Just saw this and thought it would be of interest. Colorado -- National Civics Bee -- bsky.app/profile/kyle...
Congratulations to Peter Daniell from Stargate Charter School in Thornton - winner of the National Civics Bee. Met this incredibly impressive young man when he won the Colorado Civics Bee. He'd like to be a Supreme Court justice someday.

Adults can help the kids in their lives build Civic understanding in simple ways! In my community, local, state, and federal election campaign signs intermingle - and that can be very confusing for kids. This short might help you explain the difference. youtube.com/shorts/u-egl...

NEW: Denver Water has issued 2X more fines in October than it did all summer. @marcsallinger.bsky.social looked at why Denver Water is just now getting tough about conservation after the summer watering season.

The sad things about a political party blaming their 20-yr slide into irrelevance on one local journalist are: 1) it's silly 2) it tells their voters they can't make change through good candidates/ideas 3) if that journalist is fired and their fortunes don't improve, the lie is revealed
I wrote this haiku in 2022 and it seems predictive this year too! With elections lost Colorado's GOP will scapegoat Kyle Clark. tag @kylec.bsky.social

The Catholic news site The Pillar reports that Denver Archbishop Golka's White House visit was arranged by an official at the conservative Heritage Foundation. 9NEWS has reached out to the Denver Archdiocese for comment. www.pillarcatholic.com/p/trump-meet...
NEW: Denver Archbishop James Golka leads a prayer for President Trump, alongside Trump’s faith advisor Paula White, who called the Black Lives Matter movement the anti-Christ and suggested Christians will have to answer to God if they don’t vote for Trump

Living in Denver has its perks, one of them is how much this news staff enjoys their job and is allowed the freedom to be a little creative when telling us the news. Don’t worry, no bears were hurt in this story. Watch if you enjoy looking at pictures of bears.
The victim in Colorado's 12th bear attack of the year took a stand for humanity and opened a can of whoop-ass on the bear.

It was disappointing that @60minutes.bsky.social, with all its resources and expertise, broke zero new ground on the Tina Peters story. The report was just a repetition of what local journalists reported long ago.

On blaming journalists for reporting what happened: “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? ... First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." Matthew 7:3–5

I still feel like all the street parties when Biden was declared the winner were just memory wiped. But we could have that again.

A Haaretz survey shows that Israeli broadcast media are completely dominated by Netanyahu and Likud, platforming him 3 times more often than Eisenkot, who leads in the polls. Channel 14 is the Rupert Murdoch News feed, offering all Bibi, all the time. Netanyahu rules the airwaves in Israel.

Moving. May we live up to the trust they placed in US.
Thanks to everyone who has watched as I’ve shared all of the “250 to 250” videos for which I wrote scripts. This is the last one, & how fitting to have it read by @hcrichardson.bsky.social herself since the “250 to 250” project was her idea. Tonight: the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
