December 1, 2025 By John Young

I know your first question:
“Will the speech police be masked?” Why, of course.

Young column: Great Divider sets it on ‘boil’

December 1, 2025 By John Young

Now we know about the shooter. He was a white supremacist, captivated and motivated by the right-wing “manosphere,” and of course a nation’s gun fanaticism.

Young column: Anniversary of a stupid, evil lie

September 8, 2025 By John Young

It’ll be one year this week. One year ago. Sept. 10, 2024. I know you haven’t been reminded about the anniversary, and that’s not right. I’m here to remind you. If ours were an enlightened society, an exceptional society as anti-woke patriots claim, we’d remark on the anniversary with ceremonies, with discussion panels, with classroom lessons. I’ve not heard of any.

Young column: Meritocracy of dunces — and vacancies

September 8, 2025 By John Young

The reader’s email had a preaching tone. The writer spoke as if I hadn’t heard the Good News, and as if the Almighty had chosen her to proclaim it. In rubbing out diversity and equity programs, she wrote, our president had taken a historic turn.

Young column: Heroic resistance amid ICE offensive

September 8, 2025 By John Young

Noe Fermin Guerrero-Mendieta was arrested for being brown.
ICE storm troopers broke through his car window and arrested him for being a dangerous criminal. No, the Mexican national is here legally and was headed to his construction job.

Young column: Unchecked: a president on the take

September 8, 2025 By John Young

Not one in 100 Americans can tell you what “Abscam” stands for. Make that one in a thousand. It meant a lot in 1978 – an FBI sting behind the biggest bribery scandal in congressional history: six U.S. representatives and one senator taking $50,000 payoffs from an agent impersonating an Arab oilman.

Young column: GOP can't run from accountability

With a head of white curls and a face of demurred concern, Rosina Paolini asked for quiet. She wanted to ask, and she wanted to hear – her representative in Congress, Rep. Mike Flood, as he dodged truth like his party’s leader does in every utterance.

Young column: They would make mountains disappear

August 24, 2025 By John Young

Not that I live in a chalet. But depending on the angle through the trees, towering Longs Peak is in my backyard.
Actually, it’s nearly an hour away, tucked into the back seat of Colorado’s Front Range. But 14,259 feet at its summit, across great distances only atmospheric disruptions can shroud Longs’ craggy eminence.

Young column: ICE shock troops and appalled voters

August 24, 2025 By John Young

Start with a mounted menace: Masked and armed ICE agents advancing on horseback across a soccer field on Los Angeles’ MacArthur Park. It’s quite a show – scary as hell. Ah, but no one to chase down and manhandle, just frightened summer campers.

Young column: MAGA he-men with pedophile pals

August 24, 2025 By John Young

For a sect whose world is furnished with wild claims and rabbit-hole plunges, MAGA people aren’t very good at conspiracies.
