Sitting with this. Discussing it in some circles. Have a look and see if it maps as truth to you and your experiences in community. For some, it really might. It discusses anarchists as the subject, non-anarchists in community might substitute a more broad community definition if the points align.

This stuff pisses me off. Sitting comfy in a liberal land acting superior. People, regardless of location, are worth fighting for and defending.

Boise is a progressive city no matter how many capital letters and stereotypes you throw at us.

Today you should send love to your trans friends. Tomorrow, too. Maybe every day for a while.

Boise folks have an opportunity to: 1) be in community 2) express frustration at state violence and terror Go if you feel called, there may be opportunity to grow in community. Not an endorsement of the group behind it but also not limiting benefit conceptualization to only organizers adding value.

Screaming "wtf" and waiting for a spontaneous uprising is going to discourage you. There won't be a spontaneous uprising. That's just not where the people are at. Organize for the long term. Build community. Build resilience. Have a strategy for whatever corner of this thing you're working on.

This is a place where bad ideas compound into worse ones and suddenly they're selling guns on school property

The first show of the year is scheduled at the Ford Idaho Center, which is now under the College of Western Idaho’s ownership.

good list of protest events although i always recommend you not register or rsvp

We stand with Latin American anarchists against the attack: "In the face of imperialism, neutrality is not possible. Either you are on the side of domination, plunder, and war, or you are on the side of the oppressed." -Coordinación Anarquista LatinoAmerica www.blackrosefed.org/cala-stateme...

It will get a lot less attention than when Fuentes was on the show, but Tucker Carlson just had one of the most popular and bigoted antisemitic influencers on his show. Carlson is leaning further into overt antisemitism (he has always been coded). The antisemitic train has left the station.

Malheur is French for misfortune. A term of loss. I can’t think of a better word now for what happened ten years ago. www.pdxmonthly.com/news-and-cit...

Uh huh

You're not busted -- there is just so much! I found the link on KIVI but here is my forever reminder to all....your public library has paywall-free newspapers ;) (though they sometimes lack links because it's the paper version in digital form)

Let's get the solidarity up up up in 2026. Let's get more in love with our communities. Let's take care of each other more more more. Let's get out of unhealthy toxic patterns. Let's build something better outside of the systems that have failed us. Let's fucking go.

Kinda wild video

👀

Each year, anarchists welcome the end of the old year and the arrival of the new by demonstrating outside jails and prisons to manifest a world in which all are free. May life-giving courage and poetry bloom in the ruins of an order based on oppression. Happy new year. crimethinc.com/2025inreview

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

This just happened... (Carol is so damn cute in this very nerdy little unboxing video.) In the Arms of Mountains: A Memoir of Land, Love & Queer Resistance in Red America. Thank you to the amazing @beaconpress.bsky.social publishers of MLK Jr, James Baldwin & The Pentagon Papers #booksky #idaho

This past year was our 35th anniversary, and we've taken that opportunity to refresh our look with a brand-new logo! We were thrilled to work with anarchist graphic designer Kevin Yuen Kit Lo (LOKI Design), who has given our beloved logo a sleeker, more contemporary update. We hope you like it!

32 years ago today, Brandon Teena was murdered for being trans. Though much about his life was misunderstood and misreported at the time, along with the murder of Matthew Shepard, national outrage led to improved hate crime laws. Please help us make a world which doesn’t hate us.

Here is a painting I did on a piece of cardboard. Abolish ICE.

NEW FROM BASH: ALL OF US VERSUS TECH DYSTOPIA This is a long read that examines alternative, privacy and security focused, technologies. It examines a bit of the how and why while also giving tips and suggestions. bigbash.noblogs.org/post/2025/12...

Boise delivered some moments in 2025. This one, and the follow up in next post, are highlights that make this a place worth loving and fighting for.

Overall, it's been an overwhelmingly beautiful and difficult year in Boise. Closing it out with a corrected version of this sentence, failed while typing in the rain, possibly crying: It's a packed house as rain falls. See ya next year.

We have done *a lot* this year. With trans communities under attack, good information and unrepentantly radical journalism fighting for our liberation is more important than ever. Here's a thread with some highlights of TNN'S coverage in 2025. You can find all of it at transnews.network

The scope of Trump's campaign to drive trans Americans from public life is vast. On the last day of 2025, Evan Urquhart attempts to capture all of what we lost. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Kinda fitting that the last post of the year, referencing a typo from an earlier post, had to be deleted due to a typo Anyway, I think it's right this time. Bye!

All of Us versus Tech Dystopia

Weirdo behavior to drive around and peer into daycares to look for kids.

Visiting daycares between Christmas and New Years and being surprised that there aren't kids there is wild, by the way. Going to an elementary school in the summer: WHERE ARE THE KIDS??? WHAT ARE YOU HIDING??

Yesterday, the man who put a bounty on Boise's mayor showed up at a Boise immigrant's daycare to record himself for Twitter. He found nothing, her papers were in order and the daycare has no record of impropriety, according to post, which got a lot of attention. He plans to target others, he says.

Last year, more than 700,000 people were officially counted as homeless, the highest number ever recorded. Nearly 150,000 of them were children.

Stuff your Kindle now! Everything is 99 cents (except Mirrored, Darkly because the Zon won't let me sell it below 1.99). Twelve books - award winning horror and fantasy! #Booksky

A classic western “socialism for the rich” situation.

NEW from @azrww.bsky.social: We wondered what Turning Point would look like after Charlie Kirk's murder. At this year's AmericaFest, his friends, colleagues & wife are making hay on his grave while bickering over which racists are too racist for polite company in front of neo-Nazi attendees.

An Idaho undocumented man with no criminal record has been detained in Nevada for more than a month. Far from home and his attorneys, his family says they've had to talk him out of signing voluntary removal papers out of desperation. https://ow.ly/GeWp50XQbNF

This is intended to be a heads up that our project is increasingly precarious. We'll share more in January along with an outline of how we plan to address our financial sustainability. In the meanwhile, we appreciate your continued support and hope that you'll keep us in mind when buying books! ❤️‍🔥 3/

Audre Lorde and I think this is a bad tool to count on to dismantle the house or Senate

It's incredible what people carry with them way out to the fringe. It takes work to understand the tech to propagate a node and even more to learn how to format a page in micron, the markdown language of the platform. How many people will see it? Of that, how many will value it? Fascinating.
