“Let Republicans have the literal blood of American citizens on their hands—and make that the central issue of the shutdown. Otherwise, enjoy having your health care subsidy debate in the gulags these people would happily send us all to. I hear that poll-tests great.”

I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.

How about this: We don't pay members of Congress when they cannot keep the government functioning?

Argentina got our healthcare plan before we did.

Hmmm... weird.

How many voters-even Republicans-wanted this guy as defacto president?

If you showed this tweet to James Madison, he would be like, "yes, this is why I wrote the 2nd Amendment"

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

Stephen Miller and Russell Vought are running this country.

Who is really in charge of the US? Clearly not the old & frail figurehead they drag out to sign things.

Nothing says Make America Great Again like giving $20 billion to bail out Argentina while farmers here at home suffer.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940. The money is going to be used *against* you.

Are you paying attention yet? These are the backroom deals being made by the felon of the US at the expense of we, the people. The felon is not now, nor has he ever been, for the American people. He cares only about himself and who he can use to enrich himself on our dime. #ImpeachTheFelon

Final sunrise for September 2025. #AlaskaSky

They are randomly blowing up boats. They don't know who the people on these boats are (probably just unlucky fishermen). They expect us to simply take their word that they are blowing up drug dealers. It's all government propaganda.

Talking about 2028 is dangerously naive; the danger is now. Trump is directing the military and justice department to go to "war" on US cities and his enemies, from TV hosts to former FBI directors. Keeping the 2026 midterms fair may be the last stand. My latest: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Not only should the Dems refuse to cave on the shutdown; they should announce they won’t vote for a budget until: (a) the military is withdrawn from every American city where it’s been deployed; (b) the budget forbids the use of any funds for that purpose; AND (c) the healthcare demand already made.

This is madness.

This only happens to you once

Autumn in Alaska-a maple tree turns red. My husband started a flat of maple trees 25 years ago with seeds from the big maple tree that grows outside the Palmer Visitor Center. #AlaskaSky

Using an emergency declaration, Trump’s timber production executive order would ease environmental protections so as to greatly expand logging in the national forests. A report from our friends at @highcountrynews.org:

This is terrifying. Hegseth is summoning all flag officers from around the globe to Quantico the night before republicans shut down the government. Is this a final purge of dissidents? Are they going to use a government shutdown as pretext for massive domestic military mobilization?

1000 people missing‼️ what is going on?

I hope the majority realizes you can't win over the right wing with civility or the old ways. Doesn't work. Its a dangerous, violent, hypocritical cult without shame. They want power by any illegal means necessary. Choose your fighters accordingly. The current Dem leadership ain't it.

Cleta Mitchell thinks President Donald Trump may declare a national emergency to allow him to take control of national elections. Her comments will add to growing concern that Trump is plotting a way to use his power over the military and federal law enforcement to rig next year’s vote.

Cider pressing day! Huge thanks to Alaska Pioneer Fruit Growers Assn and MidValley Greenhouse for organizing and hosting the pressing. We apple growers appreciate all your hard work!! #AlaskaSky

This is unacceptable.

#AlaskaSky Nick Begich has proposed a bill to overturn the federal management plan for 13 million acres across NW Alaska.

It’s a perfect fall day here in SouthCentral. The dahlias are gorgeous and the autumn garden is still lovely. 38 degrees here this morning-friends closer to Hatcher Pass had a frost last night. I’ll be sad (as always) to see the garden go. #AlaskaSky

From greenhouse to sauce to pantry. 30 quarts canned. This is all we need for the winter. I’ve gifted the rest of the tomatoes still ripening to my friends. #AlaskaSky #HomegrownTomatoes

Any entomologists here? This guy was hanging out on a snapdragon today and I wondered if he might turn into a butterfly.

It is starting now. None of these sycophants can, or has the guts, to explain the legal implications of these actions to the orange man child in the Oval Office. They simply will obey his dumb orders and destroy this society.

An Alaskan pumpkin patch. Three nice pumpkins from three planted pumpkin vines. No frost forecast here till the end of September so they can just hang out in our fall garden and begin to turn orange. #AlaskaSky

Free speech advocates are sounding the alarm about a bill in the US House of Representatives that they fear could allow Secretary of State Marco Rubio to strip US citizens of their passports based purely on political speech. www.commondreams.org/news/rubio-t...

How much longer are we, the people going to tolerate a government that is actively working against us?

The White House Press Secretary, the official spokesperson for the Trump administration, told reporters in an official briefing that the president wants to invade "every Democrat-run city" with troops. Any media still pretending that this is about "crime" is making a conscious choice to lie to you.

Of all the unqualified extremists Donald Trump has appointed to his cabinet, RFK Jr., as of now, poses the most direct threat to the nation. Impeach him now, writes @davidcorn.bsky.social. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

There is a very real prospect that President Trump could lose the midterms. It’s ahead of this threat of defeat that he and his allies are working overtime to sway the elections before a single vote is cast. @ariberman.bsky.social reports on the unprecedented moves.
