Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Anyone else concerned about how weak Mary Peltola’s statement is?
Nothing is more important than the safety of our communities – it’s why I stood up to my own party in Congress to support law enforcement and secure our border. What’s happening right now in the Lower 48 does nothing to make us safer here in Alaska.

Inspired by the hundreds of people who showed up at yesterday’s vigil, I made a few new signs last night.

Something about listening to this makes me feel like a human being, rather than an object of constant gaslighting.

The Trump/ICE method is akin to stochastic terrorism. You flood a city with untrained hotheads. You pump them up with white nationalist propaganda and tell them to escalate and kick ass. You also make clear you'll shield them from any legal accountability. You don't know specifically who is going...

Made the rich richer and the government more corrupt and less protective of the people.
There is a reason he’s forced to cause all of this chaos. He has NO PLAN. He funds no programs, no healthcare, no education, no lower prices, money coming in only supports more chaos. He envies other dictators. I challenge ANYONE to tell me just one single thing he’s accomplished? Discussion open

This is the Alaska DMV's Boats page. dmv.alaska.gov/boats/ Allowing some crappy AI 'fishing boat' image to disgrace the Alaska boat title and registration page is yet another humiliation of the Dunleavy era. What a garbage governor. What a disgrace.

Because he intended to shoot a peaceful civilian in the face.
The folks attempting to defend Jonathan Ross for firing his weapon seem to be ignoring one major question: why did he have his weapon out in the first place?

Have you not learned…that we will shoot you?
UNARMED WOMAN: “Shame on you.”

ICE GOON: “Have you not learned from the past few days?”

UNARMED WOMAN: “Learned what? What’s our lesson?”

ICE GOON: *VIOLENTLY SNATCHES HER PHONE*

Would that Alaska had such candidates in its U.S. Senate race as Texas's James Talerico and Jasmine Crockett.
James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people
