Here is a long read for Monday. Last week saw two major school board protests in Douglas County and Co Springs. I cover the activists groups involved and their increasing influence over district admin and board members in DougCo, D11, D20, and D49.

@alissaazar @Bafty Live rounds have already been aimed at queer people. #CoSprings

In so-called #SacramentoCA over 50+ turned out for a vigil in solidarity with #5dead #25injured #CoSprings #QClubMassacre. Many armed and calling for a unified response against our attackers, chanting "#QueerMeansAttack // #QueersBashBack"

Today the sacred cloth pride flag was draped on the #ColoradoSprings City Hall. It was the same flag that was displayed in Orlando following the pulse shooting. #colorado #CoSprings #ClubQ

My latest on the Club Q shooting. 5 dead, at least 18 wounded. 22 year-old Anderson Lee Aldrich is in custody, and was involved in a bomb threat last year that the DA declined to pursue charges for. #ClubQ #Colorado #ColoradoSprings #CoSprings
