Good history reminder of US role in the world and how Trump has/is destroying trust in the US.
Recommend watching this excellent, clear summary. "...Even a change of government in 2028 won’t be enough to fix it. Trust is hard earned and easily lost. I believe it will take a generation for the US to recover if it ever does. My thanks to Fareed Zakaria for the clip."

The book Capitol Crude, by Lisa Weissler, chronicles the decades of failed attempts to fund and build an Alaska natural gas pipeline. Dan Sullivan claims credit for latest attempts. Is the Russian funding his October Surprise? www.rawstory.com/russia-alask...

1/ Viktor Orbán lost. But his wealthy allies, political networks & handpicked officials didn’t just disappear. Poland shows how much power a defeated ruling party can retain. You can throw the politicians out and still be governed by what they left behind #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
Is how debates should proceed when a candidate refuses to participate. Florida voters, do the right thing!
Holy shit. Rick Jackson didn’t just duck a debate with Keisha Lance Bottoms. He left her debating an empty podium. And the moderator made damn sure everyone knew it. Moderator Jeff Hullinger: “Mayor Bottoms, you may now ask a question to your opponent represented by the empty podium.”

Today is Indigenous Peoples' Day. A reminder that Columbus was a genocidal fascist and human trafficker, and deserves no honor or recognition. Instead,here's why now 30+ states have adopted recognition of Indigenous Peoples' Day,and why we need to make it all 50. www.qasimrashid.com/p/today-is-i...

Attempts to assimilate everyone to a white Protestant, English speaking unity haven’t obliterated indigenous languages and cultures. Close in some cases, but people know, deep down, who they are. Appreciating our diverse ways of knowing the world makes us all better people.
“Kutulagaaw: The Tlingit-Russian Battles,” which is believed to be the first Tlingit opera in recorded history and features an all-Indigenous cast, will open in Juneau on Friday, Sept. 11, for a two-week run. www.adn.com/arts/2026/09...
“abusive litigant” - perfect term to describe him. People judged to be a “abusive litigant” should have strict time and appeal limits so they don’t drag out cases forever.
As is his usual- #47 is attempting to outrun the courts to enact his agenda. He is an abusive litigant and has been all his life he enjoys the pursuit of his own agenda with the goal of winning at any cost. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
Corruption is not easy to explain in sound bites. It’s often well hidden through dummy organizations and other sleight of hand maneuvers. Katie Phang does an amazing job of clearly connecting all the dots. Well worth watching the whole video. Then follow up on the denials of your local officials.
🚨 ICYMI: This is one of the most offensive and egregious things I’ve ever covered (and that’s saying a lot seeing how it’s Florida):

Listen to this candidate! The nation needs 100 senators with this passion, reasoning, and expertise. Michigan, the rest of us are counting on you to hear thru all the negative campaigning from AIPAC and all the corporate PAC lies about him and put Abdul El-Sayed in the US Senate.
There's nothing radical about Abdul's platform. youtu.be/D6ag12rrs-s?...
“I want my mind to age like fine wine, not like milk.”
As long as you keep your mind open to learning new things, you can know better, and you can do better. I'm glad I'm not the exact same person I was back then. Some stuff was good, but some not so good. I want my mind to age like fine wine, not like milk.
Fran Ulmer is among the best of the best Alaskan public servants.
Honored to earn the endorsement of former Lt. Governor Fran Ulmer. Her decades of service to Alaska as lieutenant governor, mayor of Juneau, state representative, and UAA Chancellor have made a lasting impact. Thank you, Fran, for your support.
