We are not safe on Utah education campuses. State laws allow open carry guns and our politicians fan the flames of hate and division. The USA will never be a β€œfree” country until something is actually done about gun violence! I fear for where we are heading 😒

Trump administration illegally froze billions in Harvard funds, judge rules The ruling is a legal victory for Harvard but the White House says it will appeal the decision.

A federal judge in Boston said she found it "difficult to conclude anything other than that [the Trump administration] used antisemitism as a smokescreen for a targeted, ideologically-motivated assault on this country's premier universities, and did so in a way that runs afoul of [federal law]."
