@ProgressNowCO Yeah, kings don’t allow protests. You are a bunch of dumbos.

🚨 BREAKING: No Kings rally in Denver takes a dangerous turn.
After the main event at the Capitol, some protesters turned violent and attempted to shut down traffic on I-25. Police in riot gear were forced to deploy tear gas. Rioters were pushed back to 20th and Blake, next to Coors Field.
Blocking major highways endangers lives—ambulances, firefighters, and everyday drivers can’t get through in emergencies. It turns a protest into lawlessness, violates others’ rights, and forces police response instead of peaceful expression. Free speech doesn’t include creating chaos that harms the public, Colorado deserves better.

🚨 Do you understand what SCOTUS is about to decide?
in 1857, the Supreme Court ruled that Black Americans... even those born free on American soil.. could never be citizens.. it was called the Dred Scott decision.. one of the most shameful rulings in legal history..
it took a Civil War and 360,000 Union deaths to fix it..
in 1868, Congress passed the 14th Amendment.. "all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens".. no exceptions.. no asterisks.. they wrote it that way on purpose.. so no government could ever again decide who counts as American on this soil..
it has stood for 156 years..
Trump signed an executive order trying to end it..
not a constitutional amendment.. not an act of Congress.. an executive order..
and SCOTUS is about to decide if that's allowed..
here's what nobody's saying out loud..
this isn't about immigration..
if a president can override the 14th Amendment with an executive order.. there is no amendment a president cannot override with an executive order..
one executive order just did what the Confederacy couldn't.

@pweiser @daveyseligman But yet you are allowing @DenverDOTI to limit scooter companies. 🤔. Why is that?

BREAKING-The judge in our case challenging the Nexstar-Tegna merger (9News and Fox31) just issued a temporary restraining order, blocking the companies from merging. On April 7th, the judge will consider the request to bar the merger while we make our case to stop it permanently.
Phil Weiser@pweiser
Not so fast. I and other State AGs just filed an emergency motion to prevent the merger from happening. This merger violates the law and would harm consumers, journalism, and our community. We are on the case. coag.gov/press-releases…

@cityaestheticss I pay for public schools and libraries—I don’t use those.

Playing political games with disaster relief is just downright cruel.

It's three times harder for blue states to get disaster funding under Trump dlvr.it/TRfVrW

@Catheri16757657 @EricLDaugh @NevadaLiberty64 The indigenous were conquered. Only 2% of settlers were slave owners. Need to study a little more.

@EricLDaugh @NevadaLiberty64 America was built on land that we stole from Native Americans, on the backs of enslaved Africans. Go fuck yourself, racist.

🚨 JUST IN: Stephen Miller lays it out PERFECTLY
Imagine a "native Minnesotan who works as a lineman...worried about his ability to support for and provide his family."
"And then imagine that he has a neighbor who's a SOMALI REFUGEE who arrived two years ago and has a Mercedes and NO financial stress and no worries at all in the entire world and never seems to ever go to work at all because he just went to an office in the state, lied on a piece of paper, and got unlimited free money forever for life!"
"THAT is the system that is being run and that is the corruption that this task force under the leadership of the Vice President is going to demolish." @StephenM

@javier_mabrey @baconforco Suddenly you favor the free market, but want to freeze the rent and control private property. 🤔🤔

My bill with @baconforco to end surveillance pricing passed the house with flying colors today. The biggest companies in the world are spying on us to charge us more, this bill ends that practice in Co. This is what it looks like to fight for a more affordable Colorado.

@bklnfin3st @StreetsblogNYC Again, living in a fantasy world. Ignorance is on full display.

@5280FT @StreetsblogNYC Yeah bc you don’t know what you’re talking about. Cars and trucks are the least efficient ways of moving humans and goods.

At-grade, sustainable transit infrastructure is a fraction of the cost of rebuilding a highway that permits 40-ton trucks to rollercoaster through our complex, dense city. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/03/27/new…

621 and 633 17th Street
Purchased by The Luzzatto Group for just $3.2M in 2025, worth $200M in 2019. Now @therealcityofdenver has agreed to use taxpayer money for a $63M loan.
Here is how the cycle works:
🔥 Invite in vagrants, crime and chaos…downtown offices sit vacant while the area declines
💰 Developers scoop up properties for pennies on the dollar ($3.2M purchase in 2025, buildings worth $200M in 2019)
🏗️ Turn the block into a giant subsidized housing project (at least 70 units at 60% AMI)
💸 Use taxpayer money for low interest loans to fund it - $63,000,000
🤑 Developers get rich on the rebuild while we pay
🚨 More subsidized units bring more drug addicts and crime downtown
❌ Businesses see no reason to return
They call it revitalization. But we are the ones footing the bill while developers cash in.
