Reminder that the Alaska Landmine is owned and operated by a categorically racist, misogynist, transphobic piece of shit that openly advocates for MAGA fascism. Do not read it. Do not support it. Do not attend its events. It’s harming our state and neighbors, especially the most vulnerable. #akleg

Deleted an old post about #akleg joint session for possible veto override; it's now looking like Thursday morning instead of this afternoon for that.

Hey who is this in Senator Shelley Hughes's new campaign video? Surely it's not demented white nationalist bigot and failed school board candidate Alexander Rosales? Surely Senator Hughes isn't dumb enough to to do that, is she?

When you have no values, but only ambition, you end up like Newsom, Buttigieg, Emmanuel, Booker: indulging man’s worst instincts. It allows you to throw trans people under the bus and defend ICE’s continued existence. And everyone sees right through you.

Today, an Alaska Superior Court judge struck down the state's restrictions on breweries and wineries hosting live music and entertainment, a long-running fight over the legality of fun in non-bar alcohol-serving places, as a free speech violation.

The limitations on "fun" were part of a compromise in the #akleg between bars and the growing brewery industry.
In the order, Judge Zeman said, "political compromise is not recognized as a substantial government interest for the
purposes of restricting speech under the First Amendment."

The majority of republicans believe it is justified for an emotionally out of control, big feeling having, scaredy cat ICE agent to shoot a mother in the face. This is just politics, right?
QUINNIPIAC: “.. Republicans (77 - 10 percent) think the shooting was justified, while Democrats (92 - 4 percent) and independents (59 - 28 percent) think the shooting was not justified.”
