@nypost The video does not show Long Island Audit threatening anyone. Sounds like you’re trying to defame Sean.

@Breaking57 Video recording license plates is not a misdemeanor or a felony.

@libsoftiktok Do you think that you could’ve survived with Derek Chauvin’s knee on your neck for that long? Quit gaslighting us.

This Farmington, New Mexico ordinance that city council wants to amend appears to be attempting to outlaw offensive electronic communications that are posted on social media. https://t.co/dh9WGGavMO

Does this ordinance sound constitutional to you?

City Council will be discussing it at their May 12th meeting and are planning to vote on adopting the amended ordinance on May 26th.

@PoliceThePolic1 The bully cop made the man have a seizure. This was not a "fake seizure."

@Marylandfreedom @CJGRISHAM Your face paint is out of the ordinary. Someone please call the feelings police for a detainment!

[Institute for Justice @IJ]

In 2021, independent journalist Justin Pulliam was arrested while filming a police encounter.

He teamed up with IJ to file a First Amendment lawsuit in federal court.

Last week, we won!

City of Durango tax dollars were used to pay for a full-page $1500-dollar tourism advertisement on the back cover of the Arts Perspective magazine published by Ballantine Communications. I ❤️transparency in government expenditures.

When Local News Network accepted a $10,000-dollar payment from the City of Durango for consulting its grant recipients, it may have compromised its ability to objectively report on the recipients and the city grant. https://t.co/Ato4Auujaa

@ridgewallet Lame that doesn’t even hold a small wad of cash.

[Press For Transparency @adam_athowell]

Thousands of dollars worth of invoices from Ballantine Communications (owner of The Durango Herald) to the City of Durango for 3/14/2025 through 4/30/2025.

With all of this money going from municipal government to the local newspaper--do you think that it has any affect on the way that reporters like Christian Burney writes about the City Council and City Attorney?

Attached to this post is a Google Drive link to a folder with invoices from Ballantine Communications to the City of Durango for advertising that ran in The Durango Herald. 1/1/2025 through 3/12/2025

Does this income affect independence & impartiality?

@MilitiaRadio Thanks for sharing your opinion on this questionable use of tax dollars.

[Press For Transparency @adam_athowell]

City of Durango Lodger's Tax dollars appear to have been used to fund the materials that are being offered at this prime commercial space in downtown Durango.

Take a close look at some of the books that this Youth Literary Center has to offer.

Is this a valuable use of taxes?

[Press For Transparency @adam_athowell]

@ColoradoGirl73 Well done! I hope those issues bake it to the next ballot.

@ColoradoGirl73 @ProtectKidsCO @JayMisany He was a very triggered man baby. I’m sorry that you had to endure his biological filth.
