Our hearts are with the families of the AAPI women slain yesterday. Hatred is infectious and cumulative - it begins w pejoratives about race and evolves into acts of unspeakable violence. We must do more than condemn. Our responsibility is to protect and defend. By word and deed.
Gotta say, getting halfheartedly hit on by the random stranger who moments earlier swabbed my nostrils for a COVID test really is the most typical example of what it’s like to navigate life as a woman (or perceived woman). Happy Women’s History Month, everybody 🎉
I am *so* excited to share that today @sltrib is launching a database where you can now search thousands of pages of records about Utah "troubled-teen" facilities.
This is the first time these records have been readily available to the public: https://t.co/LiJbRn3hxN
i.e. - id est - "that is"
e.g. - exempli gratia - "for example"
et al. - et alia - "and the others"
et seq. - et sequens - "and the following ones" https://t.co/r28wxpazER
The draft legislation (which the gov's office for some reason isn't commenting on) would allow tech companies to effectively form local governments with the power to impose taxes, form school districts and other government functions

I want family and friends to see this picture. I want you to realize I am “the media.” I want you to see that people in our country would prefer to have me and my coworkers murdered and I want you to just let that sink in.
For years, @sltrib has maintained a database of police shootings. Last year, w help from @frontlinepbs, we expanded it. This is the first story of many exploring our findings. Today: 40% of Utah's police shootings in 2020 involved someone in mental crisis
