I just got a call from my mother. She’s in a nursing home and has been feeling pretty blue recently.

“Les, did you see that? It happened. Today is a good day. ”

I could hear the pride and excitement in her voice. Today is a good day indeed.

Happy Black History Month!
We stand where we are because of brave African American trailblazers that came before us. We must remember their vision, courage, and determination to continue the pathway forward. Our Journey is not over. #BlackHistoryMonth

We just sent our bill to limit the use of ketamine to the Gov’s office!! Law enforcement should never be making medical decisions or directing the use of Ketamine, but it’s happening. Our bill codifies this reality & holds officers accountable for their actions @YadiraCaraveo

[Senator James Coleman @ColemanforCO]

Honored and privileged to stand behind @AnnaJoHaynes2 as @GovofCO, @SenJanetBuckner, @EmilyForCO and @AlecGarnett introduce the Anna Jo Haynes Early Education Bill today. Congratulations to one of my mentor, family and North Star.

[Janet Buckner @SenJanetBuckner]

Today we unveiled our early childhood plan! This legislation takes important steps to...
✅ Expand access to early childhood opportunities
✅ Support parents in accessing programs & services
✅ Promote equitable delivery of resources

This is what I have to deal with Every. Damn. Day. #onwepress

[Jovan Melton @JovanMelton]

To see my friend @leslieherod treated with out right disrespect floors me. I've know Leslie for 20 years, and even through professional disagreements, I would never even think to say the things said about her. Where's the humanity and reason? This needs to stop! #StandWithLeslie

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Ready to serve.

DC could still be a state bc the Constitution says the “seat of government” can’t be in a state. The “Seat of Government” is the Capitol, the Supreme Ct, and the White House. If those properties are drawn out on the map, then DC can become a state which passed the house last year

@speakercarroll Statehood! Period

[Jovan Melton @JovanMelton]

I call on the Colorado General Assembly to pass a resolution as their first act to support @VP enacting the #25thAmendment to get @realDonaldTrump out of office or #Congress to #impeach him a second time if it’s not already done by the time session starts. #coleg #copolitics

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

We did it, @JoeBiden.

Despite numerous attempts to discredit and smear our work, the vast majority of Coloradans SUPPORT our reform efforts

“More than two-thirds of respondents — 69% — said they approve of Senate Bill 217, a sweeping police reform measure passed into law by the state legislature” ✊🏿

[Jena Griswold @JenaGriswold]

I’ll always stand proudly with the @COblackcaucus against voter suppression.

Thank you for your leadership @leslieherod @repjanetbuckner @SenRhondaFields @repjamescoleman @JovanMelton @TonyExum @Jackson4CO.

[Jovan Melton @JovanMelton]

I’m proud to stand with leaders in @COblackcaucus against this president’s attempts to suppress the vote by blocking Vote-By-Mail. #WeWillVote #coleg #copolitics @leslieherod @repjanetbuckner @Jackson4CO @SenRhondaFields @repjamescoleman @TonyExum

In the face of a devastating pandemic, we must have a safe and secure method of voting. We will not stand for any form of voter suppression, including attacks on the USPS. #WeWillVote

[Jovan Melton @JovanMelton]

This is insane.

Pray for folks on the streets in Kenosha tonight. #KenoshaProtests #KenoshaRiot

In this video from @BGOnTheScene, protesters chase down a suspected shooter, but he manages to get some shots off. This is graphic.
