I’m on a small-ship Alaska cruise with my son; our boat rescued a stranded vessel last night and apparently we did that after the Coast Guard radioed Mark Zuckerberg’s yacht - which was closer - and they repeatedly refused to respond. (There was near unanimous booing when the captain announced this)

So @marypeltola.com ‘s plan for affordable energy is drill baby drill and full steam ahead with AKLNG. One will hasten the destruction of our environment. The other will never happen, and even if it does there’s zero chance it will reduce energy prices. Shitty plan Mary. #akleg
🚨NEW PLAN: Making energy affordable for Alaskans. Alaska has always been a leader in energy production. So as DC price hikes create an energy catastrophe for Alaskans, I have a plan to invest in Alaska energy, bring down costs, create more opportunity, and grow our economy.

We are an open enrollment university with a technical college. We are a land, space, sea, and green grant university. We are America's Arctic University. In-state tuition at UAF is a steal.
Anchorage Assembly meeting is getting wild right now! The conservative bros are pitching a fit . Goecker accusing Silvers of “horseshit”. #akleg
See @marypeltola.com and @billhillforalaska.bsky.social , it isn’t very hard to tell the truth about our country in a way that inspires people. Have some courage, I think Alaskans will reward you for it.

The vanity ticket with zero shot at winning that has barely campaigned at all would like you to know that they are SIGNIFICANT and UNDENIABLE and HISTORIC and SYMBOLIC. I would also add DELUSIONAL lol www.adn.com/opinions/202...

Scapegoats are emotionally cheaper than systems. Blaming the left asks nothing of you. It feels good and righteous and right. Asking whether your institutions and your party failed you requires dismantling beliefs you have spent your lifetime building. That is emotionally expensive.
"There are other capable progressives weighing a run in 2028," writes @sunraysunray.bsky.social. "However, none of them can do the two things AOC can do at once: run a serious national campaign as one of the most recognized figures in the country, and pull an entire movement into being behind it."

The congresswoman can run a serious national campaign on the left and pull a movement in behind it. She should get in early

want to be clear there are absolutely big differences b/t Dems & GOP, don’t ascribe to all-the-same, and that said, it’s awfully telling how many high profile Dems now profess to prefer a Republican in office than a progressive and how that appears to be driven by who is closer to their values
Excellent reason to vote no on ballot measure 2. Without dark money disclosures, Alaskans will never know who is attempting to buy your vote.

JKT released that plan the morning he knew that multiple news stories were going to break on his funding. I’d take that with a grain of salt. It was clearly a higher priority for him than the other candidates for PR purposes *bc he took so much money from them*. Do versus say? Do matters more.
No followers and no following. Every post defending JKT from his AI blunder. Why would anyone believe this clown is an authentic Alaskan who has a stake in this election? Boo this sock puppet!
JKT is the ONLY candidate for governor with a concrete plan to control AI & data centers in AK: an immediate moratorium, mandatory community consent, & zero public subsidies so local power bills don't skyrocket. Drake Thomas' works for Anthropic. Read his op-ed on why: www.adn.com/opinions/202...

AOC Must Run For President
History is calling. Sorry!

She’s the one
The left needs a candidate it can unite around in the 2028 primaries and AOC is the only real choice. Nobody else checks all of the boxes. Every other option is worse. If she doesn't run, it's a missed opportunity of historic proportions. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/aoc-must-r...

If Alaska LNG is as transformative as its backers say, it can carry a fair tax and survive an honest accounting of who gets paid.

#akleg Great op-ed by Matt Schultz in the ADN this evening. I particularly like this line, "stop pandering and start persuading."
I've been naturalized for 1 year and voted in the local elections. Now I try and can't find my record.
Just 1 day left to register to vote for Alaska's August 18th primary. Make sure your friends and family are registered, and don't forget to check your own registration too. Unsure if you're registered? Check your status here: https://myvoterportal.alaska.gov/
Anecdotally, it looks like Alaska is purging naturalized citizens from the voter rolls, claiming that they're not American. It happened to my partner and to other people she knows. So know that when you see US gov't claims about non-citizens found on the voting rolls, know that it's bullshit.

They are a bunch of easy-money seeking Ivy Leaguers.
To me, as long as Bill Hill refuses to commit to caucusing with the Democrats, it’s a very ambiguous showdown. I’m not sure that I can support someone who doesn’t understand that the GOP is an existential threat to our democracy.
#akleg I didn't have Matt Schultz suspending his campaign on my Friday bingo card. He ran a good, positive campaign and this move clears the field for a more unambiguous showdown. Vote for Bill Hill.
#akleg Getting some real VECO vibes from these guys. Corporations negotiating for billions of dollars in forgone revenue and billions more in future investments should be making their deals on the record, not behind closed doors.
Here in the Capitol we are waiting for news on the revised compromise bill for the proposed AKLNG gasline tax break - Members of the Conference Committee are meeting privately in Rep Schrage's office & just saw the Glenfarne president Adam Prestidge walk in
