Thank you to the #anchorageassembly members who voted to add the educational tax levy to the April municipal ballot. If approved by voters, it could offset a $89 million deficit by about $11.8 million. #education #anchorageschooldistrict

Great opinion piece from @rebeccabraun.bsky.social last week about #akleg and SB113 vetoed by Dunleavy last year. Close a loophole in corporate income tax for $65 million annually! #alaskasky #alaska Opinion: Legislators have 5 days to clock an easy win www.adn.com/opinions/202...

Hey, Great Alaska Schools! Do you have a presence here? If not, we invite you to join us! #alaskasky #education

Relieved to see this compromise brought forward. I support it but hear a lot of negativity from colleagues. Really curious what Tier 3 educators think of it. Will they support it? Does it make sense for them to stay in education for this kind of compensation? #anchorageschooldistrict #education

When LEAVING the US. We are in fully in the "your papers, please" mode of fascism.

Agent EZ-17 of the special BorTac unit of Border Patrol has consistently been shooting protesters in the head and face with chemical irritants. This agent should be removed from the Border Patrol. This kind of brutality has no place on our streets. #minneapolis #borderpatrol

As AOC so clearly pointed out: "I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face."

It's time to show our power! On the 1-yr mark of Trump's 2nd term (Jan 20) let's walk out together to oppose a racist, anti-worker program. Then, we WALK IN to hold our congressional delegation accountable. Meet us at 510 L Street at 2 pm. WE are the priority! #StandUPAlaska

Nasra Ahmed, a U.S. citizen raised in St. Paul, recounts the encounter with a dozen ICE agents that led to two days at the Sherburne County Jail. She was taken for an MRI in arm and leg restraints, and then released Friday night without charges:

Thank you, Representative Gray, for this statement. I would like to hear from military leaders about what they anticipate any deployment to Minnesota would look like. Our political leaders at all levels need to be taking action to protect democracy. #alaskasky #military #alaska #minneapolis #akleg

Alaskans: tomorrow Monday MLK Day Jan 19 there are free legal services events in Anchorage, Bethel, Fairbanks & Juneau. Attorneys are providing free, confidential legal help. See event info below 👇

I strongly oppose sending active duty military into any US community. As a former military spouse I recognize the deep sacrifices of our soldiers and their families. That sacred trust is for defense of our country. Not policing our own citizens. #alaskasky #usarmy #democracy #usmilitary #minneapolis

Tomorrow! ICE Know Your Rights Training with the local NLG chapter. 1p at First Presbyterian on 10th Ave in Anchorage. We'll be there with zines on mutual aid, affinity groups, community self defense, emergency preparation, & more. #alaskasky

Talk to your voting age people about this.

So glad not to have to go anywhere today! Good luck to those heading to the Besh Cup from Anchorage! Be safe y’all. #skiiers #beshcup2026

The Anchorage School District announced that all schools will be closed Friday due to freezing rain, icy roads and high winds. "All information indicates that driving in the morning hours and throughout the school day will be unsafe," it said.

Stay safe everyone! I’ve seen some scary accidents in the past week, and can only imagine what’s going on out there today. Those body shops and insurance folks are crazy busy this month. #alaskasky #anchorage #asd #roadconditions

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

A nurse nearly blinded by a tear gas canister. Protesters struggling to breathe. Under Trump 2.0, federal agents have routinely countered protesters using "less lethal" weapons in ways that some experts say might be criminal. ➡️ Read more (w/ @frontlinepbs.bsky.social): https://propub.li/4qjXYdX

Our community deserves better. Investing in our youth is key to long term thriving. I lay the blame firmly at the feet of Dunleavy and like minded folks who have set out to undermine public education. #alaskasky #education #anchorage #anchorageschooldistrict #republicans

Unable to attend our local vigil, so lighting a candle on my porch for Renee Good. #iceoutforgood #reneegood #peacenothate #loveoverviolence

Candlelight service in memory of Renee Nicole Good in Anchorage tonight.

My kids & I stood for an hour w/ a few hundred others in 12 degree weather in Anchorage tonight to say #ICEoutforgood , to honor the memory of Renee Nicole Good & the other victims of ICE shootings & deaths in custody, & to ready ourselves to protect our neighbors & loved ones against ICE in Alaska.

If they have money to go to Venezuala then they have money to pay into our state treasury. Tax Hilcorp. #akleg

Don’t know if it is nationwide but there are some amazing deals at #EddieBauer right now. Pull up the item on their website for prices that are 50-66% off. Show it to the cashier and they will price match. #alaskasky #shopping #sales #anchorage

As @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social said on "Washington Week" tonight, "I feel like we're playing Risk on ketamine right now."

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

A valuable tool in the current moment.

As I filled out the FAFSA for my kid tonight, I’ve never been more afraid and distrustful of my own federal government. Who knows what entities will now have access to my data? What if I made a mistake on the form & then swore it was accurate? #fafsa #paranoia #USDepartmentofEducation #financialaid

Make it viral.

#alaskasky #akgovernor #tombegich

The DOJ removed the “Not One More” report, claiming this is part of the “rollback” of DEI initiatives. A report about documenting the injustices that Native American peoples have faced is somehow a DEI initiative? We need to change this, call your representatives, and let’s get the report back up!

Yikes!!!

#alaskasky you can advocate for local govt and other entities to post here on BlueSky.

I don’t know if anyone has done the math to track how all the cuts and boosts in funding played out at different levels of education last year. #alaskasky #education Top Alaska education stories of 2025: state funding boost, federal freezes and disaster displacement alaskabeacon.com/2025/12/30/t...
