Colorado's Court of Appeals suggested last week that Tina Peters was incorrectly sentenced for a felony rather than a misdemeanor, adding 15 months to her sentence. A closer look reveals that misdemeanor charge didn't exist at the time of her crime. @marshallglasses.bsky.social reports:

This is per-capita GDP versus country-level mean temperature.

We need to consider colonial legacy etc etc, but taken on face value this suggests something like a 16% loss of GDP of each degree of warming and that the economies of many low-income countries are already impeded by high temperatures.

Statewide snowpack remains at its worst season-to-date levels on record. Some relief Friday/Saturday, but the reality is we need 3-4 big storms (1-2 footers each) just to get within sniffing distance of where we should be for this time of year.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

President Trump quietly issued clemency grants this week, including to a California woman he had pardoned once before and a man whose daughter had donated millions to a Trump super PAC.

This is not a paraphrasing. This is the transcript:
Leavitt: “Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?”

Reporter: “Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably.”

Leavitt: “So you're a biased reporter with a left-wing opinion…You are not a reporter…You shouldn't even be sitting in that seat.”

“Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE” is a sentence that shouldn’t exist.
My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.
