Today I made my voice heard, did you?

We had school boards, which conservatives target to raise the next generation in their values, and taxation on the ballot here in Colorado Springs. All of it was vital issues, and it's never been more important to vote.

May I suggest reading "Strongmen" by Ruth Ben-Ghiat? Or perhaps the October 16, 2025 report from Stable State?

Pie graphic titled "knowledge is power" with a subtitle reading "signs of facism." The wheel reads us vs them divisions, erosion of civil liberties, encouraging violence, removal of independent institutions, weaponized corruption, exaggerated masculinity, information control, and leader as savior in a clockwise direction. The hashtag says #nokings.

Silence is both privilege and violence.
Graphic titled "so we're very clear: core values" with a blue box reading "equal rights: women's, queer (including trans), and black/indigenous rights are human rights", a red box reading "government: of the people, by the people, for the people. Not of the corporations, by the elite, for the ruling class," a green box reading "rule of law: the law applies to everyone equally, including presidents as much as folks on the street," and a grey box reading "common good: the world is our home, and we cannot hope to survive as a species while destroying it"

Sometimes, the best hikes are the ones you didn't think would be spectacular.

The Burro Days in #fairplay #colorado are a unique experience! I'm glad it hasn't changed much.

Green Mountain Falls, #colorado, is known for its #publicart and this year's #greenboxarts display does not disappoint! Definitely worth a visit.
