🚨 JUSTICE SERVED?
Two anti-ICE activists — Ashleigh Brown (CO) & Cynthia Raygoza (CA) — were convicted March 2 of felony stalking an ICE deportation officer.
They followed him home from work, livestreamed the pursuit on Instagram, shouted his neighborhood details to bystanders (“ICE lives here!”), and harassed his family — forcing the officer, his wife, and young kids (including a disabled child) to relocate to another county.
Sentencing is June 8, 2026. Each faces up to 5 years in federal prison.
Should they get the maximum sentence for endangering a federal officer and his family?
A. Yes — full prosecution
B. No

@MichaelNIXG I saw the movie House of Dynamite today. I could not imagine Harris being president in a circumstance like that. She isn’t smart enough or tough enough. We dodged a bullet.

NEW: Country singer Maren Morris, who is openly bis*xual and paints her 6-year-old son’s nails, says she got into an argument with a man who told her that her son needs to “toughen up.”
She said the comment came up at a weekend party while discussing gender stereotypes
Morris said it made her “see red,” the conversation “got heated,” and the man “stormed out.”
She added, “My son doesn’t need to be tough, especially in the way you’re using that word.”
Morris explained that she had become worried that her son was learning things like 'only girls can like pink' and that 'girls can't like Spider–Man.'
'He loves colors. Sometimes we paint his nails. He loves to make jewelry and friendship bracelets.'

One of the more bizarre stories in Colorado politics is how Jena Griswold got a $40k fellowship to “Salsa Dance Around the World.” But there are zero photos or documentation of any of this.
Jena received the Thomas J. Watson Fellowship (Watson is the founder of IBM and original IBM AI Engine namesake) after graduating from Whitman College. This prestigious, highly competitive post-graduate fellowship funds independent, year-long international projects for recent college graduates. It is not a traditional academic “salsa dancing fellowship” but a self-designed travel and research grant.
From the record, She used the fellowship to travel to multiple countries, immersing herself in salsa dance, its cultural roots, marketing, and social contexts. She took salsa lessons, frequented salsa clubs, and studied how the dance is practiced and commercialized globally.
The countries she visited for this project included:
• Brazil
• Japan
• Germany
• Panama
• Spain
• Puerto Rico
Again, no photos, documentation or thesis available. This very strange story has never added up. Why would you go to Japan to study salsa dancing? Why would such a prestigious fellowship fund this?
Griswold goes from “salsa around the world” → Penn Law → Obama campaign → Colorado Secretary of State → AG candidate, it’s easy to wonder if the fellowship was less about dance and more about networking or grooming. Plenty of elite fellowships (Fulbright, Rhodes, etc.) do have intelligence ties for talent spotting. And nobody has ever seen her salsa dance, mor wants to. #copolitics
