Proud supporter of Great Education Colorado and the Every Student Welcome Network because equitable public education -> an informed, tolerant, reality-based electorate -> thriving democracy. Also a proud alum of Greeley School District 6.
We are headed for endless years of budget cuts if we don't give voters the chance to vote their values. A fairer tax system is the best way to protect and promote public education, rural communities, and Colorado's quality of life. #edcolo #copolitics #coleg
Terrific column by @lisaweil.bsky.social and @hillary5280.bsky.social in today's @coloradosun.com: Colorado needs a graduated income tax, which would cut state income taxes for 98% of Coloradans and raise funds for K-12, healthcare, child care. #copolitics coloradosun.com/2025/11/25/o... #copolitics
Opinion: Colorado’s continued billion-dollar struggle with state budget is reason we need to shift to graduated income tax
Voters deserve chance to rethink our state spending and change Colorado Constitution to change tax structure.

A critical and timely read, with Black Friday and Cyber Monday around the corner. It matters where you buy and how it's delivered.
I had a long discussion with @alexshultz.bsky.social of @hardresetmedia.com about how the rise of Amazon undermines work for delivery drivers and wider impacts on labor. www.hardresetmedia.com/p/how-amazon...
How Amazon Is Conquering (and Ruining) the Package Delivery Market
To fulfill billions of orders, Amazon leans on gig workers and subcontractors—an anti-labor practice afflicting most sectors of the economy. We spoke to the preeminent expert on the subject.

Urge the DPS Board to Demand Legislative Action Toward Fully & Fairly Funded Public Schools
For decades, TABOR (the so-called Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights) has restricted what the state can spend for schools. Now, federal funding and revenue changes pose additional threats to adequate, sustaina...

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Because of TABOR, cuts to Medicaid translates to cuts to K-12, higher ed, health care, etc. In 2026, we need to give the voters a voice in what happens to all our public services. (If P-12 is your jam, get involved here: www.greateducation.org/get-it-done/) #copolitics #edcolo #TABOR #coleg
Colorado would lose billions in Medicaid funding under House Republicans’ plan
More than 100,000 Coloradans could lose their health insurance if Congress passes newly proposed cuts to Medicaid, according to preliminary estimates.
