Fostering a Fourth Democratic Wave is a project aimed at catalyzing support for nonviolent pro-democracy movements fighting against authoritarian rule. A link to the full, free playbook can be found in the video comments. youtu.be/Evm0l4rdxn8?...

Try to remember in this difficult time that protecting your mental and physical health, and finding even a little joy each day is a powerful act of resistance. They want us fearful, weak, and hopeless.

Candlelight service in memory of Renee Nicole Good in Anchorage tonight.

It’s beginning to feel like ICE was not installed to protect American democracy but to usher in a fascist state.

Question: If Trumpsters are so certain that Jonathan shot in self-defense, then why is the investigation being suppressed? One would think a full investigation—or a trial—would be welcomed to clear him of any wrongdoing. Same with the Epstein files.

Remember, America: Elbows out. Phones up.

Let’s warm up Anchorage. Want to join me for this Indivisible event? mobilize.us/s/VuJLaC

John Roberts and the Supreme Court justices who shielded so-called “official acts” from prosecution: you have blood on your hands. Mitch McConnell, Merrick Garland, William Barr: you have blood on your hands. Rep senators who voted to acquit in the 2nd impeachment: you have blood on your hands.

This is the appropriate response.

If they’re willing to shoot an American bystander in the head in broad daylight, imagine what’s going on behind closed doors with the poor people they’ve detained.

The WH reports that Renee Good used her vehicle as a weapon, yet all the footage I’ve seen shows the shooting officer approaching from the 11 o’clock position and firing point-blank at 3 o’clock. He was clearly not in danger when he opened fire. 1/3

History is full of periods of collective irrationality that feel unprecedented to those inside them. They always end, but not gently.

I think I’ve decoded Trump. He lies about everything he’s done, and tells the truth about everything he intends to do.

2026 sure went to hell in a hurry. We’re just not going to have any good years until he’s gone.

If it’s okay now for other countries invade, remove and try unhinged dictactors, then who is coming for ours?

Rang in 2026 from a chilly Anchorage rooftop. Happy 2026 everyone!

Light needs dark to hold it. May 2026 be like when Earth tips toward the heart of the galaxy and billions of points of light dazzle away the darkness. Happy New Year!

I have a dream where Trump walks onstage before tens of thousands of empty seats. The squeak of a janitor’s sneaker and clatter of something dropped in the distance are the only sounds. He looks around, confused, and asks, “Where is everyone?” Then the police arrive and place him under arrest. 🙌

Given all the unfortunate years we’ve had to become acquainted with his character, it isn’t shocking to hear he engaged in a criminal scheme to overthrow the election. It IS shocking that despite doing so, he was not barred from running for office. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

I wrote my members of Congress about Trump’s unhinged Rob Reiner post, included a copy, and asked when they would stop supporting this and start supporting removing him from office. Murkowski responded immediately with a sidestep, but the speed suggests her office was already doing damage-control.

Reaching for a new low, Donnie has far exceeded himself this time. He’s managed to victim blame, politicize a murder that has nothing to do with him, and make it all about himself in one go. RIP Rob and Michelle. The sane and compassionate world is grieving you.

No surprise with wishy washy Murkowski, but Sullivan is one of the staunchest sycophants in the Senate. Wonders never cease. Maybe it’s a sign the base is starting to crumble. 🤞 alaskapublic.org/news/politic...

I guess it’s time to accept that not everyone views corruption as a serious character flaw. Some people seem to admire grift as if it were an art form, and even esteem those who get away with it.

New Yorkers not having it. youtube.com/shorts/WGK5n...

More of this from security forces, please. youtube.com/shorts/Z4ckh...

I didn't think I could be more disappointed in Dunleavy's gubernatorial performance, and then came this. alaskapublic.org/news/public-...

Everyone has the same right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The ability to amass a fortune should not grant anyone surplus power or prestige. Quite the opposite, in fact. Accumulating great wealth is often attended by a corruption of the soul that makes for the worst kind of leader.

Greed and cruelty are the only reasons for this. youtube.com/shorts/2QWAc...

EPA just okayed PFAS “forever chemicals” on produce. Protect yourself by choosing organic, avoiding sludge-fertilized farms, buying local, and asking grocers to reject PFAS. Shifting spending to PFAS-free farms pressures the industry to stop.

Sunday vibe at my house.

Where, oh where are the reporters like Barbara? youtube.com/shorts/zNuB3...

I have a lot of hope for the younger generations. I'm also angry on their behalf about what some in the older generations have imposed on them.

Resting like an angel after digging up a potted plant, eating the fungus gnat sticky trap and ending up in pet ER for 7 hours. I, on the other had have had very little sleep.

In a lot of mythologies, red auroras were associated with war. Good thing they were just stories. Veterans Day auroras in Anchorage.

After the Senate Democrats caved, there’s been a flood of rhetoric about how the Party needs to be reformed. But what if the fact that we’ve devolved into a self-perpetuating two-party system is the real root of the problem? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

I wonder if it's finally clear that a two party system doesn't work, especially when both parties are more interested in representing big business than the people who elected them. In any case, some Democrats just made it incredibly clear that the will of the people is not their top priority.

This is Alaska gubernatorial candidate Tom Begich with his wife Sarah Sledge singing “Take a Stand” a couple years ago, but it’s very appropriate for 2025. youtu.be/xcO99D8W7eA

Yesterday was a very good day for democracy. But make no mistake — we’re entering the most treacherous part of the fight. The regime is too deep in corruption to give up easily. They’re facing an existential threat, and they will do ANYTHING to stay in power and avoid consequences.

Speaking as an Independent, I’m not as chuffed about Democratic wins as I am about winds blowing toward progressive reform. I’m all in for civic-minded candidates with integrity, and the will to fund quality education and universal healthcare. If some of them happen to be younger Dems, so be it.

THIS is how you take down tyranny. It’s time to stop blaming and start listening to each other’s pain — to recognize that we’re all being hurt by the same forces. Once we understand that, we can begin working together to build a better country. #endtyranny youtu.be/RP8Oxe6OxJc?...

Unity is our strength. Division is our downfall. That’s why we’ve been turned against each other — so we don’t see who the true enemy is. The most radical act of resistance is to build the hell out of community wherever you can. If you want to change minds, you have to change hearts first.

Looking at the faces in Anchorage Costco today felt like taking a virtual trip around the world. I worry so much about our colored communities now.

This throwdown by the current occupant of the White House really deserves momentum. While bragging about acing his cognitive test, he claimed AOC and Jasmine Crockett would fail miserably. Kimmel offered to fund the challenge, and Crockett accepted. Let’s go, Donald. people.com/jasmine-croc...

Kindness always matters. And in times when it seems most rare, it's revolutionary.

This is important to remember as ICE continues to reign terror on American cities. Unless they (we) descended from the original people, their (our) ancestors were immigrants, and likely lived on stolen land. youtube.com/shorts/oyg0C...

Our tax dollars should be going toward disaster relief to help people like the victims of the storms in Western Alaska and those struggling with medical costs and hunger. Instead, we’re bailing out Argentina while setting up GoFundMe pages to support our own citizens. America First, indeed.

Kindness rocks are taking an unexpected turn. Spotted this one in downtown Anchorage today.

Someone needs to run crime scene tape around this mess.

Yesterday saw the biggest anti-Trump rally ever. His response? Metaphorically shit on Americans from a military jet while presenting himself as king. This is not humor or meme culture. It's what he thinks of our system of government and Americans who dissent.
