Have the evening news on the TV. Just caught glimpse of the orange Oaf with Saudi Murder Prince inside the now garish gold embellished People's House. I now feel an urge to puke.

Could the AK legislature pass a law that said the AK national guard should *not* be deployed for “civil disturbance operations” (counter to the pentagon’s instructions)?

This is a real question, I don’t know how the national guard, which I thought was a state thing, interacts with the feds.

One of my worst fears. This is positively medieval and entirely misogynistic.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%.

A HUGE win for James Comey in his criminal case.

A federal judge orders the DOJ to turnover ALL OF THE GRAND JURY MATERIALS to Comey's defense team.

About to drop a new episode walking through the details of this scathing order on my YouTube channel!

I listened to the Public Radio Podcast, over the weekend. Horrific abuse. No one held accountable.
Officials in a Mississippi jail violently abused the people incarcerated there and encouraged other detainees known as “trusties” to join in on the beatings.

Incarcerated people must not face abuse at the hands of the state.
In a Brutal Mississippi Jail, Inmates Say They Were Enlisted as Enforcers
High-ranking inmates known as trusties were ordered to do guards’ bidding, former inmates and guards said, and the culture of violence in the jail went straight to the top.

If you are unaware of the absolute horrific tragedy that is happening in our first person communities please take a few minutes to become informed. If this was blond haired blue-eyed people we would have declared a national emergency and be throwing an inexhaustible amount of resources at this.

In my entire life, I've never seen any President actively ask the Supreme Court to intervene so that they don't have to feed hungry people.

It's truly obscene, I don't care what party or religion you belong to.

It's foul and inexcusable.

Mid-November ice extent in the Bering Sea (west of Alaska) 1978-2025 based on NSIDC data. In hindsight, the step change between 2001 and 2002 is remarkable for its consistency. The 2002-2025 median is 65 percent lower(!) than the median of the prior 24 years. 1 / 2 #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

An immigrant had her green card revoked for writing a bad cheque for $25.

She had since paid it back.

She’s now languishing in a detention camp.

Yet we are letting child rapists go free. Even the ones who get caught get “community service”.

It was never about crime.
