Our hearts are broken at the loss of three members of our community, Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr., and D’Sean Perry and our two UVA students currently receiving care from our medical center. Our #UVA family truly appreciates all the support from all over the country today. 🧡

Breaking News: The Supreme Court rejected a request from Donald Trump to intervene in the litigation over documents seized from Mar-a-Lago. The court’s order, which was a sentence long, was a stinging rebuke to Trump. nyti.ms/3Msfwld

As I’ve said before, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana.
Today, I’m taking steps to end our failed approach. Allow me to lay them out.
I had the good fortune to meet and talk at length with Kelli Evans when she was at @ACLU_NorCal. She struck me as deeply thoughtful, pragmatic, and curious. I believe she will (continue to) serve California with distinction.
Driven by an "abiding belief and commitment to fairness and equal justice under the law," Judge Kelli Evans will make history on the highest bench in California.

Chief Justice Cantil-Sakauye is absolutely one of the finest public servants I have ever worked with. I'm thrilled that she has shared her expertise through teaching #MPS students @UVA and hope she will continue...
California's top Judge Tani Cantil-Sakauye announced she will step down in January after a 12-year term. Cantil-Sakauye, who is of Filipino descent, is the 28th chief justice of California and the first person of color and second woman to hold the post reut.rs/3zcKkjz
Thanks to @PostLive for a good conversation today on Protecting #PublicSafety. One quick #FactCheck for @deray - The NYPD has about 50% more officers than the Border Patrol. Sources:

Really interesting thoughts about a new model for higher education. This kind of integration makes a lot more sense than our current silos...
What could a next-gen regional model of higher education look, feel, serve & live like? @MGorbis of @IFTF & I sketch how a billion $$ on its way from the state for regions could leverage the biggest leap forward since land grant universities. edsource.org/?page_id=673556 via @edsource

Inspired by Major Frank Carpenter, a 30-year law enforcement leader, who is one of the first 29 graduates of @UVASCPS Masters in Public Safety. Such critical work being led by our students, faculty, and staff. news.virginia.edu/content/cl…
I am so very proud of @frankcnitty! This is a fantastic story about the intersections of his #policing career, #highereducation journey, and the first @UVA @UVASCPS Master of Public Safety (#MPS) graduating class. news.virginia.edu/content/cl…

California's population declined in 2021 for the second consecutive year. Births and immigration are down. Deaths are up, as are people leaving the state. California is still the most populous state, with an estimated 39,185,605 residents. apne.ws/mMJoBNl
I really enjoyed the opportunity to talk with @ChiefBashoor about #leadership and #highereducation for the #fireservice and #publicsafety on the Side Alpha Podcast by @FireRescue1 and FireChief: sidealpha.podbean.com/e/bryo…
Excellent analysis of teenage socialization and wellness in this piece. It’s worth a read for anyone who cares about #kids.
