We really do need that, there’s a big upswell in union activity right now in the area and the press scene overall is pretty hollowed out.
You ever notice how the framing never goes the other way?
E.g., “Will Coloradans see higher prices if CEO pay keeps going up?”
But workers start making noise about their physical safety and the media framing pits the consumer pricing interest against the worker safety interest.
My Department of Early Childhood bill, HB26-1259, passed the House today. This bill makes technical updates to Colorado's early childhood system so programs can effectively and efficiently support Colorado’s kids, families and providers of care.
Oman's foreign minister, who attempted to shame the US into not entering a war of aggression, says that the goals of US-Israeli war on Iran are not limited to weakening Iran, but also the Gulf states and anyone supportive of Palestinians.
Calls on GCC to reconsider security arrangements.
The more I think on recent work by @gruberte.bsky.social @jlappen1.bsky.social @shastingssimon.bsky.social @jmijin.bsky.social and friends, the more inevitable it seems that governments will need to take over/wind down certain fossil businesses to avoid catastrophic failures and inequities. This...
From a friend in Beirut this morning, who in the last few days has seen several Israel missile strikes within walking distance of their home.
"The wealthiest 10% of people on the planet are responsible for 65% of the 0.61C increase in global average temperatures over 1990-2020, according to new research."
The climate scene should keep inequality in mind. Who are we solving the crisis for?

The Taco Bell is a community staple, as are you. Congrats
put aside what israel is doing to palestinians, or lebanese, or syrians, or Iranians, etc etc. its weird as a lebanese person to say this but ive been very distressed seeing the enormous damage israel is doing to its own people, and to jews more broadly around the world. its distressing to see
I am old enough to remember the vitriol directed at random humanities scholars' work complaining about the totalizing tendencies of capitalism to corrupt, colonize, or co-opt everything. I also lived long enough to read long term coverage of the literal attempt to privatize thinking in the newspaper
Do share when you’re done, I’d buy several copies!
Man I could write a book about this, working in a city where the transportation dept and climate dept are silo’d as separate functions.

Meanwhile, Xcel's profits could triple to $1.9 billion by 2031, while electricity rates rise as much as 55%, according to state regulators. .... It's up to Colorado to shield consumers from the price shock of Xcel Energy’s data-center related building boom coloradosun.com/2026/03/12/x...
i knew a bunch of folks who worked at Facebook's outsourced content moderation shop in Austin and it fucked a bunch of them up, so i'm imagining that at a larger scale (of both operation size and depravity). The tech sector is, I suppose, an imperial actor
Observing history? Wokeness running amuck in the military!
Sodomizing a Palestinian prisoner with a knife on camera is apparently legal in Israel
“Hearing hearings” never post pre-coffee
I know I harp on it but I have to — John Hickenlooper introduced this guy at the Senate confirmation hearing hearings, and big picture, electing Dems like him with a pro oil and gas background paves the way for endless war
More than 630 people, at least 91 of them children, have been killed in Lebanon in the past week, authorities say, as the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran has engulfed the country.
New: Rep. Andy Ogles, who said Muslims don’t belong in America, represents one of the largest Muslim populations in the American South.
His Tennessee district includes a neighborhood known as Little Kurdistan.
Some Muslims in his district fear his comments will fuel harassment and violence
It’s easy (more easy than accurate) to dismiss academic critics of generative AI as uninformed or emotive, which is often anyway code for “moralizing.” But it’s remarkable how much gen AI boosterism requires feigning ignorance that theft and impersonation are widely seen as wrong, for good reasons.
im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality
Something strange happened before this story was published. An on-record source backed out and asked to be removed -- after being contacted by the director of Denver's transportation dept. We decided to address this in the story, transparently:
Shaun Boyd has been like this forever, I’m sure she’s loving the Bari Weiss era at CBS.
Yes. It’s so stupid, I work in muni housing and can say it is extremely challenging to deploy rental assistance in 30 days or less.
Also, rental assistance dollars are good, and would be more impactful if the tenant is not getting evicted before the city can deploy dollars to assist them. These are complimentary tools, not an either/or question as the Mayor frames it.
Frey explaining to constituents why he did jack shit against ICE but is fully prepared to stop the Council from helping:
