Did YOU get that email from Rep. Mike Simpson? Claiming Democrats caused the shutdown is false - and using his official gov email for partisan lies is a House Ethics violation. File a complaint at ethics.house.gov. Truth and ethics matter. #EthicsMatter

Trans existence ≠ extremism. Trump’s NSPM-7 brands trans people as “NVE,” turning identity into a security threat. Idaho 50501 rejects scapegoating + defends our freedoms. #Idaho50501 #ProtectTransLives #NSPM7 #TransRightsAreHumanRights

🧡 Today is Orange Shirt Day, honouring survivors of residential schools and remembering the children who never came home. Inspired by Phyllis Webstad’s story of her orange shirt being taken, it’s a reminder to listen, learn, and affirm that Every Child Matters.

Orange shirt on a clothesline. National day for truth and reconciliation. Support indigenous communities by wearing orange.

We call on Idaho’s elected officials to take a stand: condemn genocide, protect free expression, and stop normalizing apartheid.

Five Idaho elected officials recently participated in a trip to Israel sponsored by the Israeli government. The stated purpose of the trip was to undermine the global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which is a nonviolent campaign to hold Israel accountable for its ongoing human rights violations.

By joining this propaganda effort, these legislators undermined Idahoans’ freedom of speech and consumer choice to engage in boycotts as a form of political expression. Supporting a foreign government’s agenda while it wages genocide against the Palestinian people is incompatible with claims of defending democracy and fighting authoritarianism here at home.

We are deeply disappointed in our state’s legislators for participating in this secretive trip, which helped normalize the atrocities being carried out by Israel. Elected officials should be condemning genocide and protecting the right to boycott, not lending credibility to propaganda.

We are troubled that this trip included members of both major parties. In particular, Representative Ilana Rubel defended her decision in an op-ed but did not acknowledge the reality of genocide in her statement. Regardless of political affiliation or intent, participation in this trip served to advance Israeli government propaganda and downplay the human rights crisis facing Palestinians.

🔥 HE’S BACK! Less than a week after Trump forced him off the air, Disney is bringing Jimmy Kimmel Live! back Tuesday. The people spoke, the money moved and power listened. 💪 Democracy is louder than censorship. 🎤 #JimmyKimmel #FreePress #ThePeople

First Colbert, now Kimmel. Kimmel called out their politics and got “canceled.” Meanwhile, Kilmeade called for the death of the homeless/ Free speech is under attack. So let's "cancel" Disney and hit them where it hurts. #MAGAThreat #CancelCulture #FreeSpeech #Kimmel #Hypocrisy #BoycottDisney

Brian Kilmeade said homeless people should be “euthanized.” Days later, a Minneapolis encampment was shot at. Calls for violence have real consequences. Fox must act. Advertisers must act. Words matter. #Accountability #StopHate #HomelessLivesMatter #MediaResponsibility
