I first met Daniel when he reached out about accessing gender-affirming healthcare. He had recently celebrated his top surgery anniversary.

These are the five LGBTQ folks who were brutally gunned down in Colorado Springs.

saved my life growing up. After being disowned by my own family, I was able to find peace and joy in creating my own chosen family from LGBTQ spaces. Spaces that we go to so we don’t have to be afraid of being ourselves.
Y’all.
I’ve been to a lot of Presidential events over the years. The excitement that folks had in Denver for
@PeteButtigieg
tonight was crazy.

Ummmmm.
Yeah.
This is not okay.
With 41% of nonbinary, trans, and genderqueer Coloradans having thoughts of suicide, the last thing
#LGBTQ
folks need is to deal with their congresswoman being a cyber bully.

Thinking of the LGBTQ youth who will stay in the closet because of what they hear their family say today.
I remember what was said during Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.
I remember what was said when Ryan White died of AIDS.
I remember when Matthew Shepard was murdered.
Colorado may be a blueish-purple state AND you have to put in the work.
The messaging was messy and lazy. Stop hiring your buddies to do the work. People want to be able to provide for and protect one’s families.
It’s really not that hard. If Ohio can do it, so can Colorado.
Thank you to all the
#LGBTQ
journalists and reporters who had to ‘objectively cover’ a mass shooting at a queer club. It has not gone unnoticed when you say “our community” during your coverage 💜
Seriously. Mad props to
@BriannaForHD27
and
@sonyajlewis
for sitting through this transphobic and homophobic bullshit. Guess what - being queer and being a person of faith are not exclusionary of each other. My Catholic education didn’t teach me hate

Was at the Southern Colorado Equality Alliance Dinner tonight. Heard from teenagers in southern, rural Colorado talk about how a youth group saved their lives by providing a safe, affirming space. It’s good to be reminded that not everyone has the same experiences.
LET ME BE PERFECTLY FUCKING CLEAR -
The LGBTQ Coloradans, their families, and their allies are not hear today “playing victim”. We are here today to protect ourselves and our youth.

This is a big fucking deal. Legislative aides and campaign staff are often overworked and underpaid, without healthcare or other benefits, for short-term marathons, expected to put in however many hours it takes to get the job done.

Aides at the Colorado Capitol earn low wages and don’t get health care, so they’re organizing a union for themselves and others, including campaign staffers.
I’m not surprised SCOTUS sides with our country’s distorted backbone of systemic racism, as they have undoubtedly benefited from it.
Read Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent.
This aired on 60 stations in 42 media markets tonight, cementing

You might say the criminal justice system is broken, when in fact, it's working exactly as it was designed to function - to uphold systems of white supremacy and oppress poor people of color.

I filed for unemployment on March 24th. My application was processed and approved today, and I received payment for my first two weeks. Hopefully I’ll sleep a little easier tonight.

Went to King Soopers today at 120th and Sheridan. There were folks sharing pens and clipboards and not socially distancing by 6 feet to collect signatures for Initiative 120. How is this not a public safety hazard?

When your government is lying and spreading hate about you, trying to erase your existence, you gotta take the time to remember what we’re fighting for once in a while. Just wrapped a week-long kayak trip across Colorado. Recharged!
I am looking forward to the stories from

journalists on how this came to be:
- Brown folks influencing redistricting maps;
- Exceptional candidates like
@YadiraCaraveo
stepping up to run;
- A badass diverse team that brought it all home.

“Due to the special legislative session, counties will be sending out tax bills a few weeks later than previous years,” Treasury spokesperson Sheena Kadi stated. “Homeowners will need to wait until they have received that from their county to apply.”
