Former legislator and longtime Denver public servant Dorothy Gotlieb has compiled this updated list of Colorado quirks and cultural touchstones. You might laugh, nod in agreement, or want to add your own.
Over the years, there have been several versions of a “You Know You’re from Colorado When…” list. The following is just one of the latest.

On May 19, 2025, retired ICE official John Fabbricatore stepped into a new role as Senior Advisor at the Office of Refugee Resettlement, just as the agency faces intense scrutiny for failing to track unaccompanied migrant children after release.
Fabbricatore’s #FindTheKids hashtag signals a push to close those gaps, but the road ahead is steep.
Fabbricatore announced his appointment on X, stating, “Time to end retirement. I was sworn in at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on May 19, 2025, as a Senior Advisor for the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) at the Immediate Office of the Secretary in the Senior Executive Service.”
Would you need a perfect GPA to speak your mind or worship freely? Mesa County officials say Colorado’s new gun law is treating the Second Amendment that way – and they’ve asked the U.S. Department of Justice to intervene.
In a three-page letter sent this month, the Mesa County Board of Commissioners urged federal authorities to investigate Senate Bill 25-003, calling it a “grotesque misuse of government power” that effectively imposes a discriminatory test on anyone wishing to lawfully own or carry a firearm.
The law, which takes effect in August 2026, requires residents to complete state-approved firearms training, score 90% on a written exam and obtain conditional approval from their sheriff’s office every five years in order to receive or renew a permit.

Across Colorado, churches gather each week to worship, pray, and walk in faith. From the Western Slope to the Eastern Plains, these communities share a simple but powerful calling—to love one another well. Today, that love has a chance to meet a real and urgent need.
And today, that love has an urgent opportunity to shine.
One of our own—John Waters, Worship Pastor at Elevating Life Church in Fort Morgan and a cherished beloved DJ on KFTM/Bob FM—is in critical need of a living liver transplant. John isn’t just a leader—he’s been a steady voice of hope. Whether preaching on Sundays or spinning tracks on the radio, he’s lifted hearts across Colorado and Nebraska.

A nationally recognized computer scientist will present what he says is direct evidence of vote data manipulation in Arapahoe County’s 2020 election – and altered ballot records in a newly released 2025 file – at a May 27 press conference at the Colorado State Capitol.
Dr. Walter Daugherity, a Harvard-trained expert in computer science and election auditing, is set to speak at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday on the west steps of the Capitol. According to a press release circulated Wednesday, Daugherity will walk the public through four exhibits that show what he describes as “a manipulated cast vote record” and evidence that votes were changed at the ballot level.

In a jailhouse visit marked by resilience, revelation and restrained emotion, former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters offered a window into the chapter of her life that has largely unfolded behind bars.
For two-and-a-half hours on May 18, we sat across from each other in a controlled visitation room. No pens or paper were allowed, so what follows is drawn from a memory still sharp with immediacy, and a recorded voice memo I made in my truck just moments after we said goodbye.
Peters wore standard prison-issued clothing and a DOC patch with her name and inmate number sewn on. I bought her a cappuccino from the vending machine and a Butterfinger, which I had to unwrap and place on a paper plate before handing it to her across the table. She smiled and said it was a rare treat – something she doesn’t get to experience very often.

A series of violent incidents in Denver between December 2024 and May 2025 has intensified scrutiny of Colorado’s criminal justice reforms, with critics contending that lenient policies on bail and sentencing have compromised public safety.
Six recent cases, documented through court records, booking reports and social media posts from the advocacy account @dobetterdnvr, reveal a troubling trend: offenders with extensive criminal histories, released on low or no-cost bonds or parole, allegedly committed murders, assaults and attempted murders – leaving multiple victims.

When your bylaws mention gender 47 times and Robert’s Rules is 1,135 pages long, what could possibly go wrong?
David Hogg says the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is trying to “fast-track” his removal as vice chair. The party insists it’s just following procedure. But veteran parliamentarian Gregory Carlson says what happened may violate one of the most basic principles of Robert’s Rules of Order – you can’t go back and undo a vote after the meeting is over.
“Usually, you can’t overturn something that’s already happened on procedural grounds,” Carlson said. “You have to challenge it at the time that it’s happening.”

The governor’s enforcers tried to make an example of C&C. Instead, they created a rallying cry.
In just seven days, Colorado witnessed threats, shutdowns, viral videos and a surge of defiance that no press conference could contain. Counties revolted, small towns reopened and sheriffs made it clear: the edicts had lost their teeth.
These are the COvid Chronicles for May 8-15, 2020…
We live in a world where countless roads claim to lead to success—express lanes to happiness, toll-free routes to purpose, and flashy detours promising fulfillment in the Eternal Now. And many folks, good-hearted and well-meaning, are sprinting full speed ahead.
But here’s the kicker: what if the road you’re on is the wrong one?
