Wild that Cyber Trucks are trash, SpaceX rockets are exploding all over, and X is a broken shit heap. Wonder if there’s anything in common.

With this and many other things, the time to decide what you are going to do, how you will act, where lines will be drawn is long before you have to actually do it. This is not a time for crossing that bridge when you come to it.

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them." It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.

NEW: Broomfield-based Maxar tells 9NEWS that the Trump administration has "decided to temporarily suspend" Ukrainian access to the company's satellite imaging services. Maxar says the imagery is "tasked and collected" by the US government, and therefore controls its use.

My Dem Governor gets his tax advice from Art Laffer, who was one of Reagan’s closest advisors. My state is bound by Reagan brainchild that is TABOR. My state is experiencing massive cuts, hitting most govt program areas. I’m so disgusted by Dems who love Reagan, they continue to cause so much harm

If you're an REI member, you can vote to toss out the board that's endorsed Trump's candidate for Dept. of Interior and has worked to stop REI unions. Vote runs until May 2nd. Spread the word. vote.escvote.com/REI/

The more I think about it, there really is just one wrong answer for how Democrats should respond to Trump tonight: act like it's normal. Boycott, walk out, turn your back, heckle, host competing programming all have benefits & drawbacks. But it's gotta be something definitive & visible.

On my lunch break today, I walked over to NOAA for this protest. It hadn't been well advertised, so I was surprised at how big it was. It went well beyond the edges of my photos. (Also, check the literal storm clouds over the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.)

If, like me, you don't know where "Durango" is or the "Dolores Public Library" or who Jeff Hurd is, this is Colorado. A super annoying thing that happens now is you go to a news site and there's no mention of a state. 5 clicks to find an address. That's why it helps for a poster to mention a state.

Paramount— the company that was built on the backs of women, socialists, and civil rights activists and leaders— is now doing this. So, until they reverse course on this and acknowledge their mistake, fuck Paramount.

There are a few places in this country that serve as testing grounds for conservative tactics, places where you can see the future before it arrives elsewhere. Coeur D'Alene, Idaho is one of those places -- I've written about it before This video should scare the absolute shit out of everyone

Costco and Trader Joes are yin and yang. Together they form a harmonious balance. One sells big piles of normal food, the other sells small piles of weird food. These are the two food piles people need

Steve Bannon was applauded at CPAC after he gave a Nazi salute followed by an “amen.” Elon gave one too. Believe your own eyes & ears. Conservatives have aligned themselves with the ideology that used gas chambers to murder millions.

No, the mail is not “the least of our worries.” It’s a fucking important worry. It is the only postal service that delivers to every address. They are only provider of complete mail services for overseas military bases and provide free overseas PO boxes. They help prepare passport apps. Ship meds…
