Hey @nickshirleyy you should come to Denver and check out our Homeless Industrial Complex.
Mayor @MikeJohnstonCO's policies funnel millions in taxpayer cash to NGOs and “affordable” housing developers.
An audit found that $150,000,000 in spending from 2022-2024 wasn’t properly tracked.
Johnston’s campaign and ballot initiatives raked in big money from shady donors like Reid Hoffman. Why is a California billionaire meddling in Denver’s elections?

Congrats but get over yourself. We’re recruiting and sending volunteers to help cure ballots. You could have two more state house colleagues so maybe get off your high horse.
FYI, you were opposed in the primary because you petitioned on the ballot and the state assembly voted to endorse your opponent.
Mark Cuban, a really dumb guy, who thinks he’s “hot stuff” but he’s absolutely nothing, is now out there saying that I don’t surround myself with strong women. Actually, he is very wrong, I surround myself with the strongest of women - With the understanding that ALL women are great, whether strong or not strong. This guy is such a fool, he’s constantly on Television being critical, and only for the reason that I tuned him out completely while President because he called incessantly. I told him, very pointedly, “Look Mark, I’ve got a lot of things to do, I just can’t be taking so many pointless calls from you.” In any event, that affected him greatly, because he’s a very insecure guy, and a MAJOR LOSER, always has been and always will be! Nobody likes him, nobody respects him, and he’s unattractive both inside and out! He should go back to talk about the person he was forced to support, because I didn’t want it, Lyin’ Kamala Harris. Also, he’s got no clubhead speed!
I may, in fact, be surrounded by the strongest women in the World, including Heads of Countries, who make Mark look like a “baby!” All strong women, and women in general, should be very angry about this weak man’s statement.
Philanthropy & luxury beliefs have destroyed cities & education for so many people (rich & poor); common core, housing first, harm reduction & restorative justice are failed realities. Measuring impact is what most nonprofits have failed to do; few really care about solving for deeper causal issues, bc it's too hard to do. Few incorporate self-agency in their models, bc they cant control for human will.

@MikeJohnstonCO This is a joke right? I have more homeless than ever causing problems around my residence. Stealing stuff off my porch, vandalizing my detached garage, throwing garbage on my property, defecating in the alley. Need I go on?
After not being to account for $24 billion in homeless spending, Governor Newsom just vetoed AB 2570, which would have required an annual audit of homeless spending in California. The gravy train to nowhere continues.

John Spencer, expert in urban warfare, explains to Sam Harris what was unique about the October 7 footage. First, Hamas members were absolutely euophoric as they were going off to rape and murder. As someone who has led men into battle, he tells us that “this is not normal”.
Most striking was the reaction to the sound of a young boy moaning to death. In a normal battlefield situation, even when there is an enemy combatant, there is usually an instinct to render aid. Here, a boy’s eyes were gone, his father just killed, and the Hamas fighter nonchalantly goes and grabs a beverage from the refrigerator.
This war has clarified so much for me. I keep talking about why Hamas is worse than Nazis, and the moral culpability of Palestinian civilians. People don’t like these opinions. They still remain true. If you have a position on this conflict other than “Israel keeps going until Hamas is destroyed” you have failed one of the great moral tests of our time.
At Case Western Reserve University @cwru in Cleveland, a contractor hired to paint over a vandalized wall by pro-Gaza activists is met by protesters who want to stop him. He proceeds to paint over them too. The protesters say that's assault.
