Dear Grand Junction City Council Members, I do not envy your position at this moment in history, the short-sighted and ultimately cruel policies of the Trump regime are starting to manifest into real world consequences for Grand Junction and the Grand Valley. The federal grants that Homeward Bound depends on have been drastically scaled back, … Continue reading “Save HomeWard Bound” An Open Letter to the Grand Junction City Council
The Put Out
by Cheese Burger Part One: Hubris. Wind gusts at 70 mph in my hair as a mirror flies by my face. That chicken fucker just tried to kill me. Chicken fuckers are happy to drive a hippie over in Delta if they’re pissed off about their shit job in the morning, whereas at night, they … Continue reading The Put Out
Montrose Methodist Take Stand for the Unhoused
Montrose has long struggled with how to address the issues raised by an increasing population of unhoused people. However, in November of 2024, the city passed a camping ban, which made it a crime to camp without permission within the city limits. The local Methodist church opened its vacant area to the affected population to camp. Not long after, the City began issuing tickets to the pastor, Kevin Young. To date he has received more than 20 tickets for being in violation of the city statute prohibiting camping. The pastor argues that it is his Christian duty to house the houseless, and to offer them succor. This position invokes recent cases by the U.S. Supreme Court addressing the conflict between local law and religious belief in action (often called preferences to sanitize the language).

Dread-ja Vu: On Closures, Cops and the Coming Winter
It took me a week to think of a name for it. Dread-ja vu. The meeting place of deja vu and dread, it’s the feeling that’s brought on by watching the same terrible thing happen over and over again, and over and over until a sick suspicion rises within you that this is always how the story ends.
The Tyrant Judge of Grand Junction
To translate this all into everyday English, Judge Tammy Eret has (allegedly) deprived United States citizens of their constitutional right to legal representation, strong-armed defendants into pleading guilty to crimes that they did not commit, and then locked them up in the county jail on the taxpayers dime for sentences longer than allowed by law; the majority of these defendants, as mentioned earlier, did not receive the legally required representation in court.
Tent Ban Goes into Effect; Laws of Physics Remain in Place
A week-ago today the Grand Junction City Council voted 6-1 to ban enclosed tents in city parks. This was a reversal of a February decision by council to not enact a ban on tents, the reason being given at the time was that there was nowhere for people to reasonably go. There is still no … Continue reading Tent Ban Goes into Effect; Laws of Physics Remain in Place
