Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 9mEvery age demographic in America, from young renters, to first time home buyers, to our elders looking to stay in their homes, are struggling with exploding housing costs. One of the main culprits is the increase in corporate ownership of single-family homes. 100
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Your vote seriously means more than ever this midterm. Ballots are being sent out this week, and we need you to do your part in ensuring a better future for Thortinians. Vote for Manny Rutinel, yes of prop NN, and yes on amendment 87 for a graduated income tax. 041
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 04/10/2026If you are 22 and one of your friends brings you some shrooms where unbeknownst to any of you, they have trace amounts of fentanyl, you will all go to prison until you are at least 30. Prop 132 is dangerous and is funded by for-profit prison systems. Vote no on 132. 041
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 30/09/2026When I made my apology post about the Holocaust, I was (and still am) accused to taking AIPAC money. So am I surprised about the backlash against Mamdani for stating the simple fact, "antisemitism is bad"? Of course not. 000
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Lobbyists are intentionally deceiving Colorado voters and threatening the strength of our democracy. Corporate lobbying dollars don't only go to buying politicians and bills, they also spend big on ballot measures that you get to vote on. 111
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott deserves just as much press and praise as Mamdani. 000

Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 15/09/2026We all want our government to be able to afford the public services our families depend on. In Colorado, our state budget is limited by TABOR. Our budget is 15% smaller than it should be. If we do not amend or repeal TABOR, Colorado's ability to care for all of us will degrade. 042
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Bo French being blatantly racist about the diversity of Americans is wild considering the state of Texas exists entirely because US settlers refused to convert to Catholicism and learn Spanish. 021

Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 22/07/2026The kind of Democrats people want to see in office won 6 of 8 seats while being outspent nearly 10:1 in every race a month ago in Colorado. The party that Zohran Mamdani believes in is here. 022

Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 17/07/2026As of right now, our biggest threat to our elections are not foreign interests, it's Donald Trump. 000
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 14/07/2026The ICE shooting in Houston and Maine this week goes deeper than dissolving an agency. States MUST end qualified immunity for federal agents so we can start putting these people behind bars—Where they belong. 021
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 09/07/2026The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti 032

Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 29/05/2026We need to remember that everyone thought Trump eas a racist nut job 10 years ago but he's 2/3 in elections. Victor Marx might sound bonkers, but he's galvanizing the Republican party like we haven't seen in decades. We MUST take him seriously. 010

Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 18/05/2026With Jared Polis' most recent debacle, and Marx's massive rise, I can't help but notice how much we are replicating the Colorado version of the 2016 election. I hope I'm proven wrong. 000
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Right now, a company can buy your user data and use AI models to compute the maximum amount of money you'll pay for a plane ticket to go to a family member's funeral.

Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Campaigns aren't viable without money- Who you take money from determines who has power over your ability to win. I refuse to let companies commodifying our healthcare dictate my values. I'm proud to be the only one in this race not taking corporate health industry or MAGA Republican money. 010
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 12/05/2026O&G corporations are buying our politics- I'm proud to be the only Democrat in this race to have not taken any money from oil and gas, nor MAGA Republicans. 000
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 11/05/2026People should not have to compete with corporations for homes. Full stop. So let's ban them from competing in the housing market. 000
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 07/05/2026A state senator being investigated for taking possibly illegal gifts from an organization that refuses donor transparency was the deciding vote on... a donor transparency bill. Do conflict of interest requirements not exist? Or? 020
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Someone asked me how to Colorado respond to the Supreme Court decision on voting rights. Colorado MUST support a 7-1 redistricting proposal. We cannot afford to stay out of this fight. 000
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 29/04/2026We are seeing in REAL TIME the dissolution of democracy. Now, as much as ever, do we need to build solidarity with our neighbors to push back against fascism- Or become victims to it. 010

Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 22/04/2026A conspiracy theory I 1,000% believe is that people "being into" politics like a hobby was a conspiracy perpetrated by the ruling class. Politics isn't a hobby that "you're interested in", it's every aspect of our lives. 000
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 20/04/2026I just don't understand how lowering farmworkers wages solved anything. Idk, that's just me though I guess. 000
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 15/04/2026As fundraising reports come out, remember that money isn't everything- Especially not in this cycle. 000
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Colorado can't possibly think it's okay to change Cesar Chavez Day to FarmWorkers Day while *at the same time* considering increasing the hour requirement for OT from 48hrs to 60hrs.

Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 13/04/2026I asked someone what standing up to the federal government looked like to them. They got upset and told me I was the politician, I should know. She wasn't angry at me. She was angry because she was taught voting was enough- It's not. We must stay involved and defend our communities beyond voting. 000
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 08/04/2026At assembly a few weeks ago someone asked me "why people (Congress) are letting this happen" It's because the American aristocracy (the Jeffries and Schumers) will continue to benefit from a system that oppresses the people who vote for them. They simply do not care- Their gravy train doesn't stop. 100
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 07/04/2026SB26-087 advanced last week which would allow legislators to take LOAs while in session. As someone who works full time and will continue to after being elected, it's great to see this bill be supported in order to make it more accessible for real people to enter politics, not just rich people. 000
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Families shouldn't have to compete with corporations to buy a home. If we want to get serious about addressing the largest wealth and income gap in American history, then it's time we start having serious conversations about banning corporations from buying single family homes in Colorado. 010
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Y'all, I'm tired of learning the same lesson: When institutions bend to fascists, the pressure does not stop fascists — it emboldens them. Even if Tina Peters’ convictions still stand, it should alarm everyone that changing her sentence is even being entertained. 021
Gabriel Cervantes @gabrieltcervantes.bsky.social · 27/02/2026I want to thank community for bringing this to my attention. 100
