This weekend is Canyon County Pride's 3rd year. It's a rural Pride event that started AFTER the anti-trans cultural moment was manufactured. It's a small flame out in the rain, but it's a light. You should go if you can. You should support rural Idaho queerness.

Well, as usual, my latest video post to FB was met with inexplicable rage, but this is the first time Insta has treated me like that. It's whatever, I was just a little surprised.

Racism? In Idaho?!? 😲 Yeah, I know. But this was unusually bad. We just cannot allow someone who thinks brownface is funny to represent a 20% Latino district. Please share this around, and do the other thing if you can. Link below.

These have shown up around Nampa, and you need to know how very bullshit this is. There is no such thing as abortion reversal. What they will do is, after you take the first dose of the 2 dose abortion pill series, give you a massive dose of another hormone.🧵

When the people speak, it's not our job to tell them they're wrong. Our job is to listen. We can advocate against it all we want, but once that ballot initiative passes, you've got to respect it. These guys don't respect it, and they don't respect us. Let's vote them out.

thank you for all the support! please check out our bio for more info #community #2ckc #nampaidaho

Well, I got a super late start canvassing today, didn't get half as much done as I'd hoped. But the conversations I did have just reaffirmed that we have to keep doing this work. I don't knock on the doors of hard-core Dems, or MAGA. Just everyone in between. And they do not feel heard. 🧵

really happy to share Kaylee's new website with all of you, please take a look and send it to someone you know in Idaho who doesn't feel like they have a voice in congress right now. #idpol www.kayleeforcongress.com

Your regular reminder that Facebook is awful.

Tonight! Invite pro-democracy students. Get details & RSVP here. #idpol www.mobilize.us/babevote/eve...

Want Idaho to get our housing costs under control? The way to move the needle is money>outreach>name ID>win election>positive change. I'd like to see that changed, but for now, see the link in the🧵

GUYS GUYS GUYS We are doing a thing, it's pretty cool, I'm kinda excited, you should come and bring all your kids and dogs and possibly bunnies. #Caldwell #CanyonCounty

If anybody has donated to my campaign under the belief that I was a Republican, please let me know and I will issue a refund if you'd like. What's that about, you ask? 🧵

I don't know, it just feels like if a bunch of guys got together to stop an election and beat the hell out of cops and vandalized federal property and threatened to murder the VP, maybe don't pardon them and then give them millions of $ right before another election. Seems... bad.

Guys... I just got my first max donation ($1k) in 2 years. My opponent gets almost nothing but max donations, but for me, this is *wild*. I'm literally just some guy. I'm so grateful for the support and investment. This is great not just for the campaign, but for our... non-traditional outreach.

Hello Bluesky! Time to reintroduce myself. Once again. My name is Cliff Hohman. I own a little 120-year-old house in Nampa, drive a car that's old enough to drink, and work a job that has nothing to do with my degree. I'm also running for the Idaho House of Representatives, District 13 seat A.🧵

Folks, I'm not a glass-half-full kind of guy. Not exactly half empty, either. More like "where did this glass come from and what is this liquid and what is its purpose?" BUT...

Apparently, Mark Fitzpatrick is a flat-earther on top of all the bigotry, and I was so surprised, I nearly reacted.

It's a beautiful day for the Nampa Parade America. The 2C Dems are bursting with hometown pride!

I had a first-time donor write to me after making their donation yesterday. They described a young man who died as a result of our legislature's shenanigans. They said,🧵

Hey Nampa folks! Swing by the Idaho Hispanic Community Center this Thursday May 14 at 6 pm. I'll be there along with other local candidates to answer questions and listen to your concerns. Meet other concerned citizens and learn how to use your power to shape our politics.

‼️ Idahoans have until 5 p.m. local time today to register to vote online or request an absentee ballot. If you miss today's deadline, you can still register to vote in person for early voting or on election day (May 19). Visit voteidaho.gov for more information.

Team, the Virginia ruling today, combined with the Callais decision... it's bad. They are openly, gleefully angling for single-party rule, and they are making progress towards that goal. The future they want is one we see in nations like Russia. If you know what happens over there... it's grim. 🧵

Was putting campaign signs up and realized it was a metaphor.

Hey friends, guess who is back? (The link is to the Wikipedia entry for Add the Words)

The Democratic winner will face the winner of the Republican primary contest as well as Constitution Party candidate Brendan Gomez and independent Sarah Zabel in the November general election. #idpol

🚨Hey Idaho! The deadline to request an absentee ballot ahead of the 2026 primary election is 5 p.m. Friday.🚨#idleg #idpol

Bro is fighting me... fairly politely... on another platform and saying that pride flags are partisan symbology and that's why the flag ban is good. I've been trying to explain it to him, and then he drops this.

BTW, I understand the strategic choice to vote in the Republican primaries in Idaho as a form of harm reduction. But, if you're not doing that, I encourage you to vote in the Dem's primary, even if the ballot is slim. It helps develop voting as a habit, and it lets us know how much support we have.

Someone is trying to convince me that the Idaho pride flag ban is justified because it's a partisan symbol of the Democrats and... wow. First of all, ever hear of the Log Cabin Republicans? How about Senator Larry Craig?

By the way, if you own a Gadsen flag (don't tread on me) and you support the Republicans in the Idaho Legislature... you might want to rethink that. Telling towns what flags they can fly and what HR policies they can have isn't libertarian. It's authoritarian.

I love publicly available campaign finance data. It can tell you a lot about the candidates. This primary cycle, I have gotten (before any serious effort) an average donation of $31 from 28 people. No corporate money. My opponent has received donations from only 4 individuals, averaging $641 each.

Came across this mural today in Annapolis. Deeply... ironic? Upsetting? In the face of today's SCOTUS decision that determined that actually it was white people who needed protection against racism.

So, anyway, the point is, start in your community. Do something. Identify a need, and go for it. #CommunityIsResistance

Oh emm gee the dripping, venomous hate I get on FB when I post the exact same videos as I do on other platforms is just shocking. The "experts" say I absolutely must post on FB, in fact it's the only place they tell candidates they have to post to. But I sure don't see the upside.

Thanks for all your work, @2ckc.bsky.social !

If you have no complaints about living in Idaho, then ignore me. But, if you would like to see some improvements... well, the GOP won't listen to you. I will. And I'm on the ballot in November. That's the only way you're going to see our government change.

The folks over at @everystateblue.bsky.social did a blue-dot-red-state campaign simulator and guys now I am looking for spy cameras in my house. campaignadventure.netlify.app

Everyone *should* be welcome here in Idaho. Nobody should be driven out just for being who they are. That's part of why I'm running for the state legislature, to fight against the growing culture of hate. We can't keep letting them hurt people.

Hey #TreasureValley residents! Whatcha doing on Saturday? Want to meet your local Democratic candidates for the legislature and other races? I'll be there. But you should come say hi anyway! Ask us the tough questions and tell us what your concerns are. We'd love to meet you! mobilize.us/s/7nuIim

I will keep banging this drum forever. Maybe you can't do much to stop war, or corruption in Washington, or your favorite sportsball team acting like fools. But you can do a *lot* right here at home. Volunteer for and donate to your local candidates and non-profits. Your impact can be huge.

Got a rando with no profile pic on another site who is arguing with me that there's no issue with OBGYNs or education funding in Idaho. Cannot tell if troll or just troll-shaped. Almost funny though. I get it, some people will disagree with me no matter what I say just because I'm running as a Dem.

If you say you have to treat LGBTQ folks differently because of your faith, but you never once stop to wonder if the customer you're talking to at work might be a serial rapist, and what your faith would say about that, then it's not really about your faith, is it? 🧵

I'm starting to attract some hate from... bots? People who are naturally bot-like? Over on Threads. I must be finally hitting the big time 😆

We have a mission to help @idaholark.bsky.social feel better. So let’s post all the pretty pictures for her until she can go outside again. #feelbetteridaholark This is a photo of farmland off dry creek at sunrise.

Only around half the population here is registered to vote. Getting disengaged folks to participate can be even tougher than persuading people to cross party lines, but there's a huge opportunity here for those willing to do the hard work.

I know several people who are either leaving Idaho or are planning to leave Idaho because the culture of hate here makes them and their families feel unsafe. Not just uncomfortable. Unsafe. That makes me so angry. That's exactly what the GOP wants. But it's also probably the right choice for them.
