Today as we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I again read the Letter from Birmingham Jail. It’s perfect in its construction; jarring in its impact; timeless in its truth. Together let’s honor his memory with action to achieve his vision of justice for all. kinginstitute.stanford.edu/sites/mlk/file

Boise lost a true champion in Hy Kloc. Hy was a kind, calm and steady presence in our community for years, championing human rights, care for furry friends and taking care of those most in need. My heart goes out to his wife, Joan, and all those who were touched by his light.

On this #TransDayOfRemembrance we honor and remember those in our community lost to violence, and lost too soon. Particularly on this day when we mourn lives lost to hate in Colorado Springs, we must again reaffirm our commitment to each of you.

I love our trails. Boiseans love our trails. So we've made a real time map to help you choose trail times, and trails, responsibly. Please turn around if you hit a muddy trail, choose an all-weather trail, or head out early while they're still frozen! ridgetorivers.org/trails/interac

I’m often asked why politicians from different parties can’t work together for the common good. They can, especially when providing real support for public education. Thank you, Senator Fred Martin (R), for your endorsement. #idleg #idpol #electrickjust

Like many of you, I still remember where I was when I heard that the first plane hit the WTC. All those who lost loved ones, cared for those hurt, lost and sacrificed their lives that morning are in my thoughts today.

If you know someone who answers phones at any of the Pride-supporting businesses targeted by the Idaho GOP, check in on them. The vitriol they're enduring is especially ugly and hateful.

Bundy and his associates have made a habit of harassing city employees, personally targeting doctors, and threatening judges and so many others in our community and consistently disregard established ways of ensuring public safety.

I believe Mr. Bundy intentionally misrepresented the event on the reservation to skirt the special events process and requirements we have in place.

You may hear the city cancelled a reservation made for, but not by, Ammon Bundy for a campaign rally at Cassia Park on September 10th. Upon discovering this park reservation was made under a different name, and for a different purpose, the city canceled the reservation.

Thank you for your statements on behalf of our residents, and your support of the resolution.

Tonight we passed a resolution that we won’t use city resources to investigate claims of abortion. The extreme Idaho law erodes our residents’ rights, invades our privacy, and puts the health of many at risk. Boise won’t be a part of this. ~ LM

Well after two and a half years, COVID caught up with me. I’m feeling ok, but cough a ton at night. So grateful for the vaccine.

It is particularly harmful for women of color & low-income women.
No one should have to flee their state to access safe healthcare. I remain steadfast in my support for all people who need access to abortion care & stand with them in fighting for privacy in health care decisions.

I am infuriated, & intensely worried. The decision to terminate a pregnancy is deeply personal and private. This decision by the Supreme Court will have devastating consequences on the health, privacy, & economic independence of women throughout our community, state, and nation.
