Folks. This is what an attempt to overthrow a government looks like.
@GovernorLittle time to talk about budget holdbacks. You have state agencies FURLOUGHING employees, cutting wages/laying them off, yet you're bragging about a surplus? We shouldn't have a surplus at the expense of the people whose backs support this state. https://t.co/P2kJz9aZQI
Why is a state agency laying off and furloughing employees if the state is going to have a "record surplus," huh? Doesn't add up. #votethemout https://t.co/P2kJz9aZQI
@jaclynbrandt@IDAHOgov@GovernorLittle Yes. Multiple employees were asked to pay back their unemployment benefits. If they had federal taxes withheld from their benefits, they had to pay back those monies as well because the federal government wouldn’t return those funds to the state.
@GovernorLittle I hope that slashing higher-ed’s budget to ADD to your rainy day fund was worth the tremendous layoffs and furloughs of hard working Idaho residents.
@DrasticJo @KristalAGoGo Feeling really glad and mad that I’m not the only experiencing this. I have one grandparent that is really pushing the boundaries and making me feel shitty over it. 😒
Seems like it should be bigger news that thousands of protesters have surrounded the Aurora Police Department.
And are saying they won’t leave until the cops who murdered Elijah McClain are fired.
Their names are Randy Roedema and Nathan Woodyard.

So it feels like people don’t know:
1. There’s still an occupation at NYC City Hall.
2. There’s an occupation outside the Governor’s mansion in North Carolina.
3. A sit-in has started at #BlackLivesMatter plaza in DC.
4. The Aurora police station is surrounded right now.
Indigenous protesters at Mount Rushmore (sacred Lakota land) have removed the tires from the large white vans in the background, creating a road block that will be very difficult to move.

Land where demo is happening is unceded treaty territory.
Soldiers firing pepper balls at ppls' feet & lower limbs in attempts to force them back from the state highway, which leads to "Mount Rushmore" where Trump & Pence are scheduled to speak tonight.

I saw a tweet from an undergrad saying that university should be free of it is going to be remote.
It reminded me of a conversation I had with an admissions officer about the large spending on fancy dorms and gyms and the lack of spending on faculty. He told me a thing.
