Congress shall make no law… abridging the right to free speech. 1st Amendment, United States Constitution.

Props to @boisedev.com for actually using the word Nazi in front of "salute" in their headline. We all see it, and we all know what it is, but most news organizations are afraid to say it. Kudos @donday.bsky.social

I want to say a huge thanks to @kayethornbrugh.bsky.social and her reporting of this incident. Her article was detailed, accurate and unbiased (unlike some other early reports). The facts helped counter the spin and get the word out.

#Idaho is lucky to have her and she deserves a follow. #IdahoNews
