Those who believe an algorithm will solve every existential problem grossly underestimate the necessity of human emotional intelligence in motivating and inspiring innovation. Efficiencies devoid of empathy may garner corporate profits but will never fuel a loyal nation.

“I have come to wonder whether these expressions of despair and surrender are really masking an irrational longing for a magical way out of this nightmare - a hope that some deus ex machina will swoop down and spare us what we are facing.” open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

If this doesn’t make you sick, then you are sick.

The enduring gift of our unencumbered education is that once a concept has been learned no system or person can strip it from us. Hold close our books, our wisdom, our unvarnished histories and understanding of democracy. Be intentional in sharing those concepts in our words and actions daily.

“I keep remembering the poetry of Lucille Clifton, who says, come celebrate with me that every day something has tried to kill me, and it has failed. This has failed, and it will fail.” -Rev. William Lamar IV showing us the way after being awarded the Proud Boys’ trademark.

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

Colorado bill that would ban manufacture, sale of semiautomatic guns with detachable magazines clears first hurdle coloradosun.com/2025/01/29/c... #copolitics #coleg

We are officially in the Old Supreme Court waiting for hearing for SB25-003 to begin.

CO has to chance to close a firearm high capacity magazine loophole that the gun manufacturers & dealers have exploited for 10+ yrs. The Boulder King Soopers and Colo Spgs Club Q shootings are blood on their hands. I’ll be at the state Capitol wearing red on 1/28 to support SB25-003, will you?

Let love, justice, humanity, kindness, compassion, empathy, courage, honesty, conviction and perseverance be your antidote.

Just started a 2025 Democracy Diet 1. Decommissioning my personal FB, IG & Threads accts (ditched X long ago) 2. Using Amazon solely for searches & then, whenever possible, purchasing from another vendor. 3. Giving up Whole Foods (I will miss those green chili empanadas!). Any other suggestions?

Bears repeating again today.
