This is the future that the right wants in Alaska. The Pearl Creek STEAM charter approval will help clear this path.

An early test of the future Mamdani-Trump dynamic? Security clearance.
Before taking office as NYC's mayor, Mamdani will need a top-level security clearance from the federal government — something Trump has revoked before to punish his political enemies.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.
