AnarcHochulism is delivering

my god, she's cooking

again, for all the hand wringing on this website, this was obviously going to be the result people who still watch cbs evening news aren't trumpists!

when it's going really super swell

The fact that Mary Peltola has a 35% negative among Alaska Natives is mind-boggling to me. It should be 90-10.

jesus CHRIST man

labeling the hall of mirrors and hall of battles in Versaille because the Sun King is Sundowning

My own kids (all seven of them!) don’t remember when Alaska was a place of abundance, a young state that commanded respect in DC. We have to get back to that.

they did, in fact, take decisive action. in the midst of these hearings congress passed the third enforcement act, called the Ku Klux Klan Act. the grant administration used that authority to virtually eliminate the klan, which did not resurface for another 50 years.

we should want to make it undeniable that there is no choice but to end ICE, prosecute its officers for lawbreaking, and fundamentally rethink immigration enforcement.

this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)

this wasn't just fact-finding, it was a form of what @joshchafetz.bsky.social calls "congressional overspeech." the testimony from black americans was dramatic and divisive. it captured the attention of the public and helped build support for aggressive action against the klan (2/?)

over the course of 1871, congress held seven months of hearings on ku klux klan and other white vigilante violence in the south, they took detailed testimony from hundreds of black men and women attesting to klan terror. (1/?)

i'm not gonna lie i think Swalwell has hit a near perfect pitch for this campaign

Gatekeep, Gaslight, Girlboss, Galadriel?

'they did go beating up Black people' yes and ICE and CBP routinely beat immigrants before this administration, the part where they are shooting white legal observers and throwing obvious non-immigrants in SUVs is sort of the operative comparison here!

the senate is lean democrat as it stands

BREAKING: Mary Peltola continues to lead Senator Dan Sullivan by two points in the NOW OFFICIAL US Senate race for Alaska. Alaska Survey Research January 8-11, 2026 n=2,132 Alaska adults, 1,988 registered voters MOE: +/- 2.0% Fielding: Text-to-online and ASR Survey Panel

As I was saying, she's a serious candidate and this is a real race.

Peltola approval: +5.1 Sullivan approval: -11.4 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another excellent piece from the widely respected Scott Moore on how to run to win in every district across the country. Focus on local issues that impact your communities and shut out the noise.

also USSS and I&A, those are also dumpster fires

👀

These people are all apostates and heretics. I’ve come to understand the hatred that helped lead to the 30 Years War honestly.

After launching my campaign for U.S. Senate yesterday, we received an outpouring of support from Alaskans of all walks of life. More than 500 (!!) signed up on day one to volunteer. Alaskans are fired up and ready to fix the rigged system in DC that's shutting down our state.

sir. you are a 100% cotton dish cloth. you do not need to be washed on gentle cycle

Days since last public town hall: Graham Platner: 6 Susan Collins: >9,000

"what you think you're better than me just because you think it's bad when armed agents of the state kill a woman in front of her wife" yes? I do? I feel like obviously I should?

At my event in Detroit Lakes, attendees were called away from my event to legally observe an ICE raid at a Walmart. In this moment, this is one of the best ways we can protect our neighbors. I've taken legal observer training, and I hope you will too.

things that won't happen for 500, alex

If you follow politics and you say Democrats about a piece (that you don’t link) about a lobbying group out of step with congressional leaders? You should blog out

Should be clear that @jamellebouie.net is also 129% correct that “do something “ here is not gonna be abolish, and you should accept that as a price of entry at this point .

If Dems like Goldman are saying this, it represents the sentiments of the caucus as a whole

It’s way, way easier for moderate Senate Democrats to be like “we need to do something about ICE and won’t pass DHS till we do” if Republicans aren’t holding a gun to Education funding. Though, specifically, Education is forward funded so it’s more immune anyway.

Our values and our laws are not bargaining chips. We will always defend New Yorkers, even in the face of federal threats to withhold funding.

I’ve been getting a lot of messages about how to help, so here’s a list! Donate: secure.actblue.com/donate/soc-j... Sign up to volunteer: act.marypeltola.com/signup/mary-alaska-volunteer/ Sign up for updates: marypeltola.com Share this post, tell all your friends, and give us a follow!

also, uh, all of that + immigration. Duh.

there isn't a good reason why the DHS aprops bill should get a single democratic vote

Today I attended @GovKathyHochul's State of the State alongside some of my fellow socialists in office. Exciting progress on childcare, transit, housing and protecting New Yorkers from ICE — but lots of work ahead to make it a reality. Stay in the fight. And tax the rich.

I just held a town hall in Collin County — which Trump won by double digits. 2,000 people showed up. There is something happening in Texas.

If you're excited for universal child care and you know it, clap your hands! 👏🏽

When New Yorkers move forward with strength and compassion side by side, there is no challenge we cannot meet, no tyrant we cannot beat, and no future we cannot build.

The 222nd New Jersey Legislature has been sworn into office as of noon today, and for the first time in modern New Jersey history it will include Democrats who won without playing traditional party-boss-dominated machine politics 😈

What is happening. Are we about to get Governor Kenneth Hochul.

ICE shot Renee Good in the face and then called her a "fuckin' bitch"

Menendez is one of the public defenders Biden nominated as a federal judge, this is going to get ugly.

New Yorkers deserve to know that what they see and hear is real. We’re going to require clear labels on AI-generated political content and strengthen our ban on deepfakes that deceive voters.
