Something to keep in mind as we head into 2026. Quote is from JRR Tolkien Lord of The Rings. The quote concludes: “There’s some good in this world, Mr Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for”.

Hey, elected leaders, unless you are actively trying to stop the daily violence and unconstitutional entries, searches, detentions, by ICE on our streets, then you are ENDORSING the terror Americans are feeling at the hands of these untrained, unrestrained, masked, mob of government employees.

And now the FBI is taking complete control of the investigation. We all know the fix is in. These goons can act without any fear of accountability. Imagine what they’re doing to all the people they’ve taken into custody far from any witnesses.

If we're going to spiral into a budget crisis, can we at least be trying to help regular Idahoans while we're at it, instead of tax cuts and school vouchers for the rich? As Idaho Legislature readies to reconvene, one former state senator asks: Are we in Kansas?

Trans Day of Remembrance is a somber reminder of the impacts pervasive transphobia and an epidemic of violence bring to our trans community. Our gender identity should never make us a target. This day also reminds us of our responsibility to keep each other safe and speak out against injustice.

A law was passed a long time ago to place a plaque on the wall to honor the officers who defended the Capitol on J6. The plaque is done and has been ready to hang up for a long time. MAGA Mike refuses to comply with that law, which is a slap in the face to every officer.

In case you need a hint about what the Benny Hill nonsense in Portland is supposed to be distracting from: A judge in South Carolina told the Trump administration they couldn't have the state's voter data. THEY BLEW UP HER HOUSE.

Tyranny Is Managed Into Existence | Defector
One of the things that a visit to the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg gets across very effectively is that a policy of monstrous repression was built on details—the details of paperwork and procedures and regulations, a parody of rational administration built around deranged and evil goals. Early on, a wall carries a list of the […]
