Would love a fully multimodal, housed Colorado Springs.
I cannot spell/proofread.
Follow on Instagram @CSCarsKill highlighting El Paso County, CO's state leading traffic fatalities (sadly) and @BeautifulColoradoSprings highlighting ways we can fix our roads and honor Colorado Springs' beauty.
They/Them, probably somewhere on the spectrum

Banning choice was never ever about anything but abusing women and children.
@Dahlialith@mstdn.social and Mark Joseph Stern wrote this article about the horrific Texas case and showing how Texas abortion laws are another tool for abusers to abuse their partners.

“The next weeks and months are going to tell us an awful lot about what happens when women who have been insulted and ignored repeatedly by the courts rise up to organize and vote, only to learn they are being boxed out of the voting booth as well.”

10 people killed and 10 injured at a dance studio during the Lunar New Year celebration in Monterey Park.
The killer is still at large, there may be a connected incident in Alhambra.
Ban guns and fuck racism.
Fuck Trump for lying about Covid and continuing to make people pay with their lives.

Biden's kind of on fire tonight.
When posting #USNews #Policy post a link to original reporting.
Use a primary source.
Not an article summarizing another article.
This is one of the biggest things I miss from twitter, being able to follow a bunch of reporters and news sources that link to contemporaneous news reports, in depth investigative journalism, and journals.
I feel like I'm getting stupider on here. Less up to date on what's going on. This was my biggest fear of #Musk buying twitter.
And it's happening.
@FckTheNorm@mastodon.social Why do we care how archeologists hundreds of years from now gender a skeleton? It's about how living people are treated now and respecting their lived experience.
For example archeologists may not be able to identify that you're a troll but everyone here can.
What neurotypical people don't realize while being upset by people on the spectrum is that they're just as offensive and upsetting.
I don't want to hear your feedback on my core personality and I'm not going to change it for you.
I can't change who I am.
I went to 20+ years of school, it's not going to happen.
The idea that something can't win because it's bad is a useless argument.
History has proven time and time again that dumb bad things win all the time.
Fighting for policy and basic human rights is the best way to proactively address bad stuff.
Doesn't mean we'll win because our moral argument is better but because there was energy & strategy to stop terrible stuff.
And it still doesnt mean we have the power to change anything.
A fun quiz from @Dahlialith@mstdn.social to determine what level of authoritarianism is right for you:
"Kyrsten Sinema spent more than $100K in campaign cash on jets, limos, luxury hotels and wine"
"In August, Sinema squashed a challenge to the “carried-interest” loophole that taxes private equity and hedge fund profits at a lower rate than other businesses. The move benefits only a handful of private-equity and hedge fund titans — most of whom are in New York and LA not Arizona which Sinema is supposed to represent. "

This whole Trump may or may not be arrested feel’s very Politico and horse race like.
Until he’s arrested not interested and it’s a waste of energy.#uspolitics
"He Said He Was Falsely Accused of Sexual Harassment. Now This Ex-Republican Official Allegedly Dismembered His Fiancée"
“The blunt truth is that SCOTUS can invalidate Biden’s plan only by shamelessly scrapping everything it has said about standing over the past half century for the one-time purpose of sticking it to Biden. It must, in effect, declare that student debt relief is so unconscionable that, to conquer it, the court must suspend the legal rules that apply to everybody else.”
