This is Chester. He is so good at piano he can play it in his sleep. In fact, he can only play it in his sleep. 13/10

Phone calls and emails work! Keep calling and writing, folks!

They’re trying to erase the trans community. 🏳️‍⚧️ The GOP is fucking evil.

The debut of Colorado Today— the new daily podcast from CPR News that gets you up to speed in 15 minutes or less:

Zelenskyy when he was a child with a bicycle is the kind of content everyone needs to see right now. 💪🇺🇦

Putin’s Puppet

Hail to the thief. Using the money they stole from us by illegally cancelling government programs to pump cryptocurrency

🚨 PSA for Protesters 🚨

These protests almost make me wish we had a Tesla dealership in Denver. Almost.

I love that Michael bikes and so awesome to hear him hit back about assertions that a community in the US could possibly install bike lanes and sidewalks in 10 months with just $750,000. @michaelhobbes.bsky.social

Go, Vermont!!

BREAKING: Federal judge issues preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of parts of two of Trump’s anti-trans executive orders (orders defining “sex” and restricting gender-affirming medical care) in Washington, Colorado, Minnesota, and Oregon. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-tran...

I used the name Badass Lesbian and got this 🤣

But women are too emotional to be leaders, says the party who supports a narcissistic bully who yells at our allies because they won’t kiss the ring and praise his hero, Putin.

We live in the world where cycling to grab lunch is more surprising than driving to walk on the treadmill.

Recommendations for a credit union in Denver? I’d love to get out from corporate banking.

Sorry but I’m with @samsteindc.bsky.social. This isn’t “in response” to the Oval meeting. They had all of this pre-planned and ready to roll out. Trump and Vance instigated the Oval confrontation to justify it.

🤣

Escaping the political shit show with a visit to the optometrist, finally getting my COVID booster before brain worm makes vaccines illegal, and now wandering the botanic gardens.

We should stop using the word "strongman" in politics and return to using the word "bully".

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022.  The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion.  Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States of America. His presence in the Oval Office is a stain on the legacy of this country.

OMG

Trump and Vance would NEVER, EVER, talk to Putin like that. And everyone knows it.

NEW EPISODE! "Trump v. Congestion Pricing." Congestion pricing is under attack by Trump & DOT Secretary Sean Duffy. Can they cancel the tolling program? Can Kathy Hochul save it and fight fascism? @davecolon.bsky.social from @nyc.streetsblog.org joins us to discuss. thewaroncars.org/2025/02/27/e...

The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach. www.tsunami.gov

“They’ve been hinting at this for quite a while,” Di Liberto said. “You see what’s happened in other agencies to science and scientists, where they are basically just trying to get rid of everybody.” www.cpr.org/2025/02/27/f... via @sambrasch.bsky.social & @ishan-thakore.bsky.social #copolitics

Tesla lost enough value today that it could have fully funded USAID for a year.

Republicans are so fucking stupid.

Report #1 submitted. More good trouble to come!

Corgi break

Reminder weather balloon data gets directly fed into computer models. Less balloons = less data = less forecast model accuracy. And, of course, fewer NWS meteorologists = fewer eyes on the weather. A sad day for American and global meteorology.

1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired. This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all. Subscribe to support my journalism.
