This should not be happening

The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis—and then called her a “fucking bitch” moments before she died in her car—was only placed on three days of administrative leave and continues to work for the agency in another state. trib.al/C3bEEAM

What Extreme Heat Is Like in U.S. Prisons

Her comparisons to William Wallace! "I am but a poor humble MEMBER OF THE IDAHO LEGISLATURE using my power to hurt those I don't like. FREEDOOOOOM!"

Read that again. This Louisiana bill forces homeless people to choose between jail and "treatment"—and if they can't pay for the latter, they will be forced to perform unpaid labor. The historical precedents are clear: convict leasing, Black Codes, debtor's prison.

Overcrowding, bad (no) medical care, not enough food, filth — these are average and expected in this country’s jails and prisons everywhere. ICE detention conditions aren’t below the norm — that’s the norm. That’s what 2 million ppl and their families experience every day.

A new analysis finds that tech giant Palantir Technologies paid $0 in federal income taxes last year, despite raking in hundreds of millions in taxpayer money to build out a mass network to surveil Americans in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security.

NEW: A new letter from the Idaho Transportation Department is telling immigrants to submit citizenship or lawful presence documents, prompting worries of deportation. Why is it new? ITD now has access to a federal citizenship status verification program. More: www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

WHY ISN'T IDAHO DOING THIS????

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").

For all those that conditionally support immigration "done the right way", here is another egregious case of an immigrant doing everything right and that still not being enough.

"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."

Maybe we need to undo some tax cuts??

What questions would you ask of Senators Risch & Crapo if they ever bothered to have a town hall?

Empty chair town hall in Moscow Apr 18. Sen. Crapo & Risch will be in the same building at the same time for a fundraiser, but declined our invitation to this event. If they have time for a fundraiser, they have time to meet with their constituents.

Love this. We also need committees to actually listen and consider Idahoan's testimony, no bills written by national think tanks, and for the IDLEG to take the fiscal impact seriously. idahocapitalsun.com/2026/04/13/s...

*Idaho cracks knuckles*

Hideous concentration camps. In America.

The government loses yet another case against protesters/bystanders accused of assaulting federal officers during ICE raids and protests in California last summer

🧵Missed diagnoses, delayed treatment and poor medical care are driving record deaths in ICE custody. @kolyncheang.bsky.social and I spent months investigating the deaths of ICE detainees across the US. Over and over again, we found lapses in treatment that proved fatal.

Let us be clear: We have a First Amendment right to record federal agents working in public.

BREAKING: in March 2026, *every single one* of the 1,341 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans: In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 4,496 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

"Experts are dubious"

The @washingtonpost.com describes the deaths of an estimated 750,000 people to date as "messy"

"Experts are dubious" is doing *a lot* of work. Experts in....physics? teleportation? comic book writers? They were tracked down by @nytimes.com and asked "is teleportation possible?" And in an attempt to be fair, the claim is labelled "dubious" not "impossible"? Sorry, what on earth is this BS??

about to touch down in dc so i wanna tell a brief story about how a trip to idaho changed me forever

As someone who lives in a town these folks want to take over--through voting--they do not practice what they preach

This explain what's been happening and why that rejected bill won't die. Apparently, the White House gets to determine laws for Idaho, not Idahoans.

NEW: The White House sent a letter to Idaho lawmakers last week, urging them to pass immigration legislation in the state that law enforcement has told them NOT to pass. It’s something Democratic Sen. James Ruchti saw and thought, “This is weird.” Here’s more: www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

We are really underestimating how much the MCU's winter soldier appears to contribute to right wing thinking

"Gorsuch, last justice of the Mohicans" 😂

Of course he signed HB 752 today. Gov Little has no shame. 🖕🏻everyone who voted for this little man.🖕🏻 the Idaho Family Policy Center.🖕🏻the Alliance Defending Freedom.🖕🏻the bill sponsors and supporters. To everyone affected by this terrible bill: I see you. I love you. They can’t erase you.

The data we are getting out of ICE now conclusively destroys their "worst of the worst" narrative. Since the Los Angeles raids began in June last year, there has been a massive expansion of ICE arrests against people with no criminal record, while arrests of others remained flat.

Honestly cannot think of a time I knew less what was going to happen at court than I feel ahead of oral arguments on birthright citizenship tomorrow. The fact that this is getting a full hearing instead of a 9-0, per curiam, benchslap is already beyond disturbing.

there is only one right answer regarding birthright citizenship. that it's even being entertained as an open question legit makes me feel physically unwell

the very name of this bill is so masks off and indicative that the people writing these bills (usually not Idahoans) want to end *all* immigration.

Jailing people increases crime in the long run

There is a right wing argument that the 14th amendment was to grant citizenship *only* to former slaves. This case made clear that the intention all along was to grant citizenship of everyone born in the country, including those of immigrants.

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

"the lawsuit asks the courts to stop the agency from making arrests without warrants or probable-cause determinations, and to make the government pay the expenses and legal fees of those who were improperly detained..." www.newsfromthestates.com/article/laws...
