Will trump be fired for falsely blaming the Left? I know the answer but double standard, anyone?
Will trump apologize to the Left and track down the radical right who commit crimes, now that it is known that both the Kirk killer and shooter in Evergreen CO appear to have been radicalized on the right? www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
Another scene from Superior, Colorado today.
Weekly pro democracy event happened in Superior, Colorado again today.
Hundreds of students protested gun violence all through the district today.
Overshadowed by other news, the district that I teach in is grieving another school shooting in one of its high schools, the second since I have been there. When will there be enough that politicians care enough to act? When will the lives of children be more important than support from the NRA?
Ice clouds and sky yesterday evening
I'd call this a kangaroo court except that would insult lots of kangaroos.
Another celebration of democracy condemning the current administration in Superior, Colorado today. Here were a few of the patriotic Americans who were present.
Seems like the post is real. Impeachment is immediately needed.
This is a declaration of war on US citizens and a city. If the post is real it should be impeachment for him and any in Congress who tacitly approve to post by not issuing a strong condemnation.
All pathetic cowards.
Getting laid off sucks but it is a chance to come out stronger on the other side. Best wishes!!
Many hundreds celebrate Democracy and Labor Unions in Longmont, Colorado today with singing, speeches, and celebrating along Main Street.
Don't most people cross at night? The color won't affect the temperature significantly then.
Colorado may soon lose part of what makes it special.. arkvalleyvoice.com/texas-roadsi...

I hope you're right but this supreme court seems to worship the man (felon) so I wouldn't be surprised if they support his order and criminalize flag burning.
I have stopped capitalizing the name of this corrupt group of political hacks. Last week said it all saying what trump did wad wrong but then allowing the results. Utter contempt.
Protest against Palantir in Denver today.
She gave people the code for the election machines. That is a felony. She is not innocent. The man is pathetic.
This is heartbreaking. Justice is a joke under this regime.
How is this not attempted murder?
More than 150 people rallied for democracy in Superior; Colorado today.
Great points here! One slight correction is that Tommy Smith was evicted from the Olympics and not allowed to compete in future Olympics but was not stripped of his medal.
Clearly the majority is not following the Constitution and I would argue should be impeached. They are making decisions purely based on political ideology, not the law. Disgusting.
I'd say you could compare people you interact with daily. For those who bother or annoy you, you can compare them to trump and conclude that these bothersome people are actually quite awesome and that whatever friction exists is small beans compared to if you had to deal with that felon.
That seems like a good method to ensure safety. What harm could a nuclear meltdown do beyond killing thousands and making a huge area uninhabitable?
Although apparently true, this story is from 2017.
Imagine the pride he must have displaying a trophy he didn't earn and for a sport for which he likely doesn't know the rules.
While not disputing the earlier comments, I would note that news of any cult member who starts questioning their allegiance to the felon is good news. If his support erodes, it is possible that some of the spineless sycophants in the House and Senate might stop their blind support.
He wants to cripple California's economy and be cruel all at the same time.
The last thing the Department of Justice wants in this administration is to be ethical. Given that; there's really no reason to keep the guy on and why not misspell his name in the firing notice? It's not like she cares.
One can only hope that in the cardgame 'bridge' trump cards will soon be renamed Obama cards.
Clearly they don't believe in open free markets as they claim given that they work hard for petroleum subsidies and solar taxes. As for gas being a green fuel, that is simply a lie. In the end, the US will suffer being a century behind the rest of the world with energy production.
Socialize costs, privatize profits is the mantra I've heard from these unethical people.
None of these things should be privatized. Furthermore, Congressional leaders scamming to make money off their own nefarious actions should be tried for insider trading in my mind.
Twenty-four years ago today, a close friend of mine passed away in one of the world's most beautiful places. Cherish every minute on earth and every minute you are with those close to you. The photo was taken on the East Face of Mount Alice in Rocky Mountain National Park.
The writer of this document sounds like a raving lunatic. And yes, I do care about the Epstein files and believe that those involved should be held accountable.
Not a fan of her, but absolutely on her side here, 100%!
Trump never fails to disgust. This statement should be grounds for impeachment as he clearly is ignoring the Constitution.
This needs to be a massive unlawful imprisonment lawsuit with kidnapping charges for those involved in the professor's removal. These should be charged at the state level.
Congress needs to do its job. It, not the president sets tarrifs according to the Constitution.
I can focus on flooding. Trump and doge cut FEMA and hundreds died. Trump's actions killed these people. He needs to be held accountable. Furthermore, the funding of critical government services needs to be restored. As for Mexicans. The work of immigrants is beneficial. ICE funding needs to be cut.
This is kidnapping. This is a felony. He needs to be returned and those responsible tried for kidnapping as well as vandalism and assault.
Seems like we don't want anything to do with any other countries in the world: no trade, no diplomacy, no treaties. What could go wrong? Also of note the link gave me lots of spam...
Hmstating the obvious here, but he might want to look at the comic strip given that Superman fights for the oppressed and helpless and essentially everything that is exactly opposite of what trump stands for.
"Laid out" sorry for the typo.
The cited article does not have this language at this point. It says "longstanding law, laid put in the Constitution." Perhaps they edited the article?
4th Ammendnent says they do.
Clearly he needs to be deported.
So very white babies are good according to Noem. What if a Latina woman in South Dakota had 6 babies? Would they all get deported?
Says the woman who voted for the bill to destroy many of the agencies needed to help people...
Oops... Peregrine Falcon
Went on a walk this morning and got a nice view of the the Third Flatiron. Nice to see and hear a Perigrine Falcon circling above, and some Canyon Wrens amongst the rocks lower down.
Then I would like to take up the skack and thank those kind and brave people who came to Texas to help in their time of need. You showed what it means to be great humanitarians. Thank you.
Apparently we don't want to encourage high technology jobs or 21st century ideas. The administration seems we should go back to how it was in the antebellum south. Sad...
Maybe if they stop committing felonies and start showing identification and their faces and stop terrorizing citizens, I will back off...
She's in jail because she's female and not part of the boy's club that suppressed the list of pedafiles. American justice is now an oxymoron.
This is a case where fingers need to be pointed. Funding was cut by doge and jobs were lost to justify privatizing the NWS. As a direct result of that over 100 people died. Those causing these deaths need to be held accountable. Coaches who lose games get fired. These people need consequences.
Please abolish ICE. It seems to me to be a terror organization promoting state sanctioned terror for political reasons.
I believe there's plenty of outrage, it's just that many of those who can bring the issue to light are also involved so it has been buried.
raise is happening in every state regardless of political alignment. Trump is stealing $7 billion of already allocated money from dursticts. on brand for him but it is theft pure and simple.
Our school district in Colorado is having millions stolen by trump in this.
I wish that we had a Supreme Court that would actually follow the text of thus ammendment.
You know the obvious, but I have also heard that by keeping the charges at the state level, then trump cannot pardon him.
I felt FEMA responded well to the Marshall fires that destroyed a thousand structures a few years ago near where I live. Also of note, President Biden was on the ground in town within a day or two, personally meeting with those who'd lost most everything. Good leadership gets good results.
They won't ever get released is my guess. Too many powerful people are likely involved.
They want us to give up hope which is what we absolutely cannot do. Demand that voting continues. Show up at polling sites and oppose the fascists.
I hope that they make the Sierra Club tax free as well... also, I wonder if churches lose this status if they endorse a democratic candidate? Best as I can tell, many of these churches and politicians have forgotten most of what's in the New Testament. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
The folks in this church might want to actually read the New Testament before saying this and saying they're following Jesus on this. This is abhorrent.
American justice is now an oxymoron.
Let's see trump, musk, and bondi pick crops in the fields for a week and see if they can pick even 5% as much as the people that are being deported.
They have to prop up the noncompetitive oil and gas industry. That's all they care about here; certainly not the people.
Sadly, my first thought is that ice will come in now and deport these two women. That seems to be the way this administration operates
This is downright negligent. It should be immediately corrected. Twitter is a private company owned by someone who's demonstrated incompetence time after time. Life-saving information from the government should fe freely disseminated through non third party systems.
The community could have had a warning system (which they'd rejected - no new taxes) and trump and doge could have not destroyed vital public services. This was a very preventable tragedy and my heart goes out to the families of those who lost loved ones because of the felon's war on Americans.
This is tragic. My heart goes out to the families of the victims. These deaths are a direct result of trump's actions although we all know he will blame everyone else and not take a bit of responsibility.
It seems clear that to trump, democratic votes don't count. The only ones that appear to matter are maga and independents.
If they hate it and know it's wrong, don't vote for it. They were elected to represent the people not kowtow to an insecure felon. If they can't do this resign so that someone capable of the job can. I have no sympathy for their cowardice.
This should be done for the $7 billion the felon illegally withheld for school funding.
Sadly since he is republican, this will never happen. If it was AOC, she'd already be in jail, I'd guess.
Tragic when we just added zillions to balloon the ice budget to repress Americans. www.npca.org/articles/955...
I went on a morning walk up Bear Peak. Although yesterday, the sky was solid blue, today, clouds are massing on the horizon.
Once they vouch for them, do they have to pay them for working or are they now slaves?
For what it is worth, the feeling is mutual only he is wrong. I love my country but hate a man who thinks and acts for nothing beyond his own love of himself.
To maga lady, I would say it is time for you to take action. You have friends and contacts. Become a leader resisting trump. Speak to those you know and try to get them out of his cult. Begin advocating for humanity. If you can turn the tide for these people and they for others, then things may turn
Well, they didn't, Senator. You and your colleagues own the deaths that result from this travesty.
How is this possibly legal? I know that everything trump does is legal as per the Supreme Court, but still...
The Yellow Grosbeak lives largely in the mountains of Mexico and is only seen in the United States very rarely. This summer, Colorado has been fortunate to have these beautiful birds seen in four different counties.
The hope I cling to is that most people are decent. He got a few thousand terrorists to staff the current ice. I hold out hope that he won't be able to find an exponential increase who are willing to assault and hurt people to the degree the current crop do.
I still remember being yelled at in kindergarten for running up the slide.
Is there a recording of this? I am unable to find confirmation of this statement.
You wouldn't want to deprive taxation companies like TurboTax from gouging citizens, that's for sure.
Went to see a rare bird in Estes Park and got a nice view of the Diamond on Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. Public lands are amazing! The cliff has some of the best alpine rock climbs in the country with the added fun that the cliff tops out at 14,000 feet.
Since when did joking about genocide of 65 million become okay? I have not seen a single peep of condemnation from a republican. To me that makes them complicit.
It seems like yes.
This is why they had to add a tax. pv-magazine-usa.com/2025/07/01/s...
If they ban all athletes from all countries (except Russia) we and they will clean up in the medal counts.
