So I turned 50 today. At this age, you’ll be very lucky to have as many years ahead of you as behind. I’m so grateful for my many blessings - a wonderful family, dear friends, our extraordinary community, and so much more. I appreciate all of you that travel this path with us.💜

Incredibly disappointing news tonight about SB 273 being killed. So many people worked on it so hard, and it would have made real progress on criminal justice reform, racial equity, and decriminalization of poverty.

The death of SB 273 is a huge blow in the fight for racial justice and to end the criminalization of poverty. @COHouseDem We have to do better. #coleg #copolitics

We said goodbye to our beloved dog Pepper yesterday. We adopted him from the Humane Society 11 years ago and he's been a fixture of the family ever since. His passing leaves a huge hole in our lives, but adopting him was one of the best things we've ever done. Miss you buddy ❤️💔

It was an incredible honor to be sworn in on Thursday as Boulder’s first directly elected mayor in a century. I’m so grateful to all of our volunteers and supporters, and most of all to my family who supported me every step of the way. Excited to get back to work for Boulder!

Good news for the CU Board of Regents tonight! Wins by phenomenal candidates @Callie4CURegent and @ilana4regent mean Dems will have a majority of Regent seats for the first time in 40 years and can bring a new era of fairness, transparency, and inclusion to the board.

Thrilled to see CDOT decline to spend 1.5 billion on widening I-25 in central Denver and instead focus the money, land and effort on increasing transit options!

Highway officials have given up on adding lanes to unclog I-25 through central Denver for now — and maybe for good. (Via @mboothdenver )

Yay for $916 million in public transit funding in Colorado! But it’s only a quarter of the amount for highways, and with the climate crisis, the ratio should be reversed.

Somehow we’re being targeted here in Boulder by a national anti-drag/trans organization. Let’s be clear - there is nothing sexualized about drag queen story hour. It’s just a fun event with a children’s book being read by someone in women’s clothes.

We have an update from the @boulderlibrary and Mayor of @cityofboulderCO @AaronBrockett12 . They are proud to take part in the indoctrination and sexualization of children. They are proud that in the name of being "inclusive" and giving people a choice, they have not once thought

Appreciate the @dailycamera 's support for occupancy limit reform! From @GJVGarrison : "allowing for a new roommate here or there would provide tenants across the city with more options, while also helping some renters alleviate the burdensome cost of rent."

Editorial: Increasing occupancy limits is one piece of the housing crisis puzzle

Expanding Boulder’s occupancy limits is not the solution to our housing crisis. But, it can be a piece of the puzzle. It can be part of the patchwork of initiatives that will help make our fair cit…

I strongly believe that it's an obligation for all white folks to educate ourselves about the history of racial discrimination in our country, to acknowledge the continuing advantages of white privilege, and to work to eliminate structural and systemic racism. 1/

Had a wonderful tour with @vcp_longmont today of their tiny home village in Longmont. At buildout they’ll have housing for 26 veterans experiencing homelessness, and 5 have already moved in and gotten off the streets. It’s a fantastic project and we need more like it!

I’m officially on the ballot for Boulder City Council! Thanks to everyone for coming out today and signing the petition. Right after the gathering an extraordinary double rainbow appeared in the skies. That’s what I call a positive omen! 🌈
