5/1/18 review of interview between Brother Jeff and Saira Rao

Here is the link to my May 1, 2018, Twitter thread review of an interview between Denver community leader Brother Jeff Fard and Saira Sameera Rao, who at the time was running in the Democratic primary for Colorado's US Congressional District 1 seat.

Twitter's platform has twisted each of my threads out of chronological order through 2018 and 2019. This thread is affected and is not very coherent. My apologies.

At this time, Saira Rao was really nice to me -- or, really, to my Twitter profile -- not to my physical presence in real life.

However, as 2018 progressed, especially following the primaries, Rao was less than nice to me. It really hurt my feelings, for a lot of reasons.

I prefer to remember this interview for what it was, and for the hope I had for Rao. At the same time, I still feel pretty upset that Rao ended up not being very nice to me -- i.e. my Twitter profile.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.








5/1/18 review of interview between Brother Jeff Fard and Represenative Joe Salazar

Here is the link to my May 1, 2018, Twitter thread review of the interview between Denver community leader Brother Jeff Fard and State Representative Joe Salazar, who was then running for Colorado Attorney General.

Twitter's platform has twisted each of my threads through 2018 and 2019 out of chronological order. This thread is affected, but is still moderately coherent. My apologies.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.

4/3/18 review of Brother Jeff talk with Mike Johnston

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of a talk then-gubernatorial candidate Mike Johnston did with Brother Jeff Fard in April of 2018.

The thread gives some background on Mike Johnston and on Brother Jeff. The thread discusses some of the talk's topics, like the Me Too movement in Colorado, Colorado's proposed right to rest law, affordable housing in Colorado, PACs and political campaigns, gun violence, schools and education, the influx of new Colorado residents, and what issues Johnston thought were of the most importance for black Coloradans.

1/31/15 review of Denver community hearing on race, policing, and justice

Here is the link to a Twitter thread on Denver's January 2015 community hearing on race, policing, and justice.

This event was held by Denver's Shorter AME Church and Brother Jeff's Cultural Center. The meeting was held after the police shot and killed an unarmed LGBTQ girl, Jessie Hernandez. The meeting brought together the police, politicians, and residents from all around Denver. The hope was to create a place of discussion and a start for reconciliation.

I'm really disappointed in myself, because I did not mention Jessie Hernandez's name in the entire thread. Strange. Here is a link to one Denver Post article about her.

Brother Jeff is one of Denver's best community leaders. Here's a link to his website.
