Colorado lifer. Love CO and the west. My posts are who I want to be, my replies are who I have to be. Most of my time spent being a little silly but trying to wake up anyone who will listen.

Food banks are going to become increasingly important everywhere. Donate food, money or time.

You can’t spell Nazi without a bunch of the letters in Indiana.

They are what the British would call a bad lot. I grew up a lot closer to WWII, there were no groups of whimsical boys telling harmless Nazi jokes. This is coordinated hate attack with right wing influencers.

I like this. Might be good to carry this weekend.

So things are going according to the Nazi plan? Interesting. 🤔

NPR too. Especially smaller stations. A little makes a big difference.

I was in Joliet last year for a function and at night I thought it might be spooky to drive by the old prison. Dark, lonely road and then suddenly everything was lit up for a big Blues Brothers festival. It was serendipitous to say the least. Apparently Akroyd was even there.

Hallelujah.

Maybe think about how to continue it through the week also. Boycott, miss work, don’t buy much, protest smaller things or companies. I’m not perfect but we need to take some things to level 2.

After the protests this weekend add a little extra punch. Don’t buy anything. Call in sick. Work slow. Make all the big corps that support Trump start to feel the pain. Cancel an Amazon Prime membership. Cancel Facebook or Instagram. There are 300 million of us that aren’t part of this bullshit.

75% of S&P 500 growth since 2022 is AI. (BTW AI told me that.) Our IRA’s will be left holding the bag when the bubble bursts.

So Treasury Secretary was off by 100% on what they needed? He must not be good with numbers? Seems like a prerequisite for the job though.

Gosh, all the Young Republicans I’ve known in my life were such upstanding fellows, I am shocked that one of them could be a bad apple.

besmartcolorado.bsky.social @besmartcolorado.bsky.social · 17h

They are untrained assholes, so yeah.

Did I hear that right? “Stop clutching pearls you cat loving snowflakes, but if you say anything not completely complimentary about Charlie Kirk I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND!”

I thought Facebook was just for grandmas and selling old electric typewriters. Well, going to check MySpace now.

And the money goes to fund healthcare subsidies and Medicaid for the poorest among us? That is generous.

The line is only crossed if American or Arab billionaires are murdered, or right wing influencers.

So it’s not about healthcare?

So we have to accept a dictator to have money? I thought it might come down to blackmail.

I imagine Putin spends every day quite delighted.

Breaking all ten commandments is kind of a non-starter. Maybe that’s why he’s making buddies with Allah these days.

Ooooooooo! A letter. As if anyone in the administration could or would read a letter. Maybe send a TikTok video to Barron and see if you get any traction.
