I very much agree with @dermotcole.bsky.social The legislature must act to overturn what can be clawed back from the Trump regime. Dunleavy and Dahlstrom *should* resign in shame, but they don’t even try to serve Alaskans!! www.dermotcole.com/reportingfro...

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.
The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
Let me see if I have this right. Kicking an ICE car makes you a domestic terrorist and is punishable by death. But bringing an AR-15 to a BLM protest and killing two people who were sitting on the ground makes you a hero? Keep at it folks. There are fractures & we need to turn them into cracks.
In all seriousness, it's a good thing that these ICE goons are stupid enough to keep announcing their criminal intentions to people recording them.
