They’re just mad they couldn’t find another Mary Peltola to put on the ballot. They cry conspiracy because that’s how they sabotage elections. They still claim Trump won in 2020. If there were any evidence they would have presented it in the hearings. www.juneauindependent.com/post/report-...

It’s really good (so is her book on the subject)

For people running for office, here’s an issue that affects most people. adn-ak.newsmemory.com?publink=1d1d...

Good overview

The secrecy plus the coziness between AGDC and Glenfarne raises big red flags. Detailed, clearly written article: “lawmakers are negotiating a compromise that could come as early as the first week of July and as late as never.”

Court room for Daniel J. Sullivan hearing at 9:55 am is pretty empty.

This person has gone to great lengths to figure out what Neurolinks is doing with animals. It’s worth listening to, just to get some awareness of what this Musk company is up to and is hiding. This is why the billionaires hate regs. open.substack.com/pub/thedreyd...

François Primeau, a UC Irvine professor, developed mathematical and computational ocean models that helped us understand the ocean's role in global climate. He was killed on his bike by someone driving a car. 🌊

HUGE WIN this week: Senator Murkowski and I led a bipartisan charge to protect critical ocean sensors that help us manage fisheries, predict the weather, and understand climate change.

I don’t doubt this accurately describes GOP plans. Given the successes of Project2025, they have a good chance of pulling this off. All non-GOP folks need to work to thwart this.

“If you and I don’t stand together and fight these radical, crazy people—the socialist-Islamic alliance—today, I can promise you that our children and our grandchildren will have to wear a hijab to go to school,” then party chair Abraham George said in his opening remarks.“

#Alaskans, how much of this report is relevant here?

Anyone?

Government should be about service, not making money. We form societies to meet our needs economically, not so rich venture capitalists can make a buck off us while providing very little, if anything. Sure, capitalism has a place… that place is not in government service.

“Solari became a countercultural icon for disaffected Argentines coming of age as their country transitioned from a bloody military dictatorship to a democracy characterized by newfound freedoms but also instability and hyperinflation in the 1980s.” www.billboard.com/music/latin/...

Opened a new toothpaste today and got this positive message. Despite my cynicism, I’ll believe someone with a good heart is responsible.

Trump can repeatedly bomb the hell out of Iran and they still won’t back down, while Republicans in Congress spend every day terrified that they might draw a mean Truth Social post if they step out of line from Dear Leader’s whims and wishes.

His medical reports have all been lies or missing. We’ve never heard a peep from the Pennsylvania “assassination“ doctors.

I see it this way too. And I lived thru the 50s, 60s etc thru to today. I’d add that until Trump, women and POC got more access to education, jobs, elections, but the wealth gap exploded. And now the white, rich guys are pulling it all back.

The ratio of sun to #clouds is improving, though clouds are still way ahead. Goose Lake.

Lots of dramatic #clouds in Anchorage. #dailyphoto

Sign at US Post Office today. Couldn’t find anything relevant at USPS.com. “related to transportation”. Seems it might be related to elections too.

Wow. Such a giant injustice for people who got cars towed by predatory tow trucks. And the scheme was basically invisible until 2 reporters with ProPublica help exposed the scheme. Still the victims should have some recourse.

Makes good points 1. Doesn’t matter how much you support Trump, cross him once and the support is forgotten. 2. Pols who make one or two good votes aren’t necessarily allies. I’d add that Alaska’s open primaries have given Murkowski more freedom than most GOP have.

The sun is shining and the birch leaves are green. It’s even in the 50s, though the wind is blowing. If you haven’t been in Alaska for the last few months, you won’t appreciate this.

Funeral this afternoon 4-6pm for Lake Otis Elementary School which Anchorage School Board voted to close and give to the German immersion program. Alumni, parents, students, the community invited.

Denali was out of the clouds Saturday morning at Denali National Park.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Everyone should know this in detail and follow the author‘s letter writing suggestions. When Robert’s weaseled about an enforceable code of ethics, we thought it was to protect Thomas. But it was to protect Roberts and a string of 5-4 landmark court decisions.

“I was pissed that lawmakers—mostly men—had the ability to legislate on women’s access to healthcare. People who never have to experience a pregnancy and would never have to decide whether I could risk letting this pregnancy kill me or survive, based on a simple luck of the draw.“

Alaskans: veto override tomorrow on election reform SB 64. Need 40 votes. Was passed by 40 votes. A few are wavering. See attached. Email them tonight/call tomorrow am to vote to override. akleg.gov/docs/akleg-l...

The students were articulate, but once Baldwin spoke it was clear he took it up three or four levels. Wonder how the students there were affected. Did they change how they thought and acted?

Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm because it was seen as a "conflict of interest". Yeah, just sayin.

“poetry trained me to notice what’s not being said”

This woman, who also represented three J6 defendants and well as Roy Moore in one of his defamation suits, is one of the people they hired to be an immigration judge; a person who will have to decide on gender-based violence cases.

Another article on damming the Being Sea. “Well there’s geoengineering; and then there’s geoshitfuckery; this may well fall into the latter category.”

Take a look at the science feed now and then to clear your head from the politics. Watch the videos in this post- an orangutan, then a gibbon cross the road via the rope bridge.

New Acting Sec of Navy: “What we need is alpha males and alpha females who are going to rip out their own guts, eat them and ask for seconds. Those are the young men and women that are going to win wars.” Put that on navy recruiting posters immediately.

This is a war based on lies

I’ve long assumed that Samuel Alito was the worst Supreme Court Justice in recent history. But I’ve come to revise my view in light of recent comments made by one judge in particular. Let me explain... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-worst-justice-in-modern-supreme
