Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.
He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

Thank you. That means a lot. That's our team's goal.
Next has been what many of us miss our local news being like before the top down copy paste all channels verbatim same. I follow a news cast from everywhere I've lived and 9 news was the last one that felt like journalists answering real concerns instead of copypasta.

Jackie Sedley of KGNU Community Radio questioned opponents of a plan to create a regional trail system through Rocky Flats, a former nuclear weapons plant that's now a wildlife refuge. The interview has won a first-place prize for agriculture/environment news in SPJ's 2025 Top of the Rockies Awards.

When hundreds of thousands of people coordinate across an entire nation to protest governmental policies, that’s not a page 18 story. That’s not a “see more in section B” situation. That’s front-page news. Period.
