Why School Board Elections Matter—Especially in CO-4 School boards decide what your kids learn, which books stay, & whether all students feel safe. In CO-4, Kristi Burton Brown now on the State Board, pushing politics into classrooms—limiting curriculum, expanding charters, and erasing inclusion.
Happy Birthday, Colorado! After 149 years, you’re still wild, still beautiful, still not handing power to extremists—and still here for all Coloradans.

So yeah—that South Park. Our South Park. Absurdity aside. Beneath the chaos, it’s a sharp take on fear, censorship, and silence. When satire’s doing the job our institutions won’t, maybe it’s time we stop getting so comfortable. #MondayMotivation
Trump’s recent EO tells states to lock up people who are homeless, addicted, or mentally ill. Instead of housing or care, it’s handcuffs and institutions. It targets Colorado’s most vulnerable — veterans, families, rural residents. Push back. Vote for leaders who invest in people, not prisons.

Farmworkers in CA and beyond are striking July 16–18, protesting immigration raids and demanding protections. #HuelgaParaLaDignidad ( Strike for Dignity) is led by activists—not unions. We, the people, are making good trouble every day.

Join One Million Rising—a national effort to train 1M people to fight back and defend democracy. First session: Tuesday, July 16 Register: bit.ly/4nIaRO5 Let’s rise together.
One Million Rising: Strategic Non-Cooperation to Fight Authoritarianism · No Kings
Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just on single days of mass action, but through sustained organizing in our communities. That’s why this summer, we’re launching One Million Rising—a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we build people power that can’t be ignored. You’re invited to join us—and lead. Let’s build a force bigger than fear and louder than hate. Let’s get ready. Let’s get organized. Let’s stop Trump. **Session 1: The Moment & Your Mission - July 16** Get oriented to making meaning of this moment and the role you can play in coordinated strategic action. **Session 2: How to Make it Happen - July 30** Learn not just our strategy, but how you can lead a discussion with others and get them on board with taking action in your community. You'll host your first community resistance gathering after this session, before our next session. **Session 3: What Now? - August 13** You'll be onboarded to basic campaign design and learn how to implement it locally as well as get plugged into our next national campaign work. Your second community resistance gathering will move this action forward. Sign up for all 3 sessions to get the most out of this experience. Watch it live with a friend in person, and get ready now to host your own community resistance gatherings after the second and third sessions. This is how we get to 1 million!

if you’re tired, rest. if you’re scared, speak. if you’re angry, organize. if you have hope — act on it. #MondayMotivation
Today is hope day. Today and every day, we choose hope. Hope is not blind optimism. It’s not ignoring the enormity of the task ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. It’s not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight.
The 14th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1868 — a radical act of reconstruction and reckoning. It promised citizenship and equal protection to everyone born in this country. Everyone. No asterisks. No exceptions.
From the eastern plains to the Front Range suburbs, what came out of yesterday’s cabinet meeting hits all of CO-4. Federal layoffs slash support for farms, families, and first responders. Tariffs raise prices on everything from tractors to groceries. Learn how it impacts us:
July is National Parks & Rec Month — and we’re breathing a little easier knowing our public lands are still ours. Trump’s dangerous “BBB” budget passed, but thanks to public outcry, language to sell off national parks was removed.
The BBB is a wake-up call. National policy is shaped by local power. That’s why we’re focused on: • Flipping school boards • Electing down-ballot pro-democracy leaders • Fighting disinfo with trusted messengers 1/2
Hurry kills Presence Worry kills Peace Doubt kills Faith Ego kills Love (Now, read that right to left.)
“Texas voted for this.” “FAFO.” “They deserve it.” No. Disasters don’t punish voters — they devastate communities. Kids. Elders. Families trying to make it. Some may have voted against their interests. But not all. And cruelty won’t change a thing. This is a moment for compassion, not division.
Thinking of everyone impacted by the flooding in Central Texas. If you or someone you love is affected, here are trusted resources: Red Cross (shelter & meals): 1-800-RED-CROSS | redcross.org FEMA aid: DisasterAssistance.gov | 1-800-621-3362 1/2
We’re angry too. The “Big Beautiful Bill” is a betrayal — and they’re hoping we give up. We won’t. “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice — but only if we bend it.”
Trump visited a new detention center today in the Florida Everglades. They’re calling it “Alligator Alcatraz.” A prison for immigrants—built in a swamp, surrounded by alligators. Cruelty as policy. Racism, repackaged. We stand with our immigrant neighbors. Report ICE: 1-844-864-8341
We’re not here to scream into the void. We’re here to win smart. That means using Boebert’s own incentives—her brand, her voters, her fear of losing—to pressure her where it counts.
Amendment voting is now underway on Trump’s 940-page “Big Beautiful Bill.” A final vote could come as soon as tonight. Then it heads to the House—just in time for Trump’s July 4 signature goal. Let that sink in. On the day we celebrate independence, he wants to sign a bill that strips it away. 🧵
