“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” Night reflection in light of invasion.

@cologop @KyleClark You and your organization… WHEN YOU DO THIS.. perpetuate hate & inspire violence. You show yourselves to be fundamental extremists akin to those that used a radicalized version of their faith to incite terrorism & violence abroad. In wake of club Q shooting no less!

If Donald Trump becomes president again, it wouldn't be as bad as it was last time. It would be much, much worse. Read about his plans, as he describes them in new TIME interviews, and take them seriously.

Still here on the house floor making sure we protect reproductive choice, abortive care, and a pregnant person’s right to choose! ✊🏽🙌🏽🇺🇸♿️ We’ll be here as long as it takes to enshrine the constitutionally protected rights in statute that are under threat. #PassRHEANow #coleg

Hearing @COHouseGOP members come to the well & say that they don’t know what’s in SB213 AFTER REQUESTING TO HAVE IT READ AT LENGTH (3+ hours) demostrares how little they care. If you didn’t understand you should have stayed in the chamber while it was being read. #COLeg

@jeffhunt Actually you can use CORA to figure out how any elected is communicating with anyone under any requested topic of the people’s work. Find out more. CO voters clearly tired of unfounded conspiracy theories like this from y’all. #copolitics

So shameful that there were veterans, including a retired LTC... Air Force academy grad, at the insurrection. Their benefits should be stripped and they should have the full weight of the law thrown at them.

Democrats… we gotta do better. On a panel touting 1sts and spoke about #ableism & lack of #BasicAccess AND HAD a person come up to me stating she doesn’t see my disability. She only sees my ability. That’s exactly the same energy as “I don’t see color” & reinforces ableism.

From Columbine, Arapahoe High, and STEM school shootings; #HD38 and surrounding families have seen the toll gun violence takes on our communities. Thankfully, today CO Dems are fighting to make real change, introducing a package of #GunViolencePrevention bills. #coleg

@RepBoebert No surprise that a trash seditious bigoted clown like you can’t recognize how US aide has been VITAL to beat back Russian oppression by tyrant #PutinWarCriminal . You’re nothing but a useful idiot helping to push Russian interests and hurt free democracies everywhere.

Receiving a Purple Heart is NOT a free pass to commit crimes! Vets, rightfully so, have own specialized treatment courts to forego being imprisoned when mental healthcare will rehabilitate. BUT military honors do NOT = immunity from criminal behavior & personal responsibility

Extremely disgusted & disappointed by behavior of one particular colleague, Rep Bradley. We are supposed to represent the best in CO. Fine line between push back & accountability VS inciting violence & threats against your colleagues. She crossed it.

#GOP ask for the bill to be read at length and not a single one sticks around to hear it. They don’t want to govern, #HD38 . They’re just looking to waste everyone’s time. Fine.. Team Dem will STILL get the good work of the people done. #coleg

Had similar upbringing. Catholic, went to church. Scholarship to private Catholic uni. Didn’t see pride flags or representation until adulthood. I’m bi. I’ve always been bi. Only thing representation, love, & support does is reflect the goodness in your soul. #HappyPrideMonth

Shout out to the #DenverVA for repairing my all terrain chair, especially since winter is upon us. My non-vet disabled brothers and sisters do NOT have access to this kind of repair service.. which is why “Right to Repair” is something worth working on and passing. #coleg

Don’t know how to take this… I’m parked in accessible spot NEXT TO A COMPLETELY ABLED BODIED guy in his 30s with NO mobility device with a handicap hanger. THEN a staffer comes up to ME (not him) and asks me if I’m staying here and why? Placard & chair not clue enough? ♿️👎🏽

I’m gonna say the thing we are all thinking as democrats. That was earth shatteringly bad… really really really bad. We say it’s the most important election of our lifetimes, but if we don’t at least consider another candidate, then do we even mean it?
