Shoshanah in Alaska

They are violating the Clean Water Act and their permits so this is debatable. The state can make regulations for their waters. It appears this dumping is in Alaska waters not federal.

Ugh 😩

Results: Progressives win all four of these primaries, ousting incumbents Cunningham, Willingham, and Majeed, while Pierce held off Wray’s comeback.

extraordinary night for state progressives in North Carolina

An important result from western North Carolina.

As we reported at Bolts, Moore seemed to be the establishment Democratic choice—facing a career public defender—but broadly supportive of criminal justice reform & critical of the new state law restricting bail: boltsmag.org/buncombe-cou...

RESULT: Democrats have flipped a state House seat in Arkansas.

This is their 2nd flip of a legislative seat so far in 2025 (after a Texas flip in January), & it adds to a tremendous trend that started last year, when they flipped 21% of all GOP-held seats in play: boltsmag.org/legislative-...

I substitute taught in an elementary classroom with one of these children. I cannot imagine how my, their classmates’,or their neighbors’ lives are worse for them being here.

When I was a child in the ASD I had a couple Russian clsssmates. How is this different?

Abolish DHS.

Just reading that menu turns my stomach!

Well yes definitely something could have been done. Blue states refused and sued and they have all won in court because it’s illegal.

"Do not obey in advance" is the first rule of resistance from historian Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny.

The USA also sent troops to Nigeria to aide the Nigerian Army against terrorists.

The Trump Regime is now policing the world so we don’t talk about the Epstein Files and his 💩 poll numbers.

This is what Americans get instead of basic services like healthcare, and affordable food and housing.

Seriously sick. And every one of those people is now potentially motivated to seek revenge on America.

Alaskas Acting AG Stephen Cox is involved in this culture war climate denial and gift to big oil.

He should NOT be confirmed by #akleg

The Senate match-up is now set in North Carolina: Roy Cooper (D) will face Michael Whatley (R) in November.

This was very heavily expected, though Whatley had some competition in the GOP primary.

(That's also the first result that gets updated in our guide: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...)

There’s 6 kinds to choose from. Amazing.

Research looks at economic impacts of Bethel's ice road, barge, and air traffic Researchers from the University of Alaska Anchorage are combining machine learning and community feedback to understand the ties between income and transportation accessibility in the regional hub.

"We're just looking to get a better picture of the human impact of changes in transportation accessibility, and how some of the changes in climate could be impacting people," said Matt Hegland, a researcher with UAA's College of Engineering.

Our country has been turned into a moral wasteland of pedophile protectors, warmongers, racists complicit with ICE and DHS, corporate whores, and white nationalists.

Trump Immigration Sweeps Spawn Underground Safe Houses In Springfield, Ohio, some Americans have converted their basements and spare bedrooms into shelters for immigrant families who could be targeted in raids.

More than 10,000 Haitians call Springfield, Ohio, home. Trying to protect their neighbors from immigration raids, some of the city’s residents have converted their basements and spare bedrooms into shelters for Haitian families who could be targeted by the Trump administration.

All the States Where DOJ is Demanding Voting Data Read more here.

Here’s reporting from Democracy Docket that includes Alaska 6 months prior.

The DOJ started asking for voter data in July 2025.

I don’t think so. The DOJ contacted them about it months before and there was reporting about it. We didn’t know what she’d do or when but it wasn’t hard to guess.

Online age verification could be coming to Alaska, piggybacking on anti-CSAM bill - The Alaska Current But the bill does a whole lot more than that in the name of childrens’ safety.

As the Alaska Legislature advances a bill to crack down on AI-generated CSAM, amendments could bring online age verification and parental controls for minors’ social media accounts into state law.

Lawmakers question Alaska's decision to turn over confidential voter data to DOJ Lawmakers in the predominantly Democratic bipartisan House majority said they were concerned the state didn't push back harder on the DOJ's request.

The state turned over the voter list to the federal government in December after a series of requests from the Department of Justice.

(From @alaskapublic.org)

That is a good point. It supposedly took Dahlstrom 6 months to turn over the information from the time DOJ asked. Maybe they could have tried to stop it?

What to do if you are denied FEMA assistance for October 2025 storms Applicants who have received denial letters by mail or email have 60 days to appeal the decision. In cases where documents are missing, applicants can either upload them to their FEMA application or include them with appeal letters.

This is the typical response of the MAGA faction of the akgop. It’s a horrible idea.
