So excited for this on Friday 😊

In #KingSoopersStrike news in #ColoradoSprings: Union contracts here expired over the weekend, but still no local strikes have been announced. The union and the grocer are no closer to a resolution than they were before the strike, union reps said. gazette.com/business/col...

We're at levels of delusion never before seen.

Just like supporting climate action. Keep talking about these things folks - most people agree with you despite what you may think.

The requirement of two votes is an unnecessary hurdle that discourages unionization. The Labor Peace Act is a relic of the past and does not support today’s workers. #coleg

This is probably the most accurate take.

Finally it’s off the ballot does this mean Recreational MJ sales will start in Colorado Springs this year?

My late 30s were robbed by a pandemic. My early 40s are being stolen by an extreme political ideology fucking up the entire world. When will I be allowed to enjoy my life without god damn billionaires and "unprecedented events" getting in the way?

The best way to fight back against Musk: Don’t buy a Tesla. (And if you own one, sell it.) The company was already in a precarious position before Musk launched his assault on democracy. A Tesla boycott would be devastating – and richly deserved. Me, in Slate 🧵

The last few minutes of the latest @thewaroncars.bsky.social “I think it’s really easy when people are driving so hard to make change to just always think like nothing’s ever perfect. But I think first of all, appreciating and thanking the people who helped make those changes is very important.”

The city has installed four new school zones in Colorado Springs to help improve the safety of students.

Humbled that the family of Shirley Howard spoke with me a week after their sister was killed by a driver while pushing a stroller in the street next to an unplowed sidewalk. There is so much more to her story than local news is putting out there, and so much more we could do to save lives. 🧵
