More book bans piling up. Find out what your own state is up to, if they're banning or if they're protecting books. Literature is power.

I cannot say this loudly enough: we need everyone to know what is happening at Delaney Hall. 300 detainees inside are on Day 7 of a hunger and labor strike as of today. ICE is beating, gassing, tasing and assaulting protestors outside every night, and it is getting worse.

Remember Cardboard Cory? Maybe it's time to break out the same tactics for Hick.

Invaluable, detailed election explainer here. Always amazing to me how often important, accurate info about how our country works just never makes it to the public, the very people who deserve to know and benefit from it. I'm grateful Elizabeth and David stepped forward to do this. Share widely.

Imagine using $1.7 billion to address hunger, housing, education, and medical care. Imagine using $1.7 billion to address the wage gap and the lack of resources for survivors of violence and abuse. We should never look at these ideas as too radical or impossible again.

PS. One of our biggest success stories is Blackwater Rising. Kick them some coin if you have it to spare. They are feeding food insecure people, seniors, and whole communities of vulnerable folks and they’re a model of what great community can do. blackwaterrising.org/our-gardens/

Yep, really tired of Bennet and Hick. Yes, they're Dem, but they do nothing of note.

As hopeless as it may seem right now, we have to start talking about how to stop him. presswatchers.org/2026/04/ackn...
It’s past time that our top news organizations overcame their aversion to stating blunt truths that might appear partisan to small slivers of their declining audiences.

This president is profoundly unwell and, therefore, must be stopped — somehow, no matter how unlikely it appears at this moment.

@colorado.gov, while you're at it, Gov. Polis, no clemency for Tina Peters. You know very well what that would mean. We desperately need leaders who will join everyday people in fighting for what's right. No dithering or caving. Buck up. You can do it.

COMMENTARY: It seems an increasing number of Americans, including elected leaders and journalists, are afraid to tell the truth about what happened on January 6. That's dangerous.

Thanks for your attention to this, Governor, but I hope you're doing way more behind the scenes to find out what's going on, stop unlawful actions, and help Fernando and his children than this "deeply concerned" BlueSky post suggests.

Colorado sent an email to all SNAP recipients yesterday urging them to use food pantries. CDHS was informed last week that pantries can't do more without more funds to buy more food. Food pantries are uniting to tell @coloradogovernor.bsky.social Polis to release emergency funds to food pantries.

The whole thing is wrongly framed. It's not the effin' job of the prez to bring anything to heel - especially the media. This is just ongoing headline laziness that, at this point, is starting to feel deliberate.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

Speaking of good things, I recently stumbled across your lecture series on the many-worlds theory of quantum physics, and have been eagerly consuming it. Something about science provides a welcome respite from the madness.
