My niece is flight coordinator for Dog Is My CoPilot and came to Boise today with 21 rescue puppies for the Idaho Humane Society. Our area has a great reputation for dog adoptions. Keep an eye on the IHS website for the puppy profiles!

In retrospect, seems bad that we played Fox News 24/7 on USAmerican military bases worldwide for the last 25 years.

#Idaho people what do we know about this as far as our local offices. I’m going to see what I can find out about the offices here in McCall. Jfc just in time for one of the potentially worst fire seasons we’ve had in a long time.

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

I like senators who *don't* sell out public lands. So I won't be voting for SenatorRisch. #idpol #PublicLands @achillesid.bsky.social www.idahostatesman.com/opinion/read...

This was The Beatles’ final public performance — their legendary rooftop concert on January 30, 1969.The show wasn’t publicly announced, so it took everyone by complete surprise. Crowds quickly gathered on the streets and nearby rooftops as the Fab Four rocked Savile Row

Fungi are considered distinct organisms belonging to their own unique kingdom, not plants. While they were historically classified with plants, they are biologically more closely related to animals.

A genocidal threat from a U.S. president is beyond dangerous. Escalating strikes while threatening to wipe out an entire civilization puts innocent Iranian civilians and Americans at risk. These are intentional war crimes. We need to invoke the 25th Amendment now to stop these violations.

Seems bad that our *partner* in this war has what basically amounts to a ceasefire veto where they can drop bombs (we gave them) on civilians, shattering any deal to end a conflict we all know they want to keep going.

Keep in mind during primaries and later, during the general election that the same people who brought us to where we are will not be the ones who fix it. Vote accordingly.

The fossil fuel industry is probably the biggest fraud apparatus in the history of mankind. It should be joyous to take that machine down. #EEODayRI

First the city council in this Missouri city approved a $6 billion data center, despite massive pushback. Then, during yesterday’s election in Festus, MO, residents overwhelmingly voted to kick out the incumbents who voted for the project. America is fed up with data centers.

Oil from an Iranian ship struck near the Strait of Hormuz threatens to poison one of the region's most important wetlands. Local fishing communities depend on the mangrove forest for food. If oil reaches them, it's likely to kill the fish they need to survive. share.google/hpVAKkuAVy9J...

That's for sure. He is definitely not American citizens first.

Once again the orange bully brings us to the brink of terror but then offers a two week truce History has already labeled him a disgrace, and he has proven yet again there is no low he can achieve as a human being. Two weeks of "truce" now to manipulate the markets

Take heart — people are in the streets. Chicago marched through the Loop demanding accountability. You can’t bully the world into peace. You can’t terrorize people in the name of humanity. #ImpeachAndRemoveNow

The world intelligence agencies have a two week window to leak the complete Epstein Files. It’s actually a very prudent and economical act of national defense. We can’t keep letting him put us through this.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

All of Us Should Be Able To Agree With This…..

All the little quail hatched out today. The hen had laid a bunch of eggs in a planter and she hunkered down under last season’s dried-out basil. I went out to check on them today and they were just leaving the nest. I counted 11 on the ground and another 5 still bopping around in the planter.

“War itself is, of course, a form of madness. It’s hardly a civilized pursuit. It’s amazing how we spend so much time inventing devices to kill each other and so little time working on how to achieve peace.” ~Walter Cronkite. Image: Library of Congress.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

The forces arrayed against the ag economy this year are formidable. All were predictable in one form or another. This was predicted by climate change. Tariffs and the Iran War make fertilizer and diesel prohibitive. No snow pack with El Nino on the horizon. #idpol www.opb.org/article/2026...
