As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.

Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

When our communities see that we are not letting up or rolling over and that we will stand on corners in the cold to defend our vulnerable neighbors, our community grows stronger. Come meet some great resisters on a corner near you: your voice makes a difference.

We all value safety--but not military force unleashed in our streets. When the White House skews crime statistics to justify city takeovers, how does that keep us safe? We deserve proven protections, not political power plays. #TruthBrigade

Nothing matters” is what they want us to think. Our actions DO make a difference; when in doubt, look at what you do each day for friends and family. #DisinfoBuster

Colorado’s elections are safe, secure, and accurate—state audits of 1M+ votes (2019–24) found 99.99% accuracy. Mail-in and in-person ballots are secure, verified, and trackable. Reject the misinformation.

Between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, join us in hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com?utm_source=i...
(above images of the Target, Amazon, and Home Depot logos that have been crossed out) We Ain't Buying It Target Companies This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administration's biased attacks on DEl; Home Depot, for allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this administration to secure their own corporate tax cuts.

Youth in a Pueblo correctional facility are going hungry.

This is unacceptable. Colorado's youth deserve rehabilitation and services, not malnourishment behind bars.

Young people held at Pueblo detention facility aren’t getting enough food, parents allege
Ten mothers told The Denver Post they have watched their boys at the Youthful Offender System detention facility in Pueblo lose concerning amounts of weight over the past few months.

We have a housing crisis in the US

In 1985, the median income was $23,620, and the median price of a home was $84,300 - 3.6 times the typical income

In 2023, the median price of a home was $428,600 - 5.3 times the median income of $80,061

50-year mortgages are NOT the answer; we need more houses

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…
