Alaska deserves a senator who will work to effectively abolish DHS. No compromise with fascists

I just stepped out my front door in East Anchorage and it was stinky and weird out there. And relatively warm at eleven degrees above zero

Quick question: is cold and flu season a nearly complete overlay of the school year? Asking for me...

Alaska medical board seeks to restrict abortion, transgender medical care | Alaska Beacon A proposed regulation could result in punishments for medical providers who give gender-affirming care to young Alaskans.

Once public comment opens, we absoluely need to flood it w/ opposition. But also, I get the sense we need to be more aggressively & frequently protesting too, bc how can an all-male, all-valley board w/o expertise decide things that affect so many? It’s wrong. alaskabeacon.com/2025/08/22/a...

I'm just filled with endless rage on behalf of all of my friends here in AK with trans kids, most of whom have already been weighing whether they can stay here.

I really like Pandora and have had an account for twenty years now. Excellent recommendation software and great sound quality, too. Bandcamp is really great as well. I use them both almost every day

I have done this around my small, suburban Anchorage yard to good effect. The neighbors have had nothing but compliments, thanking me for making the place more beautiful. The building time can be a little ugly for a bit, for sure.

The emperor has no clothes and as soon as enough people say so out loud, his empire will start to crumble. Nothing ever changed, grew, or repaired itself because people were meek, quiet, or afraid. To a one, we must meet this moment with a degree of courage that feels risky and uncomfortable to us.

That's so awful to hear. I fly rarely but rely on them. Can you be specific? What happened?

BREAKING: The Alaska House just voted to pass HB 69, a bill that would increase the BSA by $1,000. This is one step closer to providing the educators with the funding they need to provide the quality education Alaskans deserve! #akleg #RaiseTheAKBSA

Sick, ignorant, mean, and afraid. That’s how they want us because a population in that condition is much easier to rob and manipulate. Note how every single decision they make is oriented toward making those four things happen. Don’t let them.

A colorful cartoon by Lalo Alcaraz:
Santa Claus is sitting in his golden colored chair and wearing his red and white Santa outfit with black boots. A very small grey elephant sits on Santa's lap, wearing a red knit hat with a white ball on top and the letters GOP on it, light blue jacket and pants, and holding a long scroll reading: "This is my list of things I don't want others to have." Santa looks appalled.

GOP IS DESTROYING OUR:

OUR CONSTITUTION.
THIS IS TREASON!

For fourth consecutive year, gas pipeline boss is Alaska’s top-paid public executive β€’ Alaska Beacon Sen. Bert Stedman, R-Sitka, had the highest compensation among state legislators after a significant pay increase for all.

Did we all catch that the gasline ceo is the highest state salary? For a nonviable and non-existent gas line.

Honoring Elizabeth Peratrovich, Tlingit civil rights activist, today and her powerful words: "Asking you to give me equal rights implies that they are yours to give. Instead, I must demand that you stop trying to deny me the rights all people deserve."
