Not Like US really sums it up. That was my takeaway from being at @nickbegich.bsky.social 's ill-fated town hall: even in a place as politically young as Alaska it's an entrenched dynasty of entitled failsons

At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

Fervently believe Ds should embrace a "Medicaid for All" approach that allows anyone to buy into their state Medicaid. Everyone gets universal basic coverage. Use ACA exchanges for supplemental coverage. Employers can offer coverage of the exchanges.

Around 45 people stood up in the small town of Healy, Alaska. 💙✌️

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Let's hear it for the protester who remembered Shut The Fuck Up Friday: "Once in custody, Korol declined to waive her Miranda rights and speak with any federal officers before she had a lawyer." www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

If this is how they treat a famous blonde white woman, how are they treating unknown Palestinians?

who could have imagined that liberals would get beyond visual range air combat in the national divorce

I think if you're GWAR, having Libs of TikTok introduce you to her entire dingbat audience is probably the best thing that could possibly happen

I suspect we are, probably for our own mental health, underestimating the degree to which the Trump administration is dominated by the worst swingers imaginable

Community: We want a 24/7 urgent care with imaging, a pharmacy, and at home visitation Provider: We are closing. www.newsminer.com/news/local_n...?

We all know this is the root cause of the panic, right?

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

If you're not into fitness I imagine board games would do it too! Get comfortable with the idea of competition.

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely

Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

i genuinely hate that people are now learning what groypers are. decent people should not be stained with this information

That picture of Tyler Robinson in a Trump shirt is fake. This is the original image. Come on y'all, we don't need to do this.

The shooting of Charlie Kirk was both morally wrong and a strategic setback for human rights, democracy, and anti-fascism. When people fear violence they turn to totalitarianism for a false sense of security, and the side that idealizes violence will always have an advantage in violent times. 1/

if you have a billion dollars you should be legally designated a dragon and any human can adventure against you

It’s not simply important to denounce political violence because it looks bad not to. It’s the right thing to do on the merits. Even more specifically to this moment it’s important because the forces of fascism are inherently better at political violence than the forces of civic democracy.

here’s a version where the POV is blacked out whenever the driver takes their eyes off the road

Happy Labor Day.

WW2 started on Sept 1, 1939, with Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland. Two weeks later, the USSR invaded from the east. Hitler and Stalin launched the war together — both were aggressors.

I’ve been unfocused & a bit in freeze mode lately in terms of <gestures broadly around> but oh, the little local protest group has given me so much solace throughout. Even on days I can’t join I’ve felt better just reading the chat. People are indeed doing things, all the time.

@rickirobin.bsky.social is too modest. There was a whole team behind this effort and she was one of them. The video only shows the people who were able to show up on a weekday afternoon. bsky.app/profile/rick...

Katharine Macgregor, Trump’s deputy secretary of the Interior visited Denali AK this week, and I had some words for her. May the stink of her association with this admin never wash off. No peace and quiet for fascists, quislings or collaborators.

- president says he will be a dictator to lower crime - president says he will run for a third term/stay in office - party of president is making changes to electoral maps mid-cycle to confer partisan advantage in next election - taxpayer money is being directed to partisan corporate allies

- white house attacks free press while favoring aligned sources - gov is scapegoating minorities and deploying militarized police domestically, during peacetime - vp/pres threatening jailtime for political opponents, for no apparent crime - purges of all gov employees who are not committed partisans

over the last week, several political scientists i trust have declared trump a dictator and that america is not a full functioning democracy anymore. see here: goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/p/where-we-a... donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-author... i think making a list clarifies this:

#Alaska stands with #Ukraine. #Anchorage unfurling the world's largest Ukrainian flag during the Trump-Putin Summit. #slavaukraini

PSL is also very untrustworthy on Putin/Russia/Ukraine/Syria specifically. I’m normally all for putting differences aside but that’s the primary issue this time around, and I can’t help noticing that the flyer doesn’t mention it

Oh so it does have phd level intelligence

I'd argue if you were cis and wanted to cheat at sports, doping would be a HELL OF A LOT easier way to do it than falsifying a transition.

A third grown ass man has called Trump "daddy" in public

BREAKING: Shooting suspect Vance Boelter was arrested by authorities late Sunday evening in Sibley County, according to a high-ranking state official.

Palmer, Alaska. No kings #msup 07/24/2025

lmaoo never gets old

Let’s not mince words on exactly what the MAGA movement is.

Kodiak, Alaska #NoKings #June14 #Rally 👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿 @50501movement.bsky.social @youranoncentral.bsky.social @altnps.bsky.social @indivisible.org @maddow.msnbc.com

💥 350 at the rally. 40 in the parade. 200 flags handed to kids. We sang God Bless America till our voices cracked—and the crowd sang back. Palmer showed up. And we’re just getting started. #NoKings #MSU4P

Juneau #nokings estimated a 1600-1900 turnout which is pretty huge for our 30K city.

Two nights ago on the phone I told my dad "what if these stupid motherfuckers are dumb enough to play 'Fortunate Son' on Saturday?"

Video from the Gustavus Alaska No Kings! "Tank Parade" on June 14, 2025. 115 people showed up to protest the Trump regime! #NoKings #Gustavus #Alaska #Protest #Resist #June14 @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisible.org @youranoncentral.bsky.social @altnps.bsky.social @shanahstone.bsky.social
