so ICE murdered a father in cold blood from a routine traffic stop, we're murdering random Venezuelans in foreign waters, we're shackling S. Koreans for building the factories we need to keep the southern economy alive, and we have a majority party trying to tie passport status to political views

Aurora City Councillor Says He's Proud to Work for Private Prison Group That Runs ICE Facility The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Aurora has long been a source of tension in the community. Recently, members of Colorado’s congressional delegation uncovered t...

"Kassaw touted that the Aurora facility employed a number of immigrants, like himself. However, Kassaw refused to speak to any of the numerous allegations of human rights abuses at the facility and by GEO Group on the whole."

And the kicker here, Third Way's philosophy of centrism is just as volatile a political tactic, McCaskill lost her seat, Tester his seat, Peltola, Tim Ryan, Shalala, I can go on and on

If it was centrism that appealed to people, the far-right wouldn't be winning elections, but they are

Democrats can listen to Third Way at their own peril, no amount of "appealing to the center" will get through to the people you think it will

"Don't use "LGBTQ+", next you're going to say drop the T, which some democrats already are

"We have to be careful about using grad school-ish language around voters" just sounds like a way of saying "we can't use big words around the poors"

If you think that using the term "food insecurity" or "lgbtqia" is what turned off "centrists" then I have news for you, they were never centrists and no they were not people who were reachable

You can argue about democrats inability to do effective messaging, but get real

Aurora City Councilor Amsalu Kassaw, who works for GEO Group which runs the #ICE detention center in Aurora, told me that he was proud that GEO treated inmates with dignity and respect. However, he declined to comment on the deaths at the facility attributed to neglect

CO Democrats & Veterans Groups Condemn Trump Air Force Policy That Strips Transgender Service Members of Early Retirement The U.S. Air Force issued a memo earlier in August denying early retirement to all transgender service members with between 15 and 18 years of military service and giving them...

Trans #Veterans and service members have been denied early retirement, with some having their previously accepted retirements rescinded, as a result of new policies laid out under Trump executive order

“They won’t overturn same sex marriage!”

That’s what we all thought about Roe. We didn’t believe it could fall, until it did.

Please don’t become complacent.

The right wing christofascists have seized power & want to undo decades of hard won civil rights.

Hey, I'm all those thingsI have been working as a journalist primarily covering politics for 4 years now and just graduated with my master's in international and intercultural communication where my focus was examining the spread of conspiracy theories in online forums

Jeff Crank and Lauren Boebert Vote Against Releasing Epstein Files After Calling for Transparency Last week, Congressman Jeff Crank (R-CO) told a radio show host he wanted to see transparency in the Epstein case. Yesterday, he, along with the rest of Colorado’s Republican delegation,...

So this is one of the stranger stories I've covered lately for @coloradotimesrecorder.com The Epstein Case has been reignited public debate and while some MAGA Republicans are still pursuing federal action, others seem to fall in line with the Trump administration's assessment #epstein

I spoke with: State Sens. Julie Gonzalez, Katie Wallace, Mike Weissman, and Lisa Cutter, as well as Senate President James Coleman and Rep. Brianna Titone who is currently running for Treasurer, they are asking for transparency and health and safety checks on the facility

Congressional representatives were reportedly asked to attend so that they could request to tour the facility, although none showed up, some Democratic members from the state legislature attended the rally

Paper cranes and paper butterflies were affixed to fences outside the facility as performers, like Denver bands Flobots and Izcalli performed. Detained immigrants can be seen through the windows

@coloradotimesrecorder.com I'm out here at the All Out For Jeanette Vizguerra rally outside the GEO Group-ICE facility. Community members and immigrant rights activists have gathered to call attention to the inhumane treatment of detainees.

A zoning map showing no allowed commercial use.

A plan showing the proposed food market on Allegheny

More criticism should be levied against the dogma of anti-small business zoning.

Here's a neighborhood Philadelphia classifies as a "food desert" with limited access to food.

Yet in 2015 a grocery store tried to replace a bakery and was denied due to the residential only zoning.

@coloradotimesrecorder.com From what I observed, the protest was entirely peaceful. Protesters shouted: "Who do you serve? Who do you protect?" at Denver police #Denver #NoKings

@coloradotimesrecorder.com even more video, this was from when the March was first starting

@coloradotimesrecorder.com protestors walking by union station in downtown #denver

@coloradotimesrecorder.com now that I'm out of downtown here are some videos from the #NoKings protests

@coloradotimesrecorder.com the #NoKinge circled around downtown Denver, passing by Auraria campus, DPD threatened the use of "chemical munitions" if people attempted to get on the highway

This is also what America looks like

Will upload videos later, bluesky still takes forever to upload

@coloradotimesrecorder.com #denver #nokings a March has started

@coloradotimesrecorder.com Currently 90+ degrees outside, a ton of booths have been set up by various organizations ranging from immigrants advocacy organizations, social democracy perponents, LGBTQ+ groups

@coloradotimesrecorder.com Coming to you from the Colorado Capitol, today's #NoKings protest in Denver is full swing - people across the US have come out in opposition to the Trump administration #denver #denverprotests

These protests were scheduled across the country to coincide with a military parade in DC, put on unofficially in celebration of Trump's birthday. Critics have referred to this as a clear sign of authoritarianism, especially in the wake the feds unilaterally sending troops into LA #colorado

Tweet from Eyal Yakoby: "You know what we never see? Pro-Israelis violently attacking Palestinians in the United States. I keep hearing “Zionists are violent,” yet only one side continuously perpetrates heinous acts of terrorism."

Three Palestinian students were shot in Vermont. A Palestinian six-year-old was murdered by his pro-Israel landlord. A Texas woman was indicted for trying to drown a 3-year-old Palestinian girl.

We don't have to make this comparison to condemn what happened in Boulder on Sunday. We really don't.
