Big News: @atucomms.bsky.social Local 1001, the union representing thousands of the workers who keep our buses and trains moving, has endorsed our campaign for RTD!
Their support means a lot to me as a former labor organizer, and shows our unions believe in my visions of an RTD for everyone.

We need more housing so our grandparents can stay in our communities as they age!

This app man. I need bluesky posters to stop being HOA presidents.
If you want regular people to agree with you, do not criticize the way they are agreeing with you because it is insufficiently aligned with the "proper" language.
This app is fun because it's like opening a 2020 time capsule

I'm not sure what an "Abundance Bro" is, but just in case you think it's us at @yimbydenver.bsky.social we supported the measure to ban new gas stations.

We lost by 1.5%
We don’t need fancy words, we need less fancy, substack-writing, “think tank” influencers punching left and parroting bad messaging.
We must adopt simpler language and focus on core issues, not blocking antitrust for your donors scared of Lina Khan

IMO Deep has Denver/Capitol tunnel vision here. Reps. are not the only options; and some are not likely candidates.
This could be a good seat to pick up a young person who represents the community senator rather than simply subbing in a generic candidate, especially someone like Jillarare.

Terrible idea.
We should not give in a single inch unless they are trading something (like adoption of same day registration, no-excuse mail in, and dropboxes in exchange).
This is a terrible "centrist" opinion. Our offer for reform should be "Colorado system, take it or leave it."

I echo GDT’s points about this meeting.
Limiting the public’s ability to speak while allowing the GM/CEO to speak with no pushback is how we got to this point in the first place.
I encourage our RTD board members to reconsider these goals to more aligned with what voters indicated they want.
