“Broken windows never break community.”

Several queer-owned + queer-affirming businesses in Denver had their windows smashed this week. This isn’t just vandalism. It’s intimidation.

Support local LGBTQ+ spaces. Check in. Show up. We keep us safe. 🌈

A judge just blocked Trump’s move to lay off federal workers during the shutdown.

Public employees shouldn’t be pawns in political fights. They keep the country running — even when politics grind it to a halt.

New federal tax cuts make tips and overtime income tax-free—but Colorado plans to keep taxing overtime starting in 2026 to protect state programs. A possible 2026 ballot measure could change that.

The federal government temporarily cut taxes on tips and overtime. What does that mean for Colorado state taxes?

After the Big Beautiful Bill, the federal tax code and the Colorado tax code are parting ways.

Freedom delayed is not freedom denied—but it was delayed.

Today we remember that Black liberation is hard-won, and still unfinished.

🏳️‍🌈 The first Pride wasn’t a parade. It was a riot.

Led by Black and Brown trans women, queer folks fought back against police violence at Stonewall in 1969. Pride began as resistance — not rainbow capitalism.

Honor the roots. Keep protesting. 🌈✊
