ARVADA — Scott Snyder balances a wireless speaker on his backyard fence, and with his tablet plays the soundtrack of a rushing highway he plucked off the internet. The ruckus emanating from the black box is an unpleasant harbinger of what Snyder fears is coming within 100 feet or so of his house — the long-contentious Jefferson Parkway, set to cut through the middle of his Leyden Rock neighborhood in northwest Arvada.

Snyder’s neighbor, Michael Raabe, is more blunt about the proposed roadway, which could break ground next year and open for business in 2022. “This is really going to destroy this community,” he said. The Jefferson Parkway, four lanes wide and 10 miles long, will run between Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Broomfield and State Highway 93 north of Golden, skirting the eastern edge of Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge.

  • Russian State Media is Posting More on TikTok Ahead of the U.S. Presidential Election, Study Says
    Time, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 06:32 PM

    Russian state-affiliated accounts have boosted their use of TikTok and are getting more engagement on the short-form video platform ahead of the U. S. presidential election, according to a study published Thursday by the nonprofit Brookings Institution. The report states that Russia is increasingly leveraging TikTok to disseminate Kremlin messages in both English and Spanish, with state-linked accounts posting far more frequently on the platform than they did two years ago. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Such accounts are also active on other social media platforms and have a larger presence on Telegram and X than on TikTok.

  • Pillow Salesman Says All Biden Democrats He Knows Are Voting For Trump
    Crooks and Liars, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 04:40 PM

    Mike Lindell was a great American success story, coming from nothing to owning a successful business. From being a crack addict to earning millions from his flourishing business. And then he threw it all away for Donald J. Trump, a raging narcissist, possibly a sociopath, who is hungry for power. The pillow salesman is looking rough these days.

  • Cowboy Eric Hovde Keeps Shooting Himself In The Foot
    Crooks and Liars, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 04:39 PM

    Even before he formally announced his campaign to be the Republican candidate to run against Senator Tammy Baldwin, Eric Hovde has been getting hammered on the fact that he is living large in Laguna Beach, California, so that he could do hands on management of his banks out west. In a lame effort to counter this, Eric Hovde made what just might be the most cringeworthy video of this campaign season by going out in an icy lake, because he apparently thinks that is what Wisconsinites do, and then challenging Baldwin to join him in the water: Considering the fact that the only time you will find a Wisconsinite in a frozen lake is during a New Years Day Polar Bear Plunge or if their ice fishing shanty fell through the ice, he didn't convince a lot of people.

  • UN Summit Looks To Form International Tax On The Rich
    Crooks and Liars, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 04:39 PM

    Tax justice advocates this week are expressing hope that delegates at a United Nations summit aimed at drafting an international tax convention will take the "once-in-a-century opportunity," as one campaigner and researcher said, to place the common good at the center of the global tax system instead of individual and corporate greed. Representatives of U.
