Railroad unions and management reached a tentative deal, averting a strike that had threatened to cripple US supply chains and push prices higher for many goods. CNN's Christine Romans and Rahel Solomon explain why the demands from unions reflect the state of the economy.

Full letter sent by @MayorHancock to Douglas County officials after they discussed taking Daniels Park from Denver. "It would be a disservice to the communities we represent to create the false impression that the status
of Daniels Park is a matter up for discussion. It is not."

So this teacher in Portland just started organizing these rides to school, and holy hell this looks like a success.
Would love to see some enterprising teacher in Denver try this - what a great thing for kids and a powerful message to city leaders.
Reflecting on how successful the #BikeBus has been in a short amount of time, I remind myself that no one asked me to do this. Not a single parent, student or teacher. I knew it would be positive for the school community & my g-d have they shown up.
It is so senseless. Breaks my heart.

When these happen, I have to keep looking and listening until I find the moment that breaks me. This is it. His utter decency and absolute heartbreak. I can’t stop crying and that fury and suffering frees us to be reckless with courage. Don’t look away. That is when we give up.

NEW: Former State Senator Gloria Tanner has died. The Democrat from Denver was the first African-American woman elected to the Colorado Senate and a legend in state politics who developed an institute to train Black women for leadership roles. #copolitics
It sums up how @CandiCdeBacaD9 has approached her job on council. She is loud but ultimately ineffective.
NEW: As Denver redraws districts, there's conflict.
Four members of council have collectively authored an op-ed in response to a meme posted by @CandiCdeBacaD9.
They call her reference to "malinchestrong" "deeply offensive, frustrating, and damaging."

Only in #Candiland would a Latina elected official @CandiCdeBacaD9 support someone calling 4 other elected Latinas 'traitor to their race' and then seem shocked when those same elected officials don't support her redistricting map. #escapeCandiland

#VotingRightsAct for now we have the most secure elections in the country. A federal voting rights law is needed to ensure all residents in all states have equal access to vote.
