The far right doesn’t like to lose. But they’re getting so good at it!

It was an historic night. One week ago today, Colorado struck back at the polls against Trump and the Republican takeover of Washington, D.C. Colorado’s congressional delegation has a Democratic majority again for the first time since 2010, helping progressives take back the U.S. House of Representatives. We elected the first openly LGBTQ man governor […]

In the last week, we’ve witnessed horrible acts of political violence and intimidation across the nation. Bombs mailed to former Presidents and other critics of Donald Trump, a racially-motivated random shooting in Kentucky, and then the unthinkable killing of 11 people attending services at a Pittsburgh synagogue this past weekend. My grandparents survived the holocaust. […]

And we won’t […]

During last week’s confirmation hearings for Trump’s latest Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Americans witnessed another worst-case scenario. The truth about Brett Kavanaugh–that he will solidify a right-wing majority on the Supreme Court, endanger women’s rights, LGBT rights, and the rights of everyone in America–can no longer be denied. Kavanaugh won’t say how he would […]
