I am running for Colorado House District 6 because we need a Green New Deal, not wars with oil rich countries. Iris4colorado.org

Made the ballot this weekend for House District 6 through Caucus and Assembly! Thank you so much to everyone who stuck it out through a very long day to support me and help me get way over the threshold to reach the primaries ❤️. Onwards we go 💪.

Pleased to announce the support of these powerful advocates for working people and our communities, who fight every day for us at the state Capitol like I intend to - Representatives Meg M. Froelich and Lorena Garcia.

"Medicare for All" Coloradans. One more reason I am running for office in House District 6. www.iris4colorado.org.

And yet, somehow still, health and food assistance for working class and poor folks is the downfall and bane of the country...

Proud to be endorsed by such a progressive, ground-breaking, and inspiring community champion, Representative Brianna Titone. Together we can do this.

Honored to have the endorsement of City Council Member At-Large Sarah Parady, a tireless and fearless fighter for justice, equity, and our Denver community.

Sometimes, you just have to stand your ground when you are right, period...

Democrats of House District 6 (Uptown, Capitol Hill, Cheeseman Park, Congress Park, Hale, Montclair, and Lowry) - if you want an actual choice in the June primaries, I need your help making the ballot through caucusing this Tuesday, March 3rd! Sign up and learn more at iris4colorado.org.

So proud to have the endorsement of David Seligman, @seligmanforag.bsky.social, the leading candidate for Attorney General and a lifelong fighter for working people everywhere against corporate abuses and injustices.

House District 6 should be leading the fight for affordable housing across the state of Colorado, not posing an obstacle to it. That's why we need a change in elected leadership. I am running for HD6 to fix the affordable housing crisis, not entrench it.

Halpern for the House! Launching a campaign. Building a movement. Hope you can join!

You need to know about the SAVE Act, which recently passed in the House. So here's a crash course from reporter Ari Berman on how the sweeping voter restriction bill could disenfranchise millions of Americans

Trump just stripped the EPA of its power to regulate greenhouse gases. Colorado and HD6 are going to have to lead in environmental protection. That won't happen when elected officials are funded by oil and gas. Unlike my opponent I refuse to accept PAC money or support from the fossil fuel industry.

Proud to be endorsed by the @workingfamiliesco.bsky.social in my race for Colorado House District 6. This campaign is about centering people power and not corporate power at the State House. Together we can do this. iris4colorado.org.

Canada will do something; America never does. Our hearts are with you BC. The mass shooting deaths in schools in our country dwarfs yours. We wish our government would care about children too.

Score: Bad Bunny = 1 / Trump = 0.

Endorsed by one of my favorite clients, Brooky Parks! I am running for HD6 to protect our rights in the State House just like I have in courts across the country. If you care about librararies, freedom to read, and the rights of our LGBTQ+ and BIPOC neighbors, pitch in. share.google/rOuXyaUijLRd...

Testified in front of the Senate Judiciary today in support of SB26-005, which aims to create a private right of action for damages against federal immigration agents who violate Coloradans' constitutional rights. Now, agents get off scot free, and we are witnessing a breakdown in rule of law.

I launched my campaign for HD6 to bring progressive politics back to downtown Denver and to get rid of the corrupting influence of dark money on our politics. My opponent is being supported by a PAC funded by big corporations, oil and gas, and Republican donors. Help me fight back.

Giving the keynote speech this morning to an auditorium full of high schoolers for the Youth Celebrate Diversity Annual Conference was an inspiring experience. My speech was about how ordinary people do extraordinary things to fight for justice. These youth are our future and we are in good hands.

Summer is paying the ultimate career price to protect the rights of her community. And we will be beside her every step of the way fighting for justice and to protect the civil and constitutional rights of Oklahoma students. I could not be more moved by the bravery of my client. Read her story:

I am running for office in Colorado House District 6 because we need to protect our immigrant neighbors, fight discrimination, and halt the steady erosion of our constitutional rights. Americans are saying no to a violent, authoritarian police state. Abolish ICE.

This is what the dark, horrifying descent into fascism looks like. Abolish Ice.

Started my latest book last night. Read "Globalization and Its Discontents" by Stiglitz about a decade ago, and highly recommend it.

If we do not have a chance to learn from our history, we are doomed to repeat it...

Today would have marked the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Tie up your laces, we have a lot of work to do and the courts aren't going to save us...

Minnesota we are with you ✊️.

Proud to be recognized by 5280 Magazine again this year for my efforts to fight for workers' rights across the state.

I'm running for Colorado House District 6 because the struggle for civil rights continues, and it's now more important than ever to have a candidate with a track record of fighting for them - hard. Iris4colorado.org

At the annual MLK Marade. Reminder that not only is the struggle for equality ongoing, but that we must recommit with passion because all around us our rights are being dismantled by a fascist president who just this month said passage of the Civil Rights Act was bad. We need fighters.

Raised over $20,000 in 24 hours. Thank you to everyone who donated! Please help keep the momentum going. Donate through Actblue or iris4colorado.org.

Today, I am announcing my candidacy for Colorado HD6. Backroom deals. Dark money. Luxury retreats in Vail. That’s how nothing ever changes. I am running to break the cycle and put everyday people back in charge.

Closed the X account. It was time. Elon Musk sucks.

Why do I read my phone at night? Makes me a want to throw up before bedtime...

Finally did it. Shut down the X account. Good riddance.

Well, this is an interesting, euphamistic way of calling Kristi Noem a liar. I would have stuck with plain English myself...

Another oil war in the name of democracy (sigh). Because that last one in Iraq went oh so well...

With the next United States Senadora from Colorado Senator Julie Gonzales ❤️!

Denver council rejects city contract with Key Lime Air over role in ICE detainee flights trib.al/n3rFmGX

I worked with Faith on POWR for years and got to know her well. Fighter for women. Terrible loss. Rest in peace Faith. You will be missed 💔.

It was a true privilege to be part of this panel just now with intellectual freedom and first amendment fighters Michelle White, Becky Calzada, Carolyn Foote after a powerful showing of The Librarians Film at the Sie FilmCenter. Ban book bans.

Oh goodie - Monday. Time to dust off the wrecking ball and start ruining my workplace for the week. Ladies, any other ideas about what we should ruin? I've got a couple ideas...

Weak AF dems. And everyone knows what I am talking about. It's like Negotiating 101. Know your opposition's likely tactics and be prepared. And don't take a position you won't defend, because you lose bargaining power and credibility down the line. I swear you are trying to lose the 2026 election.

This time, the culprit is the former Oklahoma Superintendant and State Education Board. They stripped our client, Summer Boismier, of her teaching license for sharing a QR code for the Brooklyn Libraries. But Summer is a civil rights and 1st Amendment fighter, and I am honored to be by her side.

October 21st, I had my first arguments before the Colorado Supreme Court. My client, Mary Moreno, was fired by Circle K for pushing an armed burgler away. Circle K argued that at-will employment is so strong companies are entitled to fire employees even if they acted in self-defense. We disagreed.

Blucifer says support your tsa workers and air traffick control employees by negotiating to extend healthcare subsidies oh Trump and his senate pals. And Blucifer does not f*ck around.

Of course he is...

Nothing says more about how greed has corrupted our economic policies and politics than a Musk trillionare. Shows the utter failure of our officials, and the Supreme Court with Citizens United, McCutcheon. Meanwhile, 42 million Americans face hunger bc Reps want to jack up healthcare premiums.

This administration "allegedly" can't find any money during the governmeng shut-down to help feed millions of American kids, but somehow can find plenty of money to have ICE agents chase kids down, incarcerate, and deport them. Colorado, don't let's not have a repeat of Nov. 5 of last year-go vote.
