State Terror A brief guide for Americans

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.
This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped"

Nothing like getting a message from a return customer asking about a $100+ order placed two weeks ago to alert me that, somehow, Meta reopened my “shop” without my knowledge. Old prices, no shipping. And no email, no order notification? When this order is out, I’m setting Commerce Manager on fire.

I’m so glad you’re here.✨

When I got COVID in North Idaho at the height of the pandemic, the urgent care doctor at our hospital prescribed me ivermectin, shared YouTube videos from conspiracy theorists with me, and railed about how the vaccine was a hoax. I’m sure he’s thrilled about this.🙄

Over an image of a person waving a trans flag in front of a blue sky, text reads: Breaking - Governor Little signs two anti-trans bills into law. The “indecent exposure” bill is effective now and the “bathroom bounty” bill will be effective July 1. Our statement:"

Over a black background, white and red text reads: About these bills. House Bill 264 - “Bathroom Bounty” Bill. Mandates community colleges, universities, correctional facilities, and domestic violence shelters, segregate bathrooms, changing rooms, and sleeping quarters by sex assigned at birth despite warnings that it will cause harm to both trans people and anyone who doesn’t fit within certain gender stereotypes. The law has zero protections against invasive genital exams and research shows these types of policies lead to increased risk of assault for trans people and women. House Bill 270 - Broadening “Indecent Exposure” Substantially expands definitions of “criminal indecent exposure” to include female breasts and male breasts that have been “surgically or hormonally altered.” This applies to public spaces and anywhere someone may be “annoyed or offended.” Under this new law, only cisgender men can’t be criminalized for their bare chest.

Over a black background, red bold text on the top reads: our statement on governor little signing anti-trans “indecent exposure” and “bathroom bounty” bills into law. In white text: We are deeply disheartened that the Idaho legislature and Governor Little have passed these unnecessary and harmful bills into law, ignoring the will of Idahoans yet again. Make no mistake: these new laws are part of a large-scale, coordinated, well-funded national effort attempting to legislate trans people out of existence. While these laws target our trans community, they show that Idaho electeds champion unprecedented attacks on people’s rights. If we allow discrimination against trans people, we set a precedent that Idahoans’ civil liberties are fair game for dismantling. If you don’t think you will be targeted, history shows us this is only the beginning. We cannot turn our attention away from this calculated effort to dismantle our civil liberties and personal freedoms. We must resist.

Over a black background, red bold text reads: Our statement continued. In white text: Let’s be clear: trans people deserve the same dignity and freedoms as everyone else. While we are very disappointed in our elected officials, we refuse to feel defeated by these pieces of discriminatory legislation. This fight is not over. We are more committed than ever to defending the rights of ALL Idahoans to live safely, freely, and authentically. In large red text over a red background: To our trans community: we will not stop fighting alongside you.

We are deeply disheartened by the governor's signing of anti-trans bills HB 264 and HB 270. Make no mistake: these new laws are part of a deliberate effort to erode people's civil liberties. We must resist. To our trans community: we will not stop fighting alongside you 🏳️‍⚧️

Two tiny asparagus spears peek out from sunny soil in a garden bed.

I’m a rainbow in a red state bordering Canada. My business is seasonal, conducted through a farmers’ market that was beloved by Canadian tourists. Between Canadians (rightly) not wanting to visit and tariffs on ingredients/packaging, I’m crashing out.🥴😫
So, here’s my emotional support asparagus.

ICE gestapo kidnapped a lawfully permanent resident living in Twin Falls, ID. Media, PAY SOME GODDAMNED ATTENTION...!!

The "pro-life" crowd sure don't seem to care about kids who are actually living out in the world.

So, a Deadeye mind trick?

Ernie is excited about his territory expanding now that spring has sprung.

Five Failures in the Oval Office (video) America hurt itself badly today.

Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

I got you! The only reason I knew was because you were so clear in your posts other places (and I don’t want anyone to miss out!).

That’s 9PM Mountain (in case you, too, are in the north).😉

You need to watch this about the Republican "town hall" incident in #Idaho yesterday.

*Please repost* it to get this message out as far as possible, the GOP is actively spinning this incident.

YouTube video by theidaho97 Kootenai Co. Sheriff Bob Norris Targets Single Citizen for Violent Removal at Community Town Hall

Congress shall make no law… abridging the right to free speech. 1st Amendment, United States Constitution.

Apparently Kootenai Co. Sheriff Noriss doesn’t think that applies to him, nor does he respect the Constitution, nor the Constitutional rights of Idaho Citizens.

We heard a loud “crack!” on Wednesday night—couldn’t determine where it originated. Thursday morning our mud room door would not align to close in its frame, so my Beloved had to adjust it to fit. Today we learned the sound was the result of an earthquake: apparently our house didn’t like it!😬

StarLink got the boot today!🥾📡 Grateful to have non-Musky internet!

We have friends coming over for dinner tomorrow night for the first time since the inauguration; I am a tiny bit terrified about navigating conversations with this tsunami of thoughts/feelings right under my skin.🫠

I lost a year of my life to the stress that was me trying to solve this very crisis late last summer.🙃

A social media post from Cheri Jacobus reads: “I think having Pete Buttigieg doing a daily Dem press briefing on Capitol Hill is an outstanding idea. Make him the Democratic Press Secretary and give him a staff. I promise you the media will cover him—especially the one’s Trump just kicked out of the White House! A daily opposition press briefing will have all of the legit media in attendance (what’s left of it) and the world will watch. Failure to do this is surrender. And the world will see that, as well.” There is a photo of Pete Buttigieg in the lower right-hand corner.

I’m sorry to distract you from the important work you’re already doing @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, but I think @cherijacobus.bsky.social has a REALLY good idea here.

I wish it were me.😩

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall.

That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.
