The most ironic thing is that every penny that ordinary people pay is real money: food is more expensive, daily necessities are more expensive, gasoline is more expensive. But this money is not being transformed into better public services, roads, schools, or healthcare.

This photo was taken by Cheney Orr, who is actually starting at The Colorado Sun mid month! Very excited to have him on board. coloradosun.bluelena.io/lt.php?x=4lZ...

As many communities continue to face wildfire danger, please celebrate responsibly, follow local fire restrictions, and thank the firefighters, first responders, and emergency personnel working through the holiday to keep Colorado safe.

Wishing all Coloradans a happy and safe Fourth of July weekend. Whether you're celebrating at the Greeley Stampede, cheering on the Rockies at Coors Field, or heading to a local parade or festival, I hope you're able to spend time with family, friends, and loved ones this holiday weekend.

The left has no shortage of racism at play in intraparty dynamics but to focus on what seems to be limited evidence for racism as part of critiques of Jeffries from the left (esp in NYC), and ignore the absolutely bonkers levels of racism from the GOP directed at him as part of "critiques"....🙄

Democrats' new strategy in Colorado: Tie every Republican to Victor Marx in addition to Donald Trump. #copolitics

The money will go directly towards VoteRiders and the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, so this auction will get him mad both coming and going.

Your reminder that I will be giving a talk entitled "Samuel Alito is a whiny pissbaby" and for $20, you can attend. For an additional $20, you can get a friend in on it. If we pass 500 seats sold, we'll have two seatings of the talk.

If Sam Alito pays his taxes on April 14th, but the IRS doesn’t actually process the payment until April 19th, he must go to prison

I say this with some ill will and animosity - run candidates and develop platforms that are meaningfully connected to creating a world where all of us can survive and thrive, or watch the party become either increasingly irrelevant or fundamentally different.

Summer Solstice captured from Stonehenge yesterday. At first light, the sun climbed up behind the Heel Stone and threaded itself straight through the center of Stonehenge exactly where the builders aimed it nearly 5,000 years ago. Ethereal Earth on FB

Happy Father’s Day, New York City!

This year, we’re celebrating some of New York’s Dads whose children followed them into service as City workers. 

From Sanitation to Education to FDNY, these families keep our City running. Pictured: Captain Felix Valentin and Firefighter Stephanie Valentin.

Nice mind you got there. Be a shame if someone went and boggled it.

Some nasty storms likely across the Eastern Plains tomorrow with big hail and tornadoes possible after 3p. Highest risk east of Limon. Denver metro likely just misses out, though far eastern metro (DIA/Buckley/470 on east) may get clipped by these as they first develop. #COwx

You are far more likely to be killed by a car than a gun in America but find me a gov’t entity at the federal, state, or local levels which invests as much into mode shift or traffic safety as they do policing.

administration that demonstrably can't handle the responsibilities of a kiddie pool

US VP Vance: I may go to Switzerland tomorrow, depending on Iran.

IF YOU ARE A SCIENTIST IN THE AREA WHO HAS COLLECTED AND ANALYZED THIS WATER, @standupforscience.net would love to work to publicize your results. Info @ standupforscience (dot) net

RIP Carlo Ginzburg. Being in one of his lectures was being taken along for a wild, delightful ride into worlds unknown where the smallest details of the things you would normally overlook appeared magnified and logical.

[God creating dogs] Oh these turned out great. Im going to want all of these back at some point

"Tell them to arrest me," the ICE agent defying CT law on mask ban. "Tell them... Who’s going to arrest me?” "We’re federal," another added. It's amazing how some people talk when they believe they'll never be held accountable. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks www.ctinsider.com/news/article...

This isn’t breaking news this is purposely withheld information

man is an Iranian named Sohrab Ahmari, who does he think the people he's throwing in with want to kick out

Mamdani truly has the mandate of heaven

zohran begins his 10,000 year regime today

This is why I get angry when people are dismissive about the importance of sports or act like it’s frivolous. There’s nothing frivolous about COMMUNITY

the only thing I truly love about sports, and I love it with all my heart, is how it brings people together like this

Tempted to move back to NYC like tomorrow afternoon

Things are going on in New York right that people may not understand for thousands of years

“At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Niño Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua…” “This action was coordinated closely with our friends in Venezuela…”

How OH Rep. Joyce Beatty saved the Kennedy Center. With all the wreckage & chaos of the Trump regime, we really must recognise the hundreds -- probably thousands -- of Americans who are stepping up to fight back for our country and our heritage. #ProudBlue

yes

Counterpoints: 1) As the kiddos sometimes say, "Based". 2) AFAICT The Rothko Chapel's designed to be far more contemplative than the Sistine, which to its credit, is meant to sweep you up into a social narrative of ecstasy. 3) I'd love to visit both...🙂 www.youtube.com/shorts/UE9fs...

Counterpoint: For one thing, the Zionist Movement achieved its goals, became eternally triumphant, in the 1970s. That the attempts to revive Zionism as a movement failed utterly in Thanksgiving of 2023 means that Israel will now go the way of South Africa. www.youtube.com/shorts/EndsU...

New at the Smotus Report: How Colorado’s Republican gubernatorial debate showed us what the party is going through across the country right now

worth noting that Jeff Hurd also didn't talk with Rob Tann from the mountain news outlets either. reminds me of a #copolitics incumbent who avoided media in 2020.... 🤔 #CO03

Lyra McKee is rolling over in her absence and I am crying.
