The final episode of Hush is out today, episode 8: "The Allure of an Answer."

Every podcast I finish, I think it's the hardest thing I've done as a journalist. This time that might be the most true. Someday soon, I'll tell you why.

I have all my goodies for tomorrow.
All my errands ran.

What I don't have is enough volunteers in Sandpoint for our statewide event this Saturday. Do you have two hours to spare for reproductive freedom? #idpol

Loved my conversation with Pulitzer winner Paul Starr - one of the founders of the @prospect.org - about his new book American Contradiction. We discuss how the End of the Cold War was the first step in the creation of MAGA populism.

No seats left at the criminal hearing for the town hall this morning. The KCRCC showed up for this one.

Today we’ll be hearing a motion to dismiss from the defendants (LEAR security guards). The judge has also handed out jury instructions in the event that the case moves forward. #idpol

OMFG. Hush season 2 is RIVETING.

Last week I yelled, “NOOOOOO, I CANNOT WAIT ANOTHER WEEK.”

Something tells me this week I might be yelling, “NOOOOOOO, THAT CANNOT BE THE END!”

It’s so good. Can’t wait. 🤣
You, too, can mainline Hush before the final episode drops this week!
I've been mainlining @leahsottile.bsky.social's Hush podcast lately, and it's such good reporting and a completely gripping story: www.opb.org/show/hush/

It also unexpectedly really makes me miss being a journalist.

Gearing up for another day of collecting signatures for Idaho’s Reproductive Freedom.

It’s been a slow signature week and I’m hopeful today will make up for it.

If you haven’t signed the initiative yet, I have tons of time to come to you this afternoon between events in CdA. #idpol backtoidaho.com

🤯 While I was talking to voters in Genesee, a White Christian Nationalist (WCN) scandal dropped.

Let’s turn the volume up on this one. It’s a little too quiet for my taste.

WTAF? This is why we do background checks on anyone engaging in hate ideology. We do them immediately.

I’ll be doing nearly a dozen of them this week after people admitted on a podium that their personal trauma is something that affects their ability to be nonbiased at their professional jobs.
"I just say, ‘You know, it’s hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.”

Gaines never talks about her teammates who were raped by her coach that she supported.

Thank you, Eric! I’m so proud of my neighbors who are supportive of our non-discrimination ordinance! ❤️

I’m going to be sharing some excellent testimonies tomorrow. Eric’s is def one of them. #idpol
Just spoke in support of not messing with the existing NDO. I wasn’t alone

I seriously can’t wait to clip this testimony for all to enjoy. #idpol
The person speaking just killed it.

They said sexual crimes committed by women towards little girls in Bonner County far exceeds that committed by transgender citizens. Because there’s been none in the last decade.

By the logic of the transphobes, they should ban women from women’s bathrooms. 🎤

Texas' abortion ban has killed yet another woman. Here's exactly what the anti-abortion response will be:

They’ll claim doctors were legally allowed to “intervene” or “treat” Tierra Walker with "care." They won't say she could have had an abortion because they don’t believe in life-saving abortions
