I’m running for the U.S. Senate so the people who built Colorado can take back control of our healthcare, our homes, and our futures.
Working people built Colorado, we deserve a government that finally works for us.

What are we missing and missing out on?

Here's what employers miss out on when they push out or refuse to hire older adults because of outdated stereotypes.

It's time to end #Ageism and reap the benefits of #Intergenerational teams.

Startling story with dramatic implications.

All of us need to understand how this will affect our security, employment, and the economy.

Woke up this morning with this thought:

In this turbulence, what all communities and workplaces need are people with the insights and experience of going through other times of great change.

And so I wrote this. The only thing that will get in the way? #Ageism

WTF? "Playing cards?"
Trump: You don’t have the cards

Zelenskyy: I’m not playing cards

Trump: You’re playing cards

Zelenskyy: What are you talking about?

What do they have in common besides being let go by NBC?

Hum let me think.

Not even Law and Order will get me watching.

It is tough out there for lots of people right now.

Let's try to do this, shall we?

This is probably the best #Boycott advice I've seen on social. And worth reading for those in the U.S. as we head toward February 28.

I'm already staying away from Target and Walmart, and this morning started unsubscribing from all emails.

#CanadianBoycott
This is what we’ve been doing in Canada. Boycott it all.
Calling stores, corporate offices & asking why they aren’t doing anything, telling them why we won’t buy their products.
If a business is making zero effort in the buy Canadian movement/elusive/lying about product origin…we shop elsewhere.

Have had a hectic week in my day work, you know, slaying the #Ageism dragon.

So have missed some of the current news, including #Musk and #Doge requesting the #FederalEmployees detailing their accomplishments. Really?

I asked my friends at #ChatGPT for some ideas.

Which is your favorite?
February 23, 2025 at 1:43 AM
My congressional representative Jeff Hurd was a no-show at the Town Hall citizens called in CD #3.

Little cat was disturbed to learn of this.

Musk's cuts will devastate rural communities.

She—along with many CD3 constituents—feels UnHurd!

Yes, they ARE "eating the checks."

My favorite sign from social media today; a friend took the photo at a protest in a red part of #Colorado.

Thank you to the friend who sent me this notebook this week.

Is there a more perfect notebook for journaling the times we are in?

Simon is wondering why @bsky.app has not responded to concerns about the #Ageism in its first anniversary meme.
