🚨 Stop Big Oil’s Latest Land Grab—200 Million Acres at Risk! 🚨
Senator Steve Daines (MT) introduced the Supporting Made in America Energy Act, a public lands giveaway that would open 200 million acres to unchecked oil and gas development. That’s an area the size of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming combined—land that belongs to all of us, not just oil execs and their allies in Congress.

#IDAHO: State Rep. #StephanieNicholson LAWMAKER's #FAMILYFarm raided by #ICE

#FascistUSA #farright #extrêmedroite #AbolishICE #FASCISM ...full stop!

6.30 min. mark Apparently, Stephanie Nicholson doesn't know the definition of an #anarchist !! She also seems not to know that #NoOneIsIllegal, only undocumented.
But the point of posting this video, was to point out that #fascists in Idaho are going after non-marginalised privileged legislators for SPEECH.

If you don't spout their far right shit, the far right loonies will come after you.

Idaho lawmaker's family farm raided by ICE

I'm so impressed by this reporter. He also reported on the West Ada County school district that went after a teacher for her "Everyone is welcome here" poster.

In this climate, in a state as full of fucking Nazis as Idaho has become, this kind of reporting takes bravery. They're lucky to have this guy.

A Meridian teacher was told to remove a sign from her classroom because it violated district policy on “content-neutral classrooms.” Now, a Boise business is showing support by making T-shirts emblazoned with the sign. The sign and T-shirt say, “Everyone is welcome here,” above hands of different skin tones holding hearts. idahostatesman.com/news/local/ #Idaho

The Satanic Temple is very bad at court cases.

A federal district court judge in New York today sided with the online magazine Newsweek against The Satanic Temple, a tax-exempt church, finding there was no basis by the nontheistic religious organization to continue the defamation case against the publisher.

This should be the end of a case that started either three or five years ago, depending on what you want to start counting by.

The Satanic Temple sued the Newsweek and its reporter Julia Duin in February 2022 in retaliation for Duin writing and Newsweek publishing a critical article about TST in October 2021; that article centered on TST suing four former Washington State members in April 2020. That is, us. The Temple repeatedly lost their lawsuits against us over the next four-plus, the final one ending in October 2024.

Also, it's not official yet, but "Satanic Temple’s Idaho Abortion Ban Appeal Looks Likely to Fail"

Title comes from this Bloomberg writeup that probably is paywalled, but is pretty negative:
news.bloomberglaw.com/health-l

> A panel of Ninth Circuit judges on Wednesday appeared unlikely to give the Satanic Temple another shot at suing Idaho over measures that bar it from providing abortion care to members in the state.
>
> Questions of the group’s standing to sue—personal, associational, organizational, or otherwise—dominated the oral arguments, with Judge M. Margaret McKeown asking attorneys for both sides to clarify how the Satanic Temple can proceed when it hasn’t named any member who lives in Idaho, is pregnant, and wants to end the pregnancy.
>
> It can’t, state’s attorney Alan Hurst told the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
>
> But W. James Mac Naughton, a private practitioner in Newton, N.J., representing the Satanic Temple, said there’s a “statistical probability” that such a person exists. In his analysis, at least three people in Idaho currently are being harmed by laws that prevent the Satanic Temple from setting up a clinic or mailing abortion-inducing pills into the state, he said.
>
> Without a name, however, there’s no way to show the Satanic Temple’s claimed harm is anything more that pure speculation, Hurst said.
>
> Judge John B. Owens didn’t have any substantive questions for the attorneys, while Judge Ronald M. Gould stayed silent.

It goes on about some more of the background, but you can also just see all of their cases on The.Satanic.Wiki.

This Courthouse news article should be fully accessible and also characterizes it similarly:
courthousenews.com/idaho-says-

> “This case is about coerced motherhood and money,” James Mac Naughton, an attorney representing the Satanic Temple, told the court.
>
> But before Mac Naughton got too far into his argument, U.S. Circuit Judge Mary McKeown questioned him about the Temple’s standing.
>
> “Maybe you can explain to me what have you alleged that give you the predicates of associational standing?” Bill Clinton appointee asked.

A “Goofy” DJ’s Secret Life at the Center of an Online Terrorism Network

To friends, Matthew Allison was a likeable part of Boise, Idaho’s electronic music scene. But behind his computer screen, authorities say, he helped lead the Terrorgram Collective, an online network that inspired white supremacist violence.
