We are about to lose our only news coverage because of Nick Begich III, Dan Sullivan, and Lisa Murkowski Even our own governor is doing nothing to help Alaska we are finished with the Alaskan Republican Party Vote them all out Do not vote for another Republican for the rest of your lifetime

This week, the House will finally vote to release the Epstein files. This is not a difficult or complicated vote. Every Member of Congress should vote yes, and Trump should immediately sign our bill into law. The victims and the American people deserve the full truth.

Okay, on reflection I am slightly relaxing my rule on "only human-made art". ...Oh, no, I'm still not supporting genAI art, but I *will* be allowing art made by bears

mom i made the Olympic poetry team but they put me off 4 years for an unscheduled volcano

Wow. Cleaning the bathroom is really tiring after pneumonia. I’m going to need to recover from that.

There are 535 people missing from the table. www.npr.org/2025/11/15/n...

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

California’s attorney general asked a federal court for the second time to end Trump’s National Guard deployment in Los Angeles, arguing the administration is “treating the President’s June 7 memo as a blank check” that allows it to deploy troops nationwide without justification.

Peaceful protestor arrested at Broadview ICE by cook county sheriffs for holding an ICE OUT sign on a corner cops decided was not in the designated protest zone. Aka some bullshit.

Military service personnel have been seeking outside legal advice about some of the missions the Trump administration has assigned them. The strikes against alleged drug traffickers and deployments to U.S. cities have sparked a debate over their legality.

If anyone was wondering why flags are flying at half mast…

On Oct. 8, 2025, the AK National Guard got a memo from Major General Ronald Burkett, Director of NG Operations. It requires AK to prepare a Quick Reaction Force of 350 trained in batons, Tasers, & pepper spray to deploy for riot control. As Chair of AK’s Joint Armed Services Comm., I’m concerned.

Standing with striking workers means every location has a picket line in front of it, even if it's not a physical one. Never, ever cross a picket line. Solidarity, always. In Alaska, we love coffee & convenience which means there's no shortage of drive-thrus. Get your coffee elsewhere. #alaskasky

🍅 Boycott Black Friday - protest & food drive on Friday, Nov. 21 8-11am at the Old Steese Walmart entrance. 🛑 Stop giving money to MAGA supporters, support local mutual aid efforts, and build resources and awareness for a general strike. #AkLeg #AlaskaSky #Boycott #BoycottMaga

Talk about robbing the future from a generation.

Here's an obvious, easy, fun move: Every day, Dems should stage a mini-press conference showing video of Karoline Leavitt's latest lies, and then providing the corrections and the truth. It's like solar power--an infinite resource. It needn't be a Congressperson, but an official Dem spokesperson.

Rough day to be any sort of survivor of sexual violence. Solidarity to all of you, please be kind to yourselves

ICE’s facial recognition technology is fueling a surveillance state that targets Black & Brown communities, silences dissent, and chills free speech. I’m demanding ICE stop scanning our faces like barcodes. youtube.com/shorts/XSVTh...

Received my very first direct response to a specific concern email from Begich! It was about the Epstein files. Apply pressure folks, we’ve found a lever! #Alaska

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs. So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract. Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

Dems. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

I really cannot imagine going to all the trouble of getting elected to the Senate only to get there and decide not to stand up for healthcare, or democracy, or people’s ability to afford their lives. If those things aren’t worth fighting for, then truly what is?

Our healthcare should not be dependent on our ability to make a profit for someone else.

Mark Kelly notably declines to endorse Chuck Schumer as the leader of Senate Dems going forward

Dear Senate Dems, Republicans don’t keep their promises…

Bring on the Progressives. Boot out the establishment. I am so sick of them.

Will you vote to remove leadership that authorized this deal (or is too incompetent to corral their members)?

These 8 useless Democratic Senators are all wealthy and have feathered themselves a lovely retirement nest. They don't need to be in these positions anymore. They can amble away into the privileged nothingness that defines their spinelessness and lack of courage. Demand more and better, folks.

The current administration has no respect for the law unless it suits them. They’ve never let a technicality or a sketchy legal interpretation stop them from doing anything else they wanted to do, so if they really cared about the people, they would find a way to feed them. #WeSeeYou #resist

Durbin’s the Dem whip—this WAS orchestrated by D leadership. What a fucking betrayal.

Under Schumer's leadership, eight Democrats (Cortez Masto, Durbin, Fetterman, Hassan, Kaine, King, Rosen, & Shaheen) joined the Republicans in moving forward a bill to reopen the government without ACA subsidies—Dems' stated key aim—or any other real concessions from the status before the shutdown.

it was Tuesday—this past Tuesday. Even goldfish have longer memories. That means they didn’t listen to Tuesday. We need to get LOUDER.

And this is why I’m registered as an independent.

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

The correct headline here is "Trump administration begs courts to let him keep starving children and elders"

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

To me among the most infuriating parts about the healthcare debate and ACA credits is this would not be an issue if we were like every developed country on Earth and GUARANTEED HEALTHCARE AS A HUMAN RIGHT. We'd pay half per capita what we're paying now, have more coverage, & longer life expectancy.

Someone needs to edit the "List of Caves in the U.S." Wikipedia entry to add Senate Democrats. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Alaska will have an increase of 346%

I’m leaving this post up for transparency’s sake, but I just got some clarification on the federal RIF reinstatement/moratorium. It only stops them from re-firing people until January of 2026 - I thought it was also a year. So yeah, there’s not much of a win here. Apologies for the misread.
