@jaredpolis My landlord raised my rent 20%, why isn’t this seen as a crisis like my out-of-state landlord’s property tax bill? #coleg #copolotics

[Robert Lindgren @AflBobby]

As we head into committee today with Colorado’s rail safety bill, NPR’s Fresh Air explains why it is so vital and urgent we address safety right now. #coleg #copols #copolitics https://t.co/1qm12xai9q

The state house honoring Dr. King under the portrait of Barney Ford - a key African American leader in Colorado that shaped the state especially our early commitment to anti-discrimination. We have not always lived up to Ford’s vision, we are better for that guiding light. #coleg

@pweiser @StopFraudCo My corporate, out of state, landlord has a simple way to hide fees. They require us to pay utilities and all associated fees then use a third party that adds things like a monthly setup fee that isn’t outlined in the lease. Still don’t charge for simple repairs, tho - that’s nuts

This isn’t “classy,” this is a carefully-worded, union busting consultant-written statement that paints unionization as a failure of a company, when a union simply balances out a power dynamic in negotiations.

This is an anti-union statement for a pro-union public.

Nearly every day I get to walk past this original signature of Walter Reuther, the forward thinking leader of the United Auto Workers. The new UAW leadership are channeling his energy as they claw back multi-tiered agreements that put new workers at a disadvantage. #1u @UAW

While workers and unions fight to make your communities safer, the rail industry continues to oppose safety reforms.

@UPS must be crazy to think @Teamsters455 @Teamsters would accept anything but a stellar contract! Here is an interview I did with an absolute baddass shop steward and UPS Teamster Tamika Austin https://t.co/OETJrySbpM

@UPS must be nuts if they think @Teamsters455 @Teamsters are going to settle for anything but a stellar contract. Here is an interview with a baddass shop steward and UPS Teamster. https://t.co/OETJrySbpM

Whatever you might say about Bob Rawlings, he cared about giving southern Colorado a voice. Gannett doesn’t understand this at all.

Bad news: Gannett has announced that they're shutting down print production at The Pueblo Chieftain, effective August 13, 2023. The paper will be printed at The Denver Post print facility. 51 people are losing their jobs.

Here's a statement from our union.

[Phil Weiser @pweiser]

This is painful end of an era, a blow to workers, and less resilience in our economy.

[Senator Nick Hinrichsen 🇺🇸🔰 @NickForCO]

The story of Southern Colorado is rich with history, art, and culture. It’s unlike anywhere else on earth. And that story deserves to be told, printed, and delivered by those who live here, and know the land and the people.
