And all the time consuming news of the us election and perspectives (shout out @Timodc) about how immigration is one of the key issue of the election. But still I see such a one-sided narrative on all sides that’s just focused on immigrants now and not to the future

@brhodes hey! Lifelong dem, Mexican-born naturalized citizen here. I have thoroughly enjoyed and listened to psa and psw since 2016 and just finished your first special for the election. Great episode but one question - why wasn’t Mexico brought up?

School districts are terribly underfunded, and HB 1162 is nothing more than a mandate on school districts that they cannot afford. We need to take care of our schools and children, not add more stress to them. #coleg

Happy that these legislators have listened to the concerns of Whole Foods shoppers. How about our poorest and most vulnerable who don’t have reusable bags? How about mom and pop restaurants that this plastic ban will tip them over? #coleg

Over 80% of Colorado voters know this will negatively impact restaurants, and 60% just straight up oppose a plastic ban. What are these politicians thinking? bizjournals.com/denver/news/20… #coleg

HB 1162 would cost schools $5 million a year, without giving them any support to transition to more expensive materials. Is this plastic bag really thought out? #coleg

Yes, plastics are a problem in our community, but a major problem is the lack of a recycling infrastructure in Colorado. Our recycling rates have been declining, and we need to make sure our state is set up to be a leader in recycables. #coleg

@panderings @SierraDC @KishanForDC Why did @SierraDC RT this when it’s their forum..? Solution: don’t supply paper cups.

.@KishanForDC is drinking from a paper cup too now. But he's trying to be discreet about it by having the cup on the floor behind him and not on the table. #Ward2EnviroForum Now at 50% paper cup use.

Listening to John Townsend testify for AAA Mid-Atlantic at the #VZHearingDC, I'm tempted to find that @WCP article again where he himself is a terrible, dangerous driver.

@cuneytdil I actually believe that greed-based motivators (such as material resources or economic opportunity) are better predictors for political and social unrest. Usually, the ideology/grievance-based argument is used as a cover or as a recruitment tool. Still, crazy times we live in
