Jed in Alaska

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

We are being governed by psychopaths.

Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”

Same!

Hey #alaskasky & #akleg, I've been working to organize this activism training for Alaskans this weekend. It's put on by the Center for Artistic Activism and they do great work in getting folks thinking strategically about their efforts and their impacts.

The Dow is now WAY below 50,000. Release all the Epstein files, Pam.

@marypeltola.com ?

I’m beginning to think Mary Peltola’s election strategy is not to speak publicly throughout the election.

Her website hasn’t been updated in over a month.

I honestly don’t know how you can run for the US Senate and not offer an opinion when the country goes to war.

Warmonger

I feel like Trump should have to return his fake FIFA peace prize

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

Sometimes this place posts some pretty hurtful, hateful and petty messages about trans people on its chalkboard. They have good food, but I can’t patronize a place that punches down on vulnerable members of our community.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve?

If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days?

If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built?

It's a tax. That's all it is.

ADN article from yesterday: "ICE takes mother and children including 5-year-old into custody in Soldotna, lawyer says" with photo of St. Mary's Church press conference about it

🧵1/ Feeling paralyzed and unsure how to help in light of ICE activity? Here are a few things I've gathered from talking with the experts that we should all know and do (w/ info specific to #AlaskaSky):

A.) It is really important to let people who are at risk of being detained know or, if u see

WHY has no one in the Epstein Files been charged? Epstein and his girlfriend, and literally no one else.

DOJ has spent more time and resources protecting the criminals than investigating them. Even as a blanket cover-up it doesn't make sense.

Imagine being the most powerful man in the world and being this much of a whiney victim BITCH.

Good god what a child

This is infuriating and outrageous. Laws need to change in Alaska to bring down heavier consequences for drivers that injure or kill pedestrians.

Here’s Donald Trump, right after he told Kyle Rittenhouse he shouldn’t have taken a gun to a protest.

I’ll be curious how the governor’s proposed sales tax is received by those that voted to not override this veto

Legislature votes against overriding Gov. Dunleavy’s veto of revenue bill The vote comes ahead of Dunleavy’s expected proposal of a new statewide sales tax.

Lawmakers voted against overriding Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s veto of a corporate tax bill that passed the Legislature last year. The bill was intended to apply the state’s corporate income tax to companies operating online.

On a vote of 35-25, the #akleg has FAILED to override Gov. Dunleavy's veto of Senate Bill 113, which would have shifted online corporate tax revenue from other states to Alaska.

It's a caucus-line vote.

Instead, the Republican gov is expected to call for a sales tax tonight.

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

“Also during the press conference, 15 of his cabinet members read a list of their departments’ accomplishments during his tenure and showered praise on the governor.”

DOT plows pushing 40 lb chunks of ice onto already plowed pedestrian paths, with no regard to whether someone may be on said path.
