I don't know when exactly I started feeling like there was some fight left in our tank, but I've been noticing it for a few weeks now.

The ICE raids, the Guard deployments, the fear — it’s all real.

Honestly really bummed to hear about The Leonardo closing in SLC. I know that building was way past its lifespan, but damn that museum was cool. Big loss for Utah's museum community.

I don't understand the "activist judges" claim in re: Prop 4 and #utpol - the GOP has had full authority to nominate and confirm every single judge in the fucking state - how is this some 'liberal conspiracy'?

Mike Lee Can’t Stop Throwing Social Media Grenades. His Church Isn’t Happy.

In 1946? What war criminal did we buy this off of lol
A pair of U.K. scholars discovered the mislabeled document in Harvard Law School's digital archives. The university bought it for just $27.50 in 1946. It turned out to be an authentic copy dating to 1300.
