Shocking that the only remaining bipartisan issues are quagga mussels and genocide.

@ilanarubel.bsky.social: cozying up to *israel and to your christo-fash colleagues does NOTHING for the mutual safety of Jews and Palestinians or Idahoans.

@idahodems.bsky.social I haven’t gone a single day in months without crying about the starving children getting blown up in Gaza w/our tax dollars.

It was the 1st thing I did today.

I wish there was a political party that shared my values & did everything they could to stop a genocide. #idleg

A little Good Trouble in Garden City Idaho today. Telling Senator Crapo to do his damn job, and to also meet with regular Idahoans instead of just the paying ones!

Heads up if you’re heading up north…

Landslide Closes US-95 Between Council and New Meadows

The Idaho Transportation Department said people should use State Highway 55 as a detour around the closure.

ICYMI, our local school district is just straight up saying that different skin tones on a poster are a political statement.

www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/e...

Inama said she disagreed with the assessment that she is breaking policy or the law. She said that the messages on her signs are neutral and that different skin tones and
a rainbow-like color palette are not, as stated in House Bill 41, inherently "political, religious, or ideological views."
Inama told the Statesman that she was particularly confused because administrators had hung signs across the school with a similar message that read, "Welcome others and embrace diversity."
When discussing the "Everyone is welcome here" sign, the district told the Statesman that it was not the message that was at issue, but rather the hands of different skin tones on the poster.

This year, remember the reason for the season #idesofmarch

An e card with a statue of a Roman. The text reads “People are losing the spirit of the Ides of March. It’s not about just stabbing. It’s about coming together to stab in groups.”

NEW: An ex-arms dealer who lives in Idaho was arrested last month in Canyon County after prosecutors alleged he raped & choked a woman.

Jason Wong, who owned Nampa-based company Hurricane Butterfly, sold weapons to law enforcement throughout the nation — including agencies in Washington & Oregon.

Idaho man who sold weapons to law enforcement charged with rape, attempted strangulation

“Jason is innocent of these charges,” his attorney said in a statement.

A friend needs a home for a bonded pair of cats, in Twin Falls, ID.
This person is having to move into an RV full-time, & no longer has space for them. 💔
This is heartbreaking, but I'm so glad they reached out for help.

Massive crowd, at least 2,000+ people at the #50501 #Idaho rally in Boise. People came out to protest DOGE, and demand checks and balances on illegal executive branch power grab that undermines our Constitution and freedoms.

Massive crowd protesting outside the Idaho Capitol building on March 15, 2025.

View from the top of the Idaho Statehouse steps of a massive crowd that extends across the street and through the park on the other side. People are packed like sardines, shoulder to shoulder with flags and protest signs.

Picture from inside the Idaho Statehouse in Boise, looking out at a section of the crowd on Sat. March 15th, 2025, that extends beyond the sides of the steps and plaza.

View from inside the Idaho Capitol building, out the 4th floor window, of the thousands of people gathered on Sat. March 15th, 2025 to protest the dismantling of our government.

I bug bombed my garage a few days ago. At the end of the day, I opened the garage door for 20-30 minutes, then took the trash out and closed it. The next day, I opened it in the afternoon to bring the cans back in and my neighbor’s cat came darting out. Poor thing.
