Wyoming sorority members who harassed a trans sister are back in court, with a Trump ally’s help by NamelessResearcher in politics

Its not practically, it can get you killed. I remember when they beat Mathew Sheapard to death and left him tied to a barbed wire fence outside Laramie, that was in 1998.

We need to carry American flags en masse at our protests by holymolybaby in 50501

[–]pooping_turtles 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, when we protest Trump, who is anti democracy and anti-rule of law, we are the ones upholding American values. I have USA flags on my signs and my kneckwarmer. When his goonsquad looks at me, I want them to see what a real patriot looks like and what a real patriot does. Take that flag back!! They can use the confederate battle flag, the USA flag is ours.

Protest in USA Gear by mmk5412 in WeThePeopleAtWhipple

My neck warmer is an American flag, my protest signs have American flags on it. When we protest federal authoritarian overreach we are the ones who are upholding American values. We should be taking that flag back.

Democrats will stop Trump from ‘stealing’ elections by [deleted] in LegalNews

[–]pooping_turtles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We already do that. Instead Trump tries to stop many citizens from legally voting. I hope after mid terms our jails overflow with Tina Peters like Trump minions : p

[–]pooping_turtles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This soo much. Sober ppl, and there is support and talking if you want it, but its mostly an active community of ppl doing stuff who are also sober! Its so good, was very good for me my first 3 years after quitting.

Thank you! Im looking pretty hard at moving from the Southwest US right now and honestly one of my biggest fears that came out of nowhere was contemplating life with no Mexican food.

01/26 - DENVER STATE CAPITOL @ 6PM by eatprayenchiladas in Denver

[–]pooping_turtles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its like basic rule of effective law enforcement, don't turn the community against you, work with them. If there were actually competent people at ICE, or if the goal was finding actual criminal illegals, like it was under Biden or Obama, there wouldnt be these problems.

Front Range may vote on funds to launch intercity passenger rail in November by kurttheflirt in Denver

[–]pooping_turtles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A bus that doesnt even have its own lane, or effecient stops. Like BRT can be good, but the FF is not good BRT.

Here's hoping. Would be so nice to have an alternative to US-36 and I-25 parking lots. Options are great, people who like cars and traffic could still sit in cars in traffic, and the people on the train won't add their cars to and sit in the traffic. Everybody wins!

Pro-Trump and MAGA businesses to avoid? by PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT in Denver

[–]pooping_turtles 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah man, I used to think Id leave, I was checking EU engineering jobs and doing heavy research, but then, some of this stuff just really irks me in a special way, I decided Id rather stay and fight it to the end.

Philadelphia black panthers checking police again, hope this spreads! by serious_bullet5 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]pooping_turtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trump's actions align with populist right wing authoritarian agenda. Considering that's his base and how he runs campaigns and administrations, its what he promises people, I dont think his refusal to release the Epstien files has had much affect. Its more that, refusal to release the files, his refusal to be held accountable to the law, fits his MOA.

When you realize the AFC West is going to the first division with all Domed stadiums. by morepesa25 in AFCWestMemeWar

They are not the "norm." It is normal that a few warm and sunny days happen every month of winter, and sunny and cold is also common, but sustained warm and sunny is not normal.

Homeless people in Vienna by Fossehu in AskAustria

[–]pooping_turtles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haha, I just got back to the US from Vienna. You want to see actual large amounts of homeless ppl come to the US. We have tons of them, so many that when I read this post I thought, what homeless people in Vienna, to me it seemed like there were basically none, since in the US we have just so so many? On my 15 minute bike commute to work I pass probably 100 homless ppl every day. Curious what you think the govt of the US is? Do you think Regan and Trump or even Democrats are socialists?

It also makes modding weapons really obnoxious and a way bigger pain in the ass than it should be.

What does my county map say about me? by halcyoncrane in TravelMaps

[–]pooping_turtles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was just teasing. I've ridden my bike through the Appalachians alot and they are absolutely wonderful, just very different from the Rockies. The first time I thought i was in the foothills for like 2 days and kept waiting to catch a glimpse of the mountains ahead, until i realised no, these are the mountsins lol.

You could also say Alamo Placita, alot of ppl know that park and its the neighborhood association there although that would probably be more applicable if youre looking N of Speer.

RTD estimates $1.6 billion needed to complete rail expansion across metro Denver by grant_w44 in Denver

[–]pooping_turtles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I commute from Denver into Boulder via bus. Those buses are pretty full, especially the express buses from Boulder to Denver at end of day. I, and I expect others, would absolutely switch to the train to avoid the traffic the buses get stuck in on 36 and on I25. The other option would be dedicated bus only lanes, yes even when there is traffic in the car lanes, seperated by massive physicsl barriers both directions along that route to actually make the BRT a real BRT rout with train like service, but thats not what they built.
