10/10 no notes. Perfect bumper sticker.

Let’s go, democracy. (And recycling! These are all signs pulled from my sign graveyard.) Ashley Carrick, AK HD 35 Mary Peltola, US senate AK No on 2 (the old sign)—support RCV (again) Nick LaJiness, FNSB borough assembly Scott Crass @scottcrass.bsky.social , FNSB borough assembly

We identified 17 of the 27 'grievances' in the Declaration of Independence with a contemporary analog. We then annotated those 17 grievances with quotes from federal judges across 52 court cases involving the Trump administration. The judges in their words (many referencing the Declaration itself)

Why i decided to run for office in a nutshell.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

Alaskan dog owners "Lance Mackey sold me this dog for fifty bucks, I think its a coyote."

This is great news for the University. Someone with smarts and heart. A great pick.

Our local assembly meetings can be wild. No contest on 10 liquor / alcohol licenses. Approve 17.4 million bid award to build the animal shelter It's Alaskaland now. Pickleball. Rezone for residential fails! Wild night all around, thank you everyone, but especially staff.

While they were screeching about environmental groups, it also likely gets into ANY transportation and local transportation planning money that could be used to raise skepticism about the major mining infrastructure projects (think everything around the Manh Choh Mine in Fairbanks).

May monthly outlook just dropped.

Fairbanks legend Linden Staciokas wrote her own obituary: “I wish to be cremated and the ashes put in a compost heap, in the hope that someday I will, indeed, be pushing up daisies. If [my husband] does insist on a service, I hope there are plenty of accordions playing polkas.” RIP Linda

JKT just earned my vote. Anyone smart enough to have a taco truck during FF might be able to finally fix subsistence! #akleg

"Surely Minnesotans won't fight back," racists in 1863 and 2026

Mamdani is now Irish. I don't make the rules.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying… “Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

Applications are open for the Alaska Fellows Program, a fall-to-spring residential fellowship that pairs talented young people with professional mentors. Anyone know a post-grad looking for an opportunity... Or just more snow and moose in their lives? alaskafellows.org/apply/positi...

This raises serious questions about the judgment of George Rauscher for employing this monster for the last 5 years. We need to be asking hard questions and demanding accountability from people who enable child molesters.

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

Glad to see the folks in Juneau get to work. #akleg

I am calling for a complete and total boycott of the Mercator projection in all news stories about Greenland until every member of the American public has seen this

Fairbanks' ongoing cold snap stats: • 24 straight days low temp ≤ -20F tied for 11th longest • 33 straight days low temp ≤ -15F tied for 4th longest • 19 days low temp ≤-40F most since 1970-71 • 6 days high temp ≤-40F most since 1988-89 #akwx #Climate #Winter2026 @climatologist49.bsky.social

Just want to remind everyone that ICE's jurisdictions stops 100 miles from the border and coast. Minneapolis is 300 miles from the border. "No you can not enter. Let me see a warrant. No warrant? Fuck you!" If they do anyways go silent. Say nothing. Hire a lawyer, you just won the lottery.

Every reaction from any Democrat that stops short of impeachment is utterly disqualifying.

Papa is back! Just a terrific story, and couldn't happen at a better time. Can't wait to hear "TOUCHDOOOOOWN SAN. FRANCISCOOOOOOO!!!!" again <3

Happy New Year to you all! I hope you all in Alaska are hanging in there and you pipes dont freeze and your boat dont sink. 2025 is the new sougherdough high water mark. Don't remember the winter of '25? You're gonna hear about it!

You’ve lost the plot as a presidential administration when Dr. Oz is on stage handwringing about the cost of balls

BREAKING: Federal judge in south Florida has ordered the unsealing of Epstein grand jury materials. The second most-requested Christmas gift, by children of all ages, is release of all of the Epstein files. My elves and I expect the release of the grand jury materials by 12/19, files thereafter.

We have a cabinet level Secretary of State, a diplomatic corps, Special Envoys, and Defense team to do this work. “Son-in-law” is not a government job. Kushner does not represent us.

The headline is not just that Pete Hegseth issued a plainly unlawful order to intentionally slaughter survivors after an initial strike. It is also that senior military officers improperly carried out those orders.

Although the timing and location may seem very coincidental, we are calling this NOT an aftershock of the 2018 Anchorage Earthquake. We are calling it the 2025 magnitude 6.0 Susitna Earthquake. This earthquake took place on the subducting Pacific Plate. We'll follow up as we learn more.

Does anyone remember the Logan act? The only way out of this mess is if a whole hell of a lot of people go to jail.

Oh, shit.

THIS IS SO GOOD

“To be brutally candid, due to the proactive cancellation of this grant, $20 million of hardworking U.S. tax dollars are currently sitting in the U.S. treasury instead of swept into the Kuskokwim River,” EPA press secretary Brigit Hirsch said. Monsters. #akleg

Senator Lyman Hoffman reporting 50% of Kipnuks utility poles are broken in half, and the runway has a crack right in the middle of it.

Three key points: 1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February 2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty 3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Late-stage dementia didn't stop Ronald Reagan.

This is a Hatch act violation

This article in MRAK doubled the amounts spent because the author is either intentionally misrepresenting the facts or doesn't understand the documents they received. 🤷‍♂️

Translation:

So many adults have to fail a child before he ends up 10 years old telling CNN about the mass shooting he lived through this morning

Yeah fuck you JD. The Union negotiated nothing when we beat the Confederacy. The Allies kept killing Nazi's till they surrendered in WW2. There was no negotiation with Japan, either. Ask Yale for your money back because you didn't learn shit there.

Hawaii is having all the fun!

As a person who was big into forums and chat rooms in the 90s, it’s unreal watching ChatGPT ppl develop forum addiction & epistolary limerence & go through vicious-cycle social reinforcement in EXACTLY the same ways, except with a reskinned Eliza app & they’re not being publicly shamed for it enough

Slightly diminish a band: arahantship

Alaska lawmakers override governor’s veto of public school funding, restoring services and teachers, reports James Brooks, @alaska.bsky.social, of @alaskabeacon.com: alaskabeacon.com/2025/08/02/a... #akleg

Senator Tobin has the tiger by the tail. Inefficiencies have been introduced by well-intentioned efforts at oversight. We should hire well trained experts in childhood education and trust them to do their jobs. Reporting requirements should always come with increased funds for administration.
