Democracy for Idaho. And snark. Lots of snark. Re-posts do not denote endorsement or imply that the re-poster has compromising photos of us drinking lite beer...

I never dreamed that America would be destroyed because Christians decided that pedophilia was not that big of a deal.

Formally cementing shithole (to borrow a Trump fav phrase) #Idaho as anti-human rights 💔🤬

Fact: the “modern” Idaho GOP will still consider Gov. Little a RINO in spite of his feckless & unconscionable capitulation to the far right minority extremist mob mentality.

Public forum today, 4 p.m. at the Statehouse.

Join Idaho House & Senate Democrats and hear from Idahoans who would feel these cuts first.

Protect coverage and care. Demand better solutions.

It will be journalists and the many millions who value quality journalism who will save the industry. Billionaires will not, and I hope that debate can finally be put to bed now.

I know people who have called Idaho reps #MikeSimpson and #RussFulcher to ask what their position is on #ICE and #BorderPatrol. Callers were told THEY HAVE NO POSITION.

They are too cowardly to even state a position, much less control the abuses.

#Idaho deserves better.

The disgraceful choice of keynote speaker Matt Gaetz by our local Kootenai County GOP for their annual Lincoln Day Dinner brings shame upon our city. The hypocracy of the self proclaimed "party of morality" never ceases to amaze. We can not be silent and accept this as normal. Please join us!

Facts are facts. And lies are the GOP.
Heads are going to explode 💥

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

Thanks to the efforts of @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social and other advocates, the boy in the blue bunny hat—five-year-old Liam Ramos—is home from ICE detention.

But hundreds of kids remain in facilities that are no place for children.

Release them all.

Interesting trend unfolding in this cycle's special elections (data courtesy of @the-downballot.com). In 2018, Dems way overperformed on average in heavily GOP districts; slightly in more competitive ones; and not at all in heavily Dem districts.

In 2026, they're gangbusters in all three.

Idaho, we have 85 days to collect enough signatures to put the Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act on the ballot. This initiative has every chance to succeed on November’s ballot, but only if we qualify. Here’s a link to events statewide where we can join our neighbors and make this happen!

I never got a chance to post about this when it came out, so ICYMI too...a poll from Boise State University shows at least 59% of Idahoans support for the ballot initiative to restore abortion rights. Even higher when people are told the name of the initiative. idahocapitalsun.com/2026/01/27/p...

What is inside Pam Bondi that she saw the horrific images of old perverts abusing children and felt she had to protect the perverts? We are not the same.

"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."
