Across the country this week, voters sided with fascism, criminality and schoolyard cruelty.

But the picture is different in Colorado, which in the election Tuesday showed unusual resistance to America’s drift toward authoritarianism. While disconsolation befell so much of America as a vengeful autocrat claimed a mandate to lead the country, Coloradans who still value the Constitution and cherish democracy had some reason to feel righteous.

The person who discovered the exposed passwords on the SOS website for 100s of Colorado voting machines was Shawn Smith, he just testified in court. Smith once suggested the SOS should hang for election fraud. He was part of the mob that clashed with police on Jan. 6 in D.C. When Smith suggested CO SOS Jena Griswold should hang. coloradonewsline.com/2022/02/11/far…

BREAKING: Mesa County GOP head says multiple people told him Clerk Tina Peters' rep Sherronna Bishop, podcaster Joe Oltmann, and Stand for the Constitution members plotted to "storm the Clerks Office and destroy the Voting Machines," in Facebook exchange with Bishop's husband. The exchange came in a post Mesa County GOP Chair Kevin McCarney put on Facebook Friday night. He called for the Republican Peters to resign as clerk. Peters lost the GOP primary for secretary of state but has baselessly claimed fraud in the election.

They called Joe O'Dea a "moderate."

Here's the problem with that.

#copolitics #cosen Consider how far we've fallen:

➡️Trump does violent attempted coup
➡️Stop-the-steal still going
➡️Democratic norms trashed
➡️34 new laws in 19 states restrict voter access
➡️120 election-related criminal penalties in 26 states

By last night before today's deadline for election officials in Colorado’s 64 counties to complete a recount of Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters’ primary election loss in June, the GOP candidate for Colorado SOS did not appear to have gained any ground beyond single-digit votes. Peters, an election denier who claimed fraud in the June 28 GOP primary, which she lost to Pam Anderson by 14 percentage points, paid about $255,000 to state authorities to have the recount undertaken.

Putin's invasion of Ukraine should reanimate the horror with which all peaceful people have viewed nuclear weapons since their inception, and it should reignite the worldwide movement to abolish them.

This is especially true in Colorado, a prime nuclear target. Colorado is by design a prime target for a Russian nuclear attack, because a substantial batch of US ICBMs is deployed to silos in a patch of prairie that straddles NE, WY and CO. @coloradoan

If the #MarshallFire enters Rocky Flats, especially the still-off-limits central operable unit, where the worst radioactive pollution occurred, it would be reasonable to wonder if the smoke plumes carried plutonium contamination. Independent analyses have identified plutonium particles even along Indiana Street, part of which is under evac orders. There's not much debate about whether there's plutonium in the soil, the point of contention is how much.

Many conservatives suffer from a compulsion to be photographed shooting, brandishing or fondling firearms.

It’s looney.

But it also contributes, in ways that don’t get enough attention, to the epidemic of gun violence in America. On Monday, five people were killed as a result of the latest paroxysm of gun violence in Colorado. In a healthy society, such a heinous act of violence would be extraordinary. But our society is sick, and such violence is routine.
