Apparently, in the US, consumer protection and conscience in big business, in all forms, has just been wiped off the face of the earth.

#Idaho The truth about the Wilder raid in Idaho comes to the surface through the press. A child was zip tied.
A local man, active in the county Republican committee set the record straight after ICE tried to claim widespread illegal activity was happening. He was working the horse race as security and was zip-tied along with his daughter, a child. www.ktvb.com/article/news...
Hired to protect the crowd but instead found himself detained. Private security contractor speaks out about Wilder raid.
"The spectacle is what was wanted, and the spectacle is what they got," the private security provider said about being detained at the Wilder raid.

It’s a good day. I exported my data from Amazon’s Goodreads (which has eliminated the words transgender and bisexual from it’s categories and replaced LGBT with gay and lesbian, seriously) and I’ve imported the file to Library Thing ❤️ which I LOVE. They are bad assed. #booksky

Challis, Idaho NO KINGS. Almost 50 people. Our biggest yet. New people. Tons of enthusiastic honks and waves. It feels good to have so much company in making clear that this administration’s lawless terror and use of military and masked ICE officers on Americans NOW is completely unacceptable.

Last night I imagined a Game of Thrones style shaming for the racists in masks, the violent bigots threatening trans people, and those Republicans trying to steal our tax dollars and health care funds to fund, weapons, ballrooms and a new department of war.

Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, wrote that it is “still hard to believe that policymakers just added $4 trillion to” deficits after Republican lawmakers “have spent months or years appropriately fuming about our unsustainable fiscal situation.”
Trump tax law runs up deficit by $3.4T, throws 10 million off health insurance, CBO says • Idaho Capital Sun
Republicans’ “big, beautiful” law will add $3.394 trillion to deficits and lead 10 million people to lose access to health insurance.

Shutting down Congress to avoid transparency on a child sex trafficking ring is quite a look.
BREAKING:
Mike Johnson just canceled votes for Thursday and is sending the House home early for summer recess in order to shut down Democratic efforts to demand more votes on releasing the Epstein files.

@theoutwordsarchive.bsky.social just posted the piece I wrote on The New York Times' Sara McBride-Ezra Klein podcast.
In all that talk about radical #gender ideology, did anyone else notice how the topic of the gender binary itself never really came up?

Trying to sum up the problems in the world right now and one of them is clearly sociopaths calling themselves Christians.

Did you get a pretty email from SocSecurity? It tells a tiny part of the story. The tax break actually comes out of social security funds (it's paid for by future retirees.) This "tax break" puts #socialsecurity itself at risk.
Read to the end of this article. Anyone under 65 doesn't get the break.

An email from the agency praised the bill, but only some recipients will see savings. Here's what the legislation means for seniors.

It is not big or beautiful to cut hard working people's health care and hungry people's food stamps to fund rich people's tax breaks and build more weapons of war.

#IDAHO Right now Congress is poised to pass that ugly #bigbeautifulbill with language MANDATING the SALE of YOUR national #forest & BLM public lands to the highest bidder. Mansions and fences instead of #wildlife, solitude, #hunting & #fishing. Affordable housing this is NOT.

Challis #idaho reminds you that big ugly bill sells off YOUR public land.
No Democracy; no freedom.
The constitution matters.
No one is free without checks & balances from independent courts & an independent congress.
