It’s the live and mass violation of women for daring to exist outside the narrow confines of a controlled and sexualised plaything for men

Fuck cops for killing another Alaskan in crisis AND shooting his brother in the head at the same time.

Help his family now, and keep in mind the desperate need for civilian oversight of police including subpoena power and the authority to terminate employment for bad behavior. #AkLeg #Alaska

Donna, Gerald, and Adam's wife Nikki have gone to Seattle with Adam during his emergency brain surgery. The main family is here in Fairbanks and is being cared for by their daughter Linda. They would love people to pray for them and bring meals if you are willing and able. Please sign up for a day to help them.

“While on the #Alaska medical board, McDonough voted [to] classify gender-affirming care for minors as ‘unprofessional conduct.’”

I’m so angry. All children deserve the utmost care & protection. Gender-affirming health care saves lives. Republicans obsess over kids’ genitals for a reason. #AkLeg

Alaska Department of Corrections has reported now 17 deaths in custody this year.

That surpasses 14 reported deaths last year, nearing the highest of 18 deaths in 2022.

7 people died, or 40%, unsentenced, only charged and waiting for trial.

#akleg There is an Alaska connection to Adam Crum's sketchy $50m investment. DigitalBridge owns a controlling stake in Vertical Bridge which bought out 275 of GCI's wireless towers.

I'm not sure if this acts as a funnel towards a specific project or person but I hope the legislature can find out.
