If, in *this* moment, you're a legislator who chooses to go hang out w/ corporate lobbyists at a fancy hotel in Vail instead of standing up for everyday Coloradans who are struggling like hell, you might be wildly out of touch w/ where the electorate is at.

Proud to be one of several organizers of this statement. We must always fight like hell against those who try to use communities in pain as political pawns in a quest for power -- especially when there is an attempt to set them against one another.

Happy Memorial Day to everyone except narcissistic draft dodgers who still somehow want to make the day all about them.

GTFOH.

Screenshot of part of a Denver Post article that reads: That may be the first of multiple labor-backed ballot measures in 2026. Labor officials are eying the potential: Not only is 2026 a midterm year during a Republican presidency, but April data released by the bipartisan Colorado Polling Institute found that labor unions had the highest total favorability ratings of any person or group in the state included in the survey — including Polis, who placed second.

Headline: Gov. Polis vetoes Colorado bill that would have eased union formation Image of text that reads: “This veto from Governor Polis is a betrayal of working people in Colorado, but also one we are not surprised about,” Wynn Howell, Colorado Working Families Party state director, said in a statement after the veto. “Given that he is one of the wealthiest men in Colorado, it is no shock that he is woefully out of touch with public opinion on this question.” Image of text that reads: Howell called on Attorney General Phil Weiser and U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, two Democrats in the race for Colorado governor next year, to weigh in on whether they would have signed the bill. “Will Senator Bennet or AG Weiser stand with workers? Or will they just be more of the same stale and out of touch anti-worker politics in Colorado? Neither one has said publicly whether they would sign the Worker Protection Act, and at this point their silence is deafening. We urge them to answer that question clearly and unambiguously,” they wrote.

Half billionaire identity > party, voters or workers.

Resistance leader my ass. Try Log Cabin Republican who knows he can't win an election unless he pretends to be a Dem.

I'll say it again: people don't like bullies. Especially country club bullies who are trying to enrich their golf buddies at the expense of the rest of us.

Like I said, bullies have glass jaws and weaker egos. And, apparently, this one is a terrible liar.

Don't let the bastards grind you down.

Also, here's a reminder in case anyone has forgotten how wildly, absurdly, and amazingly unpopular Hancock managed to make himself by the end of his administration... Needless to say, he's definitely NOT someone whose poltical advice I would consider to be "wise counsel".

Bernie: has his largest rally ever two blocks from the Colorado Capitol and remains the most popular figure in the Dem Party

Literally Every Poll: Ds & Us want a fighting Democratic Party and are repulsed by Dems collaborating with oligarchs & MAGA

And here are two of me having the best volunteer job of my life (except maybe for the time that I ran security for a 2018 Bernie rally).

h/t to Owen Perkins for the photos!

Forgot one! I'm gonna remember this day til I'm old(er) and gray(er) -- it's not every day that you get to help backstage at the largest Bernie rally in history.

Friday was a damn good day that showed, quite clearly, that worker power is on the rise in Colorado.
