Elect a convicted felon as president. What could go wrong. (FAFO--and here we are).

The other cop pulled him off. In Colorado, since George Floyd, it is now illegal for another cop NOT to intervene if they see that kind of thing.

I'm 74 in Denver. During Black Lives Matter I wasn't well enough to go to big demonstrations. So a friend and I went across the street from our apartment building. We held up signs for the considerable traffic doing by, and sat on a nearby retaining wall as needed. I'll do it again for current situ.

He made it clear when he said, "I could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose any voters" that he wants violence and murder. But with others to do his dirty work. That's what he's going for.

More likely that right-wing agitators would infiltrate to do violence and get it blamed on peaceful protesters.

Thank you. I needed this. Although I am also watching, in breaks from the horrible news, tonight's (much less dramatic)sunset over the Rocky Mountains, which I can see from m 14th floor apartment.

It's a valid protest: "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot."

Unlike Musk and Trump, Scaramucci has a sense of humor about himself.

More like the grift that keeps on grifting.

Claiming it's for her safety--same thing ICE (with other Feds) are claiming about visiting immigrant children--unaccompanied minors who entered US. Another Orwellian doublespeak.

He's a libertarian. He's only liberal on social issues.

My pet peeve is "step foot" in the house or wherever. Step is an intransitive verb.

If this is what Musk thinks "efficiency" looks and feels like, it explains a lot.

My body can sense that I'm really stressed by the political situation, so it keeps waking me up at 3:30 to 4:30 AM, wide awake. I'm think it's trying to get me to tune in to the Worry Channel.

She said the quiet part out loud. She didn't lie and say that the cuts weren't going be horrific for people the way Trump would. Let's see now how the MAGA politicians respond to the media coverage of the actual truth.

There are actually evangelical preachers who are now preaching against too much or the "wrong kind" of empathy saying make you weak and let the devil in.

She said the quiet part out loud. They're perfectly fine with causing low-income people and seniors to die prematurely and may even welcome it. It's like the Lt. Gov. of Texas during covid saying seniors should sacrifice their lives for the sake of the economy.

And then there's the cruel response of Sen. Joni Ernst when someone at a town hall objected to the SNAP and Medicaid cuts by saying, "People will die."
Ernst replied, "We're all going to die." She really does not care.
But if she's so blase about death, let her go first.

And then there was my high school biology teacher who told me I asked too many questions because she only wanted to talk about what would be on the standardized test. If you encourage curiosity in kids and develop a love for learning, amazing what kids can do. Probably why Finland excels.

But are they against cutting Medicaid and SNAP, or are they demanding more cuts because, you know, the rich need more money but don't want a deficit?

Thanks. I needed that.

You article is an excellent summation of where we are and what we must do.

Deficit? Make the uber-rich pay their fair share. Problem solved.

Great quote for these times. Thank you. The Dylan song that most often comes to my mind these days is "With God on Our Side."

But this Tree Swallow, man. Just a glorious moment in the sun on an otherwise super cloudy day. And so much closer than I've ever been before! #birds 🧵
