Fascinating new books cover Colorado bluebirds, Western towns, mining-era massacres

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:48:53 GMT

“Remembering Ludlow But Forgetting the Columbine,” by Leigh Campbell-Hale (University Press of Colorado)Remembering Ludlow but Forgetting the Columbine (University Press of Colorado)Most Coloradans know about the Ludlow Massacre but know nothing about the massacre at the Columbine Mine near Serene, which had far more influence on America’s labor politics. Six miners died, and another 60 were wounded at the Columbine.The strike polished the image of Josephine Roche, later part of Franklin Roosevelt’s cabinet. Roche was a Progressive who inherited control of Rocky Mountain Fuel Co., which owned the mine, and was credited with humanitarian actions during the strike. Author Leigh Campbell-Hale disputes that, claiming tight control over her image led to hagiographic portrayals of Roche by feminist historians. “She gave lip-service to democracy, industrial and otherwise, but her actions often contradicted her own press releases,” writes Campbell-Hale.“Remembering Ludlow But Fo...

Woah! It’s Deante’ Hitchcock: Grammy nominated rapper Deante’ Hitchcock has released new single “Woah!” That will be followed by his album Once Upon a Time on May 10.The album details the journey the Atlanta artist has been on recently, culminating in the birth of his son Otto Saint Hitchcock.“At what was shaping up to be a turning point in my life, the world as we know it seemed to stop turning altogether. I watched our world change, and in the midst of it all, I had a son, became a father, and watched my world change as well,” said Hitchcock in a statement. “The word ‘son’ feels hella ironic to read, like the sun up in the sky that I used to stare at until it became an almost blinding blue bouncing ball of light, my son came into the world and brought a brightness into my life that could rival that of its homophone. His mother and I are forever in awe, and forever thankful for our angel, our Saint. The story of how we got here is no fairytale, but I’l...

Weed is quickly becoming the new cocktail or glass of wine; something to be enjoyed with friends or to relax with after a long day at work.

BART passes the mic to Bay Area kids during Autism Awareness Month

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:48:53 GMT

On Sunday night, Goyo Alvarez stood on a BART platform with his mom, Julie. They were inches away from the rushing trains — but the Alvarezes weren’t there to board one. Instead, they were listening for Goyo’s voice, which has been echoing across the Millbrae station every half hour of every day for Autism Awareness Month this April.“Hey everybody, my name is Goyo and I love trains and BART,” said the recording, which was made by the 12-year-old Redwood City boy last month. “Please stand safely behind the yellow platform edge tiles as the train arrives. It scares the train operator if you are too close, and it is not safe.”https://www.mercurynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Goyo_A.4.wavGoyo and his mom beamed at one another from the platform floor. It was their first time hearing his message — one of 100 recorded by kids on the autism spectrum across the country. Throughout the month of April, these kids’ voices have been heard by public transit riders in the Bay Area, New York C...

49ers offseason: Can NFL’s top defense be even better in 2023 under new coordinator Wilks?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:48:53 GMT

SANTA CLARA — The general feeling among 49ers players was that they were going to take a hit in terms of defensive depth but having the nucleus back from the top-ranked unit in the 2022 regular season would make for another formidable season.Linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair left for Tennessee, poached by Titans general manager and former 49ers personnel man Ran Carthon.Defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans became head coach of the Houston Texans and safety Jimmie Ward and defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway went with him in free agency. Defensive linemen Charles Omenihu (Chiefs) and Jordan Willis (Raiders) found new homes.Cornerback Emmanuel Moseley signed with the Lions and will rehab there after a torn ACL ended his season after five games.What the 49ers and most everyone else didn’t know is general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan had a major strike in mind and struck quickly by signing Philadelphia defensive tackle Javon Hargrave.Middle linebacker Fred Warner wasn̵...

Editorial: California’s Brown Act open-meeting law under assault

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:48:53 GMT

Residents in local communities across California could soon walk into the meeting room of their city council, school board, planning commission or county supervisors only to find no one at the dais and the policymakers on a monitor on the wall.The elected or appointed representatives might be participating from home or out of state. Lobbyists could be at their sides telling them what to say or how to vote, and the public would never know. Residents won’t be able to discern if their officials are paying attention or talking to others on the phone if their cameras are turned off.That’s the world of local government that would be made possible if Assemblymember Diane Papan, D-San Mateo, gets her way. Her pending legislation, Assembly Bill 1379, would undermine 70 years of progress that today enables Californians to watch — in person — their local officials’ policymaking process.The bill would gut some of the key provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act, the California ope...

Analysis: Fox News’ sudden firing of Tucker Carlson may have come down to one simple calculation

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:48:53 GMT

Analysis by Oliver Darcy | CNNWhy? That is the question I have been asked — and expect to continue to be asked — more than any other after the seismic news that Fox News had fired its highest-rated host, Tucker Carlson. The news, which rocked both the media and political worlds, begs for an answer to that fundamental question.But answering it is anything but easy. In the hours following Carlson’s abrupt dismissal from the right-wing channel, a number of explanations have emerged — all with plausibility. It goes without saying that it was no coincidence that the dismissal came just days after Fox’s historic settlement with Dominion Voting Systems. But what specifically about that case prompted Carlson’s undoing remains murky.Perhaps it was related to ex-producer Abby Grossberg’s lawsuit against the network, which alleged rampant sexism and anti-Semitic behavior behind the scenes at Carlson’s show? Or perhaps it was profanity-laced remarks, some of which ...
