Last time gas prices were this high in my area (and they've never been *this* high) I was paying nearly half the rent I'm paying now for roughly the same size house.

Oh, it's for sure this little gnome that I used to keep on the car dash. It rendered three cars inoperable before I caught on and didn't move him to the newest.

For 21 years we have given 50 Head Start kids a personalized bookcase and a starter set of books their parents can read to them. Bookcases 1001 through 1050 are in good hands. Tiny curious hands.

Quite the week for the president of the United States on Truth Social. Sunday: "Praise be to Allah!" Tuesday: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." Thursday: [video of a woman being murdered]

It blows my mind that Las Vegas is now a pay-ahead resort like Disney, rather than the seedy no tell motel oasis it was designed to be. 🤣

Trump and Hegseth are making statements that legal experts say constitute war crimes. On live television. Without apology.

Trump is everything our Founding Fathers objected to. He doesn’t belong here #NoKings https://youtu.be/y-KkbwtQgjc

The Heritage Foundation is once again taking steps to strip away women’s rights. msmagazine.com/2026/03/13/h...

Seconding this, @colorado.gov

Shoutout to the guy standing alone on Hwy50 with three protest signs. I see you! Thank you!

It’s once again Girl Scout cookie season so it’s time for me remind everyone to please consider buying from NYC’s Girl Scout Troop 6000, which is entirely made up of girls living in NYC homeless shelters 🙏❤️

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.” The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there. jessica.substack.com/p/theyre-com...

Are we winning yet? Millions losing healthcare Foreign aid gone Destroyed our strongest alliances Brought back deadly childhood diseases Americans illegally detained and murdered Illegally invaded Venezuela Using WH for personal profit Civil rights trampled Please add what I’ve missed?

Nota Bene: southern Colorado is at least 48% Hispanic, with a higher percentage of Native peoples than in the rest of the state. The foundational non-Native culture was people noping out of Spanish-controlled Santa Fe in the 16th and 17th centuries. And that’s who the Arkansas watershed serves.

I had the honor to introduce my replacement on 9NEWS

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

“Cassandras are not reasoning on the basis of fear; rather, their reasoning has led to a conclusion that is frightening. Indeed, I would say being a clear, critical thinker is the first of the things that make someone more likely to have “got it” early.” newrepublic.com/article/2042...

President Trump is delivering on his promise of retribution against Colorado for the state's mail-in ballots and refusal to release his ally Tina Peters from prison. The Trump team says it plans to close America's foremost weather lab: NCAR. @marshallglasses.bsky.social reports.

Yes, I'll be watching the news conference tonight so you don't have to. Mute this thread as it'll be the cesspool.

Alert the presses: American men are running out of testosterone. Civilization, apparently, is at stake. The FDA is swooping in to save the day, because one-third of men might actually notice symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, or the terrifying inability to lift small cars.

Like... I know that's it's an olfactory thing with dogs that they can smell our tears and concentrate on them with big long sniffs of our eye areas, but I like to think that the little nose bump or lick is their recognition of having Big Emotions.

No one will stop me from defending our freedoms.

OK - pie discourse - best pie story: In 2016, we were living in Andover, in the UK. My wife was assigned as an exchange officer at the Army Air Corps base at Middle Wallop (yes, really).* The US Army has a tradition: senior leaders, in dress uniform, serve junior troops Thanksgiving dinner. /1

Trump, in a stunning display of thin-skinned authoritarianism, has once again shown he believes criticism is a punishable offense. After a reporter asked a perfectly legitimate question about the release of Jeffrey Epstein files a matter of enormous public interest

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

These four, evans, hurd, crank and boebert voted to cut the VA budget, Cut Medicaid, cut food for the poor, and close schools. I wouldn't let them run a septic cleaning business, much less our government. VOTE THEM OUT, WRONG FOR COLORADO! You know what to do. #Colorado

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

In the poverty of Trump’s American faith comes the impoverishment of our founding ideas — and the fractures ripping America apart The destruction of the White House was visceral, sacrilegious It profanes our secular American religion My latest: www.greatpower.us/p/the-sacred...

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

I missed the No Kings rally, but I did do this...

One of the ways you can tell Trump should have won the Nobel Prize is how terrified people seem to be about all the revenge he plans to take

Incredible (via www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...)

Thou shalt not refuse to swear in elected officials because you’re desperately trying to cover up sex crimes by billionaire pedophiles.

Just a reminder that the Commander-in-Chief of the Louisiana National Guard, who can call them out all by himself if they were actually needed, is … Governor Landry.

Let’s talk about what real strength looks like—and how Trump’s MAGA “alpha male” act is the opposite of it. 🧵

Join Pikes Peak Library District as we welcome author Mary Roach to discuss her book Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law, a 2025 All Pikes Peak Reads selection. Roach will do a short reading from Fuzz, followed by a discussion of the book and writing process. ppld.librarymarket.com/event/all-pi...

the booker prize judges make a lot of fuss about having to read 153 books. but assuming an average weight of 750g per book, that comes in at 115kg of literature - or just under the weight of a single adult male ostrich

Acetaminophen is easy to pronounce. The ending is like “minnow fin” 🐟 And “aceta-“ sounds like “Ah see da” as in “Ah see da Epstein files still haven’t been released.”

Pueblo has a fraught history with the Arkansas River, but a new $11 million park could change that

The right-wing is trying to end competitive elections and freedom of speech in America. The left-wing is occasionally very annoying. Grow up.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

Like everybody else in the Trump administration, Kristi Noem has two jobs

"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex. We spend too much money on defense. Why does it matter which rich people get richer off it?" There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one. (thread)

Pueblo County to President Trump: Keep our coal-burning Comanche Station making power indefinitely.
