Hey all. We checked out for a -while- and came back to a BUNCH OF NEW PEOPLE! Sorry the horn has been so quiet, but like a lot of y'all, we've been losing our minds with all of the everything.

But we're not going to quit if you're not, and you've been so busy. We're proud of you all, Cowboy State.

Wyoming is a small state but somehow has the funds to support not one, but two ICE detention centers.

In 2019, DHS put out an RFI, soliciting bids for putting ATMs in each detainment center. As of 2019, WY has at least 2, in Cheyenne and in Casper.

And where they are is...quite telling. 🧵 1/3

This Request for Information, filed by DHS in 2019, has the list of every detainment center in the US (as of 2019). Take a look to see where your state has them.

Wyoming's are, as of 2019, in Casper and Cheyenne. We don't yet know if there are more, but it is very likely.

“'The term [genocide] does not necessarily signify mass killings although it may mean that...More often it refers to a coordinated plan aimed at destruction of...cultural institutions, physical structures, the economy—“of the life of national groups.” The “machine gun” was merely a “last resort.'”

There’s a kitschily-named concentration camp in Florida.

There’s a concentration camp in Florida.

There’s a concentration camp.

It has 32 men to a cage grabbed without due process for having brown skin.

People will visit there decades from now and say “NEVER AGAIN!”

Call your reps.

Casper's homegrown merchandise has been spotted in the wild, featuring prominently in California protests. This shot is from a video captured by a protester in downtown LA on July 7th.

For the record, these "less lethal" devices have been been directly fired at journalists and protesters.

Boosting this again: everyone is welcome and encouraged. Wyoming, we really need y'all. Wyoming is a frighteningly consequential state in the grand scheme of this administration's plans.
We're teaming up with The Take It Back Movement for an online workshop.

We’ll cover beginner-level actions and language that resonates tools to plant seeds, provoke thought, and build collective power.

Kraken, the country's second-largest crypto exchange, recently named Cheyenne as its home base.

Wyoming leaders believe their pursuit of digital assets is paying off but the fully remote company's presence is unlikely to bring many more jobs to the Equality State.

The history of "gator bait:"

The idea for Alligator Auschwitz didn't poof out of nowhere. They know exactly what they are doing. Here is some of the history of white alligator hunters who used Black children as bait.

We love to see it.

This "voter registration law" as FC fans still refer to it, is nothing more than an excuse to strip people with Brown last names of their rights.
OPINION: There's a lawsuit that could finally convince most Wyomingites that the state doesn't lack "election integrity" and noncitizens aren't stealing our elections, columnist Kerry Drake opines.

But if a new voter registration law is upheld, those false claims may never disappear.
Can we stop pretending that ‘election integrity’ was ever a real problem?   - WyoFile
Wyoming doesn’t need more voter registration laws just because the secretary of state claims our system is in need of a fix, columnist Kerry Drake opines.

The number of Wyoming towns showing up to make stuff happen is growing, and fast.
OPINION: In small-town Wyoming, more people are taking to Pine Street to wave American flags and signs in support of constitutional rights and shared wide open spaces.

Longtime Sublette County journalist Joy Ufford took a camera and notebook to one rally to capture the moment.

Taco John's does the best white people taco night, every night. (And we love white people taco night, to be clear.)
The phrase 'Taco Tuesday' was trademarked in 1989 by a Wyoming-based chain, but it’s now a beloved tradition everywhere!

He is obviously evil, yes, but he is crucially also the biggest mark of all time. He once thought Vince McMahon was dead because he saw his limousine explode on Monday Night Raw.
Trump: "We get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth. He's very nice all the time but it turns out to be meaningless."

This nonsense is a five-alarm fire for rural hospitals.
Rural America will not come out unscathed after Republicans passed their budget.

"The bill takes $1 trillion out of Medicaid. This is the largest cut to Medicaid in history & it's going to have dire impacts on rural hospitals & rural clinics & rural health centers,” says @alexsjacquez.bsky.social.
