Folks, what are we even doing here in Idaho? Our schools still can't afford to patch their leaky roofs. We're cutting programs for disabled folks. Cutting mental health programs. Even the Idaho Sheriffs' Association is against some of these cuts out of concerns they impact public safety. 🧵

Idaho Democrats are competing everywhere in 2026. 117 candidates. All 3 federal races. All 7 statewide offices. Every one of Idaho’s 35 legislative districts. After years of one-party control and cuts to health care, public safety, and schools, Idahoans are demanding accountability.

Just a quick message from the airport on my way overseas for work. My other work. The one that actually pays my mortgage. Same as my post last night, but with airport music in the background.

One Hundred. That's how many Democrats filed to run for the Idaho Legislature this year. There are a few running against each other in primary races, but we will still end up with 93 Dems in the general. 10 more than in 2024. *48* more than in 2022. That's a big surge in just 4 years. I'm excited.

We're fine, we're all fine here, now. How are you?

Y'all... you want to meet a local legend? We got none other than Former State Senator Cherie Buckner-Webb coming to our Nampa Democrats social dinner Thursday night! #Nampa www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

Local control is the best kind of government! Unless the locals don't absolutely agree with us. Then, big government is best!

Fam. Team. Chat. Friends. Double you tee actual eff? Rep. Brent Crane (my opponent) did not see anything offensive by the brown-face clown show on Monday. In fact, he says we should thank him for granting this guy his 1st Amendment rights. www.idahostatesman.com/news/politic...

This piece is spot on. Why were they laughing and grinning? Why did they allow him to start speaking at all once they saw he was in an absurdly racist costume? Why did they hold his hand and coach him on how to get away with his stunt? It's because members like Wheeler and Crane were on his side.

This is fucking wild. Drawing special attention to how entertained Rep. Wheeler is throughout, giggling and grinning sometimes, barely restrained at others. CW: racism throughout and mention of rape towards the end when Pettinger is pretending to take any of this seriously for just a moment.

I normally don't talk about my political opponent, Rep. Brent Crane. I hate mud slinging, and I'd rather talk about how I want to serve #Nampa. However, Mr. Crane sits on the House Business Committee. He was photographed grinning at the man wearing brown face makeup as described here by the ACLU.🧵

We’ve had standing room only Kellogg to Coeur d’Alene!! Be a part of our movement, of everyday Idahoans committed to doing politics differently. A movement that doesn’t care about party or labels, just policy solutions, transparency & accountability! #event #townhall #congress #northidaho #community

Just so it's somewhere on the internet. Last session I watched Rep. Brent Crane congratulate racist David Pettinger on his "antics" There's never enough reporting on just how racist this state is and will continue to be without REPETITIVE HATE EDUCATION. #idpol

Have this on your calendar?

It's that time of year again...

Kootenai County, Good brews & political views is happening TODAY! MORE DETAILS AT THE LINK IN MY BIO. Everyone is welcome. No question off limits. This is the perfect event to bring a friend or neighbor that doesn’t “do” politics, it’s all about community. #events #fyp #union #community #politics

Damn... the Idaho Capitol Building really *is* old. Just look at this historical artifact, preserved just like it was in the olden days. 😆

This year, all 105 Idaho legislative seats and some U.S. congressional seats will be up for election. Statewide offices, such as the governor, attorney general, and superintendent of public instruction, are also up for election. #idleg #idpol

At the Idaho Statehouse today, helping a few folks meet with their legislators. I firmly believe it's part of the job of legislators to listen to their constituents, and I think it's important for voters to get more involved. I'm very glad I get to help a few people do both today.

I still don’t know how I pulled this off. youtu.be/29cFY1jPigo?...

We’ve had a growing number of folks asking for ideas on how to help locally to combat the rising fascism, violence, and hate we see. So, with the help of a few great resources and lots of input (thank you, Rage Crafters!), you can now access our guide at the link provided. #nampa #idaho

Happy to see the lede lay out the bigger problem here. These folks were voluntarily complying. Doing exactly what they're supposed to do. This sends a clear message that compliance is pointless. People are going to go underground rather than continue working with the system.

Still dwelling on the fact that my state senator vomited up a white nationalist conspiracy theory in the Capitol and it barely registered. I know we don't expect better from them, but this was one step away from carrying a tiki torch and a swastika flag. Somebody should have said *something*.

Hello Lefties, I know you're mad at the Democratic Party. We are *all* mad at the Democratic Party. Before you go lumping us candidates all together just because we have the D by our names, look us up first. See what we're about. You might be surprised. Same advice I give everyone else.

In total, the study estimates that there are 28,725 foreign-born workers in Idaho, and removing that entire population would result in a 4.6% drop in gross state product, resulting in a capital loss of $5.1 billion. #Farming #Idaho #Agricultur

It's getting ridiculous. Not you, @idahocapitalsun.com, you're a gem. But the amount of harm the Idaho legislature is willing to do to us, plus the fact that these budget cuts will end up actually costing us money, is just astounding. It would be comical if it weren't so serious. #IDleg

Serious question: has ANY sitting Idaho Republican politician denounced the great replacement theory garbage that Sen. Lenney spewed on the record recently? That was straight up white supremacy propaganda, and we need to be asking his colleagues if they are okay with it.

Our meet and greet is two weeks away if you've been thinking about getting involved, or want to start something like this yourself, this is a great place to start.

If only there were *some* way to balance the budget other than cutting services that we publicly acknowledge save lives. Budget cut fallout: After Idaho cut a critical Medicaid mental health service, two patients died idahocapitalsun.com/2026/02/10/b...

There is still time to sign up to meet with your legislators and tell them what's what. If you think this is a good idea, please share it even if you don't sign up. Thanks!

Everyone should be clear eyed about the goal of the Idaho GOP leadership. They want to get rid of as much government as possible. Not because it's too expensive, but because they fundamentally believe that government is inherently harmful. #IDleg #IDpol www.boisestatepublicradio.org/politics-gov...

Idaho! Have you ever wanted to just grab your legislators and shake them until they finally listened to you? Don't do that. You could be charged with assault. How about calmly sitting across a desk from them while you expressed your viewpoint? Then you're in luck! 🧵 cliff-for-idaho.org/lobby/

Intending that this won't affect care or result in you being reported is fine. That won't stop people from assuming that this is exactly what is happening. Someone is going to show up to the ER, dying, and go home rather than self report their status. 🧵 idahocapitalsun.com/briefs/idaho...

Y'all, when even Dorothy Moon and Heather Scott think you're going too far, you've done gone too far. And hey! Look who voted for this nonsense... my opponent! Cool cool. Idaho House to consider calling for convention to amend U.S. Constitution idahocapitalsun.com/2026/02/03/i...

Parents. Seniors. People with disabilities. Caregivers. Providers. Your voice matters. Join us Feb. 4 at the Capitol to speak out on proposed Medicaid cuts and make your story part of the record.

BOISE: There's an ICE OUT event TODAY at the Idaho Capitol Building at 2PM. Link to source, Poder Idaho, in next post. Flyer here:

Idaho, having a balanced budget as a requirement in the state constitution: "The US Constitution should totally do this too!" Also Idaho: "Tax breaks and private school vouchers for rich people shouldn't count towards balancing the budget."

Deeply bad and dumb bill. Hateful, of course, which is the main point, but also stupid. They want to keep cities from banning you from evicting someone because you found out they slept with a girl in college. It's that stupid. idahocapitalsun.com/2026/01/28/n...

We've got some amazing meals for this week! Please stop by Saturday, meals start at 5:30

Free hot meals Every Saturday 5:30 pm Lloyd Square downtown Nampa

As a candidate for the Idaho Legislature, I don't normally bring up immigration, because the state really has limited authority over it. However, since Idaho does have an agreement to cooperate with ICE, I think it's appropriate to ask what your legislators and candidates think about that. 1/4🧵

Got a fundraising email from "Bernard Sanders" today, and I straight up had no idea who that was for a minute 😆

Boise, Idaho. Anti-ICE demonstration. There's not enough room for the crowd. We're spilling out into neighboring blocks. We are angry AF.

Idaho has an agreement to cooperate with ICE. That's kinda messed up if you ask me. You can sign this petition to demand they end the arrangement until ICE are required to follow the same rules as the cops. Accountable for harm done, follow the law, show their faces, etc. c.org/RCFkL8wBky

Point In Time Count Info If you know someone who meets the qualifications, see if they need a ride. transportation is a huge obstacle in getting accurate numbers.

I'm gonna say it again. If you can bear it, watch the videos. Closely. You can see his hands are on the ground when they murder him. There were at least 3 men grabbing him and several others trying to join in. *IF* he had a gun in his waistband, there is 0% chance he could have drawn it.

WARNING: This is a video of the latest murder by the MAGA militia. It is difficult to watch, but if you can bear it, I think it's important to witness. It brought tears to my eyes. It is quite clear that there is no defending this. They will try, but nobody could watch this and think it was just.

What happens when a literature tabling gets in the press because a bunch of people online start accusing them of plotting... something? It turns into an improvised rally in support of our community. Around 150 people showed up in the cold, dark Caldwell night to show their love for their neighbors.

Hey #Nampa! Come hang out with the Democrats tonight at Fiesta Guadalajara. Meet others who are also kept up at night, worrying about democracy. I hear the folks from @idaho50501.bsky.social might show up to talk about their work. Great chance to learn about local activism! mobilize.us/s/KNq9gT

Hey Treasure Valley folks! This event was supposed to be just for know-your-rights information and passing out whistles, but somehow it's got a bunch of people upset. If you could come out to Caldwell Friday evening and show your support, that would be appreciated! 🧵
