Northside PSA: Pizza Alley is open! (A year after I wrote a news story saying they were re-opening, in my own self-interest I might add)

Following the political assassinations in Minnesota earlier this summer, I wrote an editorial about how fear is used to silence dissent. This is true, no matter the political leanings of those targeted. I can’t stress this enough: THIS IS NOT NORMAL and NOT OK. www.denverpost.com/2025/06/16/m...

The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

Big news today for the #Broncos and for our community. Here’s my take — what’s yours?

it’s fascinating. majorities of americans oppose the military occupation of cities. a substantial number of those are fucking furious about it, but rather than lean into this anger and attack trump’s perception of strength, these “strategists” want democrats to avoid the confrontation entirely.

"ProPublica found at least 3 of Trump’s Cabinet members call multiple homes their primary residences on mortgages. We discovered the loans while examining financial disclosure forms, county real estate records and publicly available mortgage data." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The Bell and a dozen Colorado nonprofits are filing ballot measures today to make the wealthiest pay their fair share in state income taxes to support good schools, healthcare and more. The rest of us will see our taxes go down. Check out the story in the @denverpost.com bit.ly/3JCRJSi #copolitics

COMMENTARY: If this was happening in another nation, we'd call it by name. It's authoritarianism.

"Rosalba’s voice grew quiet and quivered. She took a deep breath to compose herself mid-sentence when she asked to talk about the accident that killed six workers at Prospect Valley Dairy in Keenesburg last week." #denver

UPDATE: Flock says it is now pausing all of its federal pilot programs, including the one that gave local camera data access to CBP & Border Patrol. Flock said it made the decision last week, which follows @nexton9news.bsky.social reporting.

RIGHTS NOT RED TAPE: In the Capitol, we’re fighting for working people—and Colorado businesses are with us. Together we’re cutting red tape and creating real rights & accountability for Big Tech. Big Tech wants the opposite: red tape they can game & no accountability. #copolitics

Adams County Clerk Josh Zygielbaum (D) says Colorado Democrats should consider redistricting to eliminate Republican seats if President Trump punishes Colorado for jailing election denier Tina Peters. #copolitics

Release the Epstein files.

The one point of hope in an otherwise dreadful article: “The deal is expected to close by the second half of 2026. It still needs approval from Tegna shareholders.”

Ohio's champion and America's Senator. Let's go win this thing, @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social.

Outside Dupont north metro

An aggressive rock is attacking drivers, even an ambulance, in Aurora, Colorado.

Now is the time to square up, and defend democracy.

It’s extremely rare for a grand jury to decline to take indictment. Twice in the same case suggest prosecutors can’t read the room—this grand jury is refusing to indict their ham sandwich. That doesn’t bode well for their Subway sub.

*cracks knuckles* Working on it. More soon!

Another Colorado judge is ordering federal agents to stop making immigration arrests at courthouses

Actually horrifying that the Dems are the ones who must moderate their stances when we have things like this happening each day on the right. The GOP is running with every extreme idea they’ve ever had and Trump 2 is even worse than I imagined he’d be.

Appreciate the interview with the constitutional law professor, but what’s with the rando from Boulder?

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Look, I love me some Palisade peaches, but let’s not forget that IMMIGRANTS pick the 🍑🍑🍑 we all love. ICE’s mass deportations threaten the very workers who power the entire ag industry (🍑🥔🫜🌽🌾🍄‍🟫🐄🐖). Politics shouldn’t be about playing games while our communities are under attack! #copolitics

wow, this story from Shelly Bradbury @denverpost.com is amazing work! important read if you live in Denver.

One day after releasing this statement about Gaza, both @hickenlooper.senate.gov and @bennet.senate.gov voted against two measures tonight to block the sale of additional bombs and assault rifles to Israel, declining to join 24 and 27 Democratic colleagues, respectively, who voted yes.

We stand with @neguse.house.gov and @crow.house.gov. Members of Congress have the right to conduct unannounced oversight visits of federal immigration detention facilities. This administration needs to be held accountable.

🎶 ding, dong, the BRIDGE IS DEAD 🎶

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 *cracks knuckles*

ICE just prevented me from entering an immigration detention facility in my district—a clear violation of federal law. Members of Congress have the right to immediately access these facilities. Listen here 👇

Our ED Emily Tucker will be speaking and the event is co-hosted by @acluofcolorado.bsky.social, Together Colorado, Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition @senadorajulie.bsky.social, Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez and Sarah Parady. No rsvp needed.

No, really, it’s okay to scrap it.

Been talking to News12 Bronx since the 2008/2009 season.

Padilla: "What if I was outside a Home Depot, because I like to do some work around the house, not dressed in a suit. Would I be a target of ICE enforcement under Tom Homan? Probably. And it is just wrong."

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence

How ICE Denver responded publicly (and harshly) to a story by a local TV station might be instructive for others given its potential to happen again. Second item in this week's local media newsletter: coloradomedia.substack.com/p/rocky-moun...

Heart of the Movement: Our top award, in recognition of being powerful and consistent champions of working people and organizers for justice inside the Capitol. (5/5)

Once this POS bill is signed into law, state legislators will have to figure out how do we generate billions of dollars in *recurring* revenue to keep people from losing their health coverage and losing their SNAP benefits at a time when they’re impounding billions of federal education dollars.

Just heard Bill Kristol, former chief of staff for Dan Quayle, say he thinks ICE should be defunded and that the entire DHS should probably be disbanded, which puts him to the left of maybe the majority of elected Democrats. Truly wild times we’re living in.

May Karen Diamond’s memory be a blessing.

The federal government is ending specialized LGBTQ mental health support through the national suicide prevention hotline. Envision:You does great work supporting LGBTQ mental health in Colorado. I’ll match the next fifty donations of $5 here: secure.everyaction.com/TYDK4hmNg0uG...

but what do you really think brad lander hellgatenyc.com/brad-lander-...

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets. He'll make a great mayor

If you really believe that ICE is in any way concerned about the wellbeing of children, Governor Polis has a pedestrian bridge to sell you.

When I first heard of 19-year-old college student Caroline Diaz Goncalves's arrest by ICE minutes after a traffic stop with Mesa County Sheriff's office, I was infuriated. However, what I will forever remember was bearing witness to Caroline's grace… 1/

Still not over the fact that Brad Lander is the serving NYC Comptroller, rather a demanding position, AND a mayoral candidate, also a demanding FT job—& he found time to go to the courts to tell folks their rights & walk them past danger & the only reason we know is because ICE assaulted him.

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"
