Finding Hope in the Grand Valley’s History of Resistance
Yet, there are still lessons to be learned about how we can resist in the coming years. There is inspiration to be found in the bravery of those who have fought before us, there is a pattern of direct action and civil disobedience to studied, there are precedents of welcoming Japanese-Americans into our community to strive for, and there is a narrative of perseverance, as even anti-socialist suppression and the rise of the KKK could not keep the socialists or their ideas from moving forward. What will some future historian write about our resistance to MAGA fascism? Will we leave them something to write about? Will some future radical find inspiration in our derring-do, find courage in the stands we make today, or find resolve in our actions in the face of hopelessness? We hope so.
May News Briefs
Trump has deported 238 migrants, many with legal status, without due process to El Salvador’s super Max CECOT prison where people “never leave.” Even the pro-Trump supreme court has ordered the government to stop the deportations and to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father, a sheet metal apprentice and a member of a union. The MAGA regime is now openly talking about sending Americans to this “concentration camp.” Google Earth satellite images seemed to show a pile of bodies and bloodstains on the ground at CECOT, (13° 32’ 1” N, 88° 48’ 18” W). After the disturbing images made their way around social media, both Google Earth and Apple Maps changed their imagery of CECOT in what appears to many to be an attempt at censorship. We should be asking how they keep putting people into a prison that they say, “one ever leaves?”

When we march this May Day, we march for the victims of this regime, we will not forget, we will say their names and we march for their freedom.
Radical History of May Day
In the end, they succeeded, and now instead of International Workers Day, or May Day, Americans celebrate Labor Day. Instead of parades with banners and red flags, we have cookouts and barbecues. The rich and powerful killed five of the Haymarket Eight, and then for good measure they buried their memory. It’s up to us to rediscover the radicals of the past who gave up their lives to try and create a better world. It’s up to us to carry the torch of Liberty, Equality and Solidarity forward into a brighter and better future.
The Invisible Patient: A Q & A with Jhova Films
To me, film/cinema is the highest form of art that humanity has ever devised. It’s the perfect intersection of art and science. The elegance of stage performance, the meticulousness of musical composition, and the innovation of creative technology. It’s just as much an artform as it is a working class craft. It requires distinct expertise in so many different fields, and ultimately the pursuit of filmmaking has led to numerous instances of technological pioneering. The very nature of the craft creates infinite possibilities to tell stories. To have the honor and privilege of pursuing that craft and seeking to make your mark on that sprawling tapestry—there’s something extraordinarily special about that to me.
The Isolation of Suburbia and Car Dependency
Both the physical geography and transportation of the suburbs literally separates us from our neighbors. The large houses and fences create boundaries between family units, and cars insulate us from anyone outside the moment we leave. This recreates a very individualistic culture. More public forms of travel like transit, biking, or even walking are often not even considered options, so drivers are often flagrantly unconcerned with their surroundings. This disregard for safety leads to dangerous driving and speeding. More broadly, these divisions normalize a neglect for your fellow humans and the environment.
April News Briefs
It was sad news to many when GJPD arrested the alleged CMU graffiti bandits. Many felt seen. Like someone was willing to do something to oppose the rising tide of hate on CMU’s campus when no one else would. The Grand Junction Police Department initially reported that the graffiti was both anti-government and racist. GJPD later made a correction to the initial statement after members of the community asked how anti-nazi graffiti was considered racist.
