Old but relevant as we get into summer. This is why you don't chuck rocks off cliffs/mtns, or use the golf clubs on top of Borah (or any of the mtns that have them, I wish I could haul them all out). There are people and critters below. www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adve...

Anyone know anything about Chazak Rescue? They're behind Impact Thrift funding Chazak (took Bench Commission spot.) Often I am wary of faith based orgs, but know not all are sus (hey, nuns who raised me were social justice warriors and shaped me). I can't find any controversies. What do you know?

(1/4) Today, the Supreme Court announced that it would decline to hear a case brought by Apache Stronghold to defend Oak Flat. The group is affiliated with the San Carlos Apache Tribe, which has been fighting to save their sacred site from being turned into a copper mine.

"Our students don’t need us to be perfect. They need us to be present. To care about their ideas. To show up as real, flawed, thinking humans—ones who know when to call in the robot helpers, and when to put them aside and just read the dang paper." lizalong.substack.com/p/chatgpt-th...

They chant 'all lives matter,' while celebrating a trans kid's death. They chant it while we fund a genocide. They chant it when kids are ripped from their parents (and vice versa) to defend whatever the hell a border is. They chant it while screaming "drill, baby, drill," while the Earth cries.

BREAKING: An Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter has killed at least 25 Palestinians, mostly women and children, Gaza's Health Ministry said. The school was hit three times while people slept, setting their belongings ablaze, they added.

Are you kidding me right now

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

Twelve years (and 2.1 billion views) ago, when my brother and I decided that we could make videos that could maybe help people in their high school and college educations and then give them away for free, no one was there to tell us we were crazy, and I am very glad for that...🧵

it's state propaganda now

Happening now!

Exactly. For those who keep saying what’s happening is ‘not like us’…it has always been how the US operates, especially to BIPOC and overseas. What you mean is: ‘this is not the democracy story I was told, and I’ve been lied to.’

The contempt that these folks have for the poor and under-privileged is galling. Yes, it is ethical to buy used books. Yes, it is ethical to borrow books from the library. Not everyone can afford to shop at Barnes & Noble, but everyone deserves the joy of reading.

IE: How the west could help mitigate fires, by reducing the demand on the power grid by developing and promoting solar.

"Layoffs and attrition have shrunk campus employment by 38% in the past 11 years. “It’s just this big snowball,” said Krista Bowers Sharpe, an associate professor and librarian. She got laid off this month after 28 years at the school." www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

1/ Thank you to all those who reached out asking abt my family. All are safe. One friend asked if tornados were always like this growing up. Yes and no. Sometimes violent, but not this often. Historic ones are now just the norm. My mom almost got fired in this day: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_Su...

A federal appeals court has lifted a lower court’s injunction, allowing former Trump’s executive order to proceed. This order aims to revoke collective bargaining rights for a significant portion of federal employees.

What people did before the interwebs.

one thing I respect about medieval beekeepers is their total commitment to looking like Doctor Who villains

1. Far right federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has just vacated all EEOC protections for gay and trans people in the work place. He says protections from "being fired" do not mean they are protected from harassment by Title VII. I cover this insane ruling here. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Your Friday reminder that there are beautiful and good things in Idaho, and its awesome people and hills are worth fighting for. Tho, should be noted this is stolen land.

Today is the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, when over 750k Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes during the creation of Israel. In the last day, Israel killed 115 Palestinians in Gaza. Israel has killed more than 50k Palestinians since October 7.

NASHVILLE: “Panic at Trump supporter Steve Smith’s restaurants indicates his own Broadway empire relies on employing immigrants not authorized to work in 🇺🇸” Kitchens closed to avoid ICE in at least 3 bars— including @KidRock’s… Imagine that! www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

Been thinking about this a lot. We have such a fast news cycle and have developed societal short attention spans that we have forgotten that there are humans perishing in a prison camp that our tax dollars sent them to.

The Trump administration recently notified Klukwan's tribal library that it was canceling two grants that account for the vast majority of its budget. That left the staff no choice but to cancel all future events – and dramatically reduce their hours. (From KHNS - Haines)

Trump's proposed budget slashes $475M+ from tribal housing programs, completely cuts Native Hawaiian housing grants, and eliminates competitive funding that tribes depend on. tribalbusinessnews.com/sections/rea...

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

The guy leading the charge against the Pride flag at Boise city hall is a virulent anti-Semite who likes to dress in brown face & drag for stunts & says he’s interested in The Turner Diaries, a bloody race war novel that’s inspired numerous violent neo-Nazis #idpol

I agree; the US is engaged in human trafficking under the Trump administration by their own definition & the international community’s. open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

Seeing white South Africans immigrate to the US while some 70,000 Afghans can’t get here after they helped us in combat for 20 years.
