Feminist, relentless abortion rights advocate, foodie, world traveller, music lover, childless cat lady, proud Coloradan with Texas roots. Molly Ivins & Diane Nash are my heroes. The Chicks song "The Long Away Around" pretty well covers it.

Although the world may literally be on fire, I can still revel in the great joy the Colorado GOP brings me.

Lauren Boebert is so clearly out of her kiddie pool depth here.

The dirtbag white supremacist right would love any pretext to attack and chase off a thinker and conversation-haver like Jamelle Bouie.

Jamelle Bouie clearly and quite publicly works very hard to be informed and even-handed and anyone talking about him as if he’s not doing either of those things should shut the fuck up and definitely be widely ignored

For folks in Colorado, please contact your state legislators re putting guardrails on Flock cameras. Hearing Wednesday!

Hi @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team this account @cptjinglepants.bsky.social is an harassment/troll account that keeps repeatedly adding me to lists. I've blocked & reported them several times but they've tried to add me to lists three times in the last 24 hours.
Please take action/suspend.

A now deleted video of Donald Trump in 2011 talking about how President Obama will start a war with Iran because he has no ability to negotiate and is weak and ineffective

Hillary Clinton is an intelligent adult.
Lauren Boebert is a stupid, infantile child.

He's standing next to a man wearing an "88" shirt, which is shorthand for "Heil Hitler."

I also encourage people if particular cause is a priority for you - climate change, income equality, health care, repro rights, LGBTQ rights - find an organization that has a c4 to support its political work & donate to that. c4 money is the hardest to raise for orgs because it's not tax deductible.

whoa -- this is new. Trump has a significant rash-like injury on his neck today in addition to his disfigured hand

All elections are a compromise, dipshit.

Maduro's people are still in charge and Trump has enriched himself with Venezuela's oil money.
That's all he cares about. Bribes in a brown paper bag.
It's the smash and grab Presidency.

Also if Maureen Dowd had any shame or integrity she would apologize and resign. But there's a certain caste in DC who never, ever pays a price for their obsequiousness to power, or getting the dosing wrong on an edible candy bar.

Trump just started rambling about his fucking ballroom at a Medal of Honor ceremony 56 hours after he started a major regional war.
