists need to figure out right quick how to explain to the average person how a massive change in research indirects will impact the medical care they and their children get (eg at the local children’s hospital), the education their children will get, the price of tuition, etc.

Seems like a good time to re-share my essay which has a whole section titled, “What, even, is ‘DEI’?”

DEI isn't racist. The people who say it is often are.
As someone who has worked in "DEI," broadly speaking, for almost 15 years, here's what right-wing propagandists get so, so wrong and why we actually need DEI.
