Trump nominee to head BLM out after it was discovered she told the truth about the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots
by • • 2 Comments
A top Trump nominee is out after getting caught telling the truth. Colorado’s Kathleen Sgamma was to head the BLM. She had decades of oil and gas advocacy and helped write Project 2025. But then a 2021 memo came out where she criticized President Trump for his election rigging lies.

W. slope Rep. Jeff Hurd votes for the SAVE Act, which would make it harder for married women & rural residents to vote
by • • 12 Comments
Chart showing how Colorado Representatives voted on HR-22, the “Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility” (“SAVE”) Act. CD-3 Rep. Jeff Hurd voted “yes” on the Act, which will make it much harder for millions of married women to vote. All Colorado Democrats opposed the measure.
On April 10, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass the “Safeguard American Voter Eligibility” (SAVE) Act by a margin of 220-208. CD-3 Rep. Jeff Hurd (R) voted for the measure, essentially a voter suppression law that would make it vastly harder for married women and rural voters to register to vote or update their voter registrations. The bill was supposedly introduced supposedly to make it harder for non-citizens to vote, but there are already laws in place that prohibit non-citizens from voting and in reality, the problem of non-citizens voting is vanishingly rare. For example, a 2024 audit of voters in Georgia found that out of 20 million registered voters, only 20 non-citizens were registered to vote, and when they were found, they were purged from the voter rolls.

Estimated 2,500 people turn out to protest Trump regime at Grand Junction Hands Off! demonstration
by • • 6 Comments
An estimated 2,500 people turned out to loudly protest convicted felon, sexual abuser and President Donald Trump and his co-president Elon Musk and their erratic governing style, economy-destroying tariffs, alienating of America’s allies, crony capitalism, ignoring people’s rights to due process, rolling back of civil and human rights, illegal dismantling of federal agencies and worse, at one of the biggest protests ever in town. The demonstration was one of about 1,400 similar protests taking place across the nation on April 5 as Americans, increasingly worried about Trump pushing the country into authoritarianism, rise in solidarity against Trump and Trumpism.

The April 5 Hands Off! demonstration is ON in Grand Junction!
by • • 31 Comments
On Saturday, April 5, 2025, from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m., Mesa County Democrats, Indivisible Grand Junction, Western Colorado Alliance, Mesa County Action Coalition, and others will host a Hands Off! protest on the lawn of the Historic Lowell School Building at 7th and Grand! The event coincides with nationwide action that day “to stand up against those who believe they can take whatever they want — our democracy, our future, our rights.”
The event will protest the drastic, illegal measures the Trump/Musk regime is taking against our federal government offices and services, the unprecedented attacks on our civil rights and seizure of millions of Americans’ personal information, like social security numbers and banking information, and the damage Trump and Musk are doing to vital sources of scientific research, as well as their attacks on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts, the rights of transgender Americans, immigrant rights and so much more.

Anti-fascism demonstration at CMU a success
by • • 7 Comments
Hundreds of people both young and older turned out at 4:00 p.m. yesterday at Colorado Mesa University Corner 12th St. and North Ave to support diversity and immigrants’ rights and protest CMU providing a platform for white supremacist Jared Taylor to speak on campus. It was a violence-free, albeit noisy demonstration with cheers, bullhorns, a vuvuzela, drums and other noisemakers. Many passing drivers honked in approval, encouraging a roar of support from the crowd and adding to the cacophony. Following are more scenes and protest signs from the demonstration:
Lies, Republicans violating laws, Sherronna Bishop
Is nationally-known election denier & “America’s Mom” Sherronna Bishop committing voter fraud by faking Colorado residence?
by • • 7 Comments
Sherronna Bishop
Former western Colorado resident and vocal right wing extremist Sherronna Bishop and her family moved to Carthage, Texas in May of 2022, several months after the FBI executed a search warrant on their house in connection with the Tina Peters election equipment breach scandal, and they’ve resided there ever since. Sherronna was an unindicted co-conspirator in Tina Peters’ criminal case and is generally credited with hatching the plot that got Tina sentenced to 9 years of incarceration. What hasn’t been made public until now is that in November, 2023, a year and a half after the Bishops relocated to Texas, Sherronna re-registered to vote not in her new home state of Texas, but here in Mesa County.
