TUNE IN: sg001-harmony.sliq.net/00327/Harmony/…
@baconforco discusses the bill as well - who represents D7, and how much transit has mattered to #students #youngpeople and #workingparents and how much #CleanAir matters to her constituents #copolitics

Follow the bill! leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb23-1101🔥
@VigilForHD16 gives us a lesson on group level o-zone - "which is a combination of heat and toxins, and they mostly come from oil and gas operations - and then transportation is the next big one" #copolitics

You will want a lot of Stanley Degreaser. Just fill a garbage barrel with water and degreaser. Put your stuff in it and let it soak. After 20 minutes or so, you can wipe away the smoke and your glasses, plates, etc will be fine

Whole bunch of fire and smoke maps from a friend in California, who's on constant alert for fast evacuation:
