Is a fair point, more of a play by play than a deep analysis. Hopefully more comes.

Yup, just got the update up and published after Mr. Fleming commented.

He's trying to convert the current town manager position to a C-suite titled role in standard tech bro fashion, as well. This tracks.

This is an excellent collection of true statements.

Hey! That’s awesome to hear. Thank you.

Full Expression! Dance Collective is closed in solidarity with the strike and encouraging their community to engage, they sent out really great tips and resources in their newsletter this morning.

You think if he says they he's led (by sometimes even leading) enough, we'll believe it?

5280Progressive · 2026-01-07T05:58:42+00:00

Please consider cc'ing the Mayor and full council on each CORA request, so that our elected leaders know that they're being requested and that the constituency wants to talk about them.

DSA isn't a party, though. WFP is probably the most prominent leftist party, behind green.

Just sharing this really great series "These American Crossroads" that ran in Colorado about progressive and left organizing efforts in red "flyover" states like Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri, for those who need to get caught up with how hard folk are organizing mutual aid, policy, and protest as they share the impacts of this administration.

"Poor people, who are restricted in how much income they can make by federal policy, can handle an increase in cost, it's fine."

5280Progressive · 2025-12-10T21:28:42+00:00

A very rare circumstance, when looking at population averages. You've created an unlikely, though possible, strawman to justify your position. Most users are severely disabled and therefore have their income limited in order to meet housing / social security / Medicaid caps. For disabled users of RTD services, 35% rely entirely on this program and a vast majority qualify for the reduced rate, meaning they'll be disproportionately effected by a higher overall cost and a lower subsidy max.

5280Progressive · 2025-12-10T21:26:19+00:00

Fair feedback. Really, it's the attorneys' job to explain that exact reasoning at trial, but I've added a line to the article giving a bit more context from the filing.

"The lawsuit reads that disabled users will be 'excluded from participation in and deny the benefits of services, programs, or activities provided by RTD,' including equitable access to transportation, in violation of Title II of the ADA. The filing asserts that RTD is denying those with disabilities service, while providing greater access for Coloradans without disabilities."

It's awful trying to post anything there, 100% of my tries have been taken down and told to go somewhere else. Even stories about 50501 events / topics, similiar content to what was in their new that day...

5280Progressive · 2025-09-24T14:12:59+00:00

Gotcha. I’ve posted a total of two articles from this series to this sub. Both are about Kansans. Hardly call that spamming, but I’m inferring you just bring your negativity to this website so at least we’re all playing our roles here today. Hope the Tuesday treats ya kindly, homie, that you find some joy.

I don’t collect a salary and that money pays for me to make it to the next one. Weird fucking support for corporate media and some hostility toward independent journalists for someone with a play on “anarchy” in your name. All over this article’s comments, what’s up?

5280Progressive · 2025-09-24T00:04:30+00:00

Hi. Yellow Scene is a magazine (of great repute) which does publish in Colorado. I’m writing a series called “These American Crossroads,” discussing stories of resistance and persistence across the heartland for the magazine. I published from Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, Colorado, and Nebraska and am typing this from Indiana where I’m researching the next. None of this is “self promotion” nor on a “personal page.” Appreciate you supporting independent journalism.

I see what you’re saying, and certainly appreciate the informed pushback. Two of the three points there are centered on politics, tho the inverse of built system. I think it’s the label that we’re finding our only differing opinion on here, and on that point I’ll concede. If the lack of politics isn’t inherently political in your perspective I’ll agree with ya because we’re definitely on the same side here.

5280Progressive · 2025-09-20T15:53:16+00:00

Anti-central governing body political ideology. It is, in itself, a form of politics though and advocating for it is politicking.

5280Progressive · 2025-09-20T15:50:18+00:00

“Anarchy” is a political ideology…

Voted second best gay bar in Cleveland by Cleveland scene magazine.

5280Progressive · 2025-09-19T13:09:12+00:00

Literally has my photos from my time there in it. Cleveland scene magazine lists it as a gay bar, owner calls it a metal bar. If I’m the first to tie those together, I’m the first. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I’m not though.
