In 2024, George Rauscher (R) tried to ban trans kids from school sports. These are the same creeps demanding girls β€œprove” their gender to undetermined authorities with zero protections.

He also voted against LGBTQ+ equality and birth control access (said it caused cancer - not true). #AkLeg

Last year, two Anchorage correctional officers logged over 2,200 hours of overtime - on top of salary and benefits - with the top logging 2,774 hours at $225,263.

That's on average ~90 hr weeks, 18 hr days

I'm waiting on comment from DOC

We should pay teachers like we pay prison guards.

The surge in violence meted out by ICE absolutely should continue to be condemned, but I think a lot of people didn't realize or care that activists have been facing life-altering injury from cops for generations. "Law enforcement" has always been the violence. It ALL needs to stop.

I simply don’t know what to do with folks who insist β€œthey must be illegal” and β€œthey don’t deport without reason” when time & time again they do.

Yesterday morning, a woman woke up in my small town in Alaska, drove her kids to school, and tonight she & her children have been dropped in Tijuana.

Oh shoot!

A fifth question!

Rep. Alyse Galvin, a Democrat in the House Majority, gets up to talk about children. She says more than 5000 students started the year without a teacher.

She then talks about the three kids in Soldotna who were seized by ICE.

Sullivan, on the tens of thousands of Alaskans expected to lose Medicaid due to the work requirements, says basically it's too bad they're lazy:

"To me, that is not a Medicaid cut, that is a choice for those individuals."

Sullivan says to keep children safe "requires standing firmly with law enforcement and giving them our full support."

Also "law enforcement" in Alaska just took a 5-year-old girl.

Alaska U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan is set to give his annual address to the Alaska Legislature shortly. Follow along this 🧡 for my smart-ass coverage.

Looks like the notoriously tough-crowd-adverse Republican is getting a welcoming party.
