‘Goyim Defense League’ Drops More Anti-Semitic Flyers in Parker
Over the weekend, the Goyim Defense League was at it again, distributing anti-Semitic flyers to residences in Parker with their usual schtick — “outing” Jews connected to the Biden administration and blaming them for everything related to COVID-19. This incident was again one of many across the country. NPR reports that similar flyers from the GDL also appeared in driveways in Colleyville, TX, where in January a man entered a synagogue and held a rabbi and his congregants hostage. This time, at least in Colorado, however, it’s possible that the individual culprits have been identified.
How Will The Great Renewable Land Rush Impact Eastern Colorado?
In this, the third piece in my series on The Great Renewable Land Rush in Yuma County, Colorado (read the first two here and here) I’ll provide some background on the logistical machinations behind what could prove to be the most significant revolution in land use since the homestead act invited thousands of settlers to break sod in a semi-arid region that had never before seen a plow.

Colleges Withhold Transcripts and Diplomas as a Form of Debt Collection, Colorado Should Stop Them
Higher education has been positioned as key to generating respect, success, and wealth — especially for young Black people. My whole life I was encouraged to pursue higher education for these reasons, but with minimal help of how to understand all the financial aspects of college I learned the cost of higher education is more than just paying tuition. The first time I struggled to navigate university fees was when my unpaid parking tickets stopped me from registering for classes. I owed $350 and it took me a month and a half of putting all my extra money towards this bill to register for classes. And while I was fortunate enough to pay it, some of my friends in similar situations were not and were forced to pause school and start working full time to pay their student bills in hopes of coming back.

State Lawmakers, Polis Should Rein in Colorado Oil and Gas Commission
On February 1, 2022 the federal government announced the first infusion of tens of millions of dollars that will be sent to Colorado to clean up orphaned oil and gas wells. Our U.S. Senators John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennett (D-CO) celebrated the incoming funds. Not only is it a chance to clean up dangerous wells, but the act of plugging wells will provide jobs and reduce our climate-changing methane emissions. (It’s interesting that they only call natural gas by its true name — methane — when no one is making money from the gas well anymore.)
