I just listened to the first episode of “American Idols.” It’s good. Just as good as straightwhitejc.

5 Threaded Spouts

When public communicators choose “far right” over “white Christian nationalism” an opportunity is missed to educate the public on hate ideology.

In the absence of accurate information, WCNs make up the definitions. 🧵#idpol

Idahoans want an open primary because they’re tired of political committees choosing leaders & unaffiliated voters being locked out.

Ranked choice voting benefits Idahoans. Not any party or special interest.

LD1 collected 10% of the signatures we need to qualify in a few HOURS. It’s popular #idpol

I binged Straight White JC on my long drives last week.

This one is a must listen if you want to understand Brent Regan & how he runs the KCRCC. The Trad Catholic movement in Kootenai Co. has many Holocaust deniers & confederate supporters.

I hear that the Kootenai Co. Sheriff is interrogating people who are taking trash off our streets?

This outlet features anti-Semitic, racist, misogynistic, & LGBTQIA+ exclusionary ideas.

Why on Earth is Norris using resources to bother people who keep our communities hate-free? #idpol

The anti-trans legislative campaigns sweeping across the nation are organized and well-funded. Mother Jones has acquired leaked emails that give a glimpse into how anti-trans organizers and activist influence GOP lawmakers.

Today, Idaho legislators introduced three harmful bills that would essentially boycott businesses with ESG investments (Environment, Social, Governance).

These are companies who prioritize ethical governance. These are the investment future generations want.

Yesterday, the Idaho House voted to criminalize healthcare for transgender youth. Only one Republican voted no. This legislation is now headed to the Senate.

Physicians face up to 10 years.

Chad is my friend! I'm grateful he wrote this LTE. North Idaho's only community college might lose its accreditation due to the anti-education leadership that currently sits on the board.

Board members were hand picked by the local GOP and it's going to cost us big time. #idpol

My local college alma mater is being purposefully destroyed by GOP extremists, so I wrote a letter to editor which was published today.

Hoping that econimic framing will wake up moderates and 'Reagan Republicans'.
