The last few months I’ve gotten into the occasional espresso and tonic, and it’s a great time when done well when I want to switch an iced coffee or cold brew with another iced drink

A local Denver weather reporter is signaling some *very very* cautious optimism that there may be some weather pattern changes this month that will let Colorado catch up on some snow so we go from horrific to just “less great”

A Senator, but let’s get Hickenlooper out of here

these are senator james talarico numbers

Protest sign from MN that says, “DEARLY BELOVED. WE ARE GATHERED HERE TODAY TODISMANTLE THIS THING CALLED ICE.” with a picture of Prince in the left hand lower corner.

10/10 ICE protest sign

Same (again)

Also, as a vegetarian, way to ensure I have no reason to go since I can’t even do a “just get some sides” thing

Over the holidays we drove across the country to see our family and every Steak n Shake billboard was just about their beef tallow fries. I was like like “oh they are just culture war now”

I think a mixed drink would also depend on the season

Had a great go-to for a while of prosecco, St Germain, soda water, and a splash of lemon (a St Germain spritz). Very easy and bright!

From various celebrations, we have a bottle of Blanton’s and Veuve Clicquot at the ready to start (would not finish each or else we’d perish too lol)

I wonder if that keeps some of them focused on making lots of ev in the US anyway with the hopes people adopt it despite Musk?

Media: do not lead with the false government framing of what happened

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

They shot an unarmed mother in the face in front of her wife then called her a “fucking bitch”.

They kidnapped a five year old and used them as bait.

They deported a two year old despite a judge’s orders.

They maced, pistol whipped, and disarmed a nurse legally carrying then shot him nine times.

The Timberwolves-Warriors game in Minneapolis has been postponed by the NBA, sources tell ESPN, in wake of a man shot and killed Saturday in a confrontation with federal agents in the city. It's the second shooting there in a week, third this month, involving a federal officer.

Anyone telling you NOT to call your member of congress today is an op or under the influence of an op

There is literally no reason not to

Telling people not to call is not a radical position

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

We are calling our senators right now and demanding that they vote no on the omnibus with DHS funding

We are explicitly mentioning ICE’s murder in cold blood of a man on the streets of Minneapolis this morning

Left a voicemail with my senators this morning. It’s a start, but necessary (and one is up for re-election and I am hoping the primary opponent can pull it off)

"abolish ICE and prosecute everyone involved" is the moderate position

Don’t watch the video. It was a murder, an execution. You do not need to watch it, it won’t help anyone. Warrants should be issued today if the government up there is anything other than a dead letter.
