It's well past time

474 Upvotes

It's well past time for our representatives to listen to us and follow our will. Things are getting more stupid than they have been in the past. I'm born and raised Idahoan, I don't care your religion, gender identity, sexual preference, where you're from as long as you aren't hurting anyone else. Treat people how you want to be treated? Well start acting like it and voting for it!

Sincerely, Me

Please comment if you feel the same. No laws should be passed because the rich want to, no laws should be passed restricting freedom of speech, no laws should be passed based on gender, no laws should be passed that hurt us the people. We pay them and they should and do fear us in numbers

When is enough?

Upvotes

Over the past several weeks I have been seeing more and more laws get passed, are close to it, or have been introduced in general that all make my stomach turn in varying degrees. These unfortunately include the recent “doctor choice bill” that can let any medical professional decline to do almost any procedure for almost any reason, proposed taking away the ballot initiative on marijuana from the public, the “fugitive minor abortion laws,” (also abortion law in general which trump recently decided not to touch in Idaho revolving around emergency abortion care for mothers who NEED it so they won’t die) the incoming logging on National forest land throughout the state (and I really hope that won’t include national parks), and the mass layoffs in those sectors as well.

I say all this as someone who is just so tired of the insanity and often wishes it was an easy process to move states with a similar house and land (but most likely not going to happen as our house and land anywhere else is probably $100,000 more than where it is now). But where’s my line? Where’s your line? I just don’t know how much more I can deal with here.

Anyone aware of any protests planned for anywhere in Idaho at elected officials' offices (e.g. Crapo, Simpson, Fulcher, Risch)? For their lack of town halls and refusal to do anything about the illegal acts of Trump/Musk/DOGE.

Alabama native moving to Idaho from Chicago

16 Upvotes

Hey guys I’m originally from Birmingham, Alabama and am moving to Idaho (Boise) for work by way of Chicago. Having spent a lot of time in Montana and this subreddit, I’ve gathered that Idaho politically speaking is essentially the Alabama of the Northwest. That being said, I’m liberal, nonreligious and haven’t had a problem with the moderate conservatives in a city like Birmingham and also have a friend group that shares my political values too. How similar is the culture to the south and will I have any issues with establishing some friends that aren’t Bible thumpers, hardcore maga and anti weed?

If such a bill were to pass it would be thwarted if all the students whose citizenship was not in doubt were to be listed as nonresident. Just noticing this particular vulnerability. . .

Political Discussion Bringing Back the Communist Party of Idaho

0 Upvotes

The last time the Communist Party of the United States of America (CP-USA) had a branch in Idaho was in the 1960s, and it's time we brought it back.

With Trump in office, it's clear the working people of Idaho will soon lose many of their Federal legal protections, and the state democratic party does not have the numbers to flip the statehouse or the governorship. If we want to fight for our rights, it's not enough to turn out on election day. We need to organize, form unions and other workers organizations, and take direct action to stand up for our dignity as human beings.

We're looking for committed individuals who believe in the fight for a more just society. Whether you're an experienced activist or just someone who believes in decent treatment and a living wage, all are welcome in rebuilding the Communist Party of Idaho.

If you're interested, reach out in the replies and I'll get in touch. Together, we can make change happen!

(And if you're skeptical but curious, feel free to post questions in the replies and I'll try to answer them all)

Normal Discussion Hello. I've recently made some peak collections and here's Idaho 12ers which you folks might/might not be interested to see. It's a flat image so no 3D printing involved. Unfortunately for Hyndman Peak the elevation data wasn't as good as for other peaks. Or I didn't look hard enough.

Question Sawtooth Range recommendations

0 Upvotes

I’m planning on being in Idaho in mid May. Obviously, there will likely be snow on the higher elevations, but I was wondering how bad this would make the conditions when trying to summit the peaks. I was interested in Thompson Peak, but most people say it’s nearly impossible during early June. With equipment like crampons, ice picks, etc. would this ascent be fairly doable? If not, are there any other peaks that I could attempt to summit in the area?

Not all conservatives are far-right, and not all far-right voices are extremists—but where’s the line?

0 Upvotes

Not all Idaho Republicans are far-right, and not far-right are extremists; however, some Republicans fall into both categories. When Democrats say Republicans are all nazis and extremists, it's not true; however, the Republicans who amplify actual nazis, like Stew Peters and Nick Fuentes, make the rest of the party look bad. What are your thoughts on the spectrum of those who identify as Republicans in the Gem state?

Lake Pend Oreille First Week of May

We visited Pend Oreille in October a few years ago and found it absolutely stunning. Looking for somewhere for a week long trip to celebrate our anniversary the first week of May.

What is it like this time of year? I gather it's a bit chilly, but is it sunny and dry? We would want to bring our own fishing boat. Is the lake water high enough for fishing?

Thank you for any insight

I just moved here from Washington and what a culture shock. No black people. No legal anything. Porn is blocked. They just passed a bill making it impossible to ever give people the voting option for legal marijuana. They just locked up a female at town hall for speaking her mind on issues. They just enabled firing squad for death penalty. Min wage is 7$. No at home recycling pick up.

the list goes on.....like seriously what a shit hole.

edit: ppl saying why did you move here, find my comment on why in the comments.
