It's been 1 year since my father passed. I originally shared these thoughts back on the old site, but thought I'd share it here today with many new faces on this much kinder app
My father passed away on Nov 24, 2023. His life epitomized the American Dream—a dream that often seems elusive today. 🧵

It’s unreal being a Denver sports fan right now.
Legit contenders for the Super Bowl, Stanley Cup, and NBA title in the SAME year. Jokic and MacKinnon are both #1 on the MVP ladder...
Something special is happening in the Mile High City!

It’s RAINING on Christmas Day in Vail, Aspen, & Steamboat!
If only scientists warned us 30 yrs ago. If only we could’ve done something!
Anyway, time for another billion tax break for “clean coal" courtesy of Hickenlooper and Bennet's friend Chris Wright, Trump's Energy Secretary

REAL post from Trump’s Dept of Energy while Colorado has record December heat and fire danger.
Reminder: Hickenlooper and Bennet didn’t just confirm Trump’s Energy Secretary, they PRAISED him. They chose oil, gas, and coal over Colorado’s climate and future. Voters should remember that.

There's no point of having a "large" government if it fails to deliver for the working class. We need an effective government first and foremost.

I had the privilege of clerking for Justice Melissa Hart on the Colorado Supreme Court. An incredible jurist, mentor, boss, and all-around badass. Her retirement leaves HUGE shoes to fill. I hope Polis and the appointment committee choose someone worthy of her legacy.

Michael Bennett and John Hickenlooper voted for this guy who is now threatening Colorado over the random issue of wolves.
Once again, Bennet and Hickenlooper put Trump's Cabinet and the DC lobby above Coloradans. They must be voted out.
Phil Weiser and Julie Gonzales must win

seems like voters in that district may want a Republican, in which case she’s a solid pick.

Shannon Bird had the most missed votes of any House Democrat and then resigned her seat to run full-time for Congress. She did this while having the worst record in the House for working class Coloradans.
If voters can't see through that, then idk what to tell them.

Reminder for all the Colorado Democrats in CO-8:
Shannon Bird was one of few Dems who voted NO on House BIll 23-1100 which restricted Colorado's involvement with private immigration detention facilities b/c Bird was bought off by the private-prison lobby.
The more you know!

Colorado U.S. Senators John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet VOTED FOR THIS when they confirmed Trump's Cabinet Transportation Secretary.
Hickenlooper cut $109M of grants for Colorado.
Bennet cut $109M of grants for Colorado.
We MUST vote these out in 2026.

Nothing says “I support the Democratic Latino Initiative” like running against a fluent Spanish-speaking child of Latino immigrants in Colorado’s most Hispanic district, who’s endorsed by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
Shannon Bird is the embodiment of white-supremacist politics.

People should be a lot less snarky about “LOL Trump can’t pardon Tina Peters" b/c the only thing stopping Trump is Amy Coney Barrett or Brett Kavanaugh choosing to disagree
Our whole system runs on norms. We're going to need actual organizing & a strike plan to stand up to Trump eventually

Phil Weiser: directly taking on Citizens United to get money out of politics.
Michael Bennet: Bankrolled by billionaires, Davita, private schools, AI hedge funds, has never taken a shot against money in politics.
The choice for Governor could not be more clear!

Colorado Democratic Primary in a nutshell:
Phil Weiser: sued Trump 45 times and won most of them.
Michael Bennet: voted for Trump’s cabinet 8x more than other blue-state Senators.
Pretty straightforward choice for Colorado Democrats.

Hickenlooper is the poster child for everything that's wrong with the Democratic Party: too old, too cautious, too corporate, too timid, too conciliatory, too willing to compromise with actual literal fascists.
