Boise! See you tomorrow...11:00am, Idaho State Capitol. Workers Over Billionaires! (Wear your red bandana to show solidarity with American workers!)
I, however, am very keen on your brushy yard. 🤌

Of comfort in learning more about the run-up to #TheCivilWar is that our coalitions have always been messy & shuffling around in the US. The southern Free Soil Democrats joining with the northern abolitionist Whigs to create the Republican Party illustrates the lack of clear-cut lines.

with their government philosophically & had in the wars they’d been fighting leading up to it too, especially the Mexican-American War - which Ulysses Grant fought in & became a very vocal critic of. Amidst this chaos & ongoing war of manifest destiny bullshit, it all makes a lot more sense.
Watching the doc on #PBS about the #CivilWar & reading Battle Cry of Freedom & I think I’m starting to understand the US better. I’ve never put the civil war in context before. I’ve never squared with the fact that our borders were actively moving during this time & troops on both sides disagreed

That robot looks too healthy.
Boise Pride is soon. Fundraising is almost halfway to the goal for the fireworks finale.
This headline made me laugh until I choked. “Trump is not dead”
I see you, #Boise #OfficeDepot. 🤍
#Portland #protestors are absolutely feral. 🫡

That one wants to be one of my phone wallpapers. I thank ye for sharing.
Oh absolutely.
It takes patience to listen to jazz. That’s probably why ppl don’t do it more. I already love this tho. Thank you for sharing.
I used to love Pandora. I’ll check that out.
I’m on a mixture of block lists that amount to “too far left,” & “not far enough left.”

What #music feeds are you following?
Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION Starbucks worker pay: $15,000 Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000 CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker. In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more. The system is rigged.

I think they just might if given the chance. Three separate grand juries refused to indict a woman for resisting ICE this week as well. Jeanine Pirro can suck it. www.msnbc.com/deadline-whi...

My husband teaches me. These guys hang out at our house in the winter and be silly-billies.
He outran them in loafers & very drunk. Inspiring.
Epstein files.
Me too. It’s the joyful resistance we all needed. His wind-up! 😆
And Black Capped Chickadees are a favorite. So chaotic in the best way.

Electeds❤️my calls. To Simpson, Risch, & Crapo this morning: 1. Demand resignation of RFKJr. He’s done 1 stupid, dangerous thing after another. 2. I’m now assuming any politician not demanding the release of the Epstein files is in them. Including Simpson, Risch, Crapo. 5calls.org/issue/rfk-hh...
What a treat!!
A grand jury refused to indict this hero. 🥪 🏃🏽♂️➡️
“Until I see the list I’m going to assume he’s on it.” Saw someone say this on Reddit about Crapo. I’m climb going to start saying this when I call.

I’m also looking for suggestions about sources of information on the #midatlanticslavetrade, #USslavery, #TheCivilWar. What has moved you or informed you?

Ken Burns. Listening to the Great Courses’ “America’s Long Struggle Against Slavery.” On the list: • #Beloved by #ToniMorrison • “How the South Won the Covil War” by #HeatherCoxRichardson • #APeoplesHistoryofTheUnitedStates #HowardZinn • “The Half Has Never Been Told” Edward E Baptist
Recently visited Vicksburg. My first time in The South. Because Tmurp wants us to look away from the horrors of #slavery, I’ve decided to make it my personal mission to learn as much about it as I can. I’m reading Battle Cry of Freedom by James McPherson. Watching the doc on the the #CivilWar by

They likely didn’t. 1/3 of the state didn’t. That’s still a lot of ppl.

Do we think this will get the Republicans to pay a bit more attention to our disfavor? You can’t just redraw your way out of losing this many voters. #iowa #midterms #catelindrey #resistance
Beautiful Bill & I find that insulting. *as usual I was v respectful to the staff & today I asked them to read back what they’re sharing with the lawmakers. Make yours? 👇 #5calls #nationalguard #wastefraudabuse 5calls.org/issue/nation...
Haven’t had a chance to call much lately but I’m back at it! Called Simpson, Risch, Crapo, & Little. 1. No misuse of the Nat’l Guard please. They’re picking up trash rn in DC for $1M/day price tag. 2. Crapo - I saw your comments at your Koch Bros event about how we just don’t understand the Big

Promising news in Iowa. GOP held this seat for 13 years. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...
Yes my yard is so happy. All the windows open. A taste of PNW.
Agreed. We should all pick up trash. But we shouldn’t be paying the NG $1M a day to do it while deploying them away from their families for nothing.
It's World Painted Dog Day! Also known as African wild dogs, these remarkable hunters live in tight-knit packs and rely on each another to succeed. But they face serious threats, like habitat fragmentation. When you visit Zoo Boise, you help safeguard this endangered species!
What a picture!

I didn’t even register that. 😆
Truly. My favorite weather.
Boise!

This is embarrassing.

Tax cutting ourselves into insolvency. Nice.
Hell yeah. I’m definitely going to use this one.

CALLOUT: I'm looking for people to talk to about their experiences with receiving any kind of care at Planned Parenthood, especially those who needed low-cost options. Can be any clinic anywhere, but bonus points if it's Alaska, Hawaii, Kentucky, Washington or Indiana.
What are some others you’ve suggested?
What a beautifully lush yard. Dreamy.
That was my suggestion too! Drop a suggestion to #Idaho DOGE.
Step 1: Create predictable budget crisis. Step 2: Resolve artificial crisis by repealing voter-mandated Medicaid expansion. Step 3: ??? Step 4: Profit? The GOP leaders in Idaho don't care what Idahoans want. Maybe it's time we replace them with people who do. idahocapitalsun.com/2025/08/25/i...
Great point. So glad to be off Meta apps.
Yes, they do. My husband has been a wild and firefighter for the last 18 years and I worry. Thank you for supporting them. Bizarrely, they actually take a lot of abuse online sometimes.
Thank you for sharing this. 🤍
Getting the chance to enjoy our first weekend printing of the #IdahoPress. You guys, 5 big ⭐️.
She was right all along… try and imagine how peaceful and pleasant it would be living in the USA if she was president
Dems should swap out Hakeem Jeffries with Jasmine Crockett. They need that kind of fire.
I do as well. It reminds me of my mother. 🫤 But there are moments where they seem content approaching joyful in their chaotic filth.
This is who runs this account

Rewatching #GreyGardens. You simply must if you haven’t had the pleasure. There is absolutely no describing it. It’s v popular on TikTok now. They throw Grey Gardens parties & dress up.
Interesting. I have way more followers here than I ever did on Twitter, but I mainly do organizing work here & there I made glib observations & drunk tweeted. Here, I get kind of uncomfortable getting followers bc I’m afraid of Palantir & authoritarianism. Have you tried being scared of followers?
a lot of people seem to conceptualize what happened to Twitter as “they stopped censoring the Nazis” but what actually happened is they rebuilt it to create Nazis
They published one of mine as well.
Ordered. Excited. I’ve never subscribed to a print newspaper before. Analogue everything is my preference rn.
Awesome. Thank you. I do get the e version of these. If Cap Sun did a print version, I’d get that too.
Done. Excited to get print versions. Looking to make a lot of analogue changes.
#Boise: what local #newspaper should I subscribe to?
It is darling. 😍
maybe I’ll just stay in #california. #gcn is killin it. also, I can’t seem to get home. so.
Screenshots? I don’t go to there, but I’d browse the insanity if you have it. 😃
In the welcoming arms of #California for a little while.
“Tomi “Toilet” Lahren” 👌 “Make America Pregnant Again” - Be careful, Gav. You just might.
#TSAprecheck line takes an hour. 😃 But at least we get to watch #KristiNoem spout propaganda.
Airport freakouts are starting to make a lot more sense to me.
