Denver expands free meal program to support kids during SNAP benefit pause Fourteen recreation centers across Denver will offer free meals to kids ages 3 to 18 starting on Nov. 1. Kids are encouraged to bring a friend too.

Denver Rec Ctrs will be feeding kids because of the SNAP cut off.
The illegal, unnecessary and cruel SNAP cut off. There is money for the program and funds already allocated specifically so folks don’t go hungry. Thank you for stepping up Denver.

Starting Nov 1, millions will lose access to food assistance. 40% of SNAP benefits go to children.

This decision is cruel and avoidable. If you’re able, support the local food banks and community orgs in this post.

A Pile of Rubble: After 123 Years, the East Wing Is Gone

Over 5,450 women were killed by an intimate partner from 2014 to 2020. In one in three of these instances, the perpetrator then died by suicide themself.

This October, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I think it’s important to understand the research coming from @everytown showing how common sense gun laws help prevent unthinkable tragedies that are all too common realities for many women.

At a gubernatorial candidate forum over the weekend, state Sen. Mark Baisley commented, at length, that his LGBTQ colleagues in the legislature have a "sickness in their minds" and are "in rebellion against God."

This is, at the very least, cause for censure.

Take this down and apologize. You are putting lives in danger because of your hasty, irresponsible and inaccurate reporting.

Actually, you should do a front page story on how you got it wrong, why, and the consequences of your actions.

Our country was attacked. Not some of us, not only those on the right or the left. We’re forever changed. 9/11 is always a sad day, I think about my friends Calvin, Doug and Tom and their families. Honor the first responders, my local firehouse that lost so many that day. Never forget.
