Okay. I know this is long-winded. But I really hope y'all cast your 1 & only primary vote in the way most likely to lead to a good AK & not to a Bernadette or Dave dystopia. The other reasons I'd point to include a.) the campaign being policy-focused vs. vibes-based & b.) Julia Hnilicka Lt. Gov!

Wow. This is getting pretty sketchy. The Alaska Division of elections used outdated data to justify removing a bunch of citizens from the voter roles and given the opportunity to fix it they were just, like, nope.

Anchorage Daily News@adn.com · 2d ago

The Division of Elections will not immediately restore over 3,000 voters to the state rolls, after it moved them to “inactive” status based on outdated information regarding their citizenship status. www.adn.com/politics/202...

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

Don’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John Washington

I’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

ICE IN FAIRBANKS Thursday July 30. ICE left the federal building around 8am 7/30 in dark SUVs, agents are in brown vests. If you have the signal app, keep an eye on it. If you don’t have signal, today would be a great day to start. Dm this account if you want help. #alaska #fairbanks

FAIRBANKS: ICE is active today. Thursday July 30 as of 8:00am
"We have credible reports of probable ICE activity in downtown Fairbanks yesterday and today.
Approximately 4-6 dark SUVs, at least some with normal Alaska plates, and 8-12 officers in earth-brown vests. We will update as information develops.
ICE seen driving from the federal building downtown around 8am 7/30.4-6 dark SUVs, 8-12 ICE agents in brown vests
ICE vehicles seen downtown Wednesday, July 29 in Fairbanks, AK

Reminder to vote ✅ YES on 1, ❌ NO on 2. Ballot measure 1 would restore campaign donation limits and get big $$ out of #Akleg #Akelect politics. Ballot measure 2 (only on the Nov. ballot) is another well-financed attempt to repeal nonpartisan primaries, finance laws, and ranked choice voting. 🤮

JKT should drop out. No candidate from any party should accept hundreds of thousands $$$ from AI companies and then have the audacity to pretend to be against data centers. While we’re at it, everyone who accepts money from fossil fuel companies + AIPAC should drop out, too. #AkLeg #AkElect
