Thank you for this piece.
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.

The tragedy of new college under desantis hits me again every time i encounter a story like this.
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.
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.

I recently finished a roll that I'm pretty sure I purchased in ~2014. I bought two at that time, so I happily dusted off the second one and opened it up for this decade!
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. ⬇️🧪
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?!?

I'm running a survey on how *U.S.* academics (grad students, faculty, admin., etc) think and feel about recent executive orders affecting academia (e.g., diversity, funding). Here

Happy Valentine's Day, especially to anyone who might identify with one of the letters in LGBTQ, particularly the day after someone Trumpy stripped the letter T and then the letter Q from the National Park Service website for Stonewall in New York City.

More information to come.
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.
report.nih.gov/award/index....
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.
...also bad, for the record!
Devasting for sure.
Yep
But it's wrecking all the things.
That one really hit me too. But no "facilitators"?
