as much as I loathe BoBo - we ran her out of CO-03 3 years ago - and would love for this 'story' to be true....this reads like a wholly unsubstantiated cheap porno smear job. - perhaps the reason no actual journalism sites have moved this story thus far. www.americanmuckrakers.com/p/breaking-e...

Much as I would *like* to favor BlueSky over Twits-ville - primarily due to political & cultural sympathies - I will admit I spend far more time in twit-land than here. - Why? becasue the reflexively dumb posters on BS are (to my surprise) more so than the dumb posters I run into over in Elmo-land.

Today hurts, goddamn it. I thought Vietnam was my generation's Pearl Harbor. Turns out we had another one coming at us - 25 years after America's withdrawal from Saigon. Much closer to home. 9/11

@philforcolorado.bsky.social as a lifelong Colorado Dem voter - and former 2nd CD staffer, and Guv campaign manager - I will vote in the Dem guv primary for the candidate who has done the most to oppose this disgusting president's agenda. - either Phil or @bennet.senate.gov - Convince me.

@nexton9news.bsky.social Kyle then blocked me when I challenged him on it. He loves to dish it out to Colorado's white whales - but has been notably thin-skinned himself in response to respectful criticism, usually choosing to come back with 'zingers' & college-level snark. Let's hope he matures.

@nexton9news.bsky.social Kyle made his name via pithy commentary and clear analysis. There was none of that in yeterday's Tina Peters' (alleged) 'remorse' segment. No critical thinking. He acted at a sanewashing stenographer for her attorney. No pushback whatsoever. The Tony Dokoupil of Colorado.

@danlamothe.bsky.social You will of course remember Kennedy's 'advisers' to the RSV. pretty sure those were as boots on the ground-y as any Dildo Don uraniam extraction forces in Iran would be. (you blocked me on the Elmo-site, no idea why, as I have been and remain an admirer of your work......)

Greg 'the bovine' Bovino seems to have a death wish - due to his miserable childhood in NC (abusive, criminal alcoholic dad, and abanoned while in high school). - and Minneapolis has a long tradition of serious, and armed, anarchist groups. (don't ask me how I know this thx.) Bring it on.

There are thousands of images of the ICE assault on America. This is one of many that should haunt every person who did anything along the way to get the country to this nightmarish point. We are killing moms, grabbing grandfathers, pepper spraying clergy & kidnapping children. Shame. Shame. Shame.
