Now thousands of people - probably tens of thousands of people (Regence insures 370,000 people across Idaho) - will be forced to pay out-of-network costs.

People are going to go without care. People might die.

This is insane. #Medicare4All

Regence BlueShield is a HUGE health insurance provider in North Idaho.

Kootenai Health provides most specialty care for North Idaho.

Kootenai Med Ctr is our regional hospital. For many people, it's the ONLY local choice for maternity care. For cancer treatment. For several specialties.

To clarify: no trucks even TRIED to speed through or coal-roll us. They didn't even show up. Didnโ€™t come protest our rally.

They realized their stupid bullshit is ineffective.

On June 14th, we had 30+ armed counter-protestors.
Today, we had ZERO.

6/14: 4 jackholes in trucks sped through our rally and got speeding tickets.
Today, NONE.

6/14: 3 (?) trucks were ticketed for coal-rolling (revving & blowing black smoke all over people).
Today, NONE.

Change is happening. โค๏ธ

Iโ€™ll never forget the assassinations of two Democratic lawmakers who were shot and murdered in Minnesota a few months ago and fascist MAGA republicans not only mocking them but the orange felon not lowering flags for them or anyone who has died in mass shootings.

CALLOUT: I'm looking for people to talk to about their experiences with receiving any kind of care at Planned Parenthood, especially those who needed low-cost options. Can be any clinic anywhere, but bonus points if it's Alaska, Hawaii, Kentucky, Washington or Indiana.

Yesterday, my MAGA brother told me that my long-haul COVID issues were CAUSED by the mRNA vaccine. Despite the fact that they were present before I got vaccinated.

He DOES have a history degree, though, so he MUST know better than, you know, actual SCIENTISTS. ๐Ÿ™„

Idaho Governor Brad Little authorized up to 14 National Guard personnel to provide administrative support to ICE. Idaho State Police are already assisting ICE with transporting migrants to detention facilities.

Idaho lost one in three obstetricians after its abortion ban New research confirms: Crackdowns on reproductive rights have harmful ripple effects across local health care.

Two months after the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, in June 2022, Idahoโ€™s trigger ban outlawing most abortionsโ€”one of the strictest nationwideโ€”took effect.

According to a new peer-reviewed paper study, Idaho lost more than a third of its OBsโ€”94 of 268 totalโ€”afterwards.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

It's amazing how this works everywhere! Almost like kids need to eat to be able to focus in school!

Republicans have a better idea, though: bounce US kids out of school so they can take over the jobs immigrants did.

After all, an educated populace isn't very obedient.

@kelciemmorris.bsky.social is this anything the States Newsroom might want to cover? To show how ABSOLUTELY INSANE Idaho now is?

This is now Idaho Code? Subcontractors have to promise not to boycott Israel, promise not to be owned or operated by China & promise not to contract with abortion providers.

NOTE: This addendum is to a contract with an IT firm. So now it's required in every contract? What is this insanity?
