Medusa contemplating her realm.

The importance of salmon might be a novel idea to the Lower 48, but every Alaskan understands. Fish is how we feed our families, drive our economy, and sustain our way of life. I’m the only candidate fighting for our fisheries, not the factory trawlers.

The knock-on effect is that if you really want to do something to help others, you might not be able to as with the current cost of living, you'd not earn enough to survive.

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

Vote. Vote early if you can. Vote.

The legend himself 🇺🇸 Grateful for the support from Shotgun Willie!

Yesterday, Brazil showed the world that the will of the people is stronger than the authoritarians who try to suppress it. Congratulations President Lula and congratulations Brazil.

Yet another entrenched authoritarian defeated yesterday in Serbia. As the United States approaches a critical midterm election, Serbia shows that we can win despite uphill authoritarian conditions. It can be done. It takes all of us, especially young people. Timothy Snyder

Victory, triumph, success, celebration. There are worse cards that this Democrat could pull 8 days before a US midterm election. I'll take it. Now be sure to vote.

The world needed hope right now - and Brazil delivered it. After a wave of pro-American far-right candidates swept Latin America, Lula defied the odds. The world's fourth largest democracy has been saved from far-right authoritarianism. Here's to hope ✊

Nothing and no one should stand between New Yorkers and their right to vote — least of all the government.
 Early voting is happening now through November 1. Election Day is November 3. See you at the polls!

If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Our kids need to be set up for success, and as governor that will be one of my top priorities. I will launch ColoradoCorps, giving young people the chance to learn skills for careers in education, law enforcement, nursing, counseling, and firefighting.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who spared a thought for my country today, who amplified information about the coup d’état attempt, and worried about Brazil’s democratic future—the world’s democratic future. We won! Women won! The Amazon won! Young people won! Democracy won! Hope won!

We will be launching the Danish translation of David Graeber’s essay “On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs” in Århus Thursday 5. November 17:00-19:00 at Æsken, Ny Munkegade 24, 8000 Århus. The text will be introduced in a conversation between @candmageloes.bsky.social, Æsken, myself, and the audience.

Serbia, Brasil, now let's get Netanyahu, and a wipe out in the 2026 midterms.

A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.

I know that everyone is focused on Trump's attacks in California and Alaska. My team is fighting in court in both places. But understand the fight for free and fair elections is much broader. Elias Law Group is currently litigating 92 voting and election cases in 42 states plus DC.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

“Georgia Without Ivanishvili!” Thousands have gathered in Tbilisi to protest Ivanishvili’s one-party rule and the ban on opposition parties. Day 697 of uninterrupted protests in Georgia. #GeorgiaProtests ✊🇬🇪🇪🇺 📹 Mo Se

What is the general feel around phone banking for campaigns. Effective? Not effective? Outdated? It feels like we are all in a stuck way of campaigning. We are doing what worked then, because, well it worked then. Now? If I don't know who's calling, I don't answer. You? Better ways?

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Elias Law Group has filed to fight DOJ's lawsuit to rig the Alaska Senate election. We will win this case, Mary will win this election, she will be certified and seated.

The protests are huge in France. The people will not be silenced. It truly is the Socialist Spring for Europe.

NYPD arresting an ICE goon for trying to steal someone off the streets of NYC. RESPECT!!!

Some cities it's just not worth fucking with

If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

What if we didn't accept any of this as normal and just imprisoned every tech bro and billionaire and dissolved every private equity fund and used all the money to provide unlimited housing and food and energy for everyone?

Well said @zackpolanski.bsky.social 👏👏

AOC: "What the Trump administration is doing in targeting trans people is to get everyone on board with supporting defunding their own civil rights ... understand that when they attack trans girls in sports, they're also attacking all women's ability to stand up against their abusers"

AOC: "They call people communists, they call them this or that. But really what it is is they're afraid of a waitress in the House and a logger in the Senate"

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Every gothic horror:

I needed to keep quiet about this but this is what I was working on earlier this year. My publication “Harming Children: The Effects of the UK puberty-blocker ban” was evidence used for this! I had to submit a lengthy affidavit via NZ local trans group PATHA. Let’s hope we can overturn more now.

Greece has joined the European protests in France, Spain, Italy and Albania. We are sick and tired of billionaires and their blatant theft.
