Just a heads-up: there may be a counter-presence near tomorrow’s “No Kings” protest (12–2). They might bring flags + try to shift focus, though not necessarily at the Whale.

Let’s stay peaceful, respect free speech, and show up strong + united. ✊🏽❤️🕊️ #NoKings #PeacefulProtest

JUNEAU FRIENDS — Join us TODAY (Wed 4/16) at noon at the State Capitol to protest the abuse of power in Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s unlawful deportation. Even Trump called it an “error.” Demand accountability. Stand for justice.

I’d guess about 1,300 people at Juneau’s protest today in front of the Alaska Capitol. Largest I’ve seen there since the women’s march and march for science during the first Trump term. Extra credit to the person who had a Greenland flag — not many of those in town, I’d guess. #akleg #Alaska

The Political Revolution @polrev.bsky.social · Mar 11

Bernie's belief in the power of the people and a government which should work for them is matched by very few. Our representatives need to step up as he has in order to fight back against the fascists and oligarchs.

Drawing huge crowds, Bernie Sanders emerges as the leader of the anti-Trump resistance

At 83 years old, Sanders is not running for president again. But the stooped and silver-haired democratic socialist has emerged as a leader of the resistance to Donald Trump's second presidency.

Happy Elizabeth Peratrovich Day! Ḵaax̱gal.aat (1911–1958), who was Raven of the Tlingit Lukaax.ádi clan, gave a moving speech that is believed to be a large reason the first civil rights bill for Alaska Natives was passed in 1945. Read more about her here:

archives.alaska.gov/education/pe...

Black and white photo of Elizabeth Peratrovich, a woman with flawless skin, elegant earrings, dark hair and eyes. "Asking you to give me equal rights implies that they are yours to give. Instead I must demand that you stop trying to deny me the rights all people deserve." Born in 1911, she was an equal rights advocate for all Alaska Natives and helped pass the first anti-discrimination law in the US

Elizabeth Peratrovich quote: "I would not have expected that I, who am barely out of 'savagery', would have to remind gentlemen with five thousand years of recorded civilization behind them, of our bill of rights." Cartoon of Tlingit woman draped in a red shawl with a raven on it, her hair in a red bandana, posed with her arm flexed. Alaska scene behind her with a bill dozer, signs including one that says HB77
