“Some belated thoughts on the #Colorado#SupremeCourt’s historic ruling Tuesday that #Trump is disqualified from the presidency as an insurrectionist. I’ll start with the dessert and then get to the medicine” #14thAmendment#legal
Cue the GOP continuing to loudly support the 1st and especially the 2nd amendment of the US Constitution but not the 14th because that one is apparently woke.
375,000 NATIVE ANIMALS KILLED by One Program in 2023
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's notorious #WildlifeServices program just put out its required tally of #killings for last year: 375,045 native animals. The federal extermination program targets a long list of wild creatures, chiefly at the behest of #agricultural interests in states like #Texas, #Colorado and #Idaho.
According to the report — which almost surely understates the actual numbers —
Holy crap! Absolute insanity. This is why we have season passes to #ABasin. Even it was $189 for a single day lift ticket yesterday! For reference our season passes with no black out dates are about $550 each for adults.
Cowardly #SCOTUS Justices Appear Skeptical of Arguments to Kick #Trump Off State Ballots
The #SupremeCourt heard arguments about whether TFG’s attempts to subvert the #2020election#disqualify him from again holding office. Justices across the ideological spectrum questioned several aspects of a ruling from the #Colorado Supreme Court.
This is the Animas Valley in Durango, #Colorado. I was lucky enough to live right below that waterfall. I would lay in bed with the windows open at night and listen to it rumble down the mountain.
The vintage Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Railway ran right past my house a couple of times a day. We’d stand on our porch and wave to the passengers. I loved living there, especially as a photographer who was outdoors all of the time. Truly beautiful place!
I reside in #Colorado, and have been photographing the wild #herds that roam the state's #PublicLands for a few years now. In 2021, I became heavily invested in this issue when I got word in that my local herd in #SandWashBasin was going to be rounded up. To me, it felt personal – I had to do something.
An Expert Who Has Testified in Foster Care Cases Across #Colorado Admits Her Evaluations Are Unscientific
Diane Baird labeled her method for assessing families the “Kempe Protocol” after the renowned University of Colorado institute where she worked for decades.
Reed Timmer in #Colorado#COwx: "This is the most dangerous tornado producing storm I have ever chased. Near misses from many violent tornadoes with extreme deviant motion in mud roads. Back window blown out. Extremely dangerous tornadoes moving west, north, southeast. Planting then surge"
My hike this morning took me to the top of the 1st Flatiron (the big slab on the right in the first photo). A classic, with beautiful scenery at the top.
In the Mel Brooks film, "Blazing Saddles", the comedic premise is the idea of the Black Sheriff in the old west. However, history teaches us that not only did they exist, some were quite successful in their career. With the success of the recent television series about Bass Reeves, curiosity has grown for stories from the era that don't reflect the narrative we've been fed. #colorado#blackhistory

I’m grateful for the bravery of #Maine Secretary of State #ShennaBellows and the #Colorado Supreme Court Justices in the #AndersonvGriswold majority. They have stood up for rule of law in the U.S. when it is dangerously under siege. We must publicly commend their integrity. By fulfilling their constitutional and other legal duties, these officeholders present a clear, shining counterexample to the lawless dictatorship Trump intends.
Plaintiffs seeking to ban Trump from #Colorado presidential primary under #14thAmendment ask US #SupremeCourt to expedite review of Colorado's ruling to strip #Trump from ballot.
