Today thousands of us came together in downtown Boulder to say with one voice, the United States has No Kings! The energy of the crowd was strong as we pushed back against the illegal and immoral acts of the Trump Administration.

I am saddened and outraged at the appalling attack on members of Boulder's Jewish community that happened today during a peaceful gathering on Pearl Street. My heart goes out to the victims and their families and all who were impacted by this tragic incident.

We protested today at NIST and NOAA about all the illegal, unethical, and just downright foolish actions the administration is taking. So inspiring to see thousands of people coming together on May Day to support Federal workers, unions, trans rights, and everyone that's suffering right now!

Yesterday was a dream come true as the Sundance Film Festival announced it is moving to Boulder!!! Starting in 2027 the storied showcase for independent films will have the Flatirons for its backdrop, and for ten days Boulder will be at the heart of American moviedom. What an incredible honor!

I enjoyed a wintry walk on Saturday with the Boulder Ramblers and their fearless leader Darcy as part of Winter Bike and Walk week! It was a delightful outing despite the cold, and the fresh falling snow made for a truly memorable and beautiful experience. It's always a good day for a walk!

@aaronbrockett12.bsky.social thank you for your testimony in support of SB25-003!
Boulder, CO mayor is speaking now in favor of SB25-003. Reminding everyone that’s the weapon used in the King Sooper mass shooting would no longer be able to be sold if this bill passes. Had that shooter needed to reload, lives could have been saved.

I testified at the Colorado state legislature today in favor of SB25-003, which would ban semiautomatic guns with detachable magazines. If this had been the law in 2020, the King Soopers shooter couldn’t have purchased the firearm that enabled him to kill 10 of our neighbors on that dark day. 1/

US #climate action is far bigger than the feds.

Boulder has a competition each year where local students name all of our city snowplows. The winners are in and they are super cute! My favorite is CTRL-SALT-DELETE, but Say it Ain’t Snow is close behind 😂❄️
