Idaho HJR 4 was placed on the ballot by the legislature. It would prohibit Idahoans to use the initiative process to legalize pot. Don’t be fooled, it’s a way for them to restrict ANY citizen initiative going forward. How many lives would be improved with revenue from legal pot? Many.
This is what Idaho is now. This is what being a magnet for white Christian nationalists gets you.

Is it good when the secretary of defense is so fixated on making sure everyone is white and has tv ready abs that he forgets about munitions bsky.app/profile/carl...

Texas is so dumb. I thought they were all about personal freedom….

The Golden State's self appointed “rivals” had the largest increases in job losses. Texas was #1 — up 108,000 Florida was #2 — up 79,000 Meanwhile, fewer Californians are out of work!
Come on BBC Destroy the American president! We support what you are doing!
the City of Boise's increasingly aggressive campaign against the state's repeated attempt to ban pride flags flown by cities is extremely funny

Wolf Hour@wolfhour.bsky.social · 6h ago“When a country with less than five percent of the world's population has nearly half of the world's privately owned guns and makes up nearly a third of the world's mass shootings, it's time to stop saying guns make us safer.” ..(DaShanne Stokes) ..

This would amount to a complete capitulation from the US. Literally no way to even attempt to spin this as a win.
Stomach turning. Do they even realize where the electorate is???
Adam Kinzinger@adamkinzinger.substack.com · 5h agoThe fact that the Democratic senators are agreeing to a continuing resolution until Dec 11th with NO compromises for them is absolute political malpractice and head scratching. Why not even try to ban like…. The arch? Anything!
66-year-old Dale Schultz was killed in the In-N-Out shooting in Idaho. His wife Reinette was also severely injured in the shooting. The gunman used an AK-47. Urge your Members of Congress to cosponsor the bill to #BanAssaultWeapons. 📞 (202) 224-3121 📝 secure.everyaction.com/tQceIFM-V0Ot...
But, I bet he would like to try! 🍆🍑

God, this guy is seizing the moment, isn’t he? We elected a guy with the middle name of Hussein to the WH, so on some level, ideas do still matter. More of this please.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 8h agoEl-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."
I'm sorry if you disagree with me but … #BirthControl is an extremely critical part of care for women. Hormonal birth control (Depo, the ‘pill’, etc.) is used by many women to regulate their menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand reproductive biology should STFU. #HerBodyHerChoice
We proved it in Wisconsin. We proved it in New York City. We proved it in dozens of special elections over the past year. People power over money!
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 11h agoAbdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
The strongest available evidence supports a zoonotic origin for COVID-19. - The virus is genetically diverse in ways typical of natural viruses and atypical of gain-of-function (GoF) viruses. 🧵
It seems like this is probably a more specific case about this organization itself and some accusations of abuse, but people might be surprised to know how many anti-abortion groups are against organ donation.
