Bluesky works differently than Twitter in some important ways. One of them is that hashtags are kind of not a thing, but feeds and lists are in! We created this Colorado News & Politics list to help Centennial Staters find each other on Bluesky and keep up with Colorado News!
Really ghastly, despicable, indefensible stuff from Republican Jeff Crank in Colorado here. Just one more reason why Colorado needs to send @killinforco.bsky.social to congress instead of this ghoul.
“It could have been prevented by her if she would have complied...that’s what this gets down to, simply the rule of law.” --Rep. Jeff Crank on the murder of Renee Good

The President is sending Tom Homan to Minnesota.
He accepted $50,000 in cash bribes from FBI Agents stuffed in a CAVA bag.
Trump, Kristi Noem, Greg Bovino, and Tom Homan—they're all corrupt, in it for themselves, & lying to you.

Secretary Noem has blood on her hands. She needs to resign now or be removed from office.

A glimmer of hope.
pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

As we continue to mourn the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, we also must lift the stories of the 32 people who died in ICE custody just last year.
In December, 6 people died in ICE’s custody — the deadliest month in the history of the agency.
It is shameful, and it must end.

This is Barb Kirkmeyer, a Republican running for governor of Colorado. She led a movement to try to literally secede from the state after Democrats passed modest gun safety laws after the Aurora theater massacre. Here she is with a vigilante murderer so everyone here knows the company she keeps.

A former Republican Colorado State Representative (admittedly, one of the last few sane ones)
If we have to shut down the government to stop this ICE madness, so be it. Congress, do your job.

strange to me that a lot of people on this website simultaneously agree that the administration is run by incompetents who struggle to carry out their agenda without major political blowback AND that they’ll pull off a complex and sophisticated effort to rig elections and prevent defeat in November

After decades of inaction on guns, flooding the country with 400 million weapons because of how "sacred" the second amendment is to protect against government tyranny, they're really justifying the cold blooded murder of a concealed carry permit holding American citizen by the federal government.
BRENNAN: You have been a supported of the Second Amendment. Do you believe Americans have the right to bear arms while they're protesting?
SCALISE: In most states you are not allowed to carry a gun while you're committing another crime, and interfering with law enforcement is a felony

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Imagine this in a trial.
Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing
Declaration filed in federal court:
"I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

The fact that the attorney general of the United States feels compelled to respond to a literal piss drinking right wing shitposter promising to ramp UP the chaos after her government murdered another innocent american exercising two constitutional rights is, perhaps, the worst part.
