Progress check time for #Boulder city council.

My term goes through November 2026, putting my cohort somewhere between a little more than halfway done and rounding third base.

During the past 1.5 years this council has enacted at least two dozen measures to meaningfully improve #housing and…

even year local elections - yes! we successfully ran this campaign in Boulder with @chelseacastellano.bsky.social and @lsweeneymiran.bsky.social

just a massive improvement in voter demographics vs off-cycle elections. much more representative

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.

It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

Earlier this week I went to a rally to oppose a bill sponsored by CO DEMOCRATS that would CUT wages for tipped workers

If Boulder City Council supports this bill as is then it will likely pass & wages will be cut. It’s my hope that our Mayor @aaronbrockett12.bsky.social stands with workers (1/3)

#Boulder is closing a chapter on NIMBY entitlement with Council’s unanimous decision to remove occupancy limits in the city’s code.

Congratulations to @ericmbudd.com, @chelseacastellano.bsky.social, and the rest of the @boulderbedrooms.bsky.social team.

I have written a short statement responding to mass firings today of #NOAA / National Weather Service (#NWS) staff (which were concentrated among recent hires as well as highly experienced staff who had recently been promoted). Please see below screenshot & below for full text.

-> @chelseacastellano.bsky.social, @lsweeneymiran.bsky.social and I ran the campaign to move Boulder's elections to even years and we've run enough off-cycle municipal election campaigns to last a lifetime

Pardon the interruption for this PSA. A brilliant human has created a website where you can track the price of eggs, gas, and how many days Trump has spent golfing instead of working for you.

Literally not a single rich family is prevented from living somewhere by municipal land use controls. Not a single mansion is prevented by zoning. It only prevents housing for poorer people. Let’s all stop pretending it’s “neoliberal” or whatever to get rid of this inequitable, exclusionary power

Well in light of recent... "weirdness" from a guy from that OTHER social media platform, let's do a thing 🦋

You follow us, we follow you, and we'll give you a promocode for 2 free tickets to an upcoming DPO concert of your choice 🎫

Reskeet (...is that the word?) this to spread the word 🎶🎻

As Trump prepares to takes office, the uncertainty and dangers are real—but so is hope. I see people stepping up, organizing, and showing up for one another. Less complacency, and more activism. Together, let's continue building a place where everyone belongs. 💙 #HopeInAction #StrongerTogether"

The rainbow met the sea

It’s not hard to grasp that requiring parking sacrifices housing because parking takes up lots of space and its high cost makes homebuilding less feasible.

But wow, this new study shows that parking mandates are much more damaging than I would have guessed.

This is wild. I worked hard to win this State House seat. We knocked on thousands of doors, made thousands of calls,organized on campuses, sent mail,texts, ads, all the things

Losing by 3 votes sucks but my hope is that ppl read this & feel the power of their vote and their ability to affect change
