Just wild numbers
about to touch down in dc so i wanna tell a brief story about how a trip to idaho changed me forever
Happy Trans day of visibility! Trans people are some of the coolest and nicest people I know. They deserve so much more support and safety than they receive. No one’s life should be made harder because of their identity.
Support trans people.
The last chance to stop the criminalization of trans Idahoans is a veto. I will be absolutely shocked if Brad Little vetoes this, as his only priority is remaining governor. I think it would take thousands of voices in opposition, which we do not have. We do what we can! 208-334-2100 and this form ⬇️
I sent a message asking it to be vetoed.
Every year, January to April, people accuse me of fearmongering in my reporting. Every year around this time, bills pass. And without fail, every year, the ratchet tightens.
And now Idaho just passed a bill that could put me in prison for years—for washing my hands in a bathroom.
Another sign we live in the worst timeline.
I am in Long Beach for the @usitt.bsky.social theater conference. Excited to see a show at the Garage theatre. After working in a storefront theatre it is always fun to see how others do it. #livetheatre #theatre
Nearly every Republican-held seat in the Idaho Legislature is being contested this year. No matter where you live, you will be able to vote for, volunteer for, and donate to Democrats who are committed to restoring some human decency to the Statehouse. You can be a part of making that change.
We need to vote these ghouls out of office.
The Idaho legislature is the worst part of living in Idaho. They have mismanaged the state budget. Now they turn back to spreading hate and fear which they feel is more important. They are determined to attack freedom and making the state a worse place to live unless you look like them.

Transcribed Text: BILL UPDATE Idaho House Passes One of the Most Extreme Bathroom Bills in the Country HB 752 would make it a crime for a transgender person to use a public bathroom that aligns with their gender identity, with punishments of up to five years in prison.
We condemn the Idaho House for passing one of the most extreme anti-trans bathroom bills in the nation. HB 752 would make it a crime for a trans person to use gender-aligned public bathrooms, with punishments of up to 5 years in prison. Learn more about this bill: buff.ly/9lDShqv
“Over the last several years, (Idaho) legislators have gone from refusing to protect us to actively targeting us,” said Nikson Mathews, who serves as chair of the Idaho Democratic Queer Caucus. #idleg #idpol
The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions!
This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"
This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.
Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."
1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?
Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.
Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
Merry Christmas!
It is at long last finally snowing in Sun Valley!
Annual reminder that the Salvation Army is what the name says.
They are militant Christians, call themselves soldiers and wear military uniforms to church.
They're also EXTREMELY anti-queer and their handling of donations is VERY shady.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,
it is right.
No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,
it is a strength.
No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,
it is unlimited.
This is my dream.
We had to as a group understand how bad they were.
The first time I had thanksgiving dinner with my now brother in laws family. His sister is gluten free. In the pre-thanksgiving rush she had grabbed gluten free rolls that were also dairy free. They were the driest and most tasteless things I have ever had. She felt horrible but we all had one.
