Brad Little is excited about this? We are the lowest in the nation when it comes to education. Do better Brad. In fact, just vote Stegner or Pickens! #doBetterIdaho #makeIdahoSmarter

Time for Risch to go. “During my eight years as Idaho Attorney General, I saw enough to conclude that Risch is legally and ethically challenged.” ~ Jim Jones former Idaho Attorney General, Idaho Supreme Court Justice (R) jjcommentator.substack.com/p/wheres-the...

Yep. Calling it right now. Same thing happened in Oct 2020.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Rep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"

I read this book the summer of 2024. It was informative, alarming and a good wake up call. Only of more people had read it we might not be in the situation we are in now.

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.

Timothy Snyder@timothysnyder.bsky.social

We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. snyder.substack.com/p/lies-and-l...

Is it just me or every time one of my fellow devs talks about the "cluster", I can not help to add the "F" word after it. In my head of course, not out loud. 😁

For the past 13 years in July I get to spend time at a small technology conference in Helena Montana. I’ve met people there who have become some of my closest friends. I’ve adopted Helena as my home away from home. Learning with friends is the best!

They may “claim” that but that is the furthest from the truth!

ProPublica@propublica.org

Officials in the Biden administration publicly acknowledged the danger presented by an exodus of experienced wildland firefighters. The Trump administration has taken a different approach — claiming to have solved the problem while simultaneously exacerbating it.

propublica.orgThe Forest Service Claims It’s Fully Staffed for a Worsening Fire Season. Data Shows Thousands of Unfilled Jobs.DOGE cuts and voluntary resignations have severely hampered the agency as the nation enters the peak of fire season, with more than 1 million acres burning across 10 Western states.

More natural disasters are hitting the U.S. than ever before. But too often, our crisis warning systems depend on Facebook and Twitter/X, social media platforms that are fading in popularity and have been engineered to hide vital information from people when they need it most. This needs to end:
