I am devastated by yesterday's horrific act of violence against peaceful demonstrators in nearby Boulder, CO. In a month that is supposed to center joy in our diversity, such targeted harm stings especially hard. (1/4)

Cool cool cool @moderation.bsky.app. This is wild.

NOT. ONE. This is a crime under international law. Full stop. Charges should be brought before The Hague. (And yes I know we’re not members of the ICC. I want indictments to drop there ANYWAY.)

TOMORROW: Educators, students, families, and community members from across Colorado will rally at the State Capitol to demand No More Education Cuts and call for the fully funded public schools our students deserve. Join us at 11:30am! Details & RSVP here: www.mobilize.us/coloradoea/e...

Btw chances are, you can watch your own city's council meetings on YouTube. I highly suggest you try and watch them. They're not entertaining, but they are informative.

The question for me is this: Is the Colorado Democratic Party going to be one that builds a truly inclusive and opportunity-driven economy, or will it be one that tethers itself to an economy that is bought by ever-consolidating corporate power and appeases our national rightward shift.

I’m gonna be so real with y’all, seeing the ADL and Hillel applaud the Trump administration for defunding schools because of students’ response to a live streamed genocide is beyond messed up and folks should be saying it plainly.

Investment funds that stem from a Silicon Valley culture of “break things and move fast” should never be allowed near essential needs (like childcare). It’s that simple.

And now the Trump Justice Department is reviewing the Tina Peters' conviction. Don't forget the prosecutor in the Peters cas was a Republican www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/u...

This was…astounding. To not know the status quo basics of the state and municipal law you’re tinkering with is such an affront to us local elected officials who have spent years grappling with this.

A classic example of how Google's AI is garbage, it doesn't understand that the Underground Railroad wasn't a literal railroad

The most notable thing about this clip from the president's address to the governors is the way Maine Gov. Janet Mills stood up to Trump. And the second most notable thing is the absolute stone-faced silence from the other governors in the room. www.c-span.org/clip/white-h...

Joe Cardiello said his small but vital team was taken apart without so much as a word to his supervisors.

Lindsey and I have talked 1:1 on this. I will never platform an abuser. New York: There are millions of y’all, can we find a non-problematic woman to be your Mayor? Because the men we’re choosing lately just ain’t it.

Denver City Council deleted its X account, citing concerns about Elon Musk's conflicts of interest in the Trump administration and bias on the site. The Denver Police Department and Mayor Mike Johnston are still here. denverite.com/2025/02/21/w...

Wake up babe the City of Edgewater's annual report just dropped envisionedgewaterco.com/annual-repor...

Stacy's mom's medicare is gone

Is there anything as charming as a child who falls asleep reading, the book on their face?

On every appreciate-the-wife holiday cis hetero dads are like “this woman is AMAZING, I don’t know how she gets everything done for our family” and…exactly 🙃💘

I asked my city attorney to help me figure out how to ethically pay for a $20 parking fee for a @localprogress.bsky.social meeting. I have to believe that enough of us are around to hold on to something that will survive.

HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii Supreme Court rules against insurance companies in Maui wildfire, allowing $4B settlement to move forward.

A swastika t-shirt is the only item on the Yeezy website. Powered by Shopify. It's not the first time Shopify has powered stores selling items with Swastikas. I've reached out to them about this before, and they kept powering the stores. The only thing they changed, eventually, was their rules.

Everyone has a lot to say but I'm just going to say that Kendrick owed us nothing and still gave us humanity's best. Y'all wonder why baby Hannah grappled between studying art history and politics; it's this.

Not my friend literally saving a life by doing the heimlich maneuver on a choking customer at his shitty fast food job and not even getting a lil bonus or a day off to recover from the emotions.

How do I stop the tired anti-maga memes here. I truly don’t care to see them.

My friend who is a Council Member in a major city in Canada said the upcoming national election this year, which could occur as soon as May, will likely go conservative.

Serious question. Is Walter Isaacson doing ok with that puff piece of a too-many-pages bio he wrote on this man? @karaswisher.bsky.social meanwhile was saying what all tech and other media should have been saying. She saw it.

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity." He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

I spent 30 min last night in the snarky, fratty, smart corners of M@GA Twitter and...I get it. I get why relatively young, free-market crypto-curious bros and bro-adjacent women are all in. What we picture as the base is so far off from its totality. More later when I have time.

Reminder to CD7 that we can def reach out to our Congresswoman and critique her, but she stopped traveling to DC a couple weeks ago (before the sh*tstorm), her due date is approaching, she is not allowed to vote by proxy, and she will not be blocking DOGE from entering the Treasury from Lakewood.

Alright. I know y'all followed me b/c I'm on a few Colorado Politics starter packs (or we actually know one another), but I will no longer be silent on the other content that speaks to me because I apparently need to train my algo a bit better. Exhibit A (my 4 year old prob drafted this post):

Beyoncé and Taylor on stage and Kanye in the parking lot

"This category was introduced in 1989. And two women have won...THREE WOMEN HAVE WON." We're not crying, you're crying at Doechii's Best Rap Album #Grammy win

This is how my mom heats her house. Also, unrelated, why is nobody talking about the Grammys here (or am I in the wrong corner).

This is the biggest danger of Trump's EOs. They are not law, and yet Denver Health is complying in advance, ending all trans surgeries under 19 years of age, including chest masculinization - a rare, but much needed surgery for some trans teens. www.9news.com/article/news...

The Democratic Party spent the bulk of a campaign and every moment of the past 10 days saying “Trump is bad” and it’s like…we 100% know. Also a ton of us are in not-federal office and many of us are doing good things. I don’t know if this party could build a magna tile cube at this point.

🚨NEW: While in office, Kyrsten Sinema pushed bills to limit oversight on cryptocurrencies and took thousands of dollars in campaign cash from the very crypto exchange platform she’s now advising.

If y’all haven’t watched Beyoncé Bowl since last Monday do it. Absolutely healing.

On the city council on which I serve an ordinance to change all city code language to gender neutral just passed first reading, so that’s a step I’m taking: unsexy, measured action and example setting.

Deadnaming trans people we don’t like or even suggesting that we do so is not, in fact, what we’re going to be doing. Ever.

This is another great example of the cost of *not* implementing mitigations against car traffic. By allowing cars to roam freely in cities, you are signing up for human and many other costs every day of the year. It is urgent to limit the destruction cars cause.
