For the next two years Congress will pass hate and exclusion bills that will never become law. A comprehensive list of their hate and division can be used to wipe the floor with them in 2024.

Sacramento County is opening Cal Expo for unhoused guests starting today, ahead of the next round of storms. They've never done that before. Story to come.

Classified docs - a shopping analogy: As Biden walked out, the buzzer went off and he realized he mistakenly failed to pay for an item in his cart. He went back in and returned it. Trump stuffed items in his pockets. When the buzzer sounded, he ran to his car and peeled out.

I felt lucky to see my Capitol office for the first time today. I look forward to getting sworn in next week and working for the people of North Anchorage and all the people of Alaska. #akleg

Grateful my plan to start a training program for students of color has blossomed into 2 cohorts of aspiring journalists working to diversify Fresno newsrooms. Thanks to @calendow, @JBMcClatchyFdn, @microsoft, @eprock & other funders for believing in our mission. @fresno_state

"How can we call ourselves a winter city while cutting snowplowing? Redefine streets as snow storage areas." Dec 12, 2000 Peter Dunlap-Shohl editorial cartoon from the Anchorage Daily News, published 22 years ago today. #alaskahistory #anchoragehistory @dunlapshohl @adndotcom

Probably the most embarrassing piece to come out of the NYT politics desk in the past 6 years, and that’s saying a lot

1/3 A Fen Skater christened the ice today as conditions proved perfect for the first time in years. Skating over the frozen flooded fields and meadows has been a part of Fenland life for hundreds of years.

Sinema is so Gen X lmao. You kids don’t know - a whole generation believes that your personality is just a little museum of the mainstream things you reject. So indie rock!

MAGA folks in my comments saying we shouldn’t elect people with bad credit… My brother in Christ, you literally voted for a President who had multiple companies go bankrupt.

Just applied to an apartment in DC where I told the guy that my credit was really bad. He said I’d be fine. Got denied, lost the apartment, and the application fee. This ain’t meant for people who don’t already have money.

Just got laid off from BuzzFeed and I’m truly heartbroken. I have so much passion for writing and to get this news right before Christmas is truly devastating. If anyone is looking for a writer—I’m available for hire. 🙁

If you want to toss out the Constitution to become president, you’re tossing out the document that *creates* the presidency. So…”game” over. You want to be a dictator. It’s that simple.

I refuse to accept an economic system in which school teachers pay a higher tax rate than billionaire investors.

1. It's my birthday today and I only want one thing. I want these two women, Niloofar Hamedi and Elahe Mohammadi, to be famous. Niloofar and Elahe are Iranian reporters who reported on the death of Mahsa Zhina Amini. They are now in prison and could face the death penalty.
