Today was supposed to be the release. It didn’t happen like it should have.
This isn’t about theatrics. It’s about accountability and justice for survivors.
No more delays. No more gatekeepers. The full truth must come out.

If you’re celebrating the mass deportations of distraught, exhausted human beings seeking refuge, you probably shouldn’t be singing sweet songs about a baby with “no crib for a bed.”

Christian, If You're Supporting ICE, You Shouldn't Be Celebrating Christmas
Christian, I’m trying to reconcile two things I’ve seen this season, maybe you can help me make sense of them…

President Trump spoke publicly about Colorado's Tina Peters for the first time since issuing her a so-called "pardon."
Trump did not mention the pardon but did make several false claims about Peters' case.
We unpack them one by one.

Big food banks get attention and resources but small, community-based food banks also do important work filling gaps in the safety net. Let’s boost nine of them, from the city to the suburbs to rural Colorado. I’ll match the next fifty $5 donations: www.coloradogives.org/story/arapah...

When a corporation can pay $96 million to its CEO for just four months of work, it can afford to pay its workers a living wage and decent benefits.

Let’s not forget Lauren Boebert wanted a Special Counsel to handle the Epstein files.
She nominated her BFF Matt Gaetz.
That’s the guy who left Congress under disgraceful allegations he bought sex FROM A MINOR.
Survivors are just pawns in Boebert's game. I want justice.

There's a bipartisan push by some in Colorado's congressional delegation to free a father and children seized by ICE on their way to school in Durango. ICE has not suggested the father committed any crime.

As we see billionaires take control of every aspect of American life, you get why they want to divide us on "culture war" issues. If working class people of left and right united, we would be a threat to their billionaire agenda.

First it was the tariffs, now it’s a $40 billion bailout to Argentina.

Acetaminophen is the only fever reducing medication (antipyretic) that's effective and safe during pregnancy. Untreated fever puts your pregnancy at increased risk. Follow medical advice from your personal physician – Not RFKjr. Not Trump.
