LYONS, Colo. Even on a rainy day in the small community of Lyons, it didn't take long to find locals willing to share what makes the town worth protecting.

A Coloradan’s phone calls to her father in Iran amid unrest in the country
Colorado Public Radio
KEYWORD SCORE: 38.19. black, boulder, colorado
The last time Shideh Dashti visited her father in her native Iran was in 2019. After that, the University of Colorado Boulder engineering professor began speaking out against the Iranian government, the Islamic Republic and decided it wasn’t safe to go back. Since then, Dashti has stayed in touch with her father by phone, although it’s become increasingly difficult. During the anti-government protests that began in December and continued into January, the Iranian government cut off the internet to all but a select few. And, just as those restrictions were beginning to ease, the government reim

An Honest Conversation We Need About Data Centers
Governing
KEYWORD SCORE: 35.84. employment, enforcement, infrastructure, land use, progressive, small business
America doesn’t need a simple yes-or-no debate over data centers. It needs a better civic compact to honestly weigh their benefits and costs. Data centers are a rapidly growing and essential part of the country’s basic infrastructure. A country that wants to lead in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and digital innovation cannot treat large-scale computing capacity as optional. But communities shouldn’t confuse national importance with automatic local benefit. The right question isn’t whether data centers should be built but on what terms states and communities should welcome them. Data c

When Are Police Chases Worth It?
Governing
KEYWORD SCORE: 32.02. budget, cars, commission, enforcement, mayor, police, police reform, traffic, working group
In Brief: High-speed car chases risk killing or injuring suspects, officers and bystanders. Not chasing, meanwhile, leaves the suspect at large for that much longer, risking a reoffense. Some state and local governments adopt restrictive policies, limiting chases to situations where the suspect has committed a violent felony. Others allow pursuits for lower-level offenses like running red lights. Officers who discontinue car chases out of concern for public safety can still use tracking and surveillance technologies and traditional police investigative work to search for the suspects.

Boulder firefighter creates program to help women break into the fire service
Denver 7 News
KEYWORD SCORE: 30.92. boulder, city of boulder, colorado, enforcement, police
BOULDER, Colo. For City of Boulder firefighter Nikki Mastriona, joining the fire service meant stepping into a world where men made up the overwhelming majority of her colleagues. I think naturally we all feel that way, coming into a male dominated industry, Mastriona said. 7% of the nation's firefighters are women, and so it's extremely intimidating. The intimidation often starts early in training. Gear, tools and physical tests are typically designed with a one-size-fits-all approach that can make it harder for women to succeed. There was only so much that they could tell me, and so I had to

The serious decline in petitions before the Supreme Court

KEYWORD SCORE: 30.80. civil rights, covid-19, landmark, lawsuit, mayor, pandemic, petition, progressive
Somewhere between 7,000 and 8,000 petitions for a writ of certiorari arrive at the Supreme Court each year. Or so the court itself says. The court is not alone. SCOTUSblog’s own “Supreme Court Procedure” page has long cited this number as “7,000 to 8,000.” The Georgetown Law Library’s research guide says that “over 8,000” cert petitions are filed in a typical year. The court’s 2023 Code of Conduct states that this number is “approximately 5,000 to 6,000.” The physical exhibit inside the court building notes that between 5,000 and 7,000 such petitions are submitted, while the National Constitut

Court clears way for Alabama to use congressional map blocked by lower court as racially discriminatory
SCOTUS Blog

The Supreme Court on Monday afternoon cleared the way for Alabama to use a congressional map that a lower court had blocked on the ground that it violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits racial discrimination in voting. The justices threw out the lower-court order barring Alabama from using the map, which it had adopted in 2023, and sent the dispute back to the lower court for another look. Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented from Monday’s decision, in a four-page opinion joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson. In her view, the court’s order was “inappropria
