Idaho Congressman Russ Fulcher wants to know what Idahoans think about the management and use of the state's federal lands. Nearly two-thirds of Idaho’s land is federal. He has supported selling or transferring large swaths of federal land to local control. #idpol From my colleague Laura Guido.

In regard to canary in a coal mine. Iterative fixes in politics are minimal change needed to continue a toxic system. What's the least costly fix to reduce deaths. Not what is the safest thing that can be done. It's about keeping the wheels on a bus going down a cliff with no brakes.

Now the cis folk are welcome to freak out. Trans people needed our moment to grieve. What they do to trans women they want to do to *all* women. Next up will be why do any women need locker rooms since they aren't playing sports anymore?

Decorum is about whose lives matter to the state and who's don't Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

As the economy worsens and more people suffer it's harder and harder to show humanity and kindness to people who show us how inhumane they are. I'll reserve pity and sympathy for decent humans. May nature feast upon his rotting body when the great equalizer death comes for him.

Our elections work, here in my state and across the US. No large scale fraud has ever been found but small scale is caught. Elections have consistently shown an ability to detect fraud and adequately avert it. This is not needed. It is clearly meant to undermine public trust in election integrity.

With my habits and asd stuff being in bed at a reasonable time, I took my meds. Thinking over the day and I ate three meals? Wow. And went for a walk after work? That's four of my 5 gold stars in my book. Makes that 3 minutes of isometric exercise tempting. Yeah, I have trouble doing those things.

When we prop up the myth that we need a Manly Man to save us, disaster is never far away. Whether it's because of leftish, slavering sexism; seeking to punish your mom or the "HR Lady"; feminist heteropessimism; leftist class-first politics (only manly white men can be working class!) it's all bad.

Not talking to people affected by the law is a form of erasure and dehumanizing tactics. It reduces trans people to some myth, or an ideology without ideologues. When news is absent of trans voices reporting about trans people is just strawmanning us.

Bringing in my pride flag so I can swap over to an American flag not gonna let fascists claim patriotism and the flag uncontested. Seriously debating flying it upside down though. Multiple groups of citizens and lawful residents are experiencing attempted genocide.

I've always know July as gay wrath month. Turns out it's disability pride. Gay Wrath month has been rescheduled for August. Meanwhile for anyone visibly or invisibly disabled, I want full as possible inclusion in society for you. That's your human right.

I think this post, in a great thread, really sums it up for a lot of us. I moved to a “safe” state 6 months ago but even here I still overall have fewer rights than I did a few years ago. My options for leaving the country are vanishingly small because of health and disability.

Anonymous neo-Nazi propagandist "Big Serge" has been identified. Good work. www.investigatewest.org/idaho-labor-...

I live in a red state. I have my passport valid for several more years. I could be stockpiling some of my hormones. It's the progesterone I worry about, it's the only thing that helps my depression. I'm middle class too. Wednesday was the first day of a bathroom law here in Idaho.

Causing hundreds of thousands of people to lose their jobs overnight, based on their nation of origin. This is literally genocidal. Trying to purge a whole people from our country. Eliminating them from access to public life, specifically a means of supporting themselves. Textbook fucking genocide

Mutual aid detective brainmind voice: "why are there so many black trans people homeless or about to be homeless and crowdfunding...couldn't be that there is a slow motion genocide on trans people and they're being affected first, it's all a scam. I am very intelligent."

Existence is resistance.

I need a bumper sticker of this. Maybe several it would be great to walk a parking lot and slap one next to the old version on cars that had the old one. Fuck the edgy radical conservativism and disinfo it used to deliver.

Liberals, the Trump administration wants to commit genocide on trans people here in America. I'm a survivor of a different genocide in Guatemala which targeted my family and I when I was a child, so I think I know what the fuck I'm talking about, actually. Please take this seriously. For your-

Trans people are undergoing an attempted genocide right now. No we don't care about how this will affect the cis. I'm busy surviving this. We are busy surviving. Yes cisgender folks are affected. Is that the only framing of it that gets your attention? Trans folks are being cut out of public life.

Sounds like 'if the backrooms were a state fair'.

Idaho folks, especially the ones outside of Boise. This video is a collection of 6 months of work within political processes, rallies, organizing, and nonviolent civil disobedience at work. If you feel alone out there, people in Boise are trying to stand for all of us. youtu.be/TnrNRJYhNlU #idaho

Why bother trusting anyone with this? So they can gather more names to not act on? Do something about the people in the Epstein files otherwise as far as I'm concerned you're just trying to build connections between pdf's. Act on what you have before asking for everyone else to give up their data.

Finally got my flag pole up. These colors don't run. Only got stung by one wasp in the process. The insect kind not the 1% kind. I can hang an American flag for the fourth (or nothing or upside down at my discretion). I'm ready now for when It happens.

So painful. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Risch wants to run on protecting public lands after supporting a candidate for bureau of land management that openly believes public lands shouldn't exist. www.idahostatesman.com/outdoors/art... #idaho deserves better.

Come on gangrene! If he won't die already (due to natural causes) then at least a visible and obvious amputation. It would devastate his fragile ego and he can't hide it. Since we've reached this level. I have a 1st amendment right to wish ill upon a politician. None of the above is in my power.

Right-wing politics are not punk. Nazi punks fuck off!

The transphobic harassment I've seen on bluesky is among the worst I've ever witnessed (and I've been a journalist for over 20 years). It almost always comes from liberals and enforcing deference to those in power is always the excuse. You're a liberal and ain't transphobia? Prove it. Do something.

TOMORROW! We're gonna be doing a Mutual Aid Marathon stream! We've got special guests, stretch goals, and a lot of housing and medical costs to raise funds for, so don't miss out! guests to include @riverboatjack.bsky.social @kiddbanditpro.bsky.social @ttbngaming.bsky.social PLEASE SHARE!

There’s a saying passed down from earlier generations of Black Texans who were there for the first Juneteenth: “It was not a piece of paper that freed the slaves, but the men with the guns.”

LLMs perpetuate underlying discriminatory patterns and biases. I'm not surprised, this was something that's been showing up any time it's tested for. More folks should understand this as the internet rapidly tries to force genAI upon us.

The reflecting pool algae situation is going to be literally do you trust trump or your own lying eyes. If trump declared it's reflecting green off the sky would they agree that the sky is green and that's the problem? We're going to see over the next week.

Yay! I'm transgender and ok this would have sucked most of my friends agreed that we would just comply if the law went in to effect. I was more worried for a loved one who does not conform to gender norms. What happens to them if they use the lawful bathroom but www.kivitv.com/news/federal...

Normally I'm cool with wired but this one is very out of touch. I'm a home 'owner', I got to a point where the mortgage to my income doesn't leave me house poor. That's a high bar for most people. Who is hiring home designers and then doing those home improvements?

Thinking about the trillionaire thing. I think any country that is or pretends to be capitalist should start hunting him down. It's fundamentally destabilizing to capitalist economies to have one person holding so much. The existence of a trillionaire is fundamentally a threat.

Closed primaries lead to more extreme candidates. Instead of both parties having someone sensible from each side we get the most extreme one who said all the right dog whistles and made all the right promises. They work for the minority of voters every time.

Seems like a good time to say I could leave. I could get the hell out of Idaho, even the US. I'm not going anywhere. I'm not giving up an inch of my country to fascists. Republicans like to tell myths about no go zones for white folks in inner cities. They're trying to make that for trans folks.

In spite of efforts to cut away the support systems many still exist. If anyone out there needs help these are some places to reach out to. It may be rainbow month but folks have the full range of emotions every day, even the depressed stuff.

Folks, we did it. An old man is literally yelling at a cloud.

That seems like a sign that the bills are about a problem that doesn't exist. Trans women in sports are few and far between and they aren't displacing the best women in sports.

A federal judge is considering whether to temporarily block Idaho’s new transgender bathroom ban law that will apply to private businesses. #idleg #idpol

Some folks who can leave are unwilling to, but many more are unable to leave the US anyway. The only way to remove trans visibility from society is genocide. If the trans folks are scared it's because we see imminent danger. The first trump EO was against migrants, the second was trans folks.

What in the not intolerance fuck is the label on this about? I want to give credit to the Pope for what he is doing, and I'm still open to hearing the whole org sucks. It's not intolerance to point out a powerful group is punching down at a group experiencing an attempted genocide.

Trump truly does not understand he is mortal, he is dying and he will be dead someday. A maximum of 2.5 years he can control the country and likely shorter than that. Sometimes I forget these things too. 22 weeks until general election by the way. Plan to vote, volunteer as poll worker if you can.

The general justification for a curfew is public safety. Keeping press out does not do that, and the press does not endanger public safety. This is preventing news from reporting anything about what's happening. See Velshi and other press being pushed way back from protests yesterday for example.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

If you have Signal backups enabled: Never ever give anyone your recovery code (and keep it safe; like in a password manager). If you get a message claiming to be from "Signal support" asking for a code or recovery key, it's always phishing. Don't share those things with anyone.

Every genocide rules itself lawful and the victims are somehow criminalized, or lawfully sent to a camp 'for their protection.' Imagine a good law abiding person being thrown into prison because some ordinary aspect of her life was criminalized. Like say, using a bathroom.
