Colorado is one of four states that has never elected a woman to be our Governor or US Senator, but it doesn’t have to be. Let’s make some history.

Five years ago today, a gunman armed with a semiautomatic pistol opened fire at a King Soopers grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, killing ten people. People should be able to go about their daily lives without worrying about the threat of gun violence. Today & every day, we honor them with action.

The new Peaks to Plains Trail segment in Clear Creek Canyon is lit. 3+ miles of trail up the canyon now. Multimodal infrastructure is beautiful when we invest in it.

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

Climate change sure is fun.

As we face another record heat wave, its important to remember that this is a choice. We can make a difference & mitigate climate change. Transportation is our top source of climate emissions & leaders should prioritize investment in climate friendly options like transit, biking, & walking.

Transportation from using fossil fuels is the largest source of climate emissions. As we face record breaking temperatures in the western US this weekend remember that we do have a choice. And our public officials have a choice to invest in sustainable transportation infrastructure and services.

Modal Filters: Simple installations that stop cars from using neighborhood streets as cut-throughs, while leaving the route open for cycling. This makes the bike route more convenient than the car route and is how you induce demand.

Now that's a neighborhood bikeway.

Save the date. Join our friends from @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social in Denver on April 4th!

A 14-year-old Denver girl is missing after she was last seen near Ruby Hill Park in early March, police officials said.

A Democratic socialist candidate crushed U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette in a preliminary intraparty vote at last weekend’s Denver County assembly — with Melat Kiros outorganizing a veteran lawmaker who’s been in office longer than Kiros has been alive.

Momentum is building. ❤️✊🏽 Here are the current preliminary caucus results in the Colorado Democratic U.S. Senate race. Grassroots organizing across Colorado is showing what’s possible when people come together for a campaign powered by working people. Stay tuned as results continue to come in.

I listened to this today and it was fascinating. An interesting finding was that people who use alternative transportation for as little 5% of trips may be more likely to show an interest in car-free living. Even small changes to infrastructure or transit accessibility can have an impact.

Advocates in Denver staged a die in today to remember and honor the 93 traffic violence victims from last year

Posting this here as well because it’s important. When leaders choose war, chaos, or cruelty, ordinary people are the ones who pay the price.

Americans drive a lot more than people in other rich countries. If we didn’t drive so much, we wouldn’t die in so many crashes. It’s a simple point, but one that NHTSA, traffic engineers, and many road safety org’s have yet to learn. Me, in Bloomberg 🧵

This is beyond problematic. www.denverpost.com/2026/03/04/b...

Yet another tragedy to remind us that our roads MUST be made safer for pedestrians and bicyclists. The deaths of Andreia & Gerry Goldberg were preventable. Their memories live on as a blessing and a call to a public health mindset on this issue. www.denverpost.com/2026/03/04/b...

Was great to see @chelaforcolorado.bsky.social at Caucasus tonight. Running for State Senate District 34.

In January, we went inside the Dilley detention center. Children shared letters describing the anguish of being ripped from their lives: propub.li/4cUHm8L After publishing that story, we learned about Edison, a 13-year-old from Chicago detained for 2+ months. Listen to Edison in his own words 👇

Me: ok, I need to pick the hair color for my Duolingo avatar to look like mine. I’ll do brown. 7 year old daughter: Actually Dad you should pick gray. It’s closer to that. Life comes at you fast.

This is the second time in my lifetime our country has gone to war in the Middle East over the guise of an imminent threat of weapons of mass destruction in my lifetime. The last time we did this in Iraq ~150,000 - 200,000 civilians died in the conflict. War is a horrible thing.

The welcome sign at DIA was billed as a technologically groundbreaking LED display with almost 1,000 brightly colored rods — a piece of art befitting one of the busiest airports in the world. Instead, a decade after it was first proposed, the sign has been nothing but problems for the airport.

Today in History: February 26, Trayvon Martin shot to death

A great analysis by @nosquish.bsky.social on how Mayor Johnston was gaslighting on @citycastdenver.bsky.social today youtu.be/HDNpRd2U6VU?...

Gun violence takes nearly 130 lives and wounds over 200 more every day. But instead of strengthening our nation’s gun laws, Trump has done everything in his power to dismantle them, putting even more lives at risk. Ahead of tonight’s #SOTU, learn more about Trump’s abysmal record on gun violence:

Only 8% of NHL players are registered Democrats. This is not a surprise.

The Trump administration wants national parks and historic sites to tell a positive story about America. These small-town high school students are helping protect the memory of Japanese American incarceration. www.chalkbeat.org/2026/02/19/s...

2025 was a record year for crashes in Denver. 93 people were killed. 48 of them were walking, biking, on scooters, or in wheelchairs when they were killed. www.denvernorthstar.com/news/article...

To quote Al Pacino… “The Wall Street Journal, here: not exactly a bastion of anti-capitalist sentiment”

It was exciting to hear @senadorajulie.bsky.social speak tonight about a progressive vision for Colorado as she runs for US Senate against Hickenlooper. It’s time for change.

You approved this guy to run the EPA, in fact, you introduced him as a personal friend.

ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings. www.sacurrent.com/news/san-ant...

Climate change is coming for ski resorts. Seeing a 50 day ski season for Steamboat by 2050 is wild. www.denverpost.com/2026/02/15/c...

After picking up a carryout dinner tonight, hit 10,000 miles on our @ternbicycles.com GSD cargo bike. This was possible for our family due to the 5 new bikeways that were built in our neighborhood in the last 5 years so we have safe and comfortable ways to get around via bike.

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica. They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

This is a good read about the idea of "Kids Streets" in #Birmingham & #Coventry. It's one thing to make the journey to school safer, but if we want our children to be able to travel independently and safely to sports clubs, friends' houses & more, we need to think bigger. #SchoolStreets #RoadDanger

Donald Trump’s DOJ just tried—and failed—to indict me in front of a grand jury. We will continue to fight back against their rising tyranny. Don’t Give Up the Ship.

if the Colorado snowpack numbers from SNOTEL stations (52% of median) aren't low enough for you, they get even worse when looking at data across all elevations. Using the University of Arizona's SWE dataset, we're now below one-third of the usual snowpack (32.5%) as of February 9. #cowx

At today’s Denver DOTI Advisory Board meeting we are talking about shared scooters and bikes in Denver and getting an update from the Executive Director on 2026 plans. Meeting starts at 4pm on zoom. denvergov-org.zoom.us/j/8674928233...
