In the 1990s, Colorado Springs gained national attention as evangelical Christians there worked to block gay rights. In the decades since, LGBTQ advocates have built community and celebrated wins in the Springs. Then tragedy struck. @MarcSallinger reports for @nexton9news.

I just learned America has a thing called Trunk or Treat where people dress up, drive to a parking lot, and pretend it's ok we don't have walkable communities anymore.

I look forward to hearing the same folks who have been insisting that teachers just can’t be trusted to decide how/what to teach their students now argue that the solution to school shootings is for those same teachers to be armed.

Immigration is America's superpower, so this should be raising alarm bells for policymakers:

The United States is no longer the top choice of foreign talent when asked where they would move for work.

Utah's Republican Governor Spencer Cox, as he vetoes a ban on trans athletes passed by the state legislature, notes 75,000 high school athletes and only four are transgender. "Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few."

To explain zoning to my family, for holiday dinner I’m gonna ask to put salads on one table, drinks on another, sides on a third table and the main dish in the living room.
Then watch the traffic chaos as everyone tries to eat.
That’s how suburbs create traffic out of thin air

I don't always park my Mercedes in a bike lane, but when I do, it's to sign a petition to keep poor people out of my neighborhood.

It's wild how the current ADU moment is basically just us rediscovering a totally normal thing that happened for centuries.

[Ludo Campbell-Reid @LudoCReid]

It is an outrage that this is legal. Fails basic forward view criteria? And cities worry about the dangers of #EScooters Give me a break!

It doesn’t matter if you have solar panels, drive an EV, or compost/ recycle everything you own-if you oppose more housing in your neighborhood (especially if it’s walkable or well-connected by public transit), you’re doing more to harm the environment than to help it.

6 months ago today I wore this blue suit as I cleaned the Capitol after the insurrection, now I just donated it to the Smithsonian. Jan6 must never be forgotten. While some try to erase history, I will fight to tell the story so it never happens again. Here is one story…(THREAD)

[Patrick Skinner @SkinnerPm]

You know what was like The Holocaust? The Holocaust.
You know what was like Jim Crow? Jim Crow.
Stop using offensive historical analogies because you’re so sheltered that you have to use the historic pain of others to express your mild inconvenience or because you’re just a liar

The CDC says fully vaccinated people can still cancel plans to stay home and read.

Just think, we’re all just a few billion dollars away from hosting SNL.

Reminder that if you make minimum wage and work full-time, you qualify for food stamps.

Who pays for food stamps? You do.

Stop asking if the price of goods will go up if the minimum wage grows, and start asking why you're subsidizing businesses to pay poverty wages.
