one thing you never want to have to realize is that you were really underestimating the number of pedophiles

Schumer and Jeffries negotiating to limit the number of journalist arrested by the Department of Justice each year to a maximum of 20.

Streets are public spaces, and everyone has a right to be safe in that space. No one should fear violence on our streets, whether from cars or from our own government. Join the @denverbicyclelobby.bsky.social on a Ride for Alex Pretti this Saturday.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

“Projects that used union labor had lower costs overall as well as better cost and schedule predictability. Although many factors go into project success, the difference between union and open shop labor comes down to better productivity for union labor.” www.ipaglobal.com/news/article...

The best kinds of football games are the ones where nobody moves the ball in a blizzard and 75% of the commentary is the guys saying “these conditions”

Trying to look on the bright side of things today. For example, if there is a civil war, I don’t need to file taxes anymore.

i’ll get right on that

Indiana? The football school?

Kind of ominous. What does she have planned with her pyrotechnics?

The real controversy in the Bills/Broncos game is why the refs missed this holding.

Some feather earrings with feathers provided by my hens

Is this why Scott Hastings hasn't been on my tv lately

Diana DeGette, the 30-year incumbent I’m challenging in Denver, voted yes on this. Yes to funding a regime change war in Venezuela. Yes to $3.3B in Foreign Military Financing to Israel. Yes to helping billionaires evade tax enforcement from the IRS.

Give money to actual grassroots organizations that do the work.

Somebody at the Broncos office should call Tom Brady

Jarrett Stidham rn:

Frank Crum ran a 4.94 40 at 6’8 310 which is nuts. More importantly here is a picture of him doing it

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

I'm suspecting people empowered by the state to roam around with guns are doing exactly what they're trained to do with them.

Ah who am I kidding. Morant is going to wind up with the Celtics or Lakers

I think the Nuggets should make a deal for Morant. I know he ran into some legal trouble in Denver but it can also be a redeeming place. A universe righting itself.

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

"hated Hulk Hogan" turning out to be a useful marker of allies in times of trouble

Ok I’ll bite. What is “narcoterrorism”?

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.

I used to think X had no public utility but it is developing into some sort of monument to billionaire hubris. It's a living museum of paranoiac mania, a Grey Gardens situation.

READ IT AGAIN: SECOND. EVER.

Walking through a cemetery in Mexico and this angel keeps flipping me off and shushing me

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Although Tom Ragsdale’s oil companies owe New Mexico more than $3.5 million for pollution and unpaid fees, the state has recovered only about $50,000. Drillers across the industry have employed similar tactics in what is known as “the playbook.” (Published Dec. 2024)

Tough day to be a squirrel in 100mph winds in Colorado.

This weekend was panic inducing. Feels fake to get into a holiday spirit right now but trying to find things I’m grateful for. Im grateful for the man that stopped the shooting at Bondi, the people protecting their neighbors in Chicago and a Broncos victory.
