Today is one of those days that really sucks for wildfire survivors. Sending love to everyone feeling trauma triggered. Check on your loved ones in Thornton, there's a grass fire there right now. Hopefully fire crews get it under control soon but please heed evac warnings.

Lakewood City Council issued a declaration speaking out against ICE activities tonight. Denver City Council voted 13-0 to ban masks worn by law enforcement today. Obviously more work needs to be done but giving kudos when they are to due. Proud Metro Resident tonight.

Yes that was an unfortunate turn of events. Y'all should have been the first to win, not Lakewood. 😞 But we're going to learn from every loss & celebrate every win! Thanks for posting our Make Lakewood Livable Campaign. ✌️

Also what does stronger leadership look like for you? Thanks for sharing your opinions with me, I appreciate it. ☺️

I went to the YIMBY Gubernatorial Debate today and my lord, @philweiser.bsky.social crushed it. Yes, I'm biased but even the Bennet leaning YIMBYs were saying Phil killed it. So Congrats yet again to AG Weiser, the Energizer Bunny of winning!

The Druidry Centered Women's Circle thanks you for your help! Thanks for thinking of our neighbors! After the holidays the bills come due and donations drop off...this is when our neighbors need a little extra help. Grocery prices continue to rise. Unemploymen...

#Colorado #Action #FoodDrive #Fundraiser #FoodBankOfTheRockies
Every year this local Pagan organization holds a small food drive/fundraiser for Food Bank of the Rockies. $1 = 3 meals.
Today is the day.
Can you help?

Congratulations to all of the AG's on their win today concerning tariffs at SCOTUS, especially CO AG @philweiser.bsky.social! THIS is the type of leadership we need as CO Governor and one of the many reasons I'm caucusing for Phil. Thanks AG Weiser! πŸ₯³

Have you signed up to caucus? I signed up for the first time! I'll be going to caucus, then Jeffco Assembly and I'm going to run to be a state delegate to the State Assembly. JeffCo sends the 2nd most delegates, 179, to the State Assembly so hopefully I'll be one of them!

Lakewood City Council voted yes to create an ad hoc community lead police oversight committee that will meet for a year to create a permanent independent oversight committee. The police stood there for 3 hours for no reason & just proved why they need oversight, starting with power dynamics training

40 armed police showed up to Lakewood City Council to intimidate activists asking for an independent oversight committee. Packed house tonight for police reform and zoning referendum vote.

I won an award for advocacy last year. Can I now add "award winning advocate" to my "resume"? (I don't have a resume lol)

Community organizing meetings are back in full swing and I'm here to report that our charitable food systems helpers aren't any less pissed than before the holiday and they're ready to fight back. In Denver we believe food is a human right & deserves funding. Mayor Mike is about to learn who I am.

This theory has been debunked several times. Turns out Capitalism isn't the answer to world peace.

I was taught in freshman political science back in 2001 that we don't go to war with countries that have McDonald's ("Golden Arches Theory of Conflict Prevention).

Venezuela has McDonald's.

Also doesn't Piggy have a lifetime contact with McDonald's?

Looks like capitalism fails again.

The Struggle of Living on SNAP as Trump Attacks Food Assistance SNAP recipients struggle to make ends meet as Donald Trump and Republicans slash the crucial federal food assistance program.

I was interviewed for a Rolling Stone article last month about SNAP. Megan does a great job of summarizing my story of how I became homeless during COVID and why I'm struggling to get out of poverty (expensive meds/health insurance).

He is not, but he wants you to think that he is. These people only give you the info, impressions, emotions, etc that they want you to have. There is zero genuineness in these people, especially him.

A large box of chocolates with a thank you note.

SNAP nightmare is over, the trauma from it remains with helpers & the families affected. Please don't stop donating $, food & time to your local pantries, hunger is still at an all time high. We received this today when we picked up the pantry order. I wish I could share it with all of the helpers.

Donating food is a good deed, I have no issue with doing what you can for your neighbors in need. But Polis could tap his boy Anshultz, worth $19 million. Instead he says to the poors you better share with each other because the oligarchs don't care about you.

Polis' net worth is $300 million+ & he's asking us to drop off food to a mansion owned by the state. He may be unaware that his newsletter goes out to everyone, even SNAP recipients on his mailing list. He is unable to read a room because he's not in the room with us. He is completely out of touch.

That's so funny because the bill he voted yes on had unregulated hemp products amendment AND $500K to each Senator who had their phone taken as evidence after J6. So he's a fucking liar and our news media can't ask a followup fact checking question to save their lives.

β€œI liken it to extending a lease,” Crank said. β€œIf you’re at the end of your lease and you still haven’t moved out, but your landlord says, β€˜Well, I wouldn’t mind getting another month of rent,’ you extend the lease for a month. You don’t try and add things into the existing lease.”--Rep. Jeff Crank
