As important and gratifying as it is to holler at the opposition when the get stuff wrong, it’s even more important to hold our own to account.

I love this for us.

They need to give Levar Burton a game show that’s like Battle of the Books for adults

VA healthcare saved my life. It allowed me to build my business.

In the richest country on Earth, we can guarantee decent healthcare for all.

Matt Schultz is running for Congress *and* you’re running for Governor. Got it.

Oh, Kelly Nash has been trying to report us as terrorists to the troopers and FBI since June. 🤣

I have seen the robot face in my compost bin, and now I can’t unsee it.

We had a great little sign making party today, and I’m pretty stoked about our No Kings rally on Saturday.

Of note: this appears to be her first social media post since losing.

Failed FNSB assembly candidate Haney picked it up as well.

Screenshot of a Facebook post by Barbara Haney with text:

Hey Alaska, Meet Carl Bishop. University of Alaska Fairbanks Dean of Community and Technical College.
Here's what he has to say about Congressman Nick Begich. Let's make him famous.

Her post contains a screenshot of a social media post by Carl Bishop • 5m
“Hey magat begich, nice try, piggy. You make me sick. Enjoy your remaining 15 months in office because we are going to send your traitor ass packing.”

He attended the Statesman Academy in 2024, along with Allard and Wright. i thought I read about him attending another training earlier in his career, but I may have misremembered.

There were also two seats on the City of Fairbanks city council, both won by the moderately progressive incumbents (both women).

And awful Kelly Nash’s (ostensibly slightly less awful) daughter Hannah Ekalook lost!

Ken Miller @akskierken.bsky.social · 2d

Fairbanksans are starting to notice that, and that might be a good thread to pull leading up to his next race.

Haney’s social media activity certainly didn’t help her.

Those groups are hyper-partisan in their suppression of bad news about conservatives, such as deleting posts about sex offenders at Bible Baptist Church.

Tomaszewski’s wife Harmony is an admin of Set Church’s “Fairbanks, Alaska” Facebook group, and founded the Facebook group “Breaking News - Fairbanks - What’s Happening” right after he got back from a Christian Nationalist training a few years ago.

I think my wife and I have a strong marriage, but I’m at Lowes standing an aisle over from a lady with two young children who is buying a Load Center (aka breaker box / electrical panel) via telephonic instruction, and I don’t think we would survive that.

1. I’m glad we’re getting icebreakers.

2. I’m glad we’re shopping with our friends.

3. Doesn’t seem like it contributes much to “greatness”, tho…

Ken Miller @akskierken.bsky.social · 3d

While they aren’t paying them?

That’s a brave choice.

WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

The image is a sepia/black and white toned image of the Portland Frog protester, simply labelled FROG
