It would be great if the top two stories about the executive branch were not a huge multinational child rape coverup and the establishment of a gulag of concentration camps

the reason we still fuck with the political system is because it is extracting 25-30% of our paychecks and buying bombs and tear gas. as long as they are doing that it very much matters that we start getting our people elected

Acting Alaska AG Cox signed onto at least two dozen MAGA amicus briefs in his first month of work last September. He should not be confirmed. Please write your #akleg

This is another in a long line of “culture war” issues that acting and unconfirmed AG Stephen Cox (Texas) is involved in instead of fighting for Alaskas and Alaskans best interests. Everyone should be calling the #akleg to not confirm AG Cox.

Yes. This is why you should beware of people who speak of the lessons or verdict of history as if future students of evil will always judge it harshly rather than glorify and aspire to it. If history teaches anything it is that history will not conform to your pleasant delusions at some later date.
Yes. Miller knows those people can't all be deported. He knows they will be in camps. We need to understand: many, many people in Trump's circle read about the Nazis, openly admire Hitler, and want to emulate what Hitler did. We have to accept how serious this is - we cannot hide from it.
Dear all saying no worries, Trump can't round up 10M immigrants because their work is needed for the US economy: please, remember that MOST of the camps in Germany from 1938 were "Arbeitslager" - labor camps. Deporting people is hard. But locking people up and making them work, that's been done. 1/

What it was like to be a bush at Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance
The bushes on the field during the halftime show became a meme after the internet found out they were actually human performers.

No doubt Dunleavy will be there.
The racism of Trump and his administration is no longer debatable, and really, it never was. It is now blatant and out in the open. POC in America, Trump wants to push us back to Jim Crow, and if we do not rise up, he could succeed.
We need to say it plainly: what just happened to Maryland Gov. Wes Moore isn’t a small political slight it is an ugly and unacceptable act that should outrage every decent American.

Did Dunleavy and Dahlstrom break any Alaska laws when they shared our confidential info? Even red WI didn't sign the agreement.

"Yet such a contractor is not bound by the safeguards in the agreement, and it provides no framework for vetting contractors."
A confidential document reveals both the Trump administration’s plans to interfere with the states’ authority to run elections and how dangerously insecure the sensitive data will be in the department’s hands. bit.ly/46tX4nd

My two top memories of figure skating, Surya's athletic prowess and Scott Hamilton's foot work.
So, illegal for Surya (who did it on 1 blade) 🤔

Landing on ONE blade 🤯

I’m headed up to Bethel in a week for their first ever comic-con, KuskoCon. They thought it would be fun for the folks to make their own Pokémon cards, so I made a sheet where they could roll for a prompt. I feel like I’m in the dark on the critical elements. Am I missing anything essential?
