So many people in Spokane lost their homes yesterday and are still fighting for them today. It’s a very emotional Sunday in the panhandle with no rain in the forecast. Fire season is the worst. It destroys lives. This is a voting issue. Please vote appropriately. (Pssst that means no GOP).

100 days until Election Day. 14 weeks. Please go volunteer two hours a week to a campaign. Thanks! #idpol
At a conference and my new act of feminism is accusing men of being swifties when they show any movement to a Taylor swift song.
Been saying this for years. The Christian extremists I study see no good use for a public or school library. Yet they want to “save Western civilization.” Makes you wonder what they are trying to preserve.
Why ban books when you can just ban the whole library www.wusf.org/politics-iss...
We just knocked 16K+ doors for the Reproductive Freedom & Privacy Act initiative signature drive in N. Idaho. Can confirm. #idpol
A majority of Americans think abortion should be legal in all or most cases, but there is a gap between men and women on the issue. That divide is perhaps clearest among Generation Z. https://to.pbs.org/4ekWU6L
Homeland Security has repeatedly tried to justify shootings by claiming that drivers threatened the lives of immigration agents by “weaponizing” their vehicles. But the department’s response to the killing of Sebastián Durán Guerrero was different.
What ICE didn't say about its latest killing
The agency is no longer even claiming its officers feared for their lives.

Medically impossible. This is the level of stupidity we are dealing with. A layperson knows this intuitively, MDs know this factually, yet these so called experts are now pressing this misinformation in court, holding up a child killer (through intent or gross negligence) as their hero.
Idaho mom charged with murder says vaccines killed her twins. Doctors say it’s not possible
Children’s Health Defense, the anti-vaccine group once led by RFK Jr, still stands by Andrea Shaw after her indictment

I can’t even enumerate how times I’ve heard, “explosive diarrhea” in the last 24 hours. Public health needs to be a fully funded sector in society. I want off the idiocracy timeline. #idpol
When Idaho enacted laws to punish doctors for providing abortion care, Bonner General Hospital closed its labor and delivery unit and its OB-GYNs moved out of state. This closure left a hole in reproductive health services in Sandpoint and surrounding rural communities.
Crisis pregnancy centers are extensions of violent white Christian nationalism.
As services were set to begin, Newport Hospital and Health Services doctor assigned to the shift was presented with a surprise: the 7B Health Clinic wanted him to sign a statement professing "sexual purity," not being in a gay marriage and a relationship with “Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior."
Wildfire smoke so bad I woke up to make sure my home wasn’t on fire. 😢 #idpol
The econ prof at the Christian school says Jesus didn’t use force. Jesus weaved a whip for the money changers & animal merchants. He flipped tables. He demanded his disciples exchange their belongings for swords to self defend. NNU doesn’t care if their profs read the Bible. Or lie about it #idpol
Discussions around these teachings ignore the central characteristics of socialism; that is, the use of force. | Opinion

I must live long enough for historians to tell me everything that *ACTUALLY* happened to Mitch & Lindsey in 2026.
This is sad because I know an entire group of old men who probably have the knowledge to repair this machine. Dr. Bird, the iron lung inventor, lived in my community & regularly invited his fellow tinkerers out to tinker. My grandpa was one of them. He fixed everything at our hospital for 35+ years
This woman contracted polio as a child about two years before a vaccine became available and spent much of her life in and out of an iron lung to survive. I truly can't fathom anti-vaxxers who seem happy to resurrect these diseases. people.com/the-last-us-...
Perennial political actors, like Dorothy Moon & Scott Herndon, are counting on voters to not read the RFPA so they can continue lying about it. They don’t want voters to read it. So, let’s make sure everyone & their mother reads this simple 3 page initiative this summer. #idpol

I’d do almost anything for an early copy. I simply can’t wait until September. 😂

It’s actually really hard. HOWEVER, this is the 9th iteration of a marijuana initiative since 2010 & I’m starting to think it’s been nothing but a money laundering scheme. They should understand the initiative process by now. #idpol
Look, if you want to legalize cannabis, like anything else, you best have your shit together. This just makes the whole thing look that much worse. Get organized. Be professional. Jfc it’s not that hard. idahocapitalsun.com/2026/06/29/i...

Knew I could count on Dr. Bradley Onishi to provide FULL CONTEXT reporting on the SSPX schism. Coeur d’Alene IS a stronghold for this flavor of WCN. We need a full episode. Just on CDA. 😂 Want to make sure that it’s clear to my community that Dave Reilly just got excommunicated by the Pope. #idpol
The 250th Debacle represents the three defining char of Trump’s presidency: 1. Incompetence 2. Corruption 3. Christian nationalism Trump Hijacks America's 250th Celebration + SSPX Schism youtu.be/j20rZV0wpf0
Boo!!! SCOTUS loosens political spending restrictions on campaign coordination. Tell a Republican voter today that the GOP fought to expand money in politics and won today. #idpol
