Addressing Denver’s homelessness and affordable housing crisis will be my top priority as Mayor.
I’m honored to have the endorsement of so many folks who are leading the city on tackling these issues, & excited to work together to make a real difference. mikejohnstonformayor.com/hou…

It wasn’t Sandy Hook that normalized children dying from mass shootings. It was Wounded Knee, Dec 29, 1890. — Let’s be honest. – at Los Angeles, CA

🧵#EastHighSchool: The SRO debate is a textbook example of the always tense relationship between what is considered good politics and good public policy. Politics is naturally reactive and we are seeing that played out right now in the aftermath of the East High shootings. 1/6

#HeyNext Commentary: East High School's second shooting in two months is a reminder that we are asking too much of young people and giving them too little in return.

It’s clear that “woke” is just another word for anything white people don’t like, agree with, or want to change. And that’s the problem with whiteness: it wants power in and over everything. It ain’t healthy or loving to be that bigoted and angry about everything.

Whiteness assigns corporate responsibility to every other people group for that groups perceived wrongs.
While
Refusing any kind of corporate responsibility for the wrongs of white people.
White people are individuals; People of color are a group.
This is how whiteness works.

Part of how whiteness works is:
1. Black people are held responsible for other Black people (i.e. 'what about Black on Black crime', etc)
but
2. If I say "white people have a white supremacy prob" it's assumed I'm talking about other white people not myself.
Do you see?

Thoughts about public space during Denver election season…
1) if you don’t want people peeing or pooping in public - make public restrooms widely available (24/7). Restroom access is as much about the potty training toddler/family as it is public urination/dedication. (1/5)

The most powerful tool of oppression is keeping you so busy with the daily struggle that you don’t have the time to connect all the dots and become truly enraged.

3rd places: home, work, someplace else. Maybe one of those places is @donsclubtavern (723 E Sixth Ave). That’s where we’re meeting tonight at 7pm
Check out the video here and let’s talk about what third places mean to you and to our friends on the street. xitter.cf/EladNehorai/status/157…

When the gospel is capitalistic, the greatest sin is being poor.
Flip that table.

“”I love you,” “I’m proud of you,” “I forgive you,” “I’m grateful for you.” That’s what eternity it made of: invisible imperishable, good stuff.”

Y'all ever seen this? It's the largest iconic display of the Middle Passage in the world, and it's in a church on the west side of Chicago.
