Grad Resources Encouraging and equipping graduate students for impact.

I just learned that there's a national graduate student crisis line - gradresources.org. Might be worth spreading the word as I'm pretty sure exactly *checks notes* zero grad students are doing well emotionally right now.

I've been following the issue of independence for Greenland for many years, and Qupanuk Olsen's page for about a year. I'm sorry that she does not have a presence here on BlueSky, but I hope others will find ways to support her and the people of Greenland.

Video Rubio hopes talks with Ukraine can be ‘reset,’ but it won't be ‘an easy peace deal’ George Stephanopoulos interviews Secretary of State Marco Rubio on “This Week.”

Rubio thinks we haven't seen the video. Did Zelenskyy not have the *obligation* to inquire about what kind of diplomacy? Was he just supposed to trust the very people who, the day before, said that it was Ukraine who had invaded Russia? abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/vid...

Utah’s only openly LGBTQ lawmaker choked back tears ~ "The LGBTQ community is so tired. We are so tired of being scared every year when this body meets, because we don’t know how we’re going to be targeted.”

HB269 was supported by all Republicans in the House on a 59-13 vote and Cox signed it.

Utah Republicans Move to Overhaul Universal Mail-In Voting Utah’s universal mail-in voting could be the first casualty of a Republican overhaul of the state’s election operations.

Utahns please pay attention to this; your mail-in-ballots will soon become opt-in only.

Our state has had one of the most secure mail-in voting operations in the nation, but many non-conservative voters would vote by mail. That is the real reason behind this.

Utah: Where we attack settled science to cozy up politically to brain-wormed idiots.
