For almost fifty years, an obscure Colorado public-interest law firm has been a recruitment pool for Republican administrations and helped shape conservative agendas, including #Project2025 -- my piece for #5280 Magazine. https://t.co/2TQc1GCZtg

Remembering Colorado's ski troops and the forgotten front.

"A lot of us were the worst soldiers in the world. But I think our combat record speaks to the kind of people we were when it came time to do our jobs." https://t.co/x92jw11Slr

"In late 2021 a special ketamine review panel convened by CDPHE released a report that rejected the fuzzy diagnosis of Excited Delirium Syndrome, stating that “it lends itself to discriminatory practices.”"

What changed after ExD was "banned?"

Public figure who did not perform well in his position last year censoring a reporter from pointing out that he did not perform well and asking how things are going to be different this year

The #MatthewPerry investigation is a study in how celeb ODs get massive attention, while deaths from paramedics using #ketamine as " chemical restraint," not so much. “They saw it as their right to knock people out." https://t.co/DcneUwba0P

“They saw it as their right to knock people out, so they wouldn’t have to deal with them on an ambulance ride.” https://t.co/DcneUwaCbh

Paramedics use ketamine more than you think.

My latest article, about a $1.1 million settlement for a man stalked by a #prison gang, reminds me of this earlier story about Scott Howard, who was raped by the same gang and called a "drama queen" by officials. Times change. Prison doesn't. https://t.co/WnPGm89QN7

@ThingsDudeSez My pleasure, Duane. As a former #NewYorker office boy, I can attest that Trillin was one of the few staffers who deigned to talk to the help and pored over non-NYC papers in search of neglected stories. Great reporter and writer.
