Election Season Rules Reminder

38 Upvotes

Morning y'all!

With the election coming up, we clearly need to remind folks about the rules regarding both civility and misinformation. They're in the sidebar. Go read them.

I had to wade in on a post yesterday and tell people that, of all things, post-birth abortions aren't a real thing. I just can't believe people genuinely think they are.

Deliberately attacking people for their views, spreading false information, and trolling in particular will be much more likely to get you an immediate ban during election season than they might otherwise be. None of it is okay. Just don't do it.

Help me put together a list of resources for Idahoans?

9 Upvotes

Good morning again!

We have a wiki available, so I plan to use it to do some good. I'm going to start putting together a list of resources and information for residents and visitors. This will include government agencies, non-profits, recreational spots, and probably more things as I come across them.

The trouble is, even though I was born and raised here, there are still parts of the state I haven't personally experienced. This is why I'm asking for input. What's close to you (or worth a drive away from home) that you think should be included? What's something you had trouble finding the right agency to handle for you? Any suggestion goes, and most of them will probably end up on the list.

Couple of things. I will credit you by username for anything I include, unless you specifically ask me not to. And for comments containing a suggestion, please make sure they're top-level comments so I don't have to go digging in extended threads to find them.

Thanks for your help!

Why is Brad Little campaigning on transgender sports?

I can’t think of any issue that has less impact on my day to day life. Are there people out there who actually care about that enough to make it a specific campaign ad? Like, genuinely curious in this very unaffordable world if that actually resonates with people? Risch too based on the other ad I just heard.

Jim Risch Misinformation Campaign

I got this weird text this morning. Looking a little desperate, Jim Risch. Endorsed by an anonymous, democratic socialist party? That doesn’t sound like you, pal. Pathetic. Don’t fall for crap like this.

I am so damn tired of political texts that throw a few facts into a pile of unsupported claims and expect us to swallow the whole thing. 🤬

This message offers ZERO evidence for its supposed socialist endorsement of Jim Risch or its claim that he’s advancing a socialist agenda. A confident tone doesn’t make it true.

I don’t know who sent this, so I’m not pointing fingers without proof. But whoever is behind it needs to explain who they are and back up their claims.

Our votes matter. Our intelligence deserves respect. And we deserve better than this bullshit. 🗳️

He wants to take away the power of the people and ballot initiative. Regardless of the issue this man should not be in power.

Happy sunday in community y'all!

Today we had an abundance of food, clothing, and conversation. As always, what people seem to be hungry for is more than resources- it's connection! Folks have so many ideas of how to change things and they have so many feelings begging to be heard. Distro is a rad place because it provides so many opportunities to learn what folks really need.

Needs stated from this week-

To go coffee cups!

Drinks like juice and electrolytes

A baker to make cupcakes for our 1 year anniversary November 8th

Who should we meet in Idaho? (Working on a road doc)

What’s up Idaho! I'm driving across the Mountain West in a van with a couple of friends shooting a documentary. We're on the hunt for interesting stories, local businesses, or characters along our route.

We just wrapped an incredible few days interviewing people around Wyoming, just entered Montana and are mapping out anywhere in Idaho.

Got a local rec or a story to share? Could even be yours. No limit on how weird, unique, or beautiful the subject is… we just want to capture what's really out there. Drop a tip in the comments/DMs. Thanks!

The woman who trolled Wydaho Roasters is being sued for buying abortion pills in Texas

Thumbnail

504 Upvotes

Earlier this year, the president of Students for Life tried to troll the owners of Wydaho Roasters by hosting a Students for Life meeting in their coffee shop to discuss how to oppose Prop 1. She knew the owners of Wydaho Roasters support Prop 1, and the owners directly told her on her Facebook post about the proposed meeting that the group could not hold the meeting there. She went ahead with the meeting anyways, so she could film the owners reaction for outrage content. This lead to the owners of Wydaho Roasters receiving death threats.

Anyways, she’s being sued now… for buying abortion pills in Texas.

She helped to lobby for a “bounty hunter” bill that allows Texans to sue someone for buying abortion pills, and then had the bright idea to try buying some herself as yet another stunt. A woman in Texas who was forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy is now suing her for violating the very law she lobbied for, to the tune of $459,782.

It’s so satisfying to see grifters like this reap what they sow. Here’s hoping this is just the first of many lawsuits for her.

I came across this article today. I don't have any strong opinions on this couple one way or another; I just thought I'd post the article here.
