But the election is far more than a presidential race. A lot of candidates are vying for your vote and a lot of issues are on the ballot. With so much on the line, a wave of political ads is starting to flood our feeds. We rummaged through the Meta Ad Library and picked our favorite Colorado-based ads from this cycle. By waxing poetic, we hope to give inspiration and reminders if you’re about to place ads on the Metaverse and beyond.

Project 2025 is an explicit policy roadmap to transform the U.S. into a dystopian right-wing autocracy, providing a step-by-step plan to undermine the rule of law, challenge the separation of powers, eliminate the separation of church and state and annihilate civil liberties.

TikTok recently announced plans to label AI-generated content created from third-party software, while Meta has committed to labeling AI-generated content across its platform in the hope of combating misinformation and enhancing transparency. Plus, it may be a preemptive measure to address potential legal issues in the future, but that’s just good old-fashioned cynicism talking.

From NPR's departure due to the state-affiliated media label, to Elon Musk's vendetta against the New York Times resulting in their verification removal, and the pay walling of long-standing Twitter features, it's no wonder that journalists, activists, and nonprofits are feeling torn about their use of the platform.

Nonprofit websites are the first line of communications for anyone interested in our work on the ground, the services we provide, and how to get involved. But did you know that there’s a science behind how you interact with different websites?

Facebook, down? Instagram, down? WhatsApp, down? Three of the world's largest platforms took unexpected PTO recently, which seemingly turned into a communications nightmare for social media managers looking to keep their audiences in the know.

We’re excruciatingly cautious about 2020 election prognostication after the searing experience of starting November 8, 2016 with a predicted 80%+ chance of Hillary winning, only to fall into bed after midnight grappling with the news that Trump captured 304 electoral votes. That was a painfully brutal wake-up call, that’s for sure.
