#Coleg is debating the Worker Protection Act now. If you missed my take on why bills like this relate to the other [taboo] half of the housing formula, check it out: open.substack.com/pub/robinkni...

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125. The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN. This is trickle down economics on steroids.

Did I see post-election naval gazing that progressives/Democrats just aren't funny enough? ICYMI @taxwarroom.bsky.social isn't conceding just yet: youtu.be/Mc8cTwjtE3k?... 😂😜

#Denver is in the streets resisting: firings, pardons, unelected billionaires, attacks on our neighbors, funding cuts for everyone from farmers to education to veterans. Standing up for immigrants, transgender ppl, racial inclusion & constitution. In the 🥶❄️🌨️. This is what democracy looks like.

And if you are in Jeffco, join my colleagues for an the Engagement and Advocacy in State and Local Government Town Hall starting at 9:30am at Red Rocks Community College in Lakewood.

New 2024 data: Over 50% of GOP fundraising now comes from just 100 mega-donors. Trump’s embrace of the billionaire class—and their embrace of him—will only supercharge this trend.

Trump’s agenda – which comes from a place of utter cruelty, racism, and greed – will be catastrophic for all of us. We will NOT submit to this president’s brazen attempts to divide our communities & pit working people against one another. Full statement: localprog.org/TrumpEAsStat...

Remember: The GOP uses dangerous smears against trans people, immigrants, and people of color to deflect attention from the near record share of the nation’s income and wealth now going to the richest Americans. Don't let them get away with it.

As a reminder, US citizens commit crimes at higher rates than immigrants. Stop falsely linking immigrants with crime. nij.ojp.gov/topics/artic...

How do I even explain to my children what happened today? “All that stuff you’ve been learning about your government, congress and stuff, yeah, one rich guy sent a tweet and now they’re doing something else. But pretend like that didn’t happen on your civics test” Real nice, America. Great job.

The future of democracy & social change is local (short term anyway). Denver just finished 2nd participatory budgeting of $1 mil. Youth, immigrants, citizens, all abilities & bckgrnds creating the projects, ballot process and voting. Imagine transformations like this at scale.

No city’s solved affordability, but coastal media often skips Denver’s locally-led innovations that matter to the people they house. Love this story from local media @denverite.bsky.social & love bad-ass Denver co-housing organizer @sarahjwells.bsky.social denverite.com/2024/12/11/c...

Colorado has a #MountBlueSky. Formerly MtEvans, for Governor responsible for Sand Creek Massacre of hundreds of Native Arapahoe & Cheyenne ppl. Tribal-led renaming was an act of acknowledgment, healing, transformation. Technology can’t deliver these, but I’m here b/c we humans collectively can.
