I used to live in the U.S.A. Now I don't know where the Fuckistan I am.
In a lot of mythologies, red auroras were associated with war. Good thing they were just stories.

Veterans Day auroras in Anchorage.

After the Senate Democrats caved, there’s been a flood of rhetoric about how the Party needs to be reformed. But what if the fact that we’ve devolved into a self-perpetuating two-party system is the real root of the problem?

I wonder if it's finally clear that a two party system doesn't work, especially when both parties are more interested in representing big business than the people who elected them.

In any case, some Democrats just made it incredibly clear that the will of the people is not their top priority.

Ah, the innocence of youth — when I thought everyone would surely want to be a hero rather than a villain. How wrong I was. Seen here: early role models for Trump and Stephen Miller — King Richard and Sir Hiss.

This is Alaska gubernatorial candidate Tom Begich with his wife Sarah Sledge singing “Take a Stand” a couple years ago, but it’s very appropriate for 2025.

Yesterday was a very good day for democracy. But make no mistake — we’re entering the most treacherous part of the fight. The regime is too deep in corruption to give up easily. They’re facing an existential threat, and they will do ANYTHING to stay in power and avoid consequences.

Speaking as an Independent, I’m not as chuffed about Democratic wins as I am about winds blowing toward progressive reform. I’m all in for civic-minded candidates with integrity, and the will to fund quality education and universal healthcare. If some of them happen to be younger Dems, so be it.

THIS is how you take down tyranny.

It’s time to stop blaming and start listening to each other’s pain — to recognize that we’re all being hurt by the same forces. Once we understand that, we can begin working together to build a better country.

Unity is our strength. Division is our downfall. That’s why we’ve been turned against each other — so we don’t see who the true enemy is. The most radical act of resistance is to build the hell out of community wherever you can. If you want to change minds, you have to change hearts first.

Looking at the faces in Anchorage Costco today felt like taking a virtual trip around the world. I worry so much about our colored communities now.

This throwdown by the current occupant of the White House really deserves momentum. While bragging about acing his cognitive test, he claimed AOC and Jasmine Crockett would fail miserably. Kimmel offered to fund the challenge, and Crockett accepted. Let’s go, Donald.

Kindness always matters. And in times when it seems most rare, it's revolutionary.

This is important to remember as ICE continues to reign terror on American cities. Unless they (we) descended from the original people, their (our) ancestors were immigrants, and likely lived on stolen land.

Our tax dollars should be going toward disaster relief to help people like the victims of the storms in Western Alaska and those struggling with medical costs and hunger. Instead, we’re bailing out Argentina while setting up GoFundMe pages to support our own citizens. America First, indeed.

Yesterday saw the biggest anti-Trump rally ever. His response? Metaphorically shit on Americans from a military jet while presenting himself as king. This is not humor or meme culture. It's what he thinks of our system of government and Americans who dissent.

I really think the administration has lost control of the narrative.

A concerning thing is, they don't care about optics anymore. Which means they're not trying to win elections. Which means they're not counting on elections to stay in power.

I asked a millennial if they’d rally on the 18th. They said, “I’m quietly protesting, but I’m afraid to go.” I replied, “That’s why we go.” I’m posting this for anyone who’s afraid or thinks rallies don’t matter—the opposition counts on our fear and silence.
