I’m listening in on Channel 8. Lots of love to your team ❤️❤️❤️. It’s devastating.

“Change Is on Tap” is a pretty hilarious message coming from an incumbent…🤔

I’ve been collecting protest/political songs that don’t suck since 2017. As of Jan 2025, my playlist was about 6 hours of music. In the past year, I’ve added an additional two hours of tunes, passing 8 hours this month with no sign of slowing down.

But this has been my soapbox since the 2016 caucus (wh was the “highest” turnout year because of Bernie/Hillary), and in my precinct it was still less than 10% turnout. I was on a CO Dems committee in late 2019 to reform caucus/assembly, but then COVID happened & the issue was dropped.

I understand—there are a lot of great candidates whose only option to get on the ballot is via caucus, so it’s good folks are showing up!

“High” turnout at caucus is still just a fraction of Dem voters in a given county. It’s an incredibly exclusionary & disenfranchising process that should be abolished in favor of lower petition signature thresholds for ballot access! (Eg, do any of the precinct caucuses provide translation svcs?)

I was wondering if this “march” was performance art because I remember a satirical group doing this at protests in SF around the Iraq War (“Americans for War at Any Cost”) and Occupy, and lo and behold, the Billionaires for Bush guy showed up to mock the actual participants of this one.

The first to arrive at the rally were a few individuals parodying the rally. They came dressed in suits and gowns, drinking water from champagne flutes, all a part of a theatrical gesture to mock the pro-billionaire rally.

Among those in costume who participated in the parody rally was L.M. Bogad, a performance artist and professor of political performance at UC Davis. He started a satirical group in the early 2000s called Billionaires for Bush, a street theater political organization, and said he continues to show up in costume when big political moments like this happen.

Seeing Jason Gallardo’s name as the lobbyist who met with the city on their behalf just made me go 🤦🏽‍♀️🙄. He was basically an in-house lobbyist during his time in DOTI, so it’s not at all surprising to see him turn up in this story.

My then-7 year old and I spent COVID lockdown watching Wartime Farm! It probably is time for a rewatch.

Ha, I was just about to say this to my husband. When we met with his aide last month, I told them how enraging it was to get fundraising texts from Dems right now and that I better not be seeing any from his campaign anytime soon.

There are too many good protests lyrics for me to choose from. But if you need a soundtrack for these days, this is an ever-growing playlist of protest/political songs that don’t suck that I’ve been curating since 2017: open.spotify.com/playlist/5JM...

I spotted him deep in a completely batshit investigative ProPublica story a few months back, and was like, Huh. I guess that makes sense as his next career move. www.propublica.org/article/thom...

Screenshot of this passage from a ProPublica article: “ After the hospital reported Weiner’s narcotics practice to the DEA, the agency investigated, according to Steffan Tubbs with its Rocky Mountain field division. He told me investigators brought a potential criminal case to the U.S. attorney’s office but that prosecutors instead decided to pursue civil penalties against Weiner. A spokesperson for the U.S. attorney declined to comment.”

There’s a Denver event happening on the west steps of the Capitol. I’m meeting up with friends there around noon if you’re thinking of going.

You’d be surprised how politically aware the kids are & the conversations she overhears on the bus!

If one of these sixth graders is my sixth grader, she could co-facilitate the presentation with you.

During my time, it was the same revolving door story for people experiencing homelessness who got rapid rehousing vouchers vs permanent supportive housing. So it shouldn’t have surprised anyone to get the same result with this demographic too.

Does the data show what % of eviction filings were for tenants who are new immigrant arrivals? Early in the year, I worried about the number of folks getting placed in units who didn’t have work permits yet and/or long-term stable income streams.

Same—my high school kid says she’s only ever heard people use them ironically or in absurdist ways. She compares it to no one actually saying “totally tubular” unironically in the 80s.

This is a bit out of left field, but Nathan Hill’s novel Wellness includes a chapter “The Needy Users: A Drama in Seven Algorithms”—brilliant illustration of an old man’s radicalization through FB’s algorithms. Lots of food for thought/discussion about how algorithms push perceptions of reality.

I know the ceasefire resolution sponsors are also working on these issues, but it’s worth pointing out that ZERO items on that list are City Council’s job, if we’re going by what their powers are under the city charter.
