Post from Senator Michael Bennet: “Tina Peters knowingly, broke the law, undermined our elections, and was rightfully convicted by jury of her peers. At a moment like this, we can’t take capitulate to a lawless administration. We have to stay strong of our institutions, democracy, and the rule of law.
I’m no Bennet apologist; confirming Chris Wright is indefensible. But I don’t appreciate you spreading misinformation.
“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“
A double-tap strike on little girls at school.
One can look at the maga movement and the Democratic Party through a similar lens. Today’s Democratic Party is great at mobilizing: it can propel people into the streets with big marches, raise billions of dollars for national candidates, and get liberals to bombard congressional offices with letters and phone calls. However, it’s less talented at organizing—building the kinds of local infrastructure and disparate leaders that are needed to sustain a large and ideologically diverse coalition. maga, on the other hand, is great at organizing—after 2020, the movement launched the so-called Precinct Strategy, which encouraged thousands of people to run for leadership positions within their local Republican Party chapters, and to become poll workers.

Bleak! But it makes me think that the time for IRL connection is now. Certainly had a moment when online organizing seemed possible, but those days are gone.
Awesome for JR and for CU. Her teams are always solid in the classroom and on the court. Not much more you can ask for from a coach.
Colorado: If you want to share your thoughts with Jared Polis about the increased chatter that he is going to grant clemency to Tina Peters, his number is 303-866-2471. Oddly, his VM isn’t full….
This won’t impact who I ultimately caucus for (obviously Julie) but I am pretty disappointed that I’ve only received outreach from Hickenlooper so far. #copolitics
Yes, nothing says "safety" like living under the constant threat of urban firestorms thanks to rampant climate denial by the regime
Drupal is the CMS. It’s also mobile-friendly first since so many visitors are on phones. The thing to know is that it the cms is not Granicus.
One thing that sets Boulder apart from other cities is that their site isn’t hosted by the “leading” vendor. There’s been a ton of consolidation/privatization of municipal web services, and like lots of other sectors, the enshitification is real!
Targeting the Iran nuclear weapons sites and using the military to capture Maduro were test runs that congress failed. We’re in the scariest timeline where Trump knows he has no checks. I pray for Greenland.
A spokesperson helping Nural Amin Shah Alam's family shared this fundraiser.
Mr. Alam was a disabled refugee who came to America escaping genocide. The criminal legal system failed and targeted him at every turn, until ICE left him on a cold February night to die.

He actually runs on solar energy. Ironic!
Hard to swallow the absolute cruelty, savagery, and utter shamelessness at every chapter of this story. I hope we never forget Shah, his family, and his murder.
And cops, maybe cut it with the “feel-good” neighborhood basketball videos until the evil in your culture is rooted out.
It’s kind of funny to see all these companies work so hard to appease Trump while we are on the precise of a generational backlash to him and everything he represents
OK, but if dogs really are man’s best friend, can someone explain why they would eat their own poop and then puke it up on the carpet?
Toddler nightmares are so funny. The three year old woke herself up at 1 in the morning yelling "No! I want to do it my myself!"
thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol
This is sooooo cringe/ embarrassing. Setting aside the valid professional and taxpayer concerns, Kash Patel is one of the most pathetic people out there.
I forgot the Paris cauldron was fully electric! www.olympics.com/en/news/pari...
The Milano-Cortina Olympic Cauldron featuring a small circle Of flame inside a larger mechanical sphere
My brain is probably too electrification-pilled, but I thought it was cool that the Milano-Cortina games featured a smaller flame and more LEDs symbolizing fire.
Oh man. I don’t know if I can emotionally handle Amber Glenn skating to that song. Ultimate redemption narrative.
I knew my heat pump conversion was gonna have a few perks… did not anticipate this one
A back touchscreen Carrier thermostat says “Now Playing” with a toggle for volume.
Wait why is my thermostat also a Bluetooth speaker lol
Currently down in bed with my worst cold of the season. This news may revive me!
Mike Tirico said that Alysa Liu’s free skate drove a 135% spike in streams of MacArthur Park.
Glad to learn I’m not the only one belting “And I’ll never have the recipe agaiiiiiiin.” ⛸️🪩
I would love to hear about your success here. So hard to reach the offline community, but we need them in the climate fight.
Ice disco rules!
Alyssa Liu has to be one of the coolest people on the planet.
The situation is stressful for me, and I am among the most privileged in the system: access to quality day care in Longmont and the ability to cover tuition for two toddlers. And I question every day how families make it work and how our center stays open. I have nightmares that they’ll close!
