100%. Siding with a billionaire who *lives in Texas* (& now plans to gallivant around to extract from Venezuela, which could suppress oil prices & further damage AK's economy) > all the Alaskans who need basic services like schools, roads, water treatment, childcare, SNAP, etc. is unforgivable.

As #akleg head to session, plz make sure they hear from their constituents that closing the S corp loophole & taxing Hillcorp the same way we tax Exxon & Conoco is 1 of your major priorities bc 1.) We need the revenue, & 2.) It's not fair that Hildebrand pockets all that & now is off to Venezuela.

Former election chiefs warned the U.S. Supreme Court that ending mail ballot grace periods would create a confusing and chaotic election system that risks disenfranchising voters and undermining confidence just months before the 2026 midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Still here wondering when the Epstein files will be released in full. No amount of nation grabbing and citizen shooting is going to make us forget that a pedophile is running this country with the full support of the Republican Party who seems willing to do literally ANYTHING to cover this up

I had not heard about Keith Porter’s murder until after the killing this week. May we elevate and rally around all of the ICE murders & catalyze this into sustained action.

Hey Anchorage, There’s a protest planned at 12:30 today at the DHS building at 10th and Gambell today (1/9)

hntrbrk.com/pbmgpo/ We have got to get rid of this billionaire grifting racket called Public Benefits Managers. PBM's are a huge racket, and they put little pharmacies out of business and screw individual policy holders. In Alaska, Dunleavy’s corporate crony PBM is Optum. We need a nonprofit PBM NOW

@stayinalive2.bsky.social Hi- Saw your article/post on X about PBMs but can’t find it in your feed here - am I missing something? Would be great to be able to repost and share here on BlueSky :-) Tks

Good idea - he is such a wingnut carpetbagger

It’s Jan 2026 & a lot of Americans are w/o health coverage or can barely afford it. Alaska has the highest rates in the country. We have to start filming these stories ASAP so we started today but we need a few more to start w/ ➡️ pitch to funders ➡️ tell this story comprehensively. Have a story?

This is nothing but incitement to violence and terrorism and lawless destruction of lives. How is it protected to call for a governor’s murder by the state?

At 10 am on ⁦‪@MSNOWNews,‬⁩ I’ll discuss Smith transcript. He debunked the claim that Trump was just contesting an election like other presidents. Trump knowingly engaged in fraud and took steps to obstruct the lawful transfer of presidential power. www.ms.now/news/jack-sm...

www.ms.now/news/jack-sm... “Smith also said he expected further attacks from the president, and that he would not be surprised if the DOJ indicts him. “I am eyes wide open that this President will seek retribution against me if he can,” Smith said. “I know that.”” Patriot, hero, man among men, bada

Holy fuck! Showing ZERO fear of retribution from a vengeance-obsessed TRAITOR who attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election, usurp the constitution, and overthrow the U.S. government, Jack Smith, with ZERO fucks left to give is what a badass American hero looks like.

In case you were wondering, Jack Smith's testimony was the *opposite* of "total exoneration."
