Only Utahns understand being surprised others are just learning about the acquisition.

You’re telling me “Kum & Go” rebranded to “Maverik” and I’m just now hearing about it?

How was there not more national outrage over this

[Aaron Welcher @AaronRWelcher]

@GBBranstetter @DavidAstinWalsh This made me giggle.

The language of transphobia is almost identical to the language of homophobia in the 80s/90s. I know this because I came out 36 yrs ago. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.

People smeared as unsafe in changing rooms, a danger to kids, sexually deviant, morally corrupting etc.

I love that Google is useless now because of AI

If the policies you support mirror pre-war Nazi Germany—just swapping ‘Jews’ for ‘trans people’—they’re still from the Nazi playbook.

It's not just sports. It's not just bathrooms. It's not just surgeries. This is what trans people are up against right now.

@RobertGehrke Omg, I usually speed them up to rip off the band-aid, but this might be the new trend.

@tvheidihatch Just as a friendly sharing of resources. I really enjoy this independent SCOTUS news blog.
Thanks for all your reporting - it’s appreciated! https://t.co/wuSfzA1Fu7

"We see this being really an incentive for arrests from local police stations and other sheriff departments to just find people who 'don't look American,'" said ACLU of Utah spokesperson Aaron Welcher. https://t.co/8lMUNRkq9D

@LindsayOnAir, your reporting embodied the vital role of a free press in our democracy. Your coverage checked government power and empowered the public to make informed choices. Thank you for being so dedicated to truth; it made a difference.

[Lindsay Aerts @LindsayOnAir]

This is not a fun post to write, but for people who follow me here for local news I wanted to share that I have been laid off from KSL. 

I've worked there for nine years, eight on radio and one on TV. It's sort of surreal that I won't get up each day and chase a story, chase a lawmaker, or hunt down a source. It's what I did for so long.

Thank you doesn't seem adequate to the people who have reached out with kind words, and to those who have supported me along the way.

And as one who often covered local politics, #utpol and the #utleg, there are people here who will undoubtedly celebrate this news. And that's okay. I'm very proud of the work I did.

I don't yet know my next move, or what this space will become and I'm okay with that too. I'm looking forward to what's possible. ❤️ Stay tuned.

@Tim_Badilyas I didn’t get the memo that we had to be serious and hard hitting 24-7.

“This is a civil rights and liberties issue, and that is everyone's topic,” said the ACLU of Utah’s @AaronRWelcher. https://t.co/tNQr7qvpGJ
