I got off Twitter in 2022 and got back on here in 2024 because I heard the Denver-local take havers were here now. Current insomniac but don't expect me on here at 3am because that is MY TIME to quietly (and sometimes loudly) freak out and attempt to knit.

Dude who shot Trump was MAGA too
From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!)

Yes, you are on a watchlist. Yes, you are in a databank. We all are. Yes, it’s a risk. No, silence won’t save you.

Drake also stepped back from his beef with Kendrick after “Not Like Us” dropped. Did that stop Kendrick? No, he took his hating all the way to the Super Bowl.

Don’t be fooled. Be like Kendrick.

They fucking disappeared Hamdan Ballal. Sheer impunity, knowing the US isn't going to say shit.

"As he was being treated in an ambulance, soldiers detained him and a second Palestinian man, the [Center for Jewish Nonviolence] said. It said his whereabouts were now unknown."

Noooooo!!! I just looked him up the other day to make sure he was okay. 🥺

Even when injured—even when his own friends & family were being martyred around him—he stayed w us & has been w us since the beginning, reporting live despite his own incomprehensible grief & pain.

Shame on all of us indeed.
Israel killed Al Jazeera journalist Hossam Shabat. He had already been injured in November 2024 in another deliberate targeted attack while doing his job.

He was only 23, and put to shame all of his western colleagues who decided to stay quiet. Shame on all of us.

The perfect encapsulation of the hollow, opportunistic nature of corporate DEI. It was all symbolic, purely focused on representation, and not grounded in any real practice of diversity, equity, and inclusion. It was a branding tactic, and as soon as it became inconvenient, it was dropped.

Appreciate the Denver Auditor, who does a great job fighting wage theft, whether it be bosses stealing directly from their workers or legislators stealing from workers on the bosses behalf.

Sending messages to our elected officials seems completely pointless lately, but I continue to send letters anyways. Looking forward to my infuriating form responses back
This was Hickenlooper’s response to a Colorado resident being trapped in North Gaza. Unfuckingbelievable.
