It was a true privilege to be part of this panel just now with intellectual freedom and first amendment fighters Michelle White, Becky Calzada, Carolyn Foote after a powerful showing of The Librarians Film at the Sie FilmCenter. Ban book bans.

Oh goodie - Monday. Time to dust off the wrecking ball and start ruining my workplace for the week. Ladies, any other ideas about what we should ruin? I've got a couple ideas...

Weak AF dems. And everyone knows what I am talking about. It's like Negotiating 101. Know your opposition's likely tactics and be prepared. And don't take a position you won't defend, because you lose bargaining power and credibility down the line. I swear you are trying to lose the 2026 election.

October 21st, I had my first arguments before the Colorado Supreme Court. My client, Mary Moreno, was fired by Circle K for pushing an armed burgler away. Circle K argued that at-will employment is so strong companies are entitled to fire employees even if they acted in self-defense. We disagreed.

Nothing says more about how greed has corrupted our economic policies and politics than a Musk trillionare. Shows the utter failure of our officials, and the Supreme Court with Citizens United, McCutcheon. Meanwhile, 42 million Americans face hunger bc Reps want to jack up healthcare premiums.

I way over bought candy this year (again)! Did no one else have parents run out of candy when you were young and drive around looking for you while you were trick-or-treating because they needed refills? I am scarred for life and will never stop buying too much 😅! Happy Halloween Everyone 🍬🍬🍬!!!

While I hope all are having a nice Halloween, I thought this was so messed up. Deporting kids who are trick-or-treating is completely f*cked up. What is wrong with people? Next they'll dress up as Santa and have ICE steal kiddies off their laps for Christmas.

Getting half a million dollars in medical bills for breast cancer treatment sure brings some perspective on the government shutdown.

Inspiring gathering tonight I helped co-host for David Seligman (@daveyseligman.bsky.social) with Council Member Sarah Parady, Jenifer Rodriguez, Sofia Solano, and Anne Shaver. This is who we need for Attorney General. We can do this! Unprecedented record fighting for workers, tenants, and patients.

I'm thrilled to be co-hosting a fundraiser for my dear friend David Seligman - a bold, progressive candidate for AG - someone who’s ready to fight for the 99% and not the powerful elite. This is a chance to support a real fighter — someone who’s not afraid to challenge big money and corporate power.

My brother, Tal Halpern, hand drew these pictures for me for my birthday, symbolizing everything I have struggled through with my cancer and surgery, and then recovering and breaking away from it for the upcoming year. I love them ❤️.

On my doctor restricted excursion today with my walking limitations, I made it down the street in Frisco to an energetic No Kings protest. Keep it up folks! And notice that great minds think alike with similar t-shirts. Now back to the couch...that was a fun little break!
