This fucker snuck into Canyon County Pride wearing a rainbow shirt yesterday.

Last week, Mark Fitzpatrick -- owner of a right-wing Idaho bar -- promoted an anti-LGBTQ event on a white supremacist podcast. On the show, Fitzpatrick denounced the LGBTQ pride movement as "wicked." angrywhitemen.org/2025/06/09/m...

Eagle, Idaho's infamous troll

If you’re looking for quality independent reporting on what’s happening in Los Angeles, I’ve put together a starter pack for it. If you’d like to be added or know an indie who should be added, hmu

Couldn't agree more. Spot on regarding celebrating Pride and being in joyful community in Times Like These:

Canyon County Pride is another roaring success! Neither protesters nor the 95 degree heat can keep the community from showing up! #Pride #Nampa

Gearing up for an awesome day at Canyon County Pride at Lakeview Park in Nampa, Idaho! It’s about spreading joy, acceptance, and love for our fellow humans. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

It feels slightly out of touch to bring news about a successful and joyful Canyon County Pride with everything else going on. Pride is a celebration of struggle and survival; it's about joy in endurance, not ignorance. Grateful for peaceful moments together, acknowledging struggle. Happy Pride!

Last year, Canyon County Pride’s inaugural celebration proved more successful than its organizers dared hope, with thousands of attendees, long lines at the entrance and a packed event space. Organizers responded by making the event bigger and better in 2025.

Following violent raids on multiple workplaces, thousands have taken to the streets of #LosAngeles against ICE as Trump has sent in the National Guard. Police have injured multiple journalists and @seiu.org leader, David Huerta. Our roundup of spreading protests. itsgoingdown.org/national-gua...

Today you should send love to your trans friends. Tomorrow, too. Maybe every day for a while.

Today is Canyon County Pride! We definitely don't need all eyes on Idaho today but get there if you can and/or show some love and support if you have capacity!

there are powers that will do everything they can to convince you otherwise, but it should be said loudly that protest proves love. community is a conduit for love and oppression seeks to crush community. standing up to say no is an act of love

Here is a drawing in my sketchbook of a skateboard kid standing in resistance with the community to fascist ICE raids today in Paramount California giving the middle finger to the agents who fired dozens of munitions at them. Pen and ink on paper.

The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters. Hold on to what matters: take care of each other.

good morning

Sean just took a fucking headshot and is en route to the emergency room. Thousands of you have shared his work today. Pay the man:

Anyone in the streets to protect their neighbors is a fucking hero.

After watching and reading about dozens of human rights violations by ICE agents, let's just state the obvious: working for ICE in any capacity makes you complicit in this grave abuse of power, disregard for humanity and runs contrary to principles of human rights.

Leah Sottile is doing readings in Boise today and tomorrow!

People who generalize that Idaho and its residents are all hate-mongers have never seen the blocks of Pride flags leading up to the capitol in Boise on a sunny Saturday.

ICE is attacking working-class communities.

Tiny amount of Proud Boys, a neo-fascist group that includes open white supremacists, hold flags outside of Pride celebration in Naples, #Florida. Thousands of #Pride attendees are expect this year, even larger than last.

A father screams for his child from a tiny interview room within a basement waiting room inside LA federal building. The space is not a holding area. No food. No water. No diapers. Those initially detained include a 2-year-old US citizen and a woman with high-risk pregnancy.

'This Is What Fascism Looks Like': Beloved Labor Leader David Huerta Arrested | "This is about something much bigger," said the president of SEIU California, still in detention. "This is about how we as a community stand together and resist the injustice." www.commondreams.org/news/david-h...

Sorry everyone, but these are the rules* *That cis people made up

So much fucking tear gas. DHS going nuts right now. This is happening in your sanctuary city “Los Angeles”

What the fuck actually

Greenblatt is making it explicitly clear that the ADL is not merely anti-Palestinian but Islamophobic and anti-Black. Truly leaning into all the ugliest characterizations of the ADL over the years.

All eyes on LA

SEIU-USWW President David Huerta was injured and detained by federal agents in Los Angeles today while observing ICE activity. This is video of his arrest. Statement from SEIU in next post.

We are continuing to investigate what this new partnership means for Idahoans.

Follow and support @acatwithnews.bsky.social for consistently excellent on-the-ground reporting on protest activity and policing in LA and beyond.

One thing you can do this Pride is attend events in rural places that are haunted by far-right extremists. Berkeley Springs, West Virginia in the mid-Atlantic, or Coeur D’Alene, Idaho in the PNW. The people there appreciate your support and it helps them make a statement.

"Downtown BoiZe is kinda dingy and dirty"

People mobilize in #Oregon in solidarity with trans asylum seeker imprisoned by ICE. #Pride www.yahoo.com/news/rallygo...
