A Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office deputy has escorted @ColoradoSun journalist Sandra Fish (@fishnette) out of the Colorado GOP Assembly.

Fish received a press pass when she arrived. GOP event staff said she was told not to come since chair says her coverage has been “very unfair”

60% of Desert Sun journalists make less than $51k a year. Multiple earn less than 40k a year. Yet @Gannett thinks its acceptable for those journalists to wait as long as four years for raises.

That's why were now ON STRIKE. Support us here: https://t.co/kdqvrW8jda

The latest forecast discussion from @NWSLosAngeles has to be up among the most ominous ever put out by any NWS office

My quote in this article: “You have to look at Gannett and the other big newspaper chains not as media companies but as financial firms. They see newspapers as declining assets, and they ask themselves how they can squeeze a few more years of profit out of those assets.”

Remarkable. The University of Iowa's student-run newspaper purchases two area weeklies. This is what higher ed -- as institutions serving communities -- can do and should do. https://t.co/uvBEHJyVh4

what say you, @ArtButSports?

[Larry Bohannan @Larry_Bohannan]

Magic in the desert. Amateur Nick Dunlap makes history with a win at @theamexgolf with a some-as-nails pars down the stretch. First amateur to win on the @PGATOUR since 1991

This bear paced the border wall for three hours in distress. Cut off from millennia-old pathways that connect mountains and streams and springs and bears to life itself. This is the now-gone wild world. The freedom to roam is severed. Life is walled.

If you're an innocent victim of a high-speed chase in Houston, don't expect the city to help you.
They'll fight you. Blame you. Call the incident an "act of God." Call deaths/injuries "pre-existing" conditions.

Ha, this picture that I took back in 2015 (!) often gets sent on the AP Wire with stories about old-growth forest. It did with today's Biden old-growth announcement.
Alas, it was taken deep in the Opal Creek Wilderness and was roasted in the 2020 fires.

Your holiday gift from me, friends, is a new look at right-wing domestic terrorism in the U.S. I examined terror incidents (attacks & plots) from 2017-2022 to look at trends in right-wing terrorism.

Report below⬇️; this thread shares some findings.

As the year comes to a close, it's time for @Gannett to get real and offer a contract to The Desert Sun's journalists that will guarantee raises more often than every six years. We are rallying in downtown Palm Springs today to ask them to do just that.

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

Why does the world still allow trophy hunting? We've done so much harm already. RT if you think there should be a worldwide ban on this barbaric practice.

Nature is amazing. Protect it.

@yfreemark @IIHS_autosafety This is a new study, but not the first. And road safety advocates have been pointing out these dangers for a while. @KostelecPlan produced an excellent photo that helps illustrate one of the reasons for the higher fatality rate:
