Juneau came out for Minneapolis this evening. Maybe 250 people under a light snowfall.

Juneau rally for Ukraine and democracy this afternoon. Some good talks: Jenifer spoke about the need to use these rallies to build for the future by making connections and exchanging ideas; Karla spoke about the importance of action at the local level as well as national.

The DOGE claim to get rid of waste was a pretext to make unpopular policy changes. The Trump “strong man” with his “agenda” is a corrupt and inefficient way forward.

Bruce Botelho spoke at our rally today about a new or reborn republic. We can't just be defensive, we need an optimistic vision. Thought of the lines by Auden, "In the desert of the heart, let the healing fountain start..." Also Faulkner:

Rally for democracy in Juneau today. The national rally pics remind me of a movie scene I vaguely remember from my childhood: uneasy British officers in Boston early in the Revolution, looking out at a surrounding, growing sea of American campfires.

Not a very satisfying response from Sen Murkowski on the IG firings.

But how many of you have this rare Sullivan?

When the journalist William Shirer went back to Germany for the Nuremberg Trials, he found that the people he talked to didn’t blame Hitler for their disaster:

Alaska Senator Murkowski does the right thing. To vote against Hegseth nomination.

My sister Joanne sends get-out-the-vote postcards to Dems through "Postcards to Swing States" turnoutpac.org/postcards/. She writes with friends. Friends, and a glass of wine, make for convivial postcarding. I hope there aren’t wine stains on the cards, but they sent 700 last election cycle!

Sent my first 8 "get-out-the-vote" postcards for this election cycle today. "Postcards to Voters" has scripts and addresses. Here's a link: website:https://postcardstovoters.org . Lots of elections this year, and mid-terms next year. Today’s cards go to a state house race in Minnesota.

Many people think that Trump’s supporters will wake up and leave him when his policies hurt them badly. I’m not sure. These people aren’t going to give up their delusions easily. Here’s what William Shirer found when he returned to Germany shortly after the end of WWII:

Alaska’s Senator Sullivan is almost giddy over Trump’s cabinet picks:

Trump’s deportation round-ups will facilitate neighborly revenge. Do you covet your neighbor’s goods? Get ‘em cheap. Covet your neighbor’s wife? The chaos will bring lots of divorces.
