Well detailed. www.americanprogress.org/feature/trum...

So @hcrichardson.bsky.social has a post reviewing WWII War Department pamphlets teaching troops about how to spot and resist fascism. They seem awfully relevant. Give it a read, but mind Heather doesn’t steal your wife. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-9-...

More of this, please.

April Neale's review of this quintessentially #Idaho film gave me chills. I've got several books that I think would translate into great period piece films and this exemplifies the way it should be done. Its streaming on Netflix. I'm excited to watch it. www.ktvb.com/article/news...

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

A new feed from all our friends at @idahoreports.org 🎉 I'll get it added to the blueskyidaho.com feed list this weekend. #idaho #idpol #IdahoNews #idleg

“The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith.” www.ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-...

As the mother on "Absolutely Fabulous" once asked, "Just the one, dear?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=30cG...

IMO this is simply the dinner bell to be paid. It's leverage for him to get this banking money in his campaign coffers. (Crapo would block it anyway). He has no intention or legal ability to do this. This is our country on Citizens United. Dems have no choice but to go populist. $ has no loyalty.

At first glance she is a moderate #idgop who strongly backed the non-MAGA candidate for IF mayor. Former school board trustee (so was Horman) and solid LDS. It could be much worse. #idpol localnews8.com/news/2026/01...

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

Idaho 97’s Mike Satz participated in the press conference about the killing of Nicole Good at the Capitol prior to last night’s demonstration. He pointed out the inevitability of this senseless act happening given the aggressive policies of this administration towards its own citizens.

Are ICE agents offered a bounty? Their viscerally violent anger stemming from bigoted idealism is the stuff of Nazis.

More people are going to be murdered by ICE. It’s clear. The tactics ensure it, ICE is getting more furious and being disagreed with or resisted in any way, the verminous administration supports them and has shown they will tell any lie to support ICE murdering people. /1

"Men fear women will laugh at them; women fear men will kill them." -- Margaret Atwood, Waterloo University, February 1982

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

The jobs report is in. What a disaster.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

“Fuck ICE!” chants & a brass band performing “Which side are you on?” as hundreds march in Manhattan, NYC against ICE and in solidarity with Minneapolis.

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

Kudos to Mayor Mamdani and Governor Hochul. This is what governing for the people looks like. https://www.commondreams.org/news/hochul-backs-mamdani-childcare

I've lived in the major regions of Idaho and I can't remember a time when I didn't hear Aurthur's calm soothing voice playing the best, most eclectic music. Often it was when returning from some arduous back country trip. His voice said I was home. www.boisestatepublicradio.org/station-news...

I just watched two women get kidnapped right in front of me in Northeast Minneapolis. ICE is still terrorizing our city.

Confirmed here. katu.com/news/local/i...

BREAKING: House passes bill to extend health care subsidies despite GOP leadership's opposition, putting pressure on the Senate to act.

BREAKING: WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate advances a war powers resolution to limit further attacks on Venezuela and sets up a vote for final passage.

1. ICE will kill you. 2. Trumpists will lie to justify it. 3. Because they are all thug trash.

Meanwhile near where they killed Renee Good ICE was terrorizing a high school — and now Minneapolis has canceled school for the week. None of this is about safety. A lawless regime with no guardrails.

And why didn’t I do this many, many years ago? I knew who I was from my earliest childhood memories. But there was never any help or support or pathway, it was impossible for me. “Gender dysphoria” was a disqualifying “disorder” for my pilot’s license until nine years ago.

"Now they'll circle the wagons Drape the man in a flag and say Don't trust what your eyes can see They'll say it's her fault instead For getting shot in the head When we all watched the same damn thing" www.youtube.com/watch?v=El0C... #JesseWelles #ICE

Treading on brown people. Racial profiling is all they do.

"An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from—not toward—a federal officer when he opened fire." Great video analysis of Minneapolis shooting from NYT. These frames show drawing of gun and exact moment of first shot. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Your reminder that the Forest Service has given a green light to restart the heap leaching at the Stibnite Mine also known as a superfund site. The toxic retention pond is in a drainage known as "Blowout Creek" which feeds some of the farthest inland chinook spawning grounds in the lower 48. #idpol

Escalation to watch for: civil and criminal threats against people calling the ICE murder a murder, especially state and local officials and members of Congress. The regime must constantly escalate.

I'm very confused by snowpack maps demonstrating average amounts. Jackson Lake is 70% full which makes more sense given the warm temps. I just can't make sense of Snotel. 'Help me @zebpalmer.com, you're my only hope.' www.jhnewsandguide.com/opinion/edit...

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to ICE: "Get the fuck out of Minneapolis."

ice agents simply aren't trained well enough to be on the street. they are a genuine danger to citizens

For all my fellow Cassandras...

Idaho AG Raul Labrador has decided to cut paid parental leave in their office from 8 weeks to 40 HOURS. It says 2 weeks, but 40 hrs is 1 week. 2 weeks is still barbaric. Please take a moment to call & let him know what you think. They’re trying to stop women from working. +1 (208) 334-2400

/5 In short, you can’t negotiate with people who are pathologically insecure and think it is unmanly to keep your word or obey the law.

Note that DHS's new statement on the ICE killing in Minneapolis today closely tracks the version of events they initially put out about the shooting in Chicago:

I want to find the consultant who convinced Dems to stick with this framing, tie them to a stake, light a match, and tell everyone they have to decide between caring about saving them or caring about milk being 2% cheaper

Never forget that they hate the constitution. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXnH...
