Como dije sobre su intento de usar el horrendo ataque terrorista contra nuestra comunidad judía como pretexto para acciones autoritarias: «No utilicen el sufrimiento de nuestros residentes como su excusa para desmantelar nuestra democracia».

Hoy miles de nosotros nos reunimos en el centro de Boulder para decir con una sola voz, ¡Estados Unidos no tiene Reyes! La energía de la multitud era fuerte mientras nos oponíamos a los actos ilegales e inmorales de la Administración Trump.

As I said about their attempt to use the horrendous terror attack on our Jewish community as a pretext for authoritarian actions: "Do not use the suffering of our residents as your excuse to dismantle our democracy."

Today thousands of us came together in downtown Boulder to say with one voice, the United States has No Kings! The energy of the crowd was strong as we pushed back against the illegal and immoral acts of the Trump Administration.

Know that the Jewish community has my full support, and the support of the entire Boulder community.

As the mayor of the city of Boulder, I want to be clear that violence and hatred have no place here. Attacks like these seek to strike terror in people's hearts and divide us from one another, but Boulder will stand strong together.

I'm confident that working with our law enforcement partners we will be able to ensure that a full investigation is made and justice will be served.

I'm very grateful to the first responders for their swift arrival on the scene, their medical aid to the victims, and for taking the suspect into custody so quickly.

I am saddened and outraged at the appalling attack on members of Boulder's Jewish community that happened today during a peaceful gathering on Pearl Street. My heart goes out to the victims and their families and all who were impacted by this tragic incident.

Colorado’s top court rejects Big Oil’s arguments | Center for Climate Integrity A major ruling from the Colorado Supreme Court will allow the City and County of Boulder to move forward and ultimately put Exxon on trial for its climate deception.

“This ruling affirms what we’ve known all along: corporations cannot mislead the public and avoid accountability for the damages they have caused,” said City of Boulder Mayor @aaronbrockett12.bsky.social.

Hemos protestado por todas las medidas ilegales, poco éticas y insensatas que está tomando la administración. Es muy inspirador ver a miles de personas reunidas el May Day para apoyar a los trabajadores federales, los sindicatos, los derechos trans y a todos los que están sufriendo en este momento.

We protested today at NIST and NOAA about all the illegal, unethical, and just downright foolish actions the administration is taking. So inspiring to see thousands of people coming together on May Day to support Federal workers, unions, trans rights, and everyone that's suffering right now!

Ayer se hizo realidad un sueño: el Festival de Cine de Sundance anunció que se traslada a Boulder. A partir de 2027, el famoso festival del cine independiente tendrá como telón de fondo los Flatirons, y durante diez días Boulder será el corazón del cine americano. Es un honor increíble.

Huge kudos to the enormous Colorado team that made this possible, including folks from the City of Boulder, CU, Visit Boulder, the Boulder Chamber, the Downtown Boulder Partnership, state government, state legislators, Governor Jared Polis, and many others.

El sábado disfruté de un paseo invernal con los Boulder Ramblers y su intrépida líder Darcy durante la Semana Invernal de la Bicicleta y el Paseo. Fue un paseo encantador, y la nieve recién caída hizo que fuera una experiencia realmente memorable y hermoso. ¡Siempre es un buen día para caminar!

I enjoyed a wintry walk on Saturday with the Boulder Ramblers and their fearless leader Darcy as part of Winter Bike and Walk week! It was a delightful outing despite the cold, and the fresh falling snow made for a truly memorable and beautiful experience. It's always a good day for a walk!
