On June 24, after nearly 50 years, the Supreme Court ended the constitutional right to an abortion through an overruling of Roe v. Wade. Colorado, along with 17 other states, still protects access to the medical procedure. It is expected that in a matter of months, the ruling will lead to an all but total ban on abortion in half of the states. “The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion. “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”

Even the greats like This American Life and Radiolab share their platform with migrants to project voices often hushed in the din of public discourse.

On the first Saturday in May, EmyLou Rodriguez stood in the Forest Park Bandshell and recounted the lives of her parents whose portraits sat displayed on park benches. The images of Antonio and Estelita along with 268 others at the center of Queens COVID Remembrance Day will soon be used in a memorial to the victims. Almost a year after the pandemic began, many New Yorkers are still yearning for a place to lay their grief.

Upon entering the Frida Khalo, Diego Rivera, and Mexican Modernism exhibit at the Denver Art Museum, you realize that this is not a shrine to Kahlo and her pop-culture status. Rather, you’re invited to explore the story of a people evaluating their collective identity between tradition and imperialism, art and war. With 29.9% of Denverites, roughly 217,436 individuals, identifying as Hispanic and a need for racial reckoning extending beyond 2020, the exhibition offers a link between...

The COVID-19 variant that has been raising alarms in the U.K. was confirmed in one Colorado National Guard member and is suspected in another.
