Honestly, rather than the common extensions such as .com, .net or .info, we wanted to stand out in the crowd. Although the WTF domain extension is rarely used, it definitely is memorable.
We’re here to give you straight facts, clear context, and zero whining — just an accessible, fact‑based resource that helps you understand the issues and find real solutions.
The praying mantis is one of nature’s most fascinating creatures — a patient observer, a precise hunter, and a master of camouflage. 
With 3D vision, a 180‑degree swivel on its head, and stealth that would make a spy jealous, the mantis sees what others miss. It’s been around for more than 135 million years, outlasting dinosaurs, disasters, and countless political cycles. (We relate.)
At OpenAgenda.wtf, we’ve adopted the mantis as our unofficial spirit animal — not because we’re insects, and not because some folks call us dinosaurs, but because its traits mirror the work we’re here to do.
Like the mantis, we:
• Hunt down the facts behind the issues affecting citizens — in Colorado and across the United States.
• See through the camouflage of political messaging, budget tricks, and narrative spin.
• Call out the predators — the power players who undermine transparency, accountability, or the public interest.
• Stay focused on solutions, not noise, outrage cycles, or the national whining choir.
• Stand strong for the future of Colorado and this country, grounded in constitutional rights and civic responsibility.
• Watch from every angle, connecting dots others overlook and revealing the full picture.
The mantis survives because it adapts, observes, and acts with intention. That’s the energy we bring to this project.
We hope you’ll join us — learn with us, challenge us, and help strengthen a citizen‑powered movement for clarity, truth, and fearless engagement.
Absolutely. We welcome collaboration with creators who share our commitment to fact-based civic dialogue. If you’re interested in joining forces—whether for interviews, cross-promotion, or co-hosted segments—fill out our contact form. We’ll reach out to explore what, when, and where we can build something impactful together.
OpenAgenda.wtf is a citizen‑powered clarity project. We break down political narratives, policy decisions, and public‑sector messaging across the United States — with a special focus on Colorado, where many national trends take shape. Our goal is simple: help you understand what’s real, what’s spin, and what it means for your community.
Because national politics doesn’t stay national. Federal decisions ripple into state budgets, local policies, and everyday life. Colorado is our home base and a powerful case study — but the forces shaping our state are the same ones shaping the country. We connect the dots so you can see the full picture.
Absolutely. We spotlight rural equity in school funding, food access, and grant flows—because small towns deserve big clarity.
Nope. We’re not here to cheer for teams. We’re here to translate complex issues, expose spin, and give citizens the context they need to think for themselves. If someone’s messaging is misleading, we’ll call it out — regardless of the color of their yard sign.
We’re fact-driven, and fiercely unaffiliated. Our podcast and explainers are built for civic empowerment, not political spin.
We don’t do insider jargon, doom‑scroll drama, or performative outrage. We focus on clarity, context, and solutions. We map systems, incentives, and narratives so you can understand why something is happening — not just what someone tweeted about it.
For citizens who want to be informed without being overwhelmed. For people who care about their communities but don’t have time to decode political messaging. For anyone who’s tired of spin, noise, and “trust us, it’s complicated.”
Because politics is heavy enough. A little edge keeps things human, honest, and readable. We take the issues seriously — not ourselves.
