Donald Trump meets Vladimir Putin in Alaska today—their first face-to-face since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began. Reports say a ceasefire may be discussed, but Ukraine might not be at the table.
Peace talks that exclude the nation under attack aren’t peace—they’re surrender.
Ukraine’s future must be decided by Ukrainians. No secret deals. No terms from aggressors.
We stand with Ukraine.

Why School Board Elections Matter—Especially in CO-4
School boards decide what your kids learn, which books stay, and whether all students feel safe.
In CO-4, Kristi Burton Brown now sits on the State Board, pushing politics into classrooms—limiting curriculum, expanding charters, and erasing inclusion.
In 2025, thousands of seats are up.
📌 Start now:
• Know who represents you
• Watch for candidate filings
• Talk to neighbors
• Support candidates who show up for all kids
Vote local.

Happy Birthday, Colorado!
After 149 years, you’re still wild, still beautiful, still not handing power to extremists—and still here for all Coloradans.

So, that South Park. Our South Park.
If you saw it, you know the one everyone is talking about lately.
But absurdity aside. Let’s talk about what it’s really about: fear, censorship, and power. It’s a warning about the cost of silence, media fear, and the power we let hide in the shadows.
Satire is doing the job our institutions won’t.
If South Park can still make America uncomfortable in all the right ways—maybe that’s a sign we shouldn’t get too comfortable either.

Trump’s recent EO tells states to lock up people who are homeless, addicted, or mentally ill.
Instead of housing or care, it’s handcuffs and institutions.
It targets Colorado’s most vulnerable — veterans, families, rural residents.
Push back. Show up for local elections. Vote for leaders who invest in people, not prisons.

The ACA is at risk—and millions could lose affordable health care.
If Congress doesn’t extend enhanced tax credits by the end of 2025, premiums could jump by 75%. That’s $1,200–$3,000 more per year for working families.
Insurers are already proposing major hikes. New rules will soon make it harder for low-income families and DACA recipients to stay covered.
Tell Congress: protect the ACA and keep health care affordable.

This is the kind of clarity we need right now.
Not just doomscrolling—but direct action.
Use this: Truth is a tool, and this one’s sharp.

On this day in 2012, 12 people were murdered in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado.
It was one of the deadliest mass shootings in American history. But in Colorado, it was also personal. The victims were our neighbors. Our friends. Our teachers. Our kids.
Today, we remember them.

When immigrant families are torn apart.
When due process is denied.
When cruelty becomes law.
When trans youth are banned from healthcare and public spaces.
When Black communities are overpoliced and underprotected.
When Indigenous lands are sold off to the highest bidder.
When women are jailed for seeking reproductive care.
When people are poisoned by unsafe water for decades with no accountability.
When books are banned but guns are worshipped.

When workers are exploited and told to be grateful.
When journalists are attacked for reporting the truth.
When voting rights are gutted and entire communities are silenced.
When protest is criminalized but corruption is not.
When corporate profit outweighs human dignity.
When children are shot in their classrooms and nothing changes.
When history is rewritten to protect the powerful.
When the courts protect power instead of people.

We cannot look away.
We are not helpless. We are not voiceless.
We are the legacy of those who came before us.
We are the good troublemakers now.

Today we honor John Lewis — a man who made noise, got in the way, and got in good trouble.
On this Good Trouble Day, 5 years after his passing, communities across the country are rising up for justice, voting rights, and dignity for all.
Justice was never polite.
Silence is not neutral.
Progress has never come from playing it safe.

Farmworkers across California—and in other states—have launched a three-day nationwide strike from July 16 to 18, protesting recent immigration raids and demanding better protections. The strike is organized under the banner HuelgaParaLaDignidad (Strike for Dignity) led by activists, not traditional unions.
Sometimes, this summer seems endless but we’re making good trouble every day.

Due process isn’t just for criminal court.
It means a fair chance to be heard—even in civil cases like immigration.
In immigration court, that means:
Notice. A hearing. A chance to respond.
Not a jury. Not Miranda rights. But real protections.
This isn’t about open borders.
It’s about our government following its own rules.
Justice applies to everyone.
Not just citizens. Not just when it’s easy.
We break it down for you here. Swipe if you’re not allergic to the truth.
