About 15 years ago, Michael Evan lost his job as a chef in Boulder, and, no longer able to afford his mobile home’s lot rent, left it with a knapsack full of essentials never to sleep in it again. Evan, now 52, was homeless on the city’s streets for 11 years, racking up dozens of criminal charges with Boulder police for municipal violations such as camping in public and open alcohol containers. But since November 2014, when he entered the once-controversial 1175 Lee Hill permanent supportive housing project owned by Boulder Housing Partners, with resident social services offered by the Boulder Shelter for the Homeless, Evan has had a home of his own. The housing project, which supports 31 residents who are chronically homeless has given Evan and others much-needed stability to end rough periods in their lives.

    The Drain the Swamp fabulist spoke at the wholly corrupt National Rifle Association's event on Saturday in Dallas, Texas, and went on to brag about doing absolutely "nothing" about gun violence. Trump is very proud of that, just as he is proud of overturning Roe. Trump can't feel empathy, and he's sucking up to the NRA out of desperation for votes to keep him out of prison.

  • Economic Inequality In The USA: Not Just A Growing Divide— An Increasingly Dangerous One
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 05/20/2024 - 07:05 AM

    Sometimes I just feel like remembering why I blog at DWT. And in the end, it always comes down to economic inequality and how it’s one of the most pressing and divisive issues facing our country.
