Just One More Week... A Colorado State Open Thread, 1/13/2025 [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2025-01-13
Next week is January 20th. The end of an era. Perhaps the end of more than just one presidency. Perhaps the end of a country. Please do what you can to enjoy this last week, even in our blue state two thousand miles away from the festering pustule of power that will be Washington D.C. after 10:15 AM, Colorado Time.
Before then, however, on Saturday the 18th, there will be a People’s march in Denver at the State Capitol:
Join the Denver People’s March, formerly known as The Women’s March, as we stand in solidarity with targeted and marginalized communities – women, people of color, queer individuals, indigenous peoples, immigrants, refugees, those with disabilities, Palestinians, Ukrainians and more. Rooted in Denver, we rise as a united movement of resistance, fighting for representation, rights, and justice. Together, we gather to advocate, uplift, and share resources in the spirit of equity and collective action. Starts on Saturday, January 18, 2025 at 10:00 AM MST Ends on Saturday, January 18, 2025 at 3:00 PM MST Colorado State Capitol 200 East Colfax Avenue Denver, CO, 80203 United States action.womensmarch.com/...
Even if you can’t get to Denver, find a good street corner close to home, make a sign, and hold it up and let passersby know you are not okay with the incoming mal-administration and their plans for hurting your fellow Americans. Be one of the liberals that refuse to be hurt by the Republicans. Maybe even gain some allies from friends and neighbors who might not realize they aren’t alone in their feelings. Make some good trouble.
Other Colorado Goings-On
I’m finding several stories that I thought I had put in Open Threads, so if I’m repeating myself, I apologize. I have found them interesting though and I have gone back a few months and I can’t find them in past issues. I hope you find them interesting as well.
I need to remind you that I need writers to cover the Open Threads for February’s Mondays. I have one volunteer but he chose not to specify a date, so if you need a specific date, you can still choose it. I realize I could have used some of the following stories to put in Open Threads, but they reach back a few months and allowing them to age even more wouldn’t be right. Please volunteer — otherwise there will be some placeholder diaries unless I have access to the Internet and I cannot guarantee that I will or that I can do a proper job for you. Now, on to the topics:
More Native American Children Died in “Schools” in Colorado Than Previously Reported
From the Denver Post (Gift Link) www.denverpost.com/…
At least 76 Native American children died at Colorado boarding schools designed to strip them of their Indigenous language, culture and heritage, according to a new investigation recently published by the Washington Post. The newspaper’s yearlong reporting project — relying on government and boarding school records, newspaper obituaries, death certificates and other documents — found three times as many students died at these schools nationwide than the federal government previously had identified. In Colorado, the Washington Post found 11 more children died at the state’s five schools than History Colorado identified in 2023, though that organization’s 139-page report focused only on the two most prominent schools.
More Wolves Coming
From Colorado Politics: Wolves from Canada arrive as Colorado wildlife officials refuse to release final destination details
A plane that left Prince George, British Columbia, shortly before noon Sunday arrived at the Eagle County Airport at 3:52 p.m. Its cargo was believed to be an unknown number of wolves expected to be part of the Colorado wolf reintroduction program. The plane was believed to be the same Colorado Parks and Wildlife used in December 2023 to bring wolves from Oregon. Once it landed at the Eagle County Airport, Steamboat Radio reported that at least three CPW trucks, including cages large enough to hold wolves, went to a hangar at the Eagle County High Altitude National Guard Aviation Training Site, also on the airport grounds. Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials would neither confirm nor deny the Canadian wolves arrived in the state.
