Happy Hitler’s Death Day to everyone! May every fascist follow in his final footsteps.

One of my lovely friends made me a boutonniere of my favorite flower <3
Flying back to Juneau with a medieval suit of armor in my suitcase. It was over weight by 2lbs. So had to move a piece to my backpack. This was followed up with a humorous conversation with TSA. The capital isn't ready for THIS knight in shining armor 😜
weird Juneau cell/internet outage is a good reminder that it doesn’t matter what resources are online if you can’t access them- good to have some hard copy backups!

Spending Christmas with Family In NorthPole. We all have a turn choosing a movie. I always Choose "Jingle all the way." I always find it absolutely charming and weird movie.
#akleg Re: The dueling RCV repeal ballot measures, I hope Izon caves to the far right establishment folks because their measure also rolls back dark money provisions and that's going to be a much harder sell. I do love how inept Izon is though, a real gift to the effort. We'll miss him.
Dueling Alaska ranked choice repeal petitions filed for next election
The petitions are the first step in a long process to get repeal initiatives on the 2026 ballot.

Being apart of a local healthcare summit with all the heads of local medical companies *the day* that CEO was killed was kinda a wild experience.
In Alaska, we created Democratic majorities in boroughs and the Legislature. I hope that with those we can ensure that we can do some good and build infrastructure for future wins. Milquetoast admins are clearly going the way of the dinosaurs. Let's ensure our majority doesn't go with.
In the three majority-Native districts in Alaska, the 'no' to repealing RCV won 64% to 36%, netting 2,960 votes. Statewide, the 'no' only won by 664 votes. This was not a coincidence, but result of plenty of organizing, & work by Native leaders: boltsmag.org/alaska-measu...

Alaska’s predominantly Native regions delivered huge margins against repealing the state’s new elections system, despite facing continued logistical challenges to voting.
