There was a protester on Foothill with a sign: The VA kills Veterans (paraphrased). Was he referring to the suicides on VA campuses nationwide as a possible form of protest? #SaltLakeCity #utah

This from @nytimes is the best cartogram of the US I've seen. How we portray the US shapes our political imagination; given the representation disparities of the Senate and Electoral College, more than ever we need to depict the US in units of population rather than land.

Salt Lake City Fire Department will be deploying 2 structural protection engines to assist with the fires in southern California. Crews will be joining the UFA, West Valley, and Uintah and will leave tomorrow morning. *correction from earlier. It will be Southern California

@VCscanner My sister said the fire is coming down the Conejo Grade and can be seen from Rice Ave.

Last day of National Week of Action Against School Pushout. Our most vulnerable students, including girls of color, may receive discipline, not support, when school issues arise. We're working w/ community partners @RJU801 @utchildren @DLCofUT @acluutah & #utleg to change that.

Women’s hike in Emigration Canyon produced deep conversations about politics, racism, sexism, and life’s struggles as a woman. #womenshike #utah #resist

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

The Senate confirmed Kavanaugh. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “We go ahead together or we go down together.” It is clear the party of Donald Trump wants us to go down together, ramming through a nominee at the expense of the legitimacy of our highest court and public trust.

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

Kavanaugh's confirmation will affect all of us in real, and even dangerous ways.

Some of you are probably worried about what the coming days will bring for either yourselves or your family members.

I hear you, I see you, and I am sorry for what you are going through right now.
