 Quite possibly the best political ad I’ve seen in a long time. Really highlights the weird sexual hangups the GOP have going on this time around.

 We are never too far from our neo-Nazi and Klan past in Colorado, so don’t get complacent, kids:

Alan Berg’s legacy remains powerful 40 years after neo-Nazis gunned him down. 

Those who knew the Denver radio host say he would be disgusted by today’s rise in antisemitism and hate groups.

 @46cd5609 absolutely….but the amount of energy that I have to expend to move skeptics off a debunked theory is enormous. Like…guys…the data doesn’t support this idea anymore. Move on.

 This story should make you physically sick. They’re building 200 square foot homes in aspen for teachers. 200. 

Meanwhile the town has filled up with uber rich assholes with 10,000 sq foot homes they live in only two months out of the year. 

Colorado mountain towns where teachers can’t afford housing have a new solution: tiny homes built by teens

 When I was a young left leaning guy they told me I’d become more conservative as i got older. 30 years later I think we need a 32 hour workweek, free healthcare, high speed trains between cities and zero cars inside them, universal basic income, and all of it paid by forcibly taking the money from billionaires and the churches until they disappear. So whatever.
