Harvard has sued the government and one judge has issued an injunction. Rallies are being held at Cornell. An encampment is set up at Northwestern University. All are protests against the government withholding federal funding to several universities in the wake of anti-Israel protests, antisemitism, and DEI hiring practices, also including Brown, Columbia, Princeton, and…

The communities of southeast Colorado — and the farmers who produce Pueblo chiles, Rocky Ford cantaloupes, hay, beef and other local foods — throughout the Lower Arkansas Valley united in opposition to the proposed Karman Line development, which went to Colorado Springs voters last week in a special election. Voters soundly defeated the thirsty annexation…

Addressing Colorado’s DNA testing kit backlog has important implications for justice and the economy. Resolving this issue will not only provide justice for survivors of sexual assault but also will mean averting the negative impact on the Colorado economy that happens as a side effect.

If you woke up in a grouchy mood this morning, maybe grumbling about a work project, a neighbor, or perhaps a politician you don’t like, don’t forget to look out and up and remember where you get to live.
