And why fast food managers get away with raping their employees. I won’t name names. Not after the statute of limitations has passed.

Don’t raise families in Idaho. It’s not worth the cheap cost of living.

Idaho is my home state. It is a place with a culture of abuse and victim blaming. That’s why prison guards get away with rape.

And why teachers get away with beating children in schools.

A year of reporting by INVW has uncovered the unjust reality for the roughly 1,300 women currently in Idaho prisons: Once behind bars, they’re kept there by mostly male guards who can harass, grope, and sexually assault them with confidence that it will be kept quiet.

La quête d’Elon Musk pour conquérir l’espace depuis le Texas cache la vampirisation d’un territoire, de ses habitants et de son écosystème : «Ils rêvent de bâtir le futur, mais ils piétinent tout ce qui vit au présent»

‘Vampirisarion’ c’est parfait comme mot. Je déteste Elon. Il et le pire genre de l’autisme.

Moi aussi je suis autiste. Mais je veux protéger l’environnement.

I don’t understand it. Why was my getting an education so horrible? Why do they hate the neurodivergent and disabled and want us all to suffer?

All we want is fair treatment. That’s all I’ve ever wanted.

We’ve filed a lawsuit challenging the unlawful mass firing of nearly half of all employees at the U.S. Dept of Education.

Gutting the Dept of Education from within would have catastrophic consequences for our nation’s students.

We’re going to court to protect them.

oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND ITS EMPLOYEES ARE VITAL TO OUR NATION'S STUDENTS AND SUPPORT:
Early Childhood Education
Literacy Development
Rural Education
Arts Education
Special Education
Student Support and Academic Enrichment
English Language Programs
Education for Homeless Children and Youths
Adult Education
Career and Technical Education
Financial Aid for Students
Community College
Education Research

AND SO MUCH MORE

I’m sorry Idaho. But I don’t have a lot of sympathy. I grew up being called a terrorist because my family practiced the Baha’i faith.

Perhaps Idahoans should learn to mind their manners around Arabic speakers, Baha’is, and Muslims from now on.

The Pentagon did not answer specific questions sent by Boise State Public Radio, but in an email, wrote the deal ”will enable the construction and operational integration of an enduring location for Qatari F-15 aircraft” and “was executed via foreign military sales.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Friday Mountain Home Air Force Base would be the new home of a Qatari fighter jets training facility.

I speak TERRIBLE Arabic by the way. A1 level at best!

Nadia @nadiahitchcock.bsky.social · 5d

I’m from Idaho and I’ve spoken Arabic for 10 years. I’m not sure about Quatar’s human rights records. But they’re about as respectful of marginalized communities as my ignorant, racist home state.

Perhaps the Spokane Police need to go on a budget like the rest of us. Cop toys aren’t nearly as necessary for their jobs as the shiny Truth Social ads claim.

Reminds me of that one time in Portland when an idiot Blue Lives Matter protestor broke your hand.

I hope that it healed! I was at that protest too, marching against the blue lives matter people. Your coverage helped me rationalize what happened after I went home.

Love your podcasts too.

I come from a family of medical practitioners in the United States.

The denial of science and embrace of dangerous alternative health practices has led to terrible health outcomes for their patients and our communities.

My family suffers from abysmal mental health. But we endure together.

Normalizing good urbanism requires culture change, and culture change requires an advocacy long game that makes space for ideas that seem impossible today.

Thank you for reporting this. We need to give renters in our city a way to escape abusive practices.

It’s wrong for convicted rapists to continue to abuse my neighbors from prison.

I always struggled listening to lore videos about Black Spiral Dancers. It can be fun to make truly vile characters for a WOD campaign.

But during the summer it gets a little too real. I can’t deal with Pentex lore when I’m trying to survive wildfire season. Good thing it’s not summer any more!

Mime game is a wonderful video game! I happen to be very bad at it. But I’d recommend it to pretty much anyone.

If you've tried this game in the past, give it another look. It has grown solo much!

The most interesting part of the event for me was a conservative small business owner who complained about making less money than his workers.

I am also a small business owner. And my income is so low that I qualify for Washington State food assistance.

I like voting for social welfare.

I attended a leftist town hall today held by Sara Dixit, a progressive running for city hall in Spokane, Washington.

Her eloquence and poise give me hope for my city’s future.
