Why do Dems insist on a gerontocracy? I saw this disaster in my own race for CC5.

Another problem Dems dont want to talk about. ...

3/3 - Otherwise, we’re truly grateful for everyone who has asked what’s next! We’ll share more on that soon. Stay tuned. #copolitics

2/2 - JAX4EPCO submitted this complaint to report EPCO Dems leadership for incorrectly denying a ballot audit request – as well as neutrality and conduct violations. Complaint attached. #copolitics

1/2 - JAX4EPCO stands for accountability regardless of political party. Therefore, it’s with some sadness that the Committee to Elect Jacqueline Armendariz Unzueta must share its statement about the complaint it filed against @epcodems.bsky.social as a public interest & for public good. #copolitics

You guys call leftists purity testers and all this other shit. You call us pinkos and denigrate us and extremists and all this.

We want your fucking kids to go to school and eat healthy meals and grow up and be safe and have jobs and not be institutionally murdered by the state.

Humble yourselves.

BREAKING: A federal appeals court upheld that Denver police officers used excessive force against people peacefully protesting the murder of George Floyd in the summer of 2020.

It also upheld the city of Denver’s liability for these rights violations.

"The Opportunity Caucus is a group of Democratic state legislators in Colorado focused on practical solutions to kitchen-table issues like housing costs, jobs, and wages. Does this make you feel positive or negative about the Opportunity Cau-cus, or does it make no dif-ference?"

"One Main Street Colorado is a coalition of business, la-bor, and community leaders working to rebuild Colorado's middle class, upgrade infrastructure, and support good-paying jobs. Does this make you feel positive or negative about One Main Street Colorado, or does it make no differ-ence?"

"What have you seen or heard about the Colorado Democratic state legislators who were accused of an ethics violation?"

Two months out from Colorado primaries, a poll in the field is asking what voters think of the pro-business moderate Dem bloc at the Capitol (and their alleged ethics violation)

Opinion | Older Americans Are Hoarding America’s Potential

"It is not ageist to ask whether older people should be required to give more to younger Americans & national priorities — it is critical to the future of our democracy and society. America needs to confront gerontocracy before the system collapses under the weight of its inequality and injustice."

Another victim of Cesar Chavez breaks their silence: ​​‘My body remembers’ Jennifer Andrea Porras, now 53, says they were sexually abused by the union leader as a teen

Never forget all the abusers being recently outed has to do with the courage of survivors going public - not systems, not parties, not orgs.

The COURAGE of SURVIVORS.

We see it in California, arguably part of the problem in Maine, and lots of others: state laws for candidates qualifying to get on the ballot are not just too burdensome. The deadlines are often far too early (and relatedly, many primaries are also too early). Goal should be as late as is practical.

HOW BLACK WOMEN HAVE BEEN ESSENTIAL TO AMERICAN DEMOCRACY (AND WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM THEM)

To survive right-wing authoritarianism, Americans would be wise to learn from Black women who have always had to strategize, organize, & instigate from the margins.

Graph showing that in 2021, 15% of people in prison were 55+, a 5x increase from 1991.

Older people now make up 5x as much of the prison population as they did 3 decades ago.

Turning prisons into “makeshift nursing homes” is one of the nation’s most wasteful, morally bankrupt experiments to date.

Those "fringe" activists some of you clearly despise are usually right on the substance.

Today, a lot of people will be talking about the manifesto that Palantir released. In addition to pouring over what those words mean, I invite you to ground the conversation in what Palantir has already done.

Its work with Israel and ICE show us exactly what it stands for.

I wasn't afraid to say this in November 2024.

There's even more evidence and logic behind this legitimate doubt now in April 2026.

Trump is a thief and a liar. Let's not pretend he wouldn't do everything in his power to cheat an election.

"We don't do very well in this country in terms of incorporating young people into our thinking, into our work ... I think of children as human beings. They're impacted by everything that happens in the world, and that includes, of course, incarceration."

Seeing blue MAGA ppl use the phrase "dirtbag leftists" and isn't that just so telling?

It’s incredibly difficult to vote these sociopaths of both parties out.
Our campaign finance laws make it almost impossible.
Citizens United is to blame.
Voters don't choose its candidates, corporations & foreign lobbies that do.
We get to select from the plutocrats draft picks.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: scene from the movie Aliens; Ripley is in a mech suit and delivers her iconic line: “get away from her, you bitch!” Panel 2: the xenomorph queen lunges at Ripley in the robotic suit and they engage in a fight. Panel 3: later, the xenomorph queen is standing in the shower, mid wash. She says, “‘it takes one to know one, honey.’ That’s what I should have said.”

Never want to USians fix their mouths to speak about so-called Third World political corruption again.
