NEW: At least 18 voting centers in Alaska Native communities have not opened despite early voting having already started in the state last week. “There is no legal excuse for the failure to open these sites,” one state senator wrote to the Alaska elections chief.

Hey Bluesky: I know y’all love _West Wing_ but the idea that Lisa Murkowski will leave the Republican caucus for love of country is absolute West Wing fantasy toddler stuff. Here she is headlining a fundraiser for her Republican colleague and Trump sycophant Dan S. Sullivan. She is a fraud.

Man I’m getting tired of seeing Sullivan’s mug in my mailbox.

Mood at Alaska Federation of Natives convention in Anchorage right now. Heating fuel is up to $17/gallon in some communities right now, so it’s easy to see why.

True dat.

The 60th annual Alaska Federation of Natives convention kicks off Thursday in Anchorage, a cultural extravaganza that draws thousands of people from all corners of Alaska for traditional dancing, Native art and political discourse. www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

THREAD. A *big* ask, I know, but I'm trying to seek out a US publisher for this book this week & any further orders from Blackwell's will REALLY help that cause. Amazingly, they do free international delivery, which makes it cheaper than buying many books locally. blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

Public awareness of landslide tsunamis has surged since the second-tallest tsunami on record hit Tracy Arm last year. No one was hurt, but experts say the near miss highlighted a threat that appears to be intensifying. And scientists face a long list of challenges in finding a solution.

Even before the Tracy Arm tsunami last year, we'd considered screening the Norwegian feature film, The Wave (2015), as a sort of PSA. Perhaps we'll re-visit that idea.

The owner of X is almost single-handedly funding the Republican midterm election campaigns. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

"Sullivan abandoned that position after Trump was elected, never mentioning it again." This is basically true of the entire party, and the rw media. For my money, anyone who still puts an R after their name, at this point, is ineligible for office.

This chart in this morning's NYT is awfully misleading. Suggested edits in red to avoid any confusion.

TODAY. Trump is NOT welcome in the Mat-Su or anywhere in Alaska. 1:30–4 pm, Newcomb Park, 891 E Parks Hwy, Wasilla. Black Water Railroad brings the music. Snacks and hot drinks provided. Grab a neighbor and come be loud. 📣

HOW POPULAR IS TRUMP IN ALASKA? In advance of Trump’s visit to whip up MAGA loyalists in Wasilla tomorrow, here are our latest survey numbers for his broad popularity, or LACK of it, in Alaska. Alaska Survey Research October 1-3, 2026 N=1,669 registered Alaska voters 🧵1/12

Crime and the City Solution in Wings of Desire

FACT: Dave MAGA Bootlicker Bronson is more concerned with how teachers are "indoctrinating" Alaskan students and the "theology" of education — instead of being concerned with education outcomes!

No speech, title, or presidential ambition can scrub that death toll from Rubio’s legacy. In this upcoming election, from local races to national contests, voting against anyone running as a Republican reminds the entire party that its power has limits.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

The entire Republican Party and broader conservative movement need to be smashed to bits. Donor networks gotta be exposed and disrupted. All the outside machinery needs to be dismantled. And electorally it must lose over and over and over and over. We need a truth and reconciliation commission.

Alaskans are sick and tired of DC politicians making life more expensive for everyone while they keep lining their own pockets. It’s time for change.
