➡️ @tanglenews.bsky.social went to Alaska to learn what’s changed since the state adopted ranked choice voting & open primaries. After years of gridlock, state lawmakers now consistently work together to get things done. Why? The reforms push lawmakers to reach all voters, not just a narrow base.
What's particularly startling about this story is that this is happening in Southern France and the U.K., which are at the same latitude as, respectively Maine and Newfoundland. Imagine, please, what this means for Texas.

Too many Alaska Native families have searched for a missing loved one and received silence instead of answers. Today, I released a plan to confront Alaska’s MMIP crisis, strengthen investigations, and make sure families are never left searching for answers alone.

The Trump Regime just wants you dead. They have blown way past death panels, remember them? Nope republicans will just murder you for being sick because it costs money.
@aknativenews.bsky.social · 4h agoThis is a long and excellent interview of Tom Begich. If you want to understand why he’s the best person to be governor this lays it out and how Tom is different than JKT and why JKT should be ranked behind Tom Begich.
Alaska Public Media@alaskapublic.org · 2h agoIt can be tough to pick a favorite in a crowded field, so as the primary nears, Alaska Public Media is conducting interviews with some of the top candidates in the race. We’ll hear first from former Anchorage state Sen. Tom Begich, one of two top Democrats competing for votes.
I tried scaring off this trash bear this morning on 2nd Street in Juneau, and so did a lot of other people, but it wouldn’t be deterred. Not a good sign for its future. #Alaska

For the 0-2 followers here who have ever wondered what the ridge traverse segment between The Ramp and Mt. Williwaw is like, here is my trip report from Sat. It is 2.5 km of Class 3/4 gendarmes on top of the ridge for 2 hours, or a 3-hour, side-hilling suffer-fest below the ridge. 0 out of 5 stars.

Ambler has gone 5 months without water and sewer. Fixes could take months.
According to the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, about 85 percent of Ambler's main water lines are cracked, unable to hold pressure, and require replacement.

Great to know that everyone is helpless to do anything to stop Carol Beecher and the Alaska Undemocratic Department of Elections. What happens if the election denying #akgop or Trump doesn’t like the outcome of a race in November? Are we going to be unable to do anything? #FreeAndFairElections

Unbelievable that this @adn.com article didn’t even mention proud founding DOGE Caucus members Alaska Senator Sullivan and Rep Begich3 supported this wholeheartedly. They did this to our neighbors, their families, and our communities. They should lose their jobs for this alone. #akelect
