And that is exactly why whoever at Hilton turned them away
I’m outside of the Canopy by Hilton hotel, where protesters have gathered for a noise demonstration after learning DHS agents may be staying here.

For my Colorado folks. Polis’ number is (303) 866-2885 if you want to let him to know how much he sucks
Polis sucks so bad. Ugh
Gov. Polis tells CBS that Tina Peters' sentence is "harsh" and he's considering clemency for her. Peters, sentenced to 9 years on 4 felonies, has never disavowed her role as county clerk to breach her own election system to prove Trump's lie that he won 2020.

So to return to this: Mussolini had 200,000 blackshirts for the March on Rome in a country of ~35m. Hitler had 400,000 brownshirts in 1932 in Germany for a population of ~60m.
So around 0.6% of the population.
0.6% of 340m Americans is just over 2 million.
They do not have enough goons.

In 1932, on the eve of seizing power, the Nazi goon army - the Sturmabteiling or SA - numbered 400,000 members. By 1933, it was over two *million.*
DHS has 240,00 employees and lot of those are non-goons who have, you know, real jobs.

Here's a small timeline cleanse.
This is part of a much larger deep-field image from #JWST, and shows just how absurdly big the Universe is.
It's a tiny part of the Boötes constellation, about 2.4 arc minutes across. Every six-sided feature is a star in the Milky Way.
Everything else is a galaxy.

I shared this yesterday but sharing it again because not everything has to be horrible.
This is insanely cool. Figuring out if a moon, orbiting Jupiter, covered in ice and water, is tectonically active or not is crazy! What a feat.

New paper alert!
tl;dr: the seafloor of Europa is probably tectonically inert, meaning little to no active fracturing that could expose fresh rock to seawater.
Without such water–rock reactions the prospect for there being life within Europa just took a big hit.
