Anti-choice Democrat? Not a thing.
Democrats For Life Of America hosted their first conference right here in Aurora, CO, asserting that the Democratic Party make room for “pro-life” Democrats. The point of the Democratic Party is to protect the rights and the well-being of working- class, middle-class, and lower-class Americans.

Mesa County GOP leadership shift reveals division, trend toward anti-immigrant, extremist views
In light of Colorado Times Recorder’s recent reporting on false, sexist and racist social media posts by Mesa County GOP Vice Chair Mark McCallister, an article from Sam Brasch of Colorado Public Radio’s Colorado Matters last Friday provides new context to the succession of Republican leadership in Mesa since the 2016 Presidential election, and may indicate a trend toward extremist and hardline positions among the executive officers.

“This Is a Clear Example of the Media Training Your Brain.” Not.
It’s the kind of conservative Facebook post you might roll your eyes at and move on, except it was posted just before last week’s murder of five staffers at a Maryland newspaper.
