Wow, very cool! Enjoy!!

Idaho lawmakers discuss unexcused absences for students participating in political protests House Bill 794 would have denied students from getting an excused absence if it was for a political protest. The bill died in committee.

Teach kids to think on their own, then try to punish them for doing so. Myself, I'm proud of our local high schoolers who walked out & spoke up.

Bill targeting student protests dies in committee with a 7-7 vote.

I’ve been highly critical of the Democratic opposition. This is the correct approach.

Abraham Lincoln would be disgusted by today’s GOP standard bearers • Idaho Capital Sun Imagine the shock, dismay and disgust Abraham Lincoln might feel about the state and national leadership of his beloved Republican Party, if he were to return to life today. He would find a leadership...

COMMENTARY | Unfortunately, Idaho’s top GOP officials have bought into the anti-civil rights and anti-immigrant playbook of segregationists, writes guest columnist Jim Jones. #idleg #idpol

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Illustration from Blair Braverman's book "The Day Leap Soared". A dark grey Alaskan husky with brown ears is leaping over water with closed eyes and a serene smile. Her wavy reflection is mirrored below. Above her is a big full moon, and a sky at twilight full of colorful stars. She's framed by big trees the color of the sky. You can see where she leaped off of the bank on the left side because she's left pawprints on the snow in her wake.

Well, a whole lot of them are in Eagle too. But yes, living in Meridian I am well acquainted with the transplants.

The local legislative elections could be, more or less, the only game in town. With yard signs and direct mailers to match.

To reiterate what I said earlier: I despise these people so much.

State lawmakers are advancing an alarming wave of bills that encroach on the authority of local governments, law enforcement, and businesses. Here are some of the bills we are concerned about in the Idaho legislature. See all bills we're tracking here: www.acluidaho.org/legislation/...

Just the best news!

Wow, that was mean. Excellent persistence though.

In my experience? Nothing really.

What do the Platner-defenders who say there’s nothing to this one-Nazi-after-another flirtation with bigotry for the sake of Gen X dude yuks say to the explicitly antisemitic Platner stans who keep trolling folks who say “hey, guys, maybe you *don’t* need to fluff Nazis?”

Technically, yes. But I think at least two of them are fairly new (well, in the last year) because they replaced the "DEI" hires that Nazi Pete fired. I would also surmise that none of them have the guts to suggest asking Ukraine for advice.

I despise these people.

"...so we can have ICE arrest them, detain them until they're near death, and then deport them somewhere they'll be executed."

That's good. Less chance of having to plan out a homestead along the highway on the way back to Anchorage. Not that I would know anything about that.

Is is supposed to be like '22 when it snowed like a foot during the ceremonial? Or like '20 when it snowed like a foot during the official?

The Most-Licked Art in America: Inside Chicago’s Legendary Ice-Carving Factory At Nadeau’s Ice Sculptures, the oldest carving factory in America, a team of former archaeologists and butchers creates ephemeral art designed to be licked, touched, and eventually, lost.

Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

Official statements placing U.S. forces in the area – along w/ analysis of social posts, videos, sat. images – suggest U.S. forces bombed a school in Minab, Iran during strikes targeting an IRGC base. Over 150 were killed, Iranian officials say. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/w...

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Sending love and strength to her and to you. ❤️💔❤️

This is amazing; am watching on C-SPAN3. If she had a staff member who liked her, that person would've walked up to her 15 minutes ago to whisper in her ear to get out of there.

But no one is protecting her. Any one of these attendees can break the news to her on live tv.

That's beautiful. ❤️

This is how you make antisemitism happen, even if you don't intend to.

Israel did not (and cannot) make the United States do anything it didn't already want to do. That is a fact.

If human rights are limited to certain groups, they are not really human rights, are they?
