Annie and Lakeesha struggle in school. AI teacher assistants treated them very differently.

Has Polis encouraged any state-level regulation of ultra processed foods? Even West Virginia has banned food dye. Why not Colorado?
Jared Polis stands by his praise of RFK Jr, though he makes clear he disagrees on vaccines

Chase Woodruff roasting Gabe Evans for hypocrisy actually was on my bingo card.
U.S. Rep. Gabe Evans insists past generations of immigrants, including his grandfather's family, did it "the right way," while millions of immigrants in the U.S. without legal status today did it "the wrong way."

History offers little support for any such distinctions.
A century later, Rep. Gabe Evans echoes anti-immigrant attitudes his grandfather’s family overcame | Colorado Newsline
Many of Rep. Gabe Evans’ statements in support of Trump's immigration policies distinctly echo the anti-immigrant rhetoric of the 1930s.

Filing open records requests on open records requests to identify “citizen journalists” who would rather stay anonymous is beautiful.
DoBetterDNVR bills itself as a “citizen journalist" but critics say it relies on shock and conspiracy to build its platform on Instagram and X. The account's anonymity, lack of transparency and absence of public ethical standards undermine its credibility, one expert said.

The account routinely excoriates Denver’s current leaders for the way the city approaches addiction and homelessness.

when RFK says he wants to “end chronic disease,” what people hear is “he wants to cure us” but what he means is “i want to cull the weak”
Republicans are waging a generalized war on science, but I think many of them don’t fully grok that RFK isn’t at war with science alone or per se: he’s at war with sick people, and of the view that only the lucky should be allowed to survive into old age. They are know nothings, he is Mengele.
RFK Jr. has now officially stated that he will dismantle the United States Preventive ServicesTask Force (USPSTF).

This is an independent body of expert scientists who volunteer their time to review data and provide guidance to Americans on important things like cancer screenings.

“undermining [questioning] religious beliefs [supernatural make believe]” should absolutely be the goal of education.

But now it’s unconstitutional.

Rick Steves is the Joe Rogan of the left.
In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Join Rick as he explores the most surprising and fascinating land he's ever visited: Iran. In a one-hour, ground-breaking travel special on public television, you'll discover the splendid monuments of...

Thought Trump’s early exit meant WWIII in the Middle East, but he just needed an excuse to leave the G7 early.
President Trump left early from the G7 summit and said he was working on something "much bigger" than a cease-fire between Israel and Iran. Israel said it had killed another senior Iranian general as the conflict entered its fifth day. Follow the latest updates. https://trib.al/ziO4f7I

Thousands of Christians are being rounded up and deported by the U.S. government, but they’re not cottagecore tradmoms or their homeschooled goat milk enthusiasts, so these guys are fine with it. Actually, they’re thrilled.

This is a metaphor that shows how little the tech overlords care about children.
“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.”

Whether it's Obama wearing a tan suit to a press conference or Trump using the military to attack American citizens, both presidents crossed some dangerous red lines for democracy.
