Tonight in Anchorage : perhaps 200 people? #reneegood

The Vice President of the United States is a fascist.

RIP Rene Good, Anchorage, AK, 01/11/26

"Have they no conscience? Or barring that, no concern for their own reputation? Or, hell, forget the higher faculties altogether—can’t they even manage a superstitious lizard-brain revulsion against slandering the dead?" Well, no.

Don't remain silent in the face of injustice. Stand with us Loussac Library, Sunday @ 5 PM. #AlaskansTakeAStand RSVP: https://www.mobilize.us/standupalaska/event/883561/#AlaskansTakeAStand

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

What I saw in the killing of Renee Nicole Good was reprehensible. She committed no crime. When the federal government can take a life without remorse, something is fundamentally wrong. I believe in protecting our citizens. And I believe in safeguarding those who come here for a better life. 1/2

Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

Long day in the clinic There is: So. Much. Flu. 2 patients admitted to the hospital: one with respiratory arrest Get vaccinated folks. Get your friends & family vaccinated Bc vaccines work: to prevent (not every flu) but hospitalization and death And yes, wash you hands, mask in crowd #alaskasky

The President of the United States is a criminal. Thank you for your service, Jack Smith.

OMG, if you liked Nothing to Envy, You've got to read this one: bookshop.org/p/books/daug...

Yes re Nothing to Envy- & do read Demick’s latest Daughters of the Bamboo Grove

Yes, I talk with these folks most days. Some know what’s coming & some have no idea. Some are already cutting back their health care

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

Comfort & Joy: the 1984 Scottish one

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

WOW! AN HONOR! — GCN

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

Hepatitis B, once rampant in Indigenous villages, has been brought under control in Alaska, but a CDC advisory committee voted to drop the vaccine recommendation for newborns. via @alaskabeacon.com

Reminder that Resistbot is a VERY easy way to get on the record with your legislators about an issue. No cost to send emails through the bot!

Bash: "Do you believe if there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors that it constitutes a war crime?" Mark Kelly: "It seems to." Bash: "If you received that order, would you have carried it out?" Mark Kelly: "No…Going after survivors in the water is unlawful."

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Stephen Miller’s Wife @katiemiller : “Can you cite the statute that makes the boat bombings illegal?” @bakarisellers.bsky.social : “The due process clause in the constitution.”

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s. This is the power of vaccines. The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer. Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Seeing a lack of Alaskans posting about the earthquake on my X (Twitter) feed lets me know that site is washed.

Anchorage status after the M6.0 earthquake.

To make you really thankful!

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program. And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars. Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

Going to steal this for the next time I have a student or resident with me at the hospital #MedSky

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Another reason RFK jr should resign

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

Jamal Khashoggi's widow, Hanan Elatr Khashoggi: "Try as much as you can to save democracy and freedom of the press and speech in America. Do not be a copy of a Middle East dictatorship. We look to you as a role model of Western civilization—please maintain it."

“Small independent companies” mean S corporations who will never pay taxes to Alaska. They love it and Alaska is broke. Both Matt Claman and Click Bishop have opposed changing the S corporation tax rule. That’s terrible for Alaska. #akleg #akelect

Crypto is the preferred currency of drug dealers. Under Trump, oversight & enforcement have vanished, surrendering the war on drugs & leading to more fentanyl in Anchorage.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses, as hate symbols. The fuck? wapo.st/3Mbd9a6

JD Vance should try living in a typical home of an undocumented farmworker or car wash attendant and see how long he lasts.

PACKED fundraiser last night (over sixty people) for Matt Schultz, running for Congress in #alaska Smart, eloquent, cares deeply about people- and affordability, healthcare, & housing. #akleg
