Charlie Kirk's political and social opinions are hateful garbage. And he has the same right as anyone else to express them without fear of being shot. Political violence suppresses all free speech, not just the stuff we agree with.

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.

Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.

Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.

It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Take note of who actually listens to the people they “represent” and vote accordingly. It’s time to hold these people accountable
Colorado Republicans don’t want to listen to you.

NEW: State Sen. Barb Kirkmeyer (R-Brighton) is launching a longshot bid for Colorado Governor. Kirkmeyer told me she's pro-Trump but doesn't see herself as part of the MAGA movement. She knows some in her party call her "Queen of the RINOs." #copolitics

I'm proud to stand in solidarity with Hilton Hotel workers in Houston who are on strike against corporate greed.

If Hilton can afford to spend $2.9 billion to buy back its own stock and pay its CEO $28 million, it can afford to pay workers a living wage of at least $23 an hour.
