I didn’t even bother to watch it or the media around it. I just want to a couple events last night and talked to voters

Hi Adam, I do not believe we will be livestreaming it due to our in-person nature.

We will attempt to record, and if we are able, will post to YouTube in the future.

We called it! Blanco was just made in a lab for the kind of nominee Polis likes. She'll make a great justice.

Maybe this is just because I am gen z and cell phones were pervasive by the time I hit middle school, but this seems fine?

Smart glasses seem like they dont really meaningfully reduce people's engagement with the world (like phones) and the accessibility and translation services seem on net good.

What makes this harder yet is the discovery that many people are also not that accurate... the disruption the legal industry has been mostly to low level attorneys and legal staff (like me) not the high rollers.

Like all tech this has made the mid range more accessible, we will have to square that

Graphic announcing an endorsement. Large text reads “Democratic Municipal Officials Endorsed” with a checkmark icon over the word “Endorsed.” Center photo shows Michael Farrington standing outdoors in front of yellow autumn trees and a forested hillside. A blue name bar reads “Michael Farrington,” with smaller text below: “Regional Transportation District K | Commerce City, CO.” The DMO (Democratic Municipal Officials) logo appears at the bottom.

I am excited to announce the endorsement of the Democratic Municipal Officials in my race for RTD District K!

As the only democrat running for this seat, I look forward to delivering meaningful change on the RTD board when we flip this seat blue this November!

Proud to have the support of dozens of elected officials from across the front range from local leadership to statewide elected officials!

We’ve tried the GOP leaders: we have an unfinished train, less service, and a budget crisis.

Let's build an RTD that works for everyone with someone new.

It is nice having loved ones who dont want to talk law!

My guess aligns. Blanco is the kind of person Gov likes, Zenisek shares many beliefs and has lots of good connections. Wang seems like a bit of a surprise finalist to me

House Bill 1001 passed committee 🎉 🎉 🎉 Thank you to the organizations who showed up to testify in support of the HOME Act yesterday. This bill will create more opportunities to fill the gap of 100,000 homes needed in Colorado.

That feels weird, like of all the cases that QI makes sense, it feels like "tasing a guy attempting to escape" would be fairly reasonable? Feels like a weird case to not draw some kind of line.

I remember when the Grand Old Party was anti-interventionism... those were the days. Can't believe they got me missing the Tea Party.

Denver RTD moves Transit Police Public Safety dispatchers back into original Security Command Center The return enables the team to address first-responder communications from across the district from a single Denver RTD operating site.

This isn't the kind of thing that gets flashy headlines but it's an important part of making the agency actually work better:

h/t to Michelle Lawrence for leading this important streamlining!

I’m proud to announce that @yimbydenver.bsky.social has endorsed my campaign for RTD!

I’m especially excited to move from “yelling at elected officials to allow housing” to running to put RTD’s land to work addressing the housing crisis.

Thank you helping make RTD work for everyone.

This comes off way meaner than I mean for it to be, I am genuinely thrilled a demsoc is not just running but viable for state senate in Colorado, I just wish DSA was actually part of that coalition instead of being intentionally sidelined

There is a very real reason none of the statewides have cozied up to DSA at all—it’s simply not worth it and DSA doesn’t have any substance wins recently.

I really want to see the left more effective here but the solution can’t be more Carson’s in CC10… you guys have to organize a win imo

I think you know as well as I do that Kyle Clark will be seen by tens of thousands, and the quote by even more but the notes app apology was written for like 8 of y’all in your slack.

DDSA needs to actually win shit again for candidates to play nice.
