This week, Salt Lake County has over 1,800 open vaccine appointments at the Salt Palace between now and Thursday. If you or anyone you know still needs to get your first dose, you can register at vaccinate.utah.gov or call (385) 468-SHOT(7468).

At Apple, we’ve always believed that you should be in control of your data — what you do with it & who you share it with should be up to you. App Tracking Transparency in iOS 14.5 gives you the choice to share the data that’s being collected about you across apps and websites.

A quote from Rep Liz Cheney heavily lingering this morning as the GOP readies do remove her: “I will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former president’s crusade to undermine our democracy.”

Schools “can’t enforce masks” but sure did enforce not letting us wear shorts or spaghetti straps.

Never forget that we had all the scientific evidence we needed to act on global warming over 40 years ago, but the fossil fuel industry spent millions to spread disinformation and block climate action. Global warming isn’t a tragedy, it’s a crime.

Upper Mill Creek Canyon down to the winter gate is being closed and evacuated due to the Parleys Canyon fire in order to protect hikers. At the time, there are no evacuations in Millcreek City.

How much money did we spend in Afghanistan over the last 20 years that we were told we could never afford to spend at home?

Utah was settled by refugees fleeing religious persecution. We understand the pain caused by forced migration and appreciate the contributions of refugees in our communities. Today we sent a letter to President Donald J. Trump expressing our desire in helping those who are fleeing Afghanistan.

It’s #WomensEqualityDay, and while we celebrate the trailblazers, there’s no denying that we have so far to go. Utah ranked last in the nation–again–for women’s equality this week. From workplaces to health, education and political empowerment, women in Utah deserve better

If we disagree on the issues, that's fine — get up, make your case, win the votes! But do not be cowardly and try to prevent people from voting just because they're going to vote against you. YES — we must pass the For The People Act and make it easier to vote in this country.

The Delta variant is different: A CDC-funded simulation projects that without masking or testing, 75% of children could be infected within three months. washingtonpost.com/health/2021/08… The article cites a teacher who removed her mask to read aloud and infected half her class.

We've promised time and again--including at the G-7--to stop fossil fuel subsidies, but they just never cease: a gift from the taxpayers to the forces that are wrecking the earth. Thanks to Rep. Ro Khanna Rep. Ilhan Omar etc for taking this on

Folks, this is appalling. A school board in rural Adrian, Oregon, fires the superintendent of schools -- a 37-year educator -- because he follows state law and implements a mask mandate as he is required to do to protect students and the community. oregonlive.com/education/2021…

It’s worth noting that many of the same people attacking the Biden Administration for leaving women’s rights behind in Afghanistan are eager to control women’s bodies and choices in the United States.

The "woke mob" isn't who you think it is

As elected and community leaders from across the State, we are disheartened by the proposed redistricting maps released by the Legislative Redistricting Committee. Utahns voted for independent redistricting, expecting an equitable process and fair representation.

We are at a critical point for our natural resources. Air quality and water conservation should be among the highest priorities for all Utahns. #GSLSummit

The Utah legislature has passed resolutions condemning Venezuela and China so far this session. It would be a conspicuous omission to stay silent on Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

My mother is 10 kilometers away from Antonov airport, now seized by Russia. She is hiding with her friends and counting strikes – 13 in the last fifteen minutes. Ukrainians will never forgive this

Here we have international diplomacy expert Dave Alvord with his now-deleted hot take. #utpol
