The insane importance of state leg elections in less than 2 minutes.

Imagine the kind of state we could live in if Democrats had ONE MORE SEAT in the State Senate. VOTE to make it a reality. #ElectionDay #IVoted #GoVote #copolitics

I know I will regret banging my head on this particular wall again, but:
1. The Obama DOJ made mistakes w/r/t James Rosen, admitted it, & reformed the rules governing media subpoenas. It’s incomplete for reporters to attack the former without at least acknowledging the latter.

Every capitalist should try living under $7.25/hour minimum wage in the USA for 6 months.

Is @RepTipton the representative for Denver? Somehow I missed that.
He never gives these chats in OUR district. @indivisibleden @IndivisibleRf @IndivisibleGJ @Indivisibleps @d3indivisible https://t.co/dkZrUYurln

“Kimberly-Clark, maker of paper products like Kleenex, Viva paper towels, Cottonelle bathroom tissue and Huggies diapers, announced earlier this month it would use its tax cut windfall to pay the costs of closing 10 factories and dumping as many as 5,500 workers.”

Today is the busiest, most hectic day of the year for pizza delivery people.

They're hourly workers, underpaid and most live paycheck-to-paycheck.

Today can be a GREAT opportunity for them to get ahead.

PLEASE tip them well.

Hmmm... are Democrats Fired Up and Ready to Go? Standing room only at candidate forum hosted by @coloradodems. So, yes, bring on November. #COpolitics

[Flippable @flippable_org]

There's a long way to go to true representation. Let's take a big step toward that number in 2018. #bluewave https://t.co/3xfCxEUN4K

Hey all, check out this twitter handle and give it a follow: @DreamerThanks is launching a campaign to spread truth about DACA recipients and also thank them for being in and enriching our lives. @indivisiblefrr @indivisibleden @IndivisibleHRCO @IndivisibleTeam @kansaninkling

In light of today’s events, we have no choice but to release our own memo.

[Colorado Resistance @ColoradoResists]

Two Republican state senators (including Tim Neville, whose seat is up in 2018) voted to eliminate Colorado's affordable housing authority today. If they had control of our state government right now, what do you think they'd be doing?

State politics matters. Vote. https://t.co/A8SpVIRljY

[Colorado Senate Democrats @COSenDem]

.@SenGuzman's bill to renew CHFA (Colorado's affordable housing authority) has passed the Senate Finance Committee!

❌ Sen Tim Neville (R) - No
❌ Sen Jim Smallwood (R) - No

Anti-racist grammar tip: the word "illegal" is an adjective which describes an act by a person. It is never an adjective which describes an entire person, and it is ABSOLUTELY NEVER EVER a noun. #copolitics

.@SenCoryGardner @RepMikeCoffman Are you going to tout this result of the #TaxScamBill too? @indivisiblefrr @indivisibleco6 @IndivisibleHRCO @indivisibleden https://t.co/zgRkS76LvV

[Colorado Senate Democrats @COSenDem]

There are ZERO counties in CO where a full-time, minimum wage worker can afford a one-bedroom rental. The median hourly wage in CO is lower today than it was in 2000.

High cost of living and low pay hurt our rural and mountain communities too. It's not just NoCo and Denver. https://t.co/buL8B7Vufm

[Colorado Senate Democrats @COSenDem]

This is one of the most offensive concepts at the core of conservative ideology.

They want you to believe that a food service worker doing 60+ hours / week at multiple restaurants doesn't "work as hard" as a guy who sits behind a desk because desk guy gets paid more. It's sick. https://t.co/59Zda3dRrV

[Indivisible Denver @indivisibleden]

Almost impressed by @SenCoryGardner for the chutzpah and/or obliviousness required to be this out of touch with his constituents twice in one morning.

[New Era Colorado @NewEraColorado]

Hey @PodSaveAmerica! We heard @TVietor08 mention how important the millennial vote will be in upcoming elections. New Era is the leading voice for millennials in Colorado and we want to register voters at your upcoming Denver Show! @Jonfavs @jonlovett #MillennialsSaveAmerica

[Colorado Senate Democrats @COSenDem]

Exactly. People who think low-wage jobs are "easy money for lazy teenagers" wouldn't last a month in food service or retail.

If the minimum wage kept up with productivity, it would be almost $20 / hour. Working people aren't greedy — they just want to be paid what they're worth. https://t.co/S350KDWcYB
