Here’s a platform for Alaska: - Food first - An economy of care - The renewal of democracy #Alaskasky #akleg

“The state of Alaska sent warning letters Monday to four major insurance firms, saying their climate-related policies may violate state insurance and consumer-protection laws by creating an uneven playing field for energy projects.” This is a move by Texas carpetbagger 4th appointed AG Cox

160 years ago, the 13th Amendment was ratified, ending slavery. But that amendment came with a sinister loophole: a Slavery Clause that allowed for slavery “as punishment for crime.” We need to pass @repnikema.bsky.social’s and my Abolition Amendment to #EndTheException once and for all!

What if Alaska was structured around caring for nature and caring for people instead of converting all of that into capital assets for personal/ shareholder enrichment? Where are those policies?

I’m disgusted Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan supported this dolt. Jeffery Hildebrand “paid” Trump for his wife to be Ambassador to Costa Rica. Hildebrand pays for other “favors” in Washington and Alaska. If he can pay for an Ambassadorship for his wife he can pay taxes in Alaska. #akleg

One Afghan immigrant shoots two National Guard members, MAGA insists that all immigration from "Third World" (Read: Brown countries) is immediately and permanently halted. Young white American males gun down dozens of school children each year, MAGA insists we make it easier for them to get guns.

The US is a deeply sick society that treats the military industrial complex like a jobs program.

The only way Alaska rids itself of this garbage is to elect a Democrat and an Alaskan. We need to send the carpetbagger Republicans packing. #akelect #akleg

This is a nightmare, with the possibility of screwing over Alaskans until the pipeline melts into the earth. Generations will be harmed if this neo-colonialist fantasy is successful. #alaskasky

The Endangered Species Act has saved thousands of animals and plants from threats like poaching, habitat loss, and pollution. In total, it has prevented the extinction of 99% of the species it has protected. Now, Trump has weakened or eliminated key provisions of the bedrock environmental law.

Hey Juneau, See Stories is hosting a film fest and fundraiser at Gold Town on Dec 6! Watch some short films made by students across the state and support this fab org that last year received a Gov’s Award for Art and Humanities. #AlaskaSky seestories-bloom.kindful.com/e/seestories...

Here’s an idea: a cadre of Alaska civilians follow them to DC to remind them of who they are supposed to defend and bear witness to what they do.

Of course USCG is the first branch to downgrade the offense of racist symbols. It is in DHS, which is the vanguard department of white supremacy.

‘Pay-to-play schemes. Protection rackets. Extortion. Corruption. Self-enrichment. Graft. Grift. Brutality. Roaming bands of thugs terrorising communities. Immunity for criminal behavior coupled with prosecutions of whistleblowers. This is how a crime syndicate operates—not a constitutional republic’

Your daily reminder that the fossil fuel industry is propped up by billions of dollars in U.S. government subsidies and a multimillion dollar campaign to spread climate disinformation. 💵

Folks, I fear the only way to save the planet is to completely dismantle our concept of wealth. We invented money, and all it got us is shareholders and billionaires. We need a new system.

The @us.theguardian.com has a number of open positions, including two reporter roles focusing on organizing and movement building. Jobs are 12 month contract, full-time, union, flexible location workwithus.theguardian.com/job-search/e... workwithus.theguardian.com/job-search/e...

You will never be a billionaire, but you will be forced, every day, for the rest of your life, to make them richer.

these guys just love doing this. nothing like 8 storm troopers beating the absolute shit out of a defenseless old person www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The GOP is using the shutdown to literally make people choose between starving and losing their healthcare. That’s how sadistic this is and what the age of fascism is going to look like unless we defeat it.

An important piece of reporting on NANA/ Akima facilitating and profiting from what amounts to ethnic cleansing in the USA. #Alaskasky alaskapublic.org/news/politic...

Al Gore at the Norges Bank climate conference just now: ”The fossil fuel industry is significantly more effective at capturing politicians than capturing emissions“

This growing grassroots democracy movement must not be contained or consigned to the Dems. Our best hope for the long-term work of toppling oligarchy must be in continuous, diverse and unruly formations.

I'd go one further: the Democrats should condition budgets on the passage of an anti-SLAPP law, similar to ones in California and New York, that would allow for shakedown lawsuits like Trump's to be expeditiously dismissed and for defendants to recover lawyers fees + damages.

These are internally-displaced people. Climate refugees. Alaska, we need a plan for hosting and housing these families now while also planning for these waves of displacement being a permanent condition. One that we are ALL vulnerable to. #AlaskaSky www.kyuk.org/public-safet...

Israel is reportedly forcing 154 Palestinians freed from Israeli prisons as part of the ceasefire deal into exile and deporting them to an unknown country. Experts say the move is a violation of international law.

Read it and weep For the hope of growth, the Gov plan to take away your rights to object and trash the environment by ‘Stop councils rejecting planning permissions, tackle blockers in the court, alongside plans to accelerate reservoirs, windfarms and large housing scheme’ www.gov.uk/government/n...

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

THREAD. Did you know that at about 1/3 of all stranger homicides in the U.S. are perpetrated by police? But there's something hidden here that is important to understand in this authoritarian moment.

What say you, Alaska? Shall we become ungovernable through the mass sharing of subsistence foods? #Alaskasky

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

For the ruling class, "property" is more important than justice and human rights. From that perspective, it makes sense that they they think robots and AI are more important than real people. They care far more about the machines in their factories being sabotaged than people being murdered.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I also appreciate how the tv costs prove another maxim about the US: luxuries are cheap and essentials are unaffordable.

United States immigration authorities are moving to dramatically expand their social media surveillance, with plans to hire nearly 30 contractors to sift through posts, photos, and messages to target people for deportation.

Also we must start thinking of transitional justice.

I talked with @mayaschenwar.bsky.social and @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social about immigration raids and the violent repression of protesters in Chicago, the administration’s war on free speech and the organized left, and lessons from our upcoming book, Read This When Things Fall Apart.

As long as the far right shapes public opinion, and mainstream parties follow public opinion, the far right dominates politics, whether in government or not.

“A spokesman for Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy said the state has funding to pay SNAP food benefits through October but only enough money to cover the first week of the month for WIC, the nutrition benefit for Women, Infants and Children.”

For over a decade a grassroots effort has prevented the development of a massive goldmine in the Sperrins of Northern Ireland. Take a listen to learn their strategies of resistance, from encampments, to dancing, to running for office, to divestment campaigns #Alaskasky

Unmask ICE. We now can prove the masks are specifically to shield from accountability— do you think the guy who was recently put on leave for tackling a woman would have been if masked? Nope.

Fascism is extremism. Anti-fascism is not. We’re living in a period of reality inversion and moral inversion.

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

It’s going to take much more than cancelling a couple of subscriptions to topple fascism, but it is something.

I want to be clear about what I'm saying here. I'm not denying the danger. I'm not denying the threat. I AM saying that we live in a geographically huge country where the vast majority oppose this administration. They don't have the power to work on that scale. Tho they want us to believe they do
