This article makes clear that "open borders" means any immigration. idahonews.com/news/nation-...

I don't know if this is happening in Idaho, but we do have undocumented immigrants serving time in IDOC, who will be immediately deported once released.

I have talked to people who are delaying parole hearings, and their potential release, to stave off being banished to another country.

Honestly, everyone who hates ICE uses the phrase "F*** ICE" or "abolish ICE". "Anti-ICE" is how ICE describes its critics.

WTAF??

This blog commented that the legislature ought to consider repealing some drug laws and engaging in sentencing reform. The amount Idaho spends locking up low-level, nonviolent drug offenders is obscene.

“Disband Idaho DOGE — this state already runs at razor-thin funding for essential services,” one submitter wrote. “It’s a performative political stunt.” ❤️

It's a basic point, but one that needs to be repeated: If right-wingers and their views were popular, they would not be so desperate to control mass media & social media nor to use government power to silence everyone else, and they wouldn't need oligarchs pumping billions into amplifying them.

“I see protest as a genuine means of encouraging someone to feel the inconsistencies, the horror, of the lives we are living. Social protest is to say that we do not have to live this way." — Audre Lorde

For those of us in the PNW, the 15 hour wait to change our tires heralds the beginning of winter.

So, that's what we do now? Just kill people with drones on the open ocean?

Even if you take the most lenient possible interpretation -- that SCOTUS has made it increasingly hard to prosecute bribery and corruption -- you still have to ask what kind of crooked-ass administration hires a guy who just took $50k cash.

This is disgusting. ICE agents are disgusting. Inhumane. Unethical. Barbaric.

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

A deeply important read.

Stephen Miller called the Democratic Party a "domestic terror organization"

When asked about the extreme drop in young registered voters in Idaho after passing the student ID ban law, Idaho Rep. Brent Crane said, without shame, “These laws are doing exactly what they were supposed to do.” #idpol

A coalition of public school advocates announced Wednesday that it’s filing a lawsuit seeking to block House Bill 93, Idaho’s first private school choice program. From our friends at @idahoednews.bsky.social: #idleg #idpol

One thing that bothers me tonight in particular is how so much of this is happening because of grand and sweeping capitulation by the media, by companies, by Congress, by people in power. Even when they don’t have to — they simply comply, acquiesce, and appease.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

WTF is this? Normalizing authoritarianism repression as an electoral strategy www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

A man was killed in Chicago last weekend by ICE. There is no evidence he was dangerous or was acting unsafe.

Do this! Also, if you want any chance of your question making it beyond the screener, you have to pitch a right-leaning question. They screen calls for softball questions only.

Just from a quick skim of his X feed, by "terrorist" he includes the entire Democratic Party and immigrants never charged with any crime. And of course today Vance was saying the same about every liberal non-profit, too.

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

“I was fired from my state job for a comment on Instagram,” a former labor department employee said in an online post. “Ask me anything.”

waiting for the punditry to call out this example of political violence

3-item thread on moving forward. Let us continue to build trust and relationships with our comrades, our friends, our neighbors. We can't control what others are doing and saying, but we can work with each other.

Looks like it's time for a Devo song describing our times: www.youtube.com/watch?v=56u6...

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

A week ago, Stephen Miller called the Democratic Party a "domestic terrorist organization"

The anniversary of Super J.J.'s death is coming up on Sept. 22, and what a wonderful way to honor him and his legacy by helping these folks reach their goal: givebutter.com/jjhsf2025?em...

they didn't do this when democratic lawmakers were targeted by a gunman. the mainstream media barely peeped when a Kyle Rittenhouse fan did a mass shooting at a Portland protest. Democrats and the mainstream media are just terrified of conservatives to the point where no one else's lives matter

I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Charlie Kirk’s ultimate goal, which he said time and time again, would have been the suppression, through threat of violence and the use of state power, of the rights of those he disagreed with, including freedom of expression. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

Can we be clear that a bunch of Kirk supporters physically attacked a person for yelling an expletive about Kirk while the mob yelled "USA"? So,nKirk was deserving of free speech, but his detractors are not?

The man who called MLK "awful" and "not a good person" and hated the 1965 Civil Rights Acts was "doing politics the right way"

The vague term "political violence" is used specifically bc of its elasticity. It can be contorted to include a murder (despite the motive and perpetrator being unknown), property damage (committed for life-preserving reasons), or protesters using signs as shields when they are attacked by police.

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

We don't even know if this was political violence. We know nothing about the killer or their motivations.

Families spend an average of $4.2K annually per incarcerated relative. Story via @stateline.org. "One in 5 family members reported being forced to move due to a loved one’s incarceration, including 1 in 3 children of incarcerated parents, according to the report."

Looks like racism is legal now

Support this gal!

This should be enough for every Republican legislator in Idaho (Federal and State) to stop and question their agenda supporting this man and he stands for.

How many Dems voted for this again?

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Glad to see someone holding these goons accountable
