Carolyn Joy could barely watch Tuesday night as the results on Colorado’s election webpage changed by the minute. The owner of Joy Wine and Spirits, a family-run liquor store near Cheesman Park, had conscripted her entire family in a grassroots campaign against three alcohol-related measures on this year’s ballot — all of them funded by large, out-of-state corporations that would make it easier for national chains to grab a foothold in Colorado’s liquor market. So, in between refreshing the state’s website and texting other small business owners, Joy turned to TikTok videos of funny animals and mountain biking to ease her anxiety. “I always felt we had a chance,” Joy said. She was right. Coloradans, in a series of surprise results Tuesday, overwhelmingly rejected one measure that would have allowed liquor stores the ability to operate unlimited locations.

  • Trump Claimed Americans ‘Split the Atom’—New Zealanders Would Like to Have a Word
    Time, Tuesday - 01/21/2025 - 01:00 AM

    WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Among other false and misleading claims in U. S. President Donald Trump’s inauguration addresses on Tuesday, his declaration that Americans “split the atom” prompted vexed social media posts by New Zealanders, who said the achievement belonged to a pioneering scientist revered in his homeland. Ernest Rutherford, a Nobel Prize winner known as the father of nuclear physics, is regarded by many as the first to knowingly split the atom by artificially inducing a nuclear reaction in 1917 while he worked at a university in Manchester in the United Kingdom. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The achievement is also credited to English scientist John Douglas Cockroft and Ireland’s Ernest Walton, researchers in 1932 at a British laboratory developed by Rutherford.

  • Trump Frees Violent January 6 Attackers
    Mother Jones, Monday - 01/20/2025 - 08:58 PM

    President Donald Trump on Monday granted clemency to nearly 1,600 people who joined in the January 6 attack on Congress that he himself caused. Hours after returning to office, Trump announced he was giving “full, complete and unconditional” pardons to nearly all “individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.” Trump also announced commutations of prison sentences for the handful of January 6 convicts not given full pardons—14 top members of the far-right Oath Keepers militia and Proud Boys—freeing them from lengthy prison sentences. These actions mean that Stewart Rhodes, the Oath Keepers leader who was sentenced to 18 years in prison following his conviction for seditious conspiracy and other crimes for planning violence on January 6, is a free man.
