Seattle #booksky let’s talk about how and why #queer people stay in the states they love. What does safety and community look like for us in states growing increasingly hostile?

Why govern or serve the people when you can raid the treasury daily and make millions, even billions off of so very very many aspects of serving as president?

In Idaho our safety is all about each other & knowing our neighbors. Government is protecting fewer & fewer people from harm, violence, unjust loss of jobs, housing, healthcare & essential services. So we reach out to each other & work to make them see the people of Idaho dissent from this cruelty

Idaho Peeps, it doesn’t look good. No one’s going to save us but ourselves. I think it’s time to act accordingly. Connect, pool resources, reach out, create safe spaces, care for each other. Think beyond our circles. Network. Develop code/signals. Plant gardens. Stay low key. Be good to each other.

The Republican brand is at an all time low today, especially in Idaho—a bunch of racist, queerbashers intent on demolishing public schools and forcing people with disabilities into institutions. Who would run in this party?

Let’s be clear, nuclear fuel rods are MORE deadly AFTER use in a reactor. Yet now Dept of Energy gets test & run new power reactors in Idaho w/out public scrutiny or review of safety & potential harm to water, air, soil & wildlife? Where EXACTLY will they store the new waste for thousands of years?

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

Hey, elected leaders, unless you are actively trying to stop the daily violence and unconstitutional entries, searches, detentions, by ICE on our streets, then you are ENDORSING the terror Americans are feeling at the hands of these untrained, unrestrained, masked, mob of government employees.

It’s a good day. I exported my data from Amazon’s Goodreads (which has eliminated the words transgender and bisexual from it’s categories and replaced LGBT with gay and lesbian, seriously) and I’ve imported the file to Library Thing ❤️ which I LOVE. They are bad assed. #booksky

Did you get a pretty email from SocSecurity? It tells a tiny part of the story. The tax break actually comes out of social security funds (it's paid for by future retirees.) This "tax break" puts #socialsecurity itself at risk. Read to the end of this article. Anyone under 65 doesn't get the break.

Hey, Idaho, one can't really fuck up our way of life more than by letting that bill sell off our public lands. Highest bidder. Tell your conservative friends. This hurts us ALL.

#IDAHO Right now Congress is poised to pass that ugly #bigbeautifulbill with language MANDATING the SALE of YOUR national #forest & BLM public lands to the highest bidder. Mansions and fences instead of #wildlife, solitude, #hunting & #fishing. Affordable housing this is NOT.

A map of Idaho shiwing forest services land in green and BLM land in yellow. These lands are to be put on sale to the highest bidder. Most of the state is colored in and would be sold to whomever would pay the most.

Challis #idaho reminds you that big ugly bill sells off YOUR public land. No Democracy; no freedom. The constitution matters. No one is free without checks & balances from independent courts & an independent congress. Americans, let's LOVE our neighbors & coworkers not terrorize or deport them.

People stand roadside with signs including ones saying "No democracy, No freedom" "No royal decrees" "Trump weakens America" "Only you can prevent fascism" "Public lands are sacred and not for sale"
