A SECOND person died of exposure last winter after DHS dumped them in the middle of nowhere, miles from their home, without notifying their family.

Damn, this woman sucks. Sympathy to all our VA peeps dealing with this.

New horror awaiting detained immigrants: huge fines for staying the U.S. after a deportation order, sometimes reaching millions of dollars www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/a...

What if taxing the rich works?

Another reminder for those who support immigration "the right way". The admin has decided there is no "right way" and it creatively trying to remove all paths to immigrating to the US

NEW RESOURCE! Media folks: check out our new guide on covering anti-trans rhetoric & the criminalization of trans people. By Arielle Rebekah of Trans & Caffeinated Communications, IC Abolition Journalism Fellow Lewis Raven Wallace, & our cofounder Andrea J. Ritchie. bit.ly/TransCrimina...

With the highest incarceration rate of any independent democracy, the U.S. continues to incarcerate more people than any other country. Nearly 2 million people are locked up in the U.S., according to @prisonpolicy.org’s 2026 report.

With an annual income of 185,432, Police Chief Rex Ingram is Caldwell's second-highest paid employee. And, as part of a settlement agreement, the city has agreed to pay out his salary — eight times over — to resolve a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former officer. The grand total? $1.5M.

the common thread linking people on death row is that (1) they are from poverty (and cannot afford adequate legal counsel); and (2) they were likely victims of horrific and criminal violence in their past.

One reason I hate death penalty cases is that capital punishment is incredibly stupid and irrational. It's cruel, expensive, and serves no deterrent effect. It's rarely imposed, except against a tiny minority of unlucky defendants—and in those cases, racism almost always plays a role. Just end it.

These happen in Idaho. Mothers and babies are drug tested without their knowledge or consent during delivery and law enforcement is notified. Epidurals can result in a positive test!

We'll see if it holds, but another proposed data center in rural, heavily Republican America has gone down after massive pushback.

Idaho folks: if you are in Valley Elmore, Boise or Ada counties, you can vote for judge. I highly recommend Jeff Street. It’s a nonpartisan election, so it’s on every ballot.

wow.

This story is making the rounds, with many people commenting that (1) this is on brand for the GOP, and (2) it is false to call a child a "prostitute" (they are a trafficking victim). Both miss that this was a police sting: there was no victim of any age.

"Women's Health Month is not merely a season for celebration. It is a call to accountability. If we truly mean that women's health matters... then that commitment cannot stop at the prison gate." New from @kwanetaharris.bsky.social 👇

No one—especially pregnant people—should be held in these conditions. Yet still, each year, the U.S. puts thousands of pregnant people in danger by shuffling them into the carceral system.

"Pregnant women said they were served food covered in cockroaches and water that tasted like bleach. They described how [ICE] agents shackled their hands and feet, refusing to believe that they were pregnant until a bump appeared"

THESE ARE WAR CRIMES

Excited to live in a country where you can mail someone a handgun but not an abortion pill

Hard to imagine rank-and-file employees okay with this since they are the ones in danger when just anyone can mail a gun. Years ago, a person was charged when their *loaded gun* discharged while in USPS possession. Thankfully, no one was hurt.

"I'm not political" declares registered Republican with a 4-decade resume of implementing the Republican party agenda.

Are you a doctor treating transgender patients in a state with restrictions on gender-affirming care? I am an investigative reporter and I want to talk to you. If you’re not, mind sharing this post?

"All I did was fast track ending Black representation after slow walking upholding the VRA, acts exactly aligned with the Republican party goals for the past 40 years. People are being so unfair!!"

Trevor Project released its annual LGBTQ youth mental health report. The results are shocking. 40% of trans youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year. Trans youth who wanted hormones but couldn’t access them were nearly twice as likely to attempt suicide than those who could.

It's Alito's Constitution and we (unfortunately) just live in it

1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHS The termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths. This is a health crisis and a moral crisis. Follow along for details. 🧵

Absolutely insane and totally inhumane

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

ACLU of Idaho survey about police interactions! Please take if you live in the Treasure valley and/or interact with law enforcement there. www.acluidaho.org/survey-about...

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.

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.
