I’m not sure that I’m willing to risk whether or not I’m the one that can fight back without getting shot especially in the demographic I live in.

The problem with that for me, Joyce, is that I’m a brown woman. They will shoot me without hesitation. I live in Idaho, I don’t wander too far without my white husband with me. Facts of life.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Going to say this again at the risk of being yelled at...it's not the media's job to promote a protest. That is the job of political organizers. There will be PLENTY of media coverage of the protests themselves.

And I've seen many stories about people hurt by ICE, the shutdown, and much more.

The media is largely ignoring the trauma of millions. Here's why.

Maybe he’s remembering the cash he received from Egypt just before the election.

Ugh. I have pants and a bra on because I have to go into town. Getting my nails did and errands.
So tired today. So much going on.

I was wondering where you were yesterday. Was plotting a surprise check in. 😂

Amazing how many people with a “holier than thou” attitude are on this app at this hour.
Give it a rest. Go outside or something. Jfc.

Where did the money go? We had a $2b surplus a couple of years ago. Idahoans deserve to know.

Find out where the money went. Keep hosting town halls. Keep people talking especially in our more rural areas.

Also, why are we keeping the children of ICE victims in Idaho’s foster system?
