Seeing as @general-ben.bsky.social is trending over on the other place, how about a story?

IMPENDING SHUTDOWN! "Of course, the Medicaid cuts don't hit until 2027. That's not a coincidence. They rigged the fuse to blow after the midterms, so they can torch your healthcare, then blame the ashes on Democrats." ~AllenAnalysis/BTC ➡️ Save the Affordable Care Act & Remove SSA Contribution Cap!

#UglyDogs small update from BraverMountain

🤣🤣☠️🤣🤣☠️🤣🤣

With the federal government’s outsized influence in Alaska, impacts from a shutdown could be acute.

Because of course they do.

I have thoughts on this, and have for a long time. Countering like we do with logic and reason gives their lies merit. Countering with “you absolute fucknuts are off you dumbass rocker,” is true, and takes little effort. Just go ahead and laugh at them when they simmer and whine. They do it anyway.

There were other officers present that clearly wanted to intervening. I wish they would have found the balls. Uniformed court of some kind. I don’t know shit about that area, but they were big men in dorky uniforms who knew how to carry themselves. I know couldn’t watch that without bringing pain.

Shame on Capenter Media for caving to political pressure and not standing up for a free, independent press in Alaska, and shame on AK State Rep. Sarah Vance for targeting the Homer News with false accusations and misinformation.

Mine hunters.

Like this cool dude www.npr.org/2022/01/11/1...

Well that is a damn shame.

🤯What then is the point of Congress?🤯

Um what

Jeff King wants the 1,000-mile race across Alaska to change. He says his ideas will help more mushers finish the race, prevent dog deaths and lower the burden on Iditarod staff.

This is MAGA Rep. Sarah Vance taking on the mantle of FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, successfully threatening Homer News in the name of Charlie Kirk and the 1st Amendment.

So weird!

Vance is reprehensible in so many ways. I wish she would be voted out of office, but she is pretty aligned with her constituents though I'm sure there are a few that don't support her.

Sadly, Representative is a word with meaning. Listen to “conservative media” they have been consuming for generations now. It has been pure hate and violence against anything decent. We are now honoring these hate mongers because they have replaced our government with them.

A fast-moving fire at a condominium complex in the Sand Lake neighborhood displaced dozens of residents but resulted in no reports of injury, the Anchorage Fire Department said.

Better Fairbanks than Anchorage!

Dial back demands to help working class Americans get health care and food assistance when Republicans want to just give Trump whatever he wants and screw the people? Nope. It’s a Trump Shutdown.

Why would you publish this garbage propaganda as though it's the truth, when you know that the Republicans control the whole government, and they don't need even a single Democratic vote to avoid a shutdown?

We aren’t defending Jim Comey. We are defending the rule of law. Without the rule of law, the worst people in society become president after raping women and children and then steal and kill anything they can. Society comes to serve their whims. The rule book of law needs to be reestablished now.

8/ If you have tips about new ICE enforcement tactics in courts, my colleagues and I want to hear from you. Reach out to me on Signal (tilleckert.90) or via propublica.org/tips.

If you have already seen the one video from NY immigration courthouse today, this angle is even more horrific.

Even if you think that we need a 100K fee for H1-B visas (which for the record is absurd and bad) or 100% tariffs on imported medicines (also absurd and very bad) the idea that you would roll out these policies with less that a week’s notice is just pure incompetence. It’s SO BANANAS.

He has returned. (Don’t ask about his arm he doesn’t want to talk about his arm)

There is so much in the news cycle these days that the complete dismantling of the Forest Service -- so *our* forests can be auctioned off to Big TImber -- is unfortunately getting little air play. But if this happens, US landscapes may be almost unrecognizable in a decade, and never coming back. 🌍

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

Love this!

Evening moose.

Alaska’s local journalism needs our support. Opponents of 🇺🇸 democracy know that our boots-on-the-ground reporters are the most trusted news sources, so they work overtime to discredit them. Support the 1st amendment & subscribe to @Homer_News: www.homernews.com/subscribe/ #akleg

We wouldn't have made it to Iditarod without Sarah 💙 here's to many more mushes to come!

I really wish I could get people, particularly legislators, to stop saying healthCARE when what they're actually referring to is health INSURANCE. America hasn't really done anything at all to address the cost of healthCARE... just the cost of the health INSURANCE premiums, copays, etc.

In Aotearoa New Zealand, research grants don’t just fund research. They also pay for buildings, admin, IT, and even profit margins. That’s because institutions rely heavily on indirect cost recovery – aka “overheads” – to stay afloat 🧪🧵

got some bad news for anyone who voted for Trump because he promised to bring down prices www.ft.com/content/dd6d...

Moment of silence at the New Yorkers Against ICE march. Never saw a moment of silence in the middle of a march. Deeply moving. So many people have been hurt by this administration. Abolish ICE.

these people are giant fucking dorks and they should be mocked relentlessly for being giant fucking dorks

“Don’t make me tap the sign.”

Patel is basically admitting on camera that the FBI no longer adheres to the Attorney General Guidelines, which prohibits investigating U.S. persons based solely on First Amendment activity (including membership in a group).
