Annual reminder that the Salvation Army is what the name says. They are militant Christians, call themselves soldiers and wear military uniforms to church. They're also EXTREMELY anti-queer and their handling of donations is VERY shady. 1/2

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door. This is who it was:

We're putting on a show this weekend to help raise money and/or gather food donations for Queer Cupboard, a queer-friendly food pantry that has been hit hard by the delays to SNAP. Is love to see you all there!

This is very nice, and Stephen Colbert is a treasure

BREAKING: Here is the opinion: www.wicourts.gov/sc/opinion/D...

Descartes gave us all the tools we need to survive in an era of misinformation. Simply begin with the understanding that you are real but everything else is fairly likely to be the cruel games of a demon sent to torment you specifically.

@eruzich.bsky.social do you have a take on this? I think it's a *terrible* idea personally.

heads up that the idaho tribune is a hate blog. not a legit news source on any subject & certainly not good to follow on a story as important as this

Seeing a lot of new accounts... if you're in #Idaho, we'd love to have you on the Idaho Folks list which will help boost your posts on The Idaho Feed and other popular Idaho related feeds on bsky. reply or dm me to get added. check out our community feeds at blueskyidaho.com

Periodic Reminder that Progressive Idaho DOES NOT ASK FOR MONEY, and we specifically refuse all donation offers. All operating costs are 100% self funded. We may, *very* rarely, share a link to trusted fundraiser for a specific local cause, but we have no monetary interest in anything.

I'm planning to be here for this. Zeb has been putting in a lot of footwork making sure this is organized well, and we'll all be better because of it. See you there!

If you are still on other social sites, feel free to drop a link to this there. I know there are a bunch of left leaning Idahoans who aren't on bluesky. (but maybe skip twitter...)

Are you in Twin Falls? Do you want to talk to your State legislators about what they’ve been doing? Here’s your chance! Tomorrow at 10 am in the CSI Fine Arts Theater.

Do this! I haven't sent any money to Amazon for years, and I don't regret it one bit! Also, I've finally stopped being head hunted by them, another win.

Idaho! Former Congressmen Richard Stallings & Larry Larocco are going to show our current congressmen how it’s done. Since Fulcher & Simpson couldn’t be bothered to hold townhall mtgs, Stallings & Larocco will do it for them. Pocatello: Fri 2/28, 3-5 @ Liberty Hall 🧵 #IDpol #USpolitics #idaho

#NEW: Was it public or private? The fate of the Kootenai County Republican town hall incident rests on this element of the free-speech debate. From me: www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

UPDATE: Interpretation of the First Amendment rests largely on whether or not the town hall in Coeur d’Alene was considered private or public. An internal email from the school district to the police chief shows the meeting was perceived as public. I’ll have more later.

A legal fund has been setup for Teresa, the victim of the illegal attack at the Republican town hall in Coeur d'Alene #Idaho (This fund is confirmed legit and I have chipped in) #1a #resist #dem #fightback #justice gofund.me/ed9cb8db

UPDATE: The Coeur d’Alene Press spoke with the woman who was dragged out of a town hall for heckling legislators, confirmed which security firm worked the event and spoke with Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris and Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White about the events.

This updated article is *excellent* reporting on the Coeur d'Alene Town hall incident. I encourage you to read it, there's a lot of spin being put on this and this will help you understand the facts. Also, why won't anyone admit to hiring the private security team??? #Idaho #1a #resist

Part 1 of what happened at the Kootenai legislative townhall last night.

You need to watch this about the Republican "town hall" incident in #Idaho yesterday. *Please repost* it to get this message out as far as possible, the GOP is actively spinning this incident. (Also, give her a follow to let her know you want to see her content here) #1a #resist #dem #protest

Come on out to the Herrett Center at CSI today for Southern Idaho Pride's 2nd Annual Love Yourself event! Food, vendors, tattoos, and more, and everything is queer friendly! Trans Affirm is here if you or anyone you know needs clothes or other items to help with their transition.
