As Lake Bowel hits historic lows, if you haven't read this book by Zak Podmore, you might oughta. VERY enlightening. Another great book from Utah's amazing Torrey House Press. @zakpodmore.bsky.social www.torreyhouse.org/about Good info - the Glen Canyon Institute glencanyon.org
Great show last night from Jesse Welles. Played 2 hours and I got to hear the "War Pigs" cover. Nice combo of solo acoustic and with his band. The show kept going and he said "I haven't played in Utah before, so I figured we owe you some songs." No one in the crowd minded. Go see this guy.
A warning from 74 years ago. Every senior on Medicare and/or Social Security should wake up. They’re being accused of being unpatriotic “Socialists.” Veterans of WW II who saved the world being disparaged by “Captain Bone Spurs,”the draft dodger”

Large crowd of Utah activists tell Gov. Cox what they think of his support for the reduction of the America's cherished national monuments. Sign by volunteers from Utah Overpass Action. Thanks to all for coming out on a hot day and showing our love for public lands.

Played an open-mic in southern Utah a few months ago. Here's a "Song For The People of Bears Ears." www.youtube.com/watch?v=em_V... Some folks down there near the monument liked the Grand Staircase song that's been revised a few times since the 90's when I wrote it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6wz...

Time to rise up and stop this before the September 11th effective date. Could be the second-worst American disaster on September 11th. www.sltrib.com/opinion/comm...
Voices: Politicians are playing games with Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears. We deserve better than whiplash.
“I am tired of politicians playing games with our land,” Caroline Gleich writes in an op-ed. “Shrink it, restore it, shrink it again ... That is no way to protect anything, and the people who live dow...

ICE OUT rally in front of the proposed detention center in Salt Lake this morning. Good crowd given the distant location and the heat. This is taken from the side of the street with the shade where people stood. This great activist made this great dress.
🔥 Ukrainian Fire Point drones just torched the Omsk oil refinery — Russia’s last undamaged one. That’s 1,600 miles deep into Russia. Putin’s “invincible” empire is getting absolutely cooked from farther away than most Russians have ever traveled. #SlavaUkraïni 🇺🇦

Racists shouting hate speech through the streets get a police escort. A patriot protesting fascism gets arrested. 400 cowards calling themselves patriots while hiding their identity. 1 patriot calling out fascism in full military uniform.
What a picture from cheney orr of @reuters.com — a Black woman on a train surrounded by masked white supremacists, emboldened in Trump’s America. One for the history books.
