A new Colorado law includes requirements that dozens of cities provide multilingual ballots during local elections, bridging a major gap in access for voting in those races.
Colorado Strengthens Access to Ballots in Spanish
The state adopted a Voting Rights Act to stand in for quickly eroding federal protections. Still, local advocates warn there’s much more Colorado can do to ensure multilingual access.

Cornell is seriously paying $30,000,000 to the Trump admin for the privilege of being extorted?
chrisgeidner.bsky.social Chris Geidner @chrisgeidner.bsky.social · 3d
Cornell agrees to "invest" $30 million in things like AI farming.

Cornell also agrees to pay $30 million to the U.S. for no clear reason or purpose.
To that end, and in settlement and compromise of the Released Claims in this Agreement, Cornell shall invest the sum of Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000), payable in equal installments, over the three years following the Effective Date, in research programs that will directly benefit U.S. farmers through lower costs of* production and enhanced efficiency, including but not limited to programs that incorporate Al and robotics, such as Digital Agriculture and Future Farming Technologies. These additional resources demonstrate Cornell's and the United States' longstanding commitment to assist America's fariners. 14. In consideration for entering into this Agreement, Cornell shall pay the United States the sum of Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000), payable in equal installments over three ycars. The first payment will be made within thirty (30) days of the Effective date, and each subsequent payment shall be made on the anniversary of the Effective Date.

Serious question: WTF is it with members of the Trump admin and MURDERING PETS
Mizelle’s impeachment battle cry followed a somewhat cryptic story he shared that appeared to involve an implicit threat his father once issued to put down a stray cat in the family’s yard. “What do I think DJT should do?
