No Kings Denver speaker Joe Salazar (fmr Dem state rep) tells me they estimate 25-30k gathered in Denver today, similar to the No Kings protest earlier this year. This view is from photographer Cheney Orr for the New York Times. #copolitics

Murphy: We are not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. But Trump has not won.

People who brake for no reason, no one is in front of you. There’s no squirrel why what’s going through your mind, please elaborate?

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Good morning Colorado!

Hello Colorado.

I am legitimately sad about Jane Goodall. I have always admired her as someone who had a level of compassion and interest that she kept throughout her whole life. She always approached her research with grace and curiosity, in today’s world that is an increasingly rare thing. I will miss seeing her.

Crystal @colady17.bsky.social · 17d

Yeah, I’m not saying that.

Crystal @colady17.bsky.social · 17d

I appreciate that, I’d lol anyway.

Oh no, what are we *supposed* to be doing?

Whew, glad I’m too fat and female for the military.

Crystal @colady17.bsky.social · 19d

JFC the news.

Crystal @colady17.bsky.social · 22d

I should have put that in quotes. I’m just dumbfounded every time I look at the news.

I can’t believe that Tylenol causes autism isn’t where we collectively decide that America has jumped the shark and we cancel it.

This is…just the dumbest time to be alive.

If anyone you knew in a position of “trust” wrote you paragraphs with letters in all caps over and over again… you would start to think they were DELULU.
