this has been true since at least 2011. i say this as a middling northwestern law grad: there were so many middling northwestern law grads in my class getting prestigious clerkships simply because they were white dudes in fedsoc.

Why "tough on crime" isn't about being tough on crime, but tough on people, in one simple graph. ALL sorts of other government services--the ones conservative pols denigrate while wrapping themselves in Blue Lives Matter flags--play a huge role in keeping us safe. AND healthy, educated, etc.

This woman is a handpicked Trump supporter from Arkansas and she is less anti-trans than the median Atlantic columnist

spent the weekend watching about 20+ hours of body-worn camera footage of denver police officers who were accused of excessive force. what stands out, other than the rampant excessive force that goes unchecked every day, is the utter contempt that officers have for us.

Maybe don't build a new prison? Maybe start investing in upstream solutions? Maybe reform TABOR?

huge win by the folks at gratalegal.com (including @williamsdan303.bsky.social)!

A coward through and through.

A Colorado community activist was convicted last week of doxxing a Denver police commander in a first-of-its-kind case that has fueled debate about whether the state’s online privacy laws violate the First Amendment's free speech rights

how much is axon paying hancock to push this op-ed?

Let’s go Colorado! Our campaign has the momentum to WIN!

BREAKING: 7 former Jena Griswold staffers just went public. Bullying. Retaliation. ABUSE. NDAs to cover it up. Jena wants to be Colorado's Attorney General but she is unqualified. If Democrats are serious about workers, we CANNOT allow Jena to move forward as a candidate #copolitics #coleg 🧵1/x

A northern Colorado town accused of censoring critics on social media has agreed to pay one man blocked by the local government $45,000, according to court records.

"Jared Morgan will be paid $45,000 as a result of the settlement which stemmed from him being blocked from Kersey's official Facebook page. They're also required to change their social media policy."

“People feel let down by the Democratic Party and want to see folks who aren’t promising just to do the same old, same old.”

Denver’s City Council rejected Flock surveilance, but Axon is just as bad (Opinion)

Joe Neguse, Jason Crow, & Brittany Pettersen get protested too for similar votes. But none of them have chased a voter, put hands on them, or yelled. Thirty years in office and DeGette thinks she’s untouchable. Denver has gotten nothing from her. It’s time for change. #copolitics

When I was in law school, people were painstakingly mapping out their paths to becoming AUSAs on like a 5-10-year time horizon, knowing full well that it just might not be in the cards. Now DOJ is just hiring whatever pervert 3Ls show up at CPAC.

I am so excited that @senadorajulie.bsky.social is a viable alternative to Hickenlooper who, for the millionth time, literally did not even want to be a senator and ran solely bc he did not have a viable presidential campaign

Only took her seven years working at the private prison company to realize it was bad, that’s a judgment which proves one is fit for lawmaking!

tina peters shouldn't be in a cage, but neither should every single other person who is currently caged in colorado.

always love a good (thirty) minute order from judge jackson. unless you're on the receiving end of it.

there is nothing more radicalizing than sitting through a day of municipal court. everything about it is dehumanizing. the only thing that happens here is the opposite of justice.

vote @seligmanforag.bsky.social

They get the axxon api setup to direct feed this shit into their facial rec system so they don't have to carry phones and can free up their hands for more canisters and triggers

All bodycams are going to do is facilitate a surge in prosecutions for “assaulting agents” and improve data collection about protesters so good work everyone who pushed for that big reform.

body cameras are particularly bad in general because they are useless and when you're spending money on them you're giving money to LE and taking money from everyone else. 1

Stoked to have @andymcnulty.bsky.social and Azra Taslimi with Rathod Mohamedbhai join us on 2/10 to talk about suing the police!

if you know who someone who was arrested, have them reach out to me (newman-mcnulty.com). i've represented folks facing similar charges for projecting in protest of trump in boulder and got their case dismissed.

One of Michael Bennet's largest corporate donors is DaVita. His other donors include Big Pharma, private healthcare billionaires and venture capital The public option he's proposed is simply a government backed monopoly for his chosen donors to be oligarchs via our taxpayer $ NOT GOOD POLICY

you shouldn't believe this.

to be clear this is literally actually worse than nothing. doing nothing would’ve been better than this. turns out the politicians and parties who support genocide abroad? also wholeheartedly support terrorizing us domestically. I for one appreciate their philosophical consistency.

well, yes, that makes sense given that local police departments are no different than the ice thugs in minneapolis. they are the same, down to their penchant for white supremacy and violating the constitution. the literal spider man meme playing out in real life.

this man deserves a statue and national holiday immediately after we nuremberg these maga fucks.

Fucking pathetic

you won't see cop-lover hickenlooper calling for the abolition of ice. in fact, he'll vote to give them more funding than they have ever had. we need someone like julie in office.

When law-and-order types point out that only a small percentage of people killed by police each year were unarmed, keep in mind that Renee Good will be classified as "armed."

Prosecute ICE.

Folks are unable to go to a doctor and are staring down mountains of medical debt because our elected officials cater to insurance corporations. #MedicareForAll!
