Drug Use on RTD is Down, Trump's East High Bathroom Fixation, and What You Missed at Our Member Meetup

Months into an investigation, the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights has decided that East High School’s all-gender restrooms do, in fact, violate Title IX . The feds gave DPS ten days from last Friday to comply with a resolution to convert the bathrooms back to single gender — and while Superintendent Alex Marrero responded by doubling down on the district’s support of trans students, he has yet to comment specifically on whether DPS will follow through. Host Bree Davies and producer Olivia Jewell Love dig into the bathroom battle, plus discuss new data from RTD that shows customer complaints about open drug use along the transit system are down dramatically. Will it be enough to bring ridership back to pre-pandemic levels?
