Who else can be the icon for Western Colorado tenacity than the Latina housekeeper? And who else better represents our broken class-reality? We must applaud their resilience but grieve for what our region has done to a community.

Our community leader Hector Salas advocating for #RightsforResidents in the committee hearing for HB22-1287: Protections For Mobile Home Park Residents today! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[Rights For Residents @RFRColorado]

Hector Salas of @VocesUnidasFund talks about his family's experience living in a mobile home park.

"My parents deserve the right to sleep at night without worrying about rent increases," he says. "My parents deserve the right to live in their double-wide with dignity."

[Voces Unidas @VocesUnidasOrg]

We are now hearing from @GovofCoEspanol @GovofCO who emphasized the importance of legislators meeting with their constituents and hearing their stories. Our 300 Latino participants are motivated to start their lobby meetings for Latino Advocacy Day 💪🏽

“Mobile homeowners have seen a 71% increase in lot rent while only having a 37% in income growth. At worst, their lot rent’s price growth outpaces their income growth fourfold.”

No one has it worse than the mobile homeowners of Colorado

@bk23holman This is my favorite wordle account

[Appeal to Reason @TheNewAppeal]

Democrats are going to let the Supreme Court gut abortion rights and use it to fundraise and post useless tweets like this.

Ain’t Dead Monthly is my publication where I write about politics and power in Wester CO. Hopefully cute stuff too as not everything is so dire.

In 2001, a mass murder happened Rifle, CO. This tragedy aggravated racial wounds within Latino communities, compounded by an insanity acquittal pre-trial. Below, I detail the incident, the acquittal and its affects on the people closest to it.

Imagine, just for a moment what someone hears when she says there are “politicians with suicide belts strapped their body.” here and tell me how we aren’t supposed to be concerned or outraged by this.

[Gravel Institute @GravelInstitute]

Every single bill from Biden’s administration combined is still much less than just military spending alone.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

Seven years ago today, Tamir Rice was murdered.

He should still be with us. We must honor his life with action, organizing for racial justice and real accountability for law enforcement.

[AJ+ @ajplus]

Family of Anthony Huber, one of the people Kyle Rittenhouse killed, said the not guilty verdict: "sends the unacceptable message that armed civilians can show up in any town, incite violence, and then use the danger they have created to justify shooting people in the street."

@3509Triston Stop the count. This poll has been spoiled by rampant voter fraud and misinformation.

I’m back for my yearly American Sniper review. Was planning an in-depth article behind my feelings on the film but Tweet is more haha funny funny. 0/10.

[Hec @SalasBackwards]

At least this slow crawl towards American fascism is entertaining to watch.

Never seen it once @prodigalsonfox

[Hec @SalasBackwards]

This was bait @prodigalsonfox. I’m sad you didn’t take it.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

I am once again asking you to wear a mask.

I distinctly remember every other week in 2017 being Shark Week.
