Yes, I think moved from AZ to Idaho. The mom is in Arizona, dad moved to a farm in Priest River, Idaho. Grandfather Dale Roley's FB page is awfully interesting as well. Sad situation

There are a lot of skateboarding pics on his dad's Instagram, among other interesting imagery. I'm sure it's a complex picture. Curious if we will ever know the specific motive

Rubio looks terrified, imo. Rapid blinking. Swallowing.

Any body language experts out there who can speak to Marco Rubio’s state of mind during this a Trump presser on Iran?

They told Minnesotans to stay home. After the murder of Speaker Hortman and her husbandβ€”and the failed attempts on Senator Hoffman and his wifeβ€”fear was the official message.

But the people came anyway. In defiance. In grief. In purpose. This was the #NoKings rally in MN. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

Amazing. From the largest U.S. cities to small towns and suburbs, the enthusiastic turn-out today did wonders for my faith in Americans, and humanity

Northwestern updates from the academic freedom front, two pieces of good news:

(1) our president signed the AACU "call for constructive engagement," which, among other things, condemns "the unprecedented government overreach and political interference now endangering American higher education"

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
