This might be the best argument for renewables, and active ways of getting around cities like walking, biking and public transit, that we could possibly think of.

Apparently, Lindsey Graham's drunken Fox News bullshit isn't working in the more clear-eyed Middle East.

🌑️ Mostly sunny and warmer with a high near 70° in Denver (record: 77°, 1989), and a bit breezier with 20-30 mph gusts in the afternoon.

🌀️ Similar tomorrow but less windy, before a brief cooldown on Wednesday. No meaningful rain or snow chances this week.

Exactly this. Racist men and transphobic men can’t control their rage when we won’t hate who they tell us to and then it’s β€˜look what you made us do’ 🚩🚩🚩

It's been 65 days since Donald Trump invaded a sovereign state, abducted its leader, and declared the US will "run" the state indefinitely

It's been 9 days since Trump launched a war (his word) against Iran without congressional approval

No House member has filed articles of impeachment for either

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense β€” if we still had a Congress.

Trump β€˜will not sign other bills’ until Republicans pass SAVE America Act The statement is a blunt ultimatum to Congress β€” pass the anti-voting bill or risk seeing other legislation stalled.

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump declared Sunday that he will not sign any other legislation until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, dramatically escalating his campaign to force the voter suppression bill through the Senate. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I see some people complaining, but this is undeniably good for the UK.

A strategist’s candidates can’t all be winners (morally or politically), but Katz’s playbook helped spark the grassroots progressive movement revitalizing the left.

If anyone can help the UK left beat back the oligarchy…

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

Campaigning for New York governor in 1928, Roosevelt said, β€œ[If] reduction of hours of women and children is Socialistic, we are all Socialists; and [if] public improvements for the hospitals of the State and the prisons of the State is Socialistic, we are all Socialists. And [if] bettering health ... [and] aid to the educational program of this State, if they are Socialistic, we are Socialists and we are proud of the name” (Schlesinger 1957, 384). As a Progressive, Franklin Roosevelt was outside the mainstream of Democratic politics through the 1920s. Nevertheless, he was an intellectual leader who believed that his time would come.

Winter Weather Advisory for Denver just issued from 5a-8p for today, totals bumped up to 3-5” per NWS Boulder for the AM commute.

Earlier start time may be part of what’s at play here. Expect a slick AM commute.
