Watching "Wicked" for the first time. 47 is the Wizard of Oz, whose power is soley performative. DOGE is the Flying Monkey squad of spies. The animals who speak and teach are the scientists and scholars that 47 wants to silence. Who knew that a movie nee Broadway musical could be so prophetic?

In Fairbanks, Alaska, I estimate more than 700 people showed up to protest against Trump and Musk and to tell them to keep their #HandsOff - our schools, our Medicare, our Medicaid, our Social Security, our Parks, our jobs, our PBS. I’ll run out of space to list their offenses.

Hey Alaska Senators and Representative- the optics of your voters freezing to death are *terrible*
Not to mention inhumane. Please stop this insanity!

This is $9-18 million that assists 8,646 Alaskans households to stay warm. The average benefit is $751 total.
That's 8646 colder households next year.
That's children going to bed cold.
That's elders shivering under layers of blankets.
That will result in deaths.

We are trying to encourage MORE people to vote - this bill does the opposite. Let your congressperson know that this is not needed and they need to focus on making sure the next election is secure from Elon - not the American people.

Wisconsin has corn, cows and swing state cred. Well, Alaska has oil, minerals, and the most formidable group of anti-fascist sourdoughs ever seen. The pro-democracy movement is snowballing here. This state isn't as MAGA as we've been led to believe. We're going to flip this state. Dance Elon, dance.

We finally have a statewide calendar for activist and civic engagement events! MarchAgainst.org This is a clearing house for organizations from all over, verified by the hosts. Please share this with folks not on social media. "When/where" is the calendar, "get involved" is local resources.

Our hot take: a one handed, half-witted raccoon on meth is probably better suited for this role than this man. And that's assuming we agree this role should exist (we don't).
