Alaska is west of Canada. It’s further north of much of Canada, but Canada has land further north than Alaska. Alaska is further north than the lower 48 states. That’s why you have to go thru Canada.

“Peltola campaign contends with fallout from allegations of hostile behavior Political observers say they aren’t sure claims of angry outbursts by candidate will have much of an effect on U.S. Senate race. Mari Kanagy Anchorage DailyNews” Better than slavishly supporting would be king like Sullivan

All you need to do is highlight a word and then choose “Look Up” and you get an answer. (You may have to take an extra step “Search Web”). Then you get a quick pop up with the definition. No need to sound like an old stick in the mud. (Saves me from that fate several times a day.)

Polls say: •Abdul beats MAGA Mike Rogers •Angie tied w/MAGA Ashley Moody •Gina beats MAGA Greg Abbot Thing is: Polls Do Not Vote. To actually win, we must keep organizing, donating, & registering voters like we’re 10 points behind. Don’t slow down. Sprint faster. That’s the path to actual victory.

Terrific. Share with your reluctant voter family and friends. Anyone who says: I don’t vote.

One antidote is voting. Another is convincing five friends to vote too. Then chocolate.

Black text on white page that reads:

In 1882, 10,000 workers marched up Broadway in the first-ever Labor Day parade. Led by democratic socialists and organized by New York’s unions, they rallied the movement that went on to win us weekends, safety standards, overtime pay, a minimum wage, and social security.

None of those victories were guaranteed. And none are permanent.

We created the first-in-the-nation Office of Worker Power to put the full weight of City Hall behind the people who keep New York running. On Labor Day, we honor the workers who came before us by fighting for the workers who come next.

Happy Labor Day, New York. The future of worker power is ours to build. Learn more at nyc.gov/workerpower.

Attempts to assimilate everyone to a white Protestant, English speaking unity haven’t obliterated indigenous languages and cultures. Close in some cases, but people know, deep down, who they are. Appreciating our diverse ways of knowing the world makes us all better people.

Thanks Andrew. Not sure why he wants to run so bad. Does he really think he can win? We’re back to the 2022 House Race with Palin and Nick fighting. But this time there will be 3 GOP fighting. But, who knows, the lineup might still change despite the deadlines.

“abusive litigant” - perfect term to describe him. People judged to be a “abusive litigant” should have strict time and appeal limits so they don’t drag out cases forever.

Yes. Of course. But can we see a pattern to help one party over another? Like cutting Dan J. off the ballot?

Corruption is not easy to explain in sound bites. It’s often well hidden through dummy organizations and other sleight of hand maneuvers. Katie Phang does an amazing job of clearly connecting all the dots. Well worth watching the whole video. Then follow up on the denials of your local officials.

I’m imagining Stephen Miller in hand cuffs on a flight to Mogadishu, then quickly transferred to a Somali prison where his is the only pale face. (Miller overwhelms all my instincts to be kind and find some goodness in everyone)

I think they had their eye on the ball and want election chaos. A Dem House will investigate the justices‘ corruption. And KJB knows that too and is just being polite as she sticks it to them.

Every accusation from Trump is based on what he does himself. He has no imagination beyond that to create original attacks.

They erased Republican from Dan J on the ballot and added incumbent to the senator‘s name. So I’m guessing most people who voted for Dan J knew what they were doing and did it because the GOP tried to get him off the ballot.
