The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred.
It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

Colorado: Here's our plan for clean air in wild places.

Washington: Nope. You can't close coal plants.

@sambrasch.bsky.social reports from CPR's climate team:
Feds to reject a Colorado clean air plan because it aims to close coal-fire power plants
The upcoming decision marks the latest example of the Trump administration using its authority to buoy the state’s struggling coal industry.

him: "Sure, and you can also text me if you need drugs." (he grows weed and shrooms.)

The Immigrant Task Force at my church, most of them trained as ICE observers and active in supporting at least two Immigrant rights groups in the area are all like 50-70 year old white ladies and I guarantee you this week's shooting means there will be even more of them next week.
A thing I noticed reporting in Minneapolis today: if DHS was under the impression the events of this week would discourage ICE observers from continuing their work, that, uh, doesn't appear to be happening.

I guess today's emotional coping mechanism is cheese. First a quesadilla at happy hour and now I'm bringing some brie up to room temp with the "proofing" setting on my toaster oven.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Pete and Amy are really out here arguing that ICE isn’t killing people by the employee handbook when we are out here arguing ICE should not exist. They do NOT represent the will of the people.
@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: "We have an ICE agent who should have been trained not to be in front of a vehicle and never to shoot into a moving vehicle, and yet this happened on [Kristi Noem's] watch. The whole POINT of Homeland Security is to make this country more stable and safe."

“I’m so proud, by the way, of so many people throughout our city who have united around—yes, getting justice; yes, First Amendment speech; yes, peaceful protest; and also, importantly, not taking the bait.”

Interesting how the right has used “white woman” as a smear this week.
The MAGA regime is currently doubling down on its tactical stance of “we will kill women like dogs for merely displeasing us.”

white women and queers - and people who love them - this is a good week to look GOP voters you know in the eye and ask them if they think it should be legally permissible for men to shoot you or your loved one in the head on the basis of being a “fucking bitch”

Continually sickened by the misogyny and homophobia that runs through this whole affair--from the words of her murderer to the many attempts by conservatives to devalue her life since

One thing Ross’s angle of the shooting reveals is that he had pretty decent evidence that the person he was about to shoot is a Lesbian and I don’t think it’s unwarranted to venture that this influenced his eagerness to kill her

have overheard something similar in the smoking area at the industrial plant where i work today, also noticed the trump hat guy stopped wearing his trump hat this week
there are some very white working class dudes doing electrical work in the office next door and I just overheard one of them say “fucking paramilitary fucking shooting people in the street, did you see that shit?”

so I don’t think the PR is going over well

Switching to vegan sausage patties in my breakfast sandwiches has been one of the easiest swaps ever. Soyrizo in the breakfast burritos, too. Both taste so close to the meat versions that it's hard to even tell the difference.

JARED POLIS SUCKS.
Gov. Polis tells CBS that Tina Peters’ sentence was “harsh” and that he’s considering requests to grant her clemency.

There were real concerns among other elected officials that Polis would release Peters. This gives credence to those fears:

The other night at work, as a couple seated themselves leaving a single seat on either side of them instead of scooting one seat in either direction so we could seat another couple there, my coworker and I were like "what must it be like to never consider how your actions affect others?"
schools should teach a class called "how to exist correctly in a way that doesn't annoy others"

Someone with the city of Waldron, AR incorrectly posted on the city's Facebook page yesterday that Democrats would not be allowed to vote in the upcoming primary elections.
City of Waldron falsely tells Democrats they can’t vote in primary elections - Arkansas Times
“If you are a registered Democrat- you will not be able to vote in the primary election!” is wildly incorrect, both in substance and punctuation.
