The so-called migrant camps are run by the same people

UPDATE: The government has not, as of 5:03 pm, filed the required daily status report. It missed the deadline. But Garcia’s counsel has filed a motion for the government to show cause as to why it should not be held in contempt: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Agreed. We need to ban stock trading for members of Congress.

This is important and could affect transparency in policing.

Colorado’s getting in good trouble. AG Phil Weiser is fighting Trump’s attacks on LGBTQ+ rights & immigration. Mayor Mike Johnston is defending Denver’s sanctuary status, and DPS is under federal investigation for gender-neutral bathrooms. The fight is on. yellowscene.com/2025/04/01/t...

25 years. 25 stories. We’re revisiting the stories that shaped YS & the region we call home. From grassroots movements to political reckonings, from joy to justice, these are the stories you might remember too—and the ones that still matter today. #BoulderCounty yellowscene.com/2025/03/27/2...

Local Thornton CO resident, Jacob Stevens, wants to know where Gave Evans is, and why he voted to cut Medicare. #Coloradopolitics yellowscene.com/2025/04/07/w...

NEW: Kansas and Utah in recent weeks have passed laws that ban mail ballots that arrive after Election Day, but have been postmarked before polls close. And Trump issued an executive order claiming to ban them. All this, while GOP actions are threatening mail: boltsmag.org/restrictions...

I think this is a way that the Rightwing self-soothes and it's very funny because it shows how little they understand the Left(s). And it means that perhaps we're more illegible to them than some think. That presents opportunities.

Dialing this back to 3000 words was the biggest challenge. A fascinating look at media in Boulder County and Colorado over the ages. yellowscene.com/2025/03/24/t...

Trump succeeded because he understood politics isn’t about policy—it’s a culture war. For today’s GOP, “owning the libs” is the only goal. Everything else—egg prices, tariffs, DOGE—is just noise. The cruelty is the point. tinyurl.com/mwbamd3u

It's our 25th Anniversary and we are having fun! But we have always had fun with our covers. (Fun Fact, YS has never put the Flatirons on the cover. We like them too, just not for the cover.) Can you guess this year's Theme? yellowscene.com/magazine/

Colorado’s school board just quietly flipped—thanks to over $300K in dark money. Pro-charter groups are spending big to gain power, override local decisions, and block transparency. The problem? This isn’t a one-off—it’s happening across Colorado and the country. yellowscene.com/2025/03/25/d...

An Erie CO landowner just shut down an oil & gas well on his property—after the operator stopped paying royalties and abandoned the site. Now the state is stepping in to revoke Phoenix Resources’ right to operate in Colorado. yellowscene.com/2025/03/25/e...
