I’m a Trans American—and I’ve Got Your Back if You’ve Got Mine The “they/them agenda” is being used to sow working class division, but the fight for America’s future requires us to stand together with every stripe and creed of working people, indivisible.

The fact that this thing I wrote happened to come out in @convergencemag.com on a day SCOTUS is trying to erase us feels right on.

Trans people are not the enemy.

The people picking all of our pockets are.

Proud to be one of several organizers of this statement. We must always fight like hell against those who try to use communities in pain as political pawns in a quest for power -- especially when there is an attempt to set them against one another.

SEIU California says president was detained, injured at ICE raid in Los Angeles California's Service Employees International Union said its president was injured and detained on Friday at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid in Los Angeles.

They've come for immigrants.
They've come for trans folks.
Now they're coming for union leaders.

As someone who is two out of three, if you love me, don't look away. And, for the love of god, speak up. Silence is complicity.

Also, calling a teacher and union leader "out of touch" is a hell of a CHOICE, particularly from a party currently trying to throw people off Medicaid & SNAP just to make the ultra-wealthy even richer. I'll take my union siblings over your country club buddies on "any day that ends in Y", thanks.

Today, I filed to become a candidate for Congress because the politicians in charge in Washington are only looking out for the wealthy and well connected. Our system is broken and I'm running to help fix it.

The violent attack against peaceful Jewish demonstrators in Boulder is horrifying, and comes less than 2 weeks after the murders of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim in DC. It compounds the pain and fear many are feeling.

There is no room for antisemitism, bigotry, and hate anywhere.

CO-8 Congressman Gabe Evans is holding a news conference on the steps of the Colorado State Capitol.

Hard to hear as protestors have gone from “Do your job” to “Gabe you suck.”

Still waiting to ask questions to Evans. Hope to be able to shortly.

Uhhhhhhhhhh this hot take didn't age well.

Screenshot of part of a Denver Post article that reads: That may be the first of multiple labor-backed ballot measures in 2026. Labor officials are eying the potential: Not only is 2026 a midterm year during a Republican presidency, but April data released by the bipartisan Colorado Polling Institute found that labor unions had the highest total favorability ratings of any person or group in the state included in the survey — including Polis, who placed second.

I don't know who in #copolitics or #coleg needs to hear this, but I'm just gonna leave it here.

Headline: Gov. Polis vetoes Colorado bill that would have eased union formation

Image of text that reads: “This veto from Governor Polis is a betrayal of working people in Colorado, but also one we are not surprised about,” Wynn Howell, Colorado Working Families Party state director, said in a statement after the veto. “Given that he is one of the wealthiest men in Colorado, it is no shock that he is woefully out of touch with public opinion on this question.”

Image of text that reads: Howell called on Attorney General Phil Weiser and U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, two Democrats in the race for Colorado governor next year, to weigh in on whether they would have signed the bill. “Will Senator Bennet or AG Weiser stand with workers? Or will they just be more of the same stale and out of touch anti-worker politics in Colorado? Neither one has said publicly whether they would sign the Worker Protection Act, and at this point their silence is deafening. We urge them to answer that question clearly and unambiguously,” they wrote.

I said what I said. And I'll say it again. 📢

While this is a welcome shift, Rep. Shannon Bird still hasn’t taken responsibility or shown any regret for her NO vote.

That’s why Working Families Power is now focusing its primary accountability efforts on Rep. Bird.

Only two democrats in the state capitol voted against the bill to protect our immigrant neighbors from Trump’s abuses. Sen Kyle Mullica: 303-866-4451 Rep. Shannon Bird: 303-866-2843 Give them a call today & tell them to stand up to Trump, not vote with MAGA republicans.

Rep. Bird & Sen. Mullica were the ONLY Democratic state legislators to vote against the bill to protect our immigrant neighbors from Trump's abuses (SB276).

People behind bars work, too, but often they're denied basic rights • Colorado Newsline In Colorado, people in prison can be denied family visitation if they do not participate in a prison work program. This practice is cruel.

“May Day reminds us that the dignity of labor must be fiercely protected — and that includes the dignity of those whose rights are denied and whose voices are often silenced.” #coleg #copolitics

The House shouldn't take up this veto override, period.

🚨NEW: Americans are fed up with the status quo. Our latest survey shows 74% believe the economic and political systems need major changes — and of those, 12% say the entire system should be torn down completely.

The message is clear: business as usual isn’t cutting it.

In the world of "politics are weird sometimes"... But also, he's just plain right on this one. #copolitics #coleg
