I have never backed down from a righteous fight!

[WandaLJames @WandaLJames]

Press event with the @COblackcaucus, I called out the dictator in the White House for attacking our military member @JasonCrowCO.

I know what’s at stake. I will keep fighting and I will never back down. @wanda4congress @Wanda4CU @ColoradoLeads @DeepNotShallow

@Me_Va1e_Madre @TorchAntifa @TPUSA Just seeing this now. Let me look into it.

[CU Regent Wanda James @Wanda4CU]

It was exciting to join @DenverChannel News with @JessicaDenver7. It is clear that CD1 is ready for new leadership. The energy and momentum are real and growing every day. Thank you to everyone who is watching, asking questions, and pushing for change.

When Democrats stand w/ MAGA Republicans, even @grok calls them out. CU has a real issue with Black leadership, but loves Black athletes, go figure. @CUSystem @CUToddSaliman

Every day when I look at social media, I see @pweiser out here in these streets fighting for the people. If @coloradodems want fighters, then lets elected fighters! #EducationFirst

[Team Phil @PhilForColorado]

Public education is the gateway to opportunity for all. It opens the door for every child– regardless of their background– to learn, grow, and succeed. That’s why we’re in court challenging the Trump administration’s illegal cuts to our education system.

Today is our beautiful boy’s 5th Birthday. We LOVE you so much, Malcolm. Thank you for coming into our lives and disrupting everything!

@ZachFOCO @DeepNotShallow @coloradodems @CUSystem Well you would be wrong again. Most of the folks who were working in DEI tended to be white women. And to be clear there are less than a handful, no where near 100 working in outreach. Perhaps you should do some basic research before posting.

[CU Regent Wanda James @Wanda4CU]

@ZachFOCO @DeepNotShallow @coloradodems Given that the entire @CUSystem has zero Black Vice Presidents, No Black Chancellors & only 2 in CU’s history, I am just wondering what facts on hiring you think you know?

[Deep Singh Badhesha @DeepNotShallow]

We must reject this vote and what it represents. We must defend the right to speak out, to challenge injustice, and to lead with principle. Our students, our communities, and our democracy deserve nothing less.

[Deep Singh Badhesha @DeepNotShallow]

If you care about CU. If you believe in racial justice. If you want students to have Regents who fight for them, not punish them. Then step up. We need leadership rooted in values, not appeasement. This moment is a test.

[Deep Singh Badhesha @DeepNotShallow]

I want to end by thanking Regent Nolbert Chavez for standing firm and voting against the censure. That is what courage and integrity look like.

[Deep Singh Badhesha @DeepNotShallow]

Without corrective action or further explanation, it would not surprise me if they face electoral challenges in the future. Denver and CD1 deserve representation on the Regents and grassroots Democrats should consider their options to rectify this.

[Deep Singh Badhesha @DeepNotShallow]

And I say this as someone who has supported Elliot Hood and Ilana Spiegel in the past. I reached out privately to them to express my concerns before speaking out publicly. I disagree with their reasoning and I’ve implored them to change their position.

[Deep Singh Badhesha @DeepNotShallow]

Regardless of political leanings, Regents must retain the right to speak freely. I strongly oppose many Republican Regents’ views, but I firmly support their right to express them. However, with this new precedent, Regents can only speak about whatever the majority allows.
