JJ and I didn't agree on everything.
But he's been gone for 2 years now and I am barely beginning to realize he was right about everything and I was wrong about so much.
I trusted the wrong people. He knew better.

In 2025, we remained steadfast in our defense of Idahoans' fundamental freedoms.
We took action by:
✔️ filing lawsuits to protect the rights of immigrants
✔️ engaging with more than 200 bills in the statehouse
✔️ empowering communities across the state.
And our work is far from over.

Read @nicolefoy.bsky.social's investigation that prompted the congressional probe.
We found that agents had detained >170 Americans this year. More than 20 citizens said they were held for at least a day without being able to contact a lawyer or their loved ones.

Is there a name for that feeling you get when you see a crappy person getting undeserved awards and praise by people who know very little about them but just bought the hype? It's not jealousy or even righteous anger about an injustice. It's just...uggh?

Boise airport is completely locked down right now. Nobody is allowed in and they're not letting planes dock. Traffic people said it's completely shut down for an emergency. I'm nervous because my kid is already inside the airport right now.

I'm once again alone at a bar downtown finishing some work, but unfortunately, I am not interested in eavesdropping on anyone around me.
So instead, I shall muse.

Listen, I have a cold, mutated lump of coal where my heart is supposed to be, but as a mother, this made me choke up. I cannot imagine the enormousness of this woman's pain, and I cannot imagine that a hospital is forced to respond with "nah, go to SLC." Thank you Kate, for sharing this with us.

When someone you love has been gone from your life for a long time, the memory of them begins to feel like a fever dream and your mind begins to forget details you don't want to forget. I don't like that part. 💔

Just got done visiting my dear friend JJ Saldaña at his ofrenda at JUMP. We didn't put his personal belongings this year for a host of reasons, but he's still so handsome and happy. Please stop by this week and give him your love. We've missed him terribly.

I low key love it when in the middle of an interview about horrible events with a journalist, it becomes obvious they're having a hard time maintaining their neutral/objective face.
I can tell they're trying to tell me with their eyes "I can't say it but I'm not a monster and what happened sucks"

The fourth estate of democracy may be the only one left hanging on to democracy.
I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...
