Before all this I was a canine behavior specialist with a useless degree in creative writing. My journalism professor told me in no uncertain terms I was not cut out to be a journalist. It's 2026, we make our own rules out here.@Idaho 50501 #independentjournalism #theidahovangaurd

Foreign Policy Morning Debrief. Cuba. The stage is being set for a regime change in Cuba. Which will likely result in nothing beneficial for the Cuban people and piss off Cuba's friends who just so happen to be Russia. #cuba #foreignpolicy #independentmedia @idaho50501.bsky.social

Troops out of Poland, gotta go somewhere... I recorded this earlier this afternoon. And was going to post tomorrow, but apparently tonight it is. I wish i could use my powers for something to make my life easier instead of just giving me existential dread. #foreignpolicy #poland #Greenland #iran

Your morning Foreign Policy Debrief from Idaho's foremost clairvoyant on foreign policy. ugh. (it's just high pattern recognition and being hyper politically aware.) This is monroe doctrine shit. And also the playbook for how the CIA destabilized Venezuela.

Teaching an off leash heel is a matter of allowing choice, reinforcement and a solid relationship. Naiche hasn't done a lot of practice with her heel off leash. So we just did some work on the trail this weekend. The secret is being consistent! #dogtraining
