    Colorado Gov. Polis has signed SB-217 into law, ending qualified immunity for police, heavily restricting use of tear gas/projectiles on citizens, introducing criminal charges for cops who don’t intervene in excessive force cases + much more. All a direct result of protests.

    This is why news stories can't start and end with "police said." It's why the crime beat must be reimagined. All true before Uvalde, but local newsrooms everywhere should take this moment to really question how they cover policing and public safety moving forward.

    I cover felony disenfranchisement around the U.S., and have rarely seen something so shocking as what's happening now in Nebraska: 2 state officials overruling lawmakers to rescind the voting rights of tens of thousands of people, weeks before an election.

    Can’t overstate what a big deal this is. One of the most vicious law enforcement figures in America lost tonight.

    I think more important to discuss than Cruz’s individual behavior is that it’s part of something we’ll see more and more with climate change: If you have enough $ you can escape it, either temporarily or by resettling, and if you don’t, your whole life can be upended.

    For those counting at home, Colorado protesters so far can claim three removed statues, a new state law, a new investigation into Elijah McClain’s death, a KKK-connected neighborhood changing its name and a slew of city-level reforms. This has all happened in less than one month.

    A few yards to the right of this very peaceful scene was a big line of riot cops. And just past that line, more riot cops, and some shouting from demonstrators in the distance. The violinists just played through it all.

    As one of maybe 11 Wizards fans in Colorado, I thought this was a great moment after the win last night. @BulletsForever

    Earlier today outside the Colorado House, a gun fell off the person of Rep. Richard Holtorf and onto the floor as he rushed back into the chamber for a vote, according to several who witnessed it. It didn’t go off but those standing there got a bit of a jolt.

    U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, the chair of Colorado’s GOP, pressured a local party official to submit inaccurate election results. @Conrad_Swanson got the audio. dpo.st/3cdf9I3

    AP calls it: Paid family and medical leave (Prop. 118) passes easily in Colorado. A massive, progressive policy change for the state.
