Here in Fairbanks we do indeed have a rally and a chili feed planned! I’m bringing 4 gallons of chili myself, so you should come and help eat some of it. I’ve already got the beans and dried chilies soaking!

The following #Fairbanks businesses have a public record of supporting far-right MAGA Republicans. Don’t give them your business when there are ethical alternatives. #akleg #alaska

As someone who has written a little about performance and legislative politics, I am begging people to stop using "performative" pejoratively. Politics *is* performance. All human interaction is performance.

The most common question to the Sen. Dan Sullivan poster at Fairbanks town hall is why he isn’t saying or doing anything to support the rule of law. #alaska

Sen. Dan Sullivan, a no-show at crowded Fairbanks town hall meeting, would hear a litany of complaints about his silence regarding Trump. Speaker after speaker addresses the poster of Sullivan. #alaska

Alaska’s Senator Dan Sullivan hasn’t answered his phone or listened to concerned Alaskans in months (years?). If he won’t host a town hall, the public will. Where are you, Dan? #akleg #alaska

How To Be a Fighter When You Feel Like a Punching Bag Many of us are suffering from a kind of social atrophy.

My latest: "The more often we have experienced true helplessness, the more likely we are to feel powerless in situations where action is possible. And the more we freeze or flail in response to threats, the more deeply ingrained those responses become."

This is just a fraction of the crowd of folks overflowing from Nick Begich's office and into the street last night. Alaskans are pissed off and looking for answers. Our elected officials are going to keep hearing from us until something changes. #AlaskaSky #Alaska #akleg

Nick Begich says he's concerned about Alaskans' jobs (insert very serious concerned face here), and acts like he's going to somehow make it better on a "case by case basis." Surreeeee...

How about having a backbone and actually standing up for Alaskan jobs and families instead? #Alaskasky

I waited 50 minutes to talk with @nickbegich.bsky.social at his office in FBX. After a long back and forth where he asked me how many people *I* think should work for the federal government (??), he said he ultimately thinks what's happening at the federal level will be good for #Alaska. #AlaskaSky
