This is a picture of me on Grandeur Peak, which is a trail @SenMikeLee will sell. I'm a 7th-gen Salt Lake resident. I was born here and thought I would die here. If this legislation passes, it would destroy everything our ancestors built. Call your legislature. #FuckMikeLee

@gratiattitude @kycatsfan2009 @rcsprouljr @jimfastjunocom1 This is my question. His response is utterly idiotic. Only a stupid person could post that.

[Aesthetica @Anc_Aesthetics]

Bill Gates is the largest private farmland owner in the United States.

- One of Mike Lee’s biggest donors is Microsoft.

Harlan Crow is a billionaire real estate developer.

- Harlan Crow is one of Mike Lee’s biggest donors

Blackstone Group is a private equity firm that invests in real estate.

Blackstone is one of Mike Lee’s biggest donors

Mike Lee wants to sign into law the biggest sale of federal land in modern history for peanuts on the dollar.

Probably nothing.

Eagerly waiting to hear from you, who claim to represent Utah's interests on why we should sell off our most precious assets to the highest bidder. I'm 7th-gen Utahn and Lee doesn't get to destroy what our ancestors preserved. @CelesteMaloyUT @BurgessOwens @GovCox @SenJohnCurtis

[Nate Blouin @NateForUtah]

you know what to do

[Melissa @WeekendWomanWar]

@crazyus I've called Sen Curtis and Rep Burgess and both my state reps. I've sent out the numbers to everyone I can to call as well. I want them to hear from every damn one of us.

[Melissa @WeekendWomanWar]

@GovCox What is your stance on Senator Lee's proposed sell of Utah's public lands? This would be disastrous for our state, environmentally and economically. I'd really like to know why you're so silent on this issue.

[Melissa @WeekendWomanWar]

@BasedMikeLee Saw you running from the press, you coward. That was hilarious. Such a big man behind the keyboard. Such a moron in real life.

"Tim Walz is a Radical Communist who is coming after your guns," they nervously shout...

How many 24-year army veteran, football coach, hunters, who are 'radical communists,' do you guys know?

MAGA would use the same buzzwords on anyone because they don't have actual talking points.

Meanwhile they support the convicted felon running with the guy, who thinks women without children should have less a say in our Republic.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

A Few things to know about Tim Walz, the possible future Vice President of the United States:

- Born in Nebraska.
- Married with 2 children.
- Command Sergeant Major in the Army National Guard for 24 years.
- High School Teacher and Football coach.
- 6-Term US Representative.
- 2-Term Governor of Minnesota (Re-elected in 2022)
- Moderate Democrat Known for his ability to work across the aisle, Walz has a reputation for bipartisan collaboration.
- Pro Business, Pro-balanced budget, Pro-farmer.

He's the candidate that Trump feared the most because of his moderate policies and appeal to Independent voters in the Midwest.

@mamanobles @AnneJoLee @naturetechfam @GarfieldNPS @DryTortugasNPS Just got back. Have you purchased tickets yet?

[Melissa @WeekendWomanWar]

@CandicePierucci you know this isn't about tax dollars, it's about your bigotry. If the bus had been wrapped in flags for Memorial Day, you wouldn't have said a peep. You should drive around the south valley and see all the pride flags. I will remember when it's your re-election.

[Melissa @WeekendWomanWar]

Stay out of the slots.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: Flash flood potential increases for your Friday & into your weekend. #utwx gets soggier with some decent storm/rain chances. #TheMighty5 & region have the possibility of a flash flood @archesNP @canyonlandsNP @ZionNP @brycecanyonNPS @capitolreefnps @abc4utah

[Melissa @WeekendWomanWar]

@mattsnextsteps Not really. I'm always a little sad to be away from home.

[Melissa @WeekendWomanWar]

@joeDmarti And not to burst your bubble more, they weren't actually timing you to see if you beat your old records. Those times were made up. —Signed an aunt who "timed" how long it took her nephews to run around the house three times

4 people have died this spring in Buckskin Gulch in 2 separate incidents. Please take precautions before going into the Southwest's slots. These men were all from out of state and I wonder if they understood the danger.

[Aspen’s Tracks @aspenfoxtracks]

Another tragedy in Buckskin Gulch. Seems storm cell stalled over Coyote Wash, which rose about 5 ft by sunset, then Wire Pass flashed to ≈40 ft around 10 PM. It was probably deeper in Buckskin.

The only safety is to not be there when it happens.

@ForeverLostInT2 I thought I beat it. Stayed up until night time, slept 11 hours, and felt like a million dollars. The next two days I have been so sick. I'm drinking a lot of water and Gatorade and taking Bonine. Still struggling.

[Melissa @WeekendWomanWar]

@KSL_Matt No, but at least I had a pretty nighttime walk looking for it.
