I love mountains, freedom, and all that is wild.

The dolphins are getting Alzheimer’s from algae blooms
caused by warming waters and toxic runoff

and you could see the bloodstains in Sudan
from space.

The cobalt is mined by children
and the music is made by robots

and the grownups are wondering
where the fireflies went.

When an ICE agent fired the tear gas canister, it hit 55-year-old nurse Vincent Hawkins in the face, shattering his glasses and concussing him.

161 years ago, U.S. soldiers killed a generation of Cheyenne and Arapahoe people in the horrific Sand Creek Massacre.

As we recognize those who were lost in this violent tragedy, we must never forget this dark moment in Colorado’s history, nor the wound these communities carry to this day.
