The Denver Post: A mother in Arizona, a former Colorado Coalition for the Homeless employee who lives in New Mexico and a local public school teacher are among the people involved with DoBetterDNVR, a controversial social media account that stokes outrage online by featuring images of homeless people, public drug use and crime in Denver.

The anonymously run account, which bills itself as a “citizen journalist” dedicated to finding “compassionate, tough-love solutions to homelessness,” exploded in popularity during the last two years. Critics say it relied on shock and conspiracy to steadily build its platform to more than 144,000 followers across Instagram and X.

There’s a video of a man with his pants around his knees, twerking in his underwear at a bus stop. People who appear to be homeless sitting by a fire. Needles. Blood on the pavement. Fistfights. Surveillance footage with the sound of gunshots. A man holding a cardboard sign. A rat running down the street. People who appear to be high, or unconscious, or overdosing.
