Aurorans deserve a safe & affordable city with leaders who put community first. Dark money only serves grifters. But the many can defeat the money!

Make your plan to vote & ask 3 friends if they've voted!

Today's Ceasefire editorial: We DON"T need more guns in schools.

Opinion: β€œArm teachers” refrain after Evergreen High School shooting is misguided and dangerous
More guns to fight school shootings is not the answer. Sensible gun laws, mental health support, and better security is.

Colorado Democrats are trying to stop this from happening.

Colorado Republicans are insisting that this happens because the only thing they care about is serving Trump and cutting taxes for billionaires.

People talk a lot about critical thinking, but rarely how to practice it. This breaks down the process into buildable habits for each step: observe, communicate, analyze, infer, solve. Small habits make a stronger community and a stronger movement. Free to use. Save it to stay curious πŸƒ
Infographic showing five steps of critical thinkingβ€”observation, communication, analysis, inference, and problem solving. Each step includes small examples of what to do at that stage, illustrating critical thinking as a repeatable process that helps to understand new information and take action. Full PDFs available in the link on the first comment.

local activist groups like Dems, Indivisibles, school & church communities.

If you would like to head something up, we're happy to put you in touch with the Dems team nearest you! Bring friends (they don't have to be D's). Or if you organize on your own, we can help promote!

Well, Fam, just found out our health insurance is jumping from $1700 to over $3000 a month. And we still have to wait till Nov 1 to see more optionsβ€”when the site will probably crash because everyone will be freaking out at the same time.

So we've been trained to sabotage our own movements from within and it worked on all of us I'm afraid! ESPECIALLY if you're marginalized. But here's how to stop it. Save these. These go in your phone now. REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE.
Infographic on spotting self-sabotage in communities. Three signs: 1) Dilutes the Purpose – off-topic nitpicking; 2) Replaces Curiosity with Caution – fear or futility messaging; 3) Drains Morale – leaves people discouraged. Passing comments add clarity, use curiosity not fear, and leave participants stronger. Infographic on countering sabotage. C Concrete facts- verify; O Orient to purpose; M Mind morale; P Protect the point; A Acknowledge don’t accuse; S Steer to solutions. Each step pairs with research showing how clarity, purpose, empathy, and small actions restore cooperation.

The purpose of politics is to have enough power to enact an agenda, not to get elected merely for the sake of doing so. What's dismissed in this interview is need to govern for real live people - and, yes, that means our wallets but for some it also means our absolute most basic liberties. /1

There's a lot to unpack, digest and consider here, though some of the solutions they suggest seem unworkable.

But it's striking to me that they dismiss @aoc.bsky.social as "AOC at the Met gala," when she is actually an example of a working-class candidate with great communication skills who wins.

TY to all Wildcats who called on U of AZ to be strong! It matters. Courage is contagious, and the best way for our institutions to catch it is from us -- the people who make institutions what they are.
