Good lord. These election results for Juneau are GRIM. Like, how on earth is a person who can read words voting yes-yes-no on the ballot measures??!!

We deserve everything that’s happening and will happen to us.

If the great Charlie Kirk were alive today, he would probably be bravely filming an argument with a college sophomore at a mid-major in rural Indiana, thinking about how he was going to edit it later to make it seem like he won. This is what we lost. You cowards took him from us. The master debater.

Ezra Klein is the absolute moral cowardice that we collectively deserve in this moment

Guys. We should be kind when we speak about people like Charlie Kirk, David Duke, and Adolf Hitler. They’re complicated men. And there are those who love them that we need to respect. I hope you can be a little more polite when speaking to their neverending hatred and bigotry.

Chief Bos is a bad actor who is knowingly hiring a giant piece of shit. He doesn’t care about this town. In his short tenure he’s actively attempted to hurt our community. Juneau deserves better.

Chief Bos said that following the incident, the department has updated its policies for requesting medical assistance when someone loses consciousness and training around tactics officers use.

Oh shit.

Fun fact:

Alaska State Legislature's select committee on Ethics is one of the few arenas citizens actually are able to directly ask questions to the chair and the administrator.

I got nowhere when Munoz was letterhead loose, but YMMV? 🤷‍♂️

Hakeem Jeffries twisting a huge dial labeled “appeasement” back and forth as he anxiously looks out at a crowd of consultants, waiting for them to boo or clap

Andrew Solender @andrewsolender.bsky.social · 10d

NEW: Jeffries praises Eric Adams in a statement, saying he has "served courageously and authentically for decades" and that "meaningful progress has been made" during his mayoralty.

Says he will "publicly weigh in" on the mayoral race "well before the start of early voting.”

It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

Nothing is funnier than being a bigot and defending another bigot when you look like this. Like, if Sarah and ol’ Chaz are the superior race then we are absolutely screwed.
