We’re all feeling down right now for obvious reasons, but anyone who shows up on my timeline just to scream “We’re all f___ed!” is an immediate block.
That kind of defeatist B.S will get us nowhere fast.

Excellent article (gift link) from Adam Serwer at the Atlantic. A salient point among many salient points is that the Trumpists are fragile posturing cowards who are unprepared to face real courage and solidarity, and in fact don't believe it exists.

The only solutions Mose & Ryker are offering for the #Avs to beat the Sen’s press is to just play harder & “have a really good period of hockey.” Forget about tactics for beating a zone trap etc. Altitude really needs to have JML involved in the commentary. Wishful thinking doesn’t cut it. #GoAvsGo

We dedicated much of tonight's program to an in-depth look at what Colorado is doing to prevent - and prepare for - President Trump's violent crackdown by federal forces potentially coming to Colorado. This is a thread of those reports.

I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

Good question.
1) Covering substantive issues is harder than repeating press releases and reading the crime blotter
2) Challenging power and calling out BS makes powerful people angry
3) There is an audience for the old 'litany of tragedy' local news model of gawking at others' misfortune

Again, I ask: Why can't local news elsewhere be this factual and informative instead of fluff stories and "live" shots from the scene where some horrific crime happened more than a day ago?
People in Colorado have no idea how fortunate they are.

Trump has lost his mind. His speeches are insane, misspelled ravings about the 2020 election, filled with bad grammar and shotgun caps. If this guy were a mayor in Anytown, USA, he would be told politely but firmly to surrender the gavel and get medical help.
