Just going to leave this here. This if from 2014. www.thenation.com/article/arch...

By the way, if you’re on the side of thinking that ICE is going to win whatever this “war” against the people they talk about…. They aren’t And the statute of limitations goes past three years for a lot of crimes

Oh, hello, you handsome dapper gent!

How about they prioritize eating shit?

Last night, on our Congress floor, THEY DEBATED ABOUT SHOWER HEADS. Yes. I’m serious. Not Venezuela. Not ICE. Not Epstein. Donald Trump wants rich ppl showers AND THAT IS WHAT CONGRESS IS DOING WITH THEIR TIME RN. I beg you, please call them: 5calls.org/issue/ice-ra...

Ken is a beacon. I also love Jeopardy. Here’s a thread about why not to run around dooming.

Anti ICE protest tomorrow, Boise City Hall, 6pm.

Wrens help when everything feels scary & rotten.

Looks like Congress has been quietly undoing some Trump damage. ‘“Passing these bills will help ensure that Congress, not Trump & Russ Vought, decides how taxpayer dollars are spent…” Murray said in a statement.’ Consolidated wildfire agency on hold, for now. www.eenews.net/articles/tak...

I am celebrating one year off of Meta apps. Fuuuuuuuck those awful places. Good. Riddance. And my business is flourishing. I thought it would struggle - that’s why I stayed so long.

My niece shared this carefully crafted comment from TT with me: “Empathy died when you guys reelected Trump. You made fun of us for decades for showing empathy. This is the liberalism you wanted, it’s now the liberalism you got. Eat shit.”

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

Please call your lawmakers regularly this year. I know it’s intimidating at first. That wears off. It’s our responsibility to actively participate in our democracy. Republicans call 4 to 1 on everyday issues & 11 to 1 on hotbutton issues. So they get listened to. 5calls.org

Let's not get distracted from the Epstein files.

lol. And *sigh*.

The real story of the “Revolutionary War” was just torture, genocide, & horrifying treatment of Native Americans. Oh! And the unspeakable horrors of the Atlantic Slave Trade. In a way, I find it comforting that we aren’t descending into a new era of terrible Americans. It’s ALWAYS been this way.

Take Trump literally and seriously. Banish into the sun all the hacks who told us we were being hysterical & radical. Ignore them forever. This is a white nationalist regime in service of an international broligarchy that won't stop until it drinks all our milkshakes. Venezuela was the start...

That's the plan

Noticing that ole Paine speaks in absolutes & hyperbole. A thing I dislike about Tmurp. Is that key to persuading the masses? I’d love to hear thoughts.

Reading “Common Sense” for the first time. Wasn’t expecting ole Thomas Paine to make me laugh so much. He uses as much hyperbole as a teenager. Maybe that’s important for being effectively persuasive. My dive into US history & foundational documents to understand how we got here continues.

I want to engage with art on BlueSky, but I’m not into cartoon animal perv content (no judgies, just not my bag). Anyone got tips?

Watching the PBS Ken Burns’ American Revolution special. I didn’t realize that young George III was kind of a snack. He was pretty. Ladies pay for such lips.

Copying & pasting the talking points Stephen Miller & Marco Rubio sent via Signal into an email that I’ll receive in 3 weeks.

THIS is how you write a statement.

It’s giving

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Convoluted, confusing, weak to the point of embarrassing. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social - wtf

Our screech owls don’t nest until February but they did their first stop-by inspection of the nest box this week last year, so my husband made sure it was ready. We keep it closed due to squirrels otherwise. Hopefully we passed.🤞 This’ll be year 3 w/owlets if so. #leroyandlucille #birds #🪶 #owls

The House Armed Services Committee also was not briefed, I've confirmed.

Just dropped a watch by The Haute Horologist (Boise - North End) to be sized. Seems like a cool little watch & clock repair shop to support. Now that I’m a no-go on smart watches, I’ll be needing them.

Bathroom graffiti in #Boise, Idaho. Five stars ⭐️. “FIGHT FASCISM” “THE WORLD IS BETTER WITH YOU IN IT” “TRANS RIGHTS CANT BE ERASED” “PROTECT TRANSGENDER PEOPLE”

Dude. These stodgy great grandpas need to retire already. I don’t weed (or alcohol), but if the ppl around me were to only have access to alcohol OR weed, I know which one I’d pick. Ain’t even close.

Just heard of a friend’s parent in the hospital with Covid. Been meaning to get that booster.

I hope Congress acts asap to make this guidance ultimately unnecessary, but until then, offering some guidance and tips if you or a loved one’s care access is being impacted due to federal inaction.

It was a decent reading year considering how busy I was.

Husb & I just signed up for an 8 week Spanish night class with a local program. Excited!

😭 I feel hope.

NYT Editorial Board: Why Zohran Mamdani should NOT be allowed to try to implement the policies he campaigned on and should instead, reach out to Erika Kirk.

I hope they have good insurance bc they have windows & injuries to pay for. www.reddit.com/r/Boise/s/k3...

So, the Idaho Potato Drop was lit last night. Looked like a warzone. I don’t have FB, but I was still able to watch this. www.facebook.com/100007103327...

Never mind. Got my abswer

Anyone know why they cut all those trees down at Kathryn Albertson Park?

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law. A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

If I stay up too late I accidentally wander into watching animal attack videos. I do not know why and I always regret it.

"If people stopped spending their money on evil corporations, those corporations would go out of business."

My BlueSky friends - You’ve helped me cope, taught me to be a better citizen, & worked your butts off to fight for a better world. You’ve helped me & my group be more effective. I see you. I appreciate you. You’ve made a difference. We’ll make even more difference in 2026.

NYE message to electeds: Read this aloud on their VM. Asked if they wld talk about a neighbor or someone in their church this way. Asked when they’ll take responsibility for supporting someone who talks like this. Thanked the staff who had to cope w/the fallout from this disastrous administration.
