I've posted the Senate President's letter to Kevin O'Leary and other details of what he wants. BTW, Sen. Adams is the head of MIDA (which green-lit the whole project in the first place): www.fox13now.com/news/politic... #utpol #Utah

A Wednesday email to Salt Lake City library workers created what one staffer called "an element of shock" among employees.

They are trying to silence and intimidate in service of building data centers. Make your voice heard!

Now @natecohn.bsky.social from the @nytimes.com doubles down on that execrable poll question: should the party move left, center or stay the same? You move left or right-the "center" has no absolute meaning; its location is entirely relative. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/u...

Trump is putting no effort into becoming less unpopular but a TON into putting elements of a coup in place. Some of them may remain invisible, but the ones we can see point to his general approach: violent intimidation + corrupt judges + executive branch and congressional coconspirators + bribes.

You need to read this. Yes, you.

@slindivisible.bsky.social Investigative reporting shows how corporate real estate investors with DJT ties where able to unload warehouses that they couldn't sell at massive profit margins to DHS as ICE detention centers, including the ICE SLC site at a $50M markup. youtube.com/shorts/Ox7ea...

Utah wants to charge me $500 to do my job. I filed an open records request with a state agency, and they came back asking for $500 minimum in staff time fees. That's a paywall on public records, which puts a chilling effect on independent journalism #utpol www.youtube.com/shorts/SC7ut...

Companies with business in front of Utah's Military Installation Development Authority — led by Senate President J. Stuart Adams — have given huge sums to campaign accounts Adams controls.

@slindivisible.bsky.social 5-17-2026. How big is the 40,000 acre (62.3 sq mi) proposed Stratos Data Center? It is hard to visualize. In this map, a polygon of 40,000 acres is projected over a map of Salt Lake City. www.google.com/maps/d/edit?... Stratos Project Map by MIDA www.midaut.org/stratos
