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. 🧵
Throwback to August 2023 when I predicted the Douglas County Blue shift because Republicans were running on an agenda to defund schools.

Chuck Schumer and folks who supported him like Hickenlooper must be ousted.

We've had enough with corporate donor backed Democrats. It's time to elect a Senator from Colorado who will actually fight for the working class.
November 10, 2025 at 9:13 PM
Colorado Democrats have a choice.

If you like DC dysfunction and 16 years of corporate donors calling the shots, vote Bennet.

If you want someone who fights for Colorado’s workers, not billionaires, vote Phil Weiser.

It’s that simple.
November 10, 2025 at 4:26 AM
The only reason Bennet & Hickenlooper didn’t bend the knee to Trump to reopen his corrupt government with zero wins for the public is b/c they’re scared of left primary challengers

That’s why every establishment Democrat needs a real, hard primary in 2026. Keep the pressure on

Keep the SWAMP out of Colorado. We must reject DC's dysfunction and keep Michael Bennet and his billionaire backers out of Colorado's Governor's seat.
November 10, 2025 at 12:42 AM
Phil Weiser has done more for working-class Coloradans in a day than Michael Bennet has in 16 years in the Senate.

This primary should be an easy win for Phil if not for Bennet’s Billionaire backers like Bloomberg and the AI Venture Firms trying to buy the gov's mansion

The biggest winners from this Democratic corruption scandal should be the Colorado GOP but they’re dead silent.

Why? Because the same dark-money donors bankrolling One Main Street and the Opportunity Caucus also fund Republicans. Everyone’s bought. #copolitics
November 6, 2025 at 11:42 PM
Folks in my DMs that some Caucus members are about to flip on other members over these so-called “gifts” (aka bribes).

This is about to turn into a Veep x Parks & Rec level meltdown. Expect hearings, resignations, & primary flips. I've never seen such blatant corruption!

What a night. I forgot what hope felt like.

This American experiment isn’t over yet. We can still build the future they told us was impossible.

Colorado WILL join California's Prop 50 efforts in Nov 2026

We won't be able to redraw them next year, but we will for 2028. There's already a small crew working on this. Let's get organized and get the signatures to get this done.

It's time to fight and take our country back.

Quick Analysis on how tonight affects the Colorado Democratic June 2026 Primary:

Teacher & Pro-Union folks just won BIG in Denver & Colorado. Denver, Woodland Park, Durango, Grand Junction, Cherry Creek, Aurora, Adams 14.

BAD NEWS for Michael Bennet. Good news for Phil Weiser

COLORADO UPDATE:
Prop LL & Prop MM - PASS
November 5, 2025 at 2:11 AM
DENVER UPDATE:
Vibrant Denver Bond 2A-2E All Pass
2F Pass
2G Pass (sad)
310 Pass (very sad)

General note on Colorado elections:

Clerks count the early-vote first so the 7pm drop skews older & more conservative. The shift from to last drop can be up to 15-20%

So if the first drop is within 10-15%, results may change. More than 15%, you can call it right away IMO
November 5, 2025 at 1:58 AM
It's election day in Denver and elsewhere!

My two strongest feelings:
VOTE NO on 310 and 2G!

Let's beat out of state Bloomberg money!

How it feels:
X: chaos, memes, trolls, & unhinged brilliance. Radical politics, both directions.

Threads: pop culture meets safe politics. Fun, easy, normie-friendly.

BlueSky: vibes of a group project on HR policy. Low engagement, high moralizing. The internet’s timeout corner

This has been hands down the most beautiful Autumn I've seen in Colorado in a long time. Absolutely amazing, no notes.
October 31, 2025 at 5:17 PM
There’s something wild about elite liberals being more outraged by the White House getting renovated than by masked officers detaining people without warrants or Republicans gerrymandering democracy out of existence.

Priorities completely upside down.
October 25, 2025 at 5:00 PM
AAANNNDDD it's decided!

Phil Weiser MUST win the Governor race in Colorado in order to help rebalance the House nationwide. Colorado must join California in the Redistricting battle to fight Trump & Republicans power grab

Bennet will let Trump redraw the House. Phil will fight
#copolitics
NEW: Colorado AG and gubernatorial candidate Phil Weiser (D) tells 9NEWS he supports Colorado redrawing House maps to create new Dem seats to offset Republican redistricting in red states. Weiser is the most prominent Colo. Democrat to sign on to the effort. #copolitics

Anyone taking out-of-state billionaire money should be disqualified on sight.

It’s disgusting. It’s corruption. Keep your billionaire cash out of Colorado.

And shame on Michael Bennet for cozying up to Bloomberg’s money to try and buy the Governor’s seat.

REMINDER: When the UN Geneva account begged Israel not to bomb babies, schools, or hospitals, Shannon Bird replied “IF ONLY” implying it was alright b/c Hamas did it

That’s not a slip. That’s her saying Israel was right to bomb children

Absolutely vile. She must be defeated.
October 19, 2025 at 10:33 PM
Ask yourself: why are Billionaires trying to buy the Governor’s seat?

Michael Bennet’s dark money PACs have $2+ MILLION from:
-Billionaire Michael Bloomberg
-DaVita (Kent Thiry's former company)
-Vail Resorts’ CEO
-Billionaires Simone & Tench Coxe
-Many AI Venture Capitalists

We will not be silenced.*

*Unless you're one of several Griswold staffers who were allegedly forced to sign NDAs to cover up her misbehavior. Then indeed we have a queen I guess.
We will not be silenced. We have no kings.
