I have my absentee ballot and my big question is why do I need a witness signature? I'm home with my teen who can only drive if I'm in the car, I had foot and ankle surgery so I'm not mobile and my husband is at work for a month. My cat qualifies as being over 18, shall I add his paw print? #Alaska

“The filings also state that both GCI Liberty & Malone have asked for a waiver that would allow them to keep their financial documents confidential. Under state law & regulation, those documents would ordinarily be available for public inspection as part of regulators' approval process.” #alaskasky

A printable, shareable reminder for Alaskans. Don't talk to cops. Period. Full-stop. End of sentence. Tell your friends. Tell your neighbor. Tell your mom. Tell your coworker. Tell your auntie. Tell your kids. Yes, all of them from patrol cops to ICE agents. Even if they're family. #alaskasky
DON'T TALK TO COPS

"AM I BEING DETAINED?"
IF NO: "MAY I GO?"

IF YES: "I WANT TO SPEAK TO A LAWYER AND INVOKE MY FIFTH AMENDMENT RIGHT TO REMAIN

SILENT."

NOTHING ELSE.

NOT ONE WORD, NOT ONE EXPRESSION. YOU CANNOT TALK YOURSELF OUT OF ARREST BUT YOU CAN TALK YOURSELF INTO IT.

IN ALASKA, IF YOU ARE NOT DRIVING A VEHICLE, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS IF A COP ASKS FOR IT BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO PROVIDE YOUR ID OR ANYTHING ELSE

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

So, around 75 people showed up to protest in Fairbanks, which isn’t bad for it being well below freezing. Lots of supportive honking! If you’re in the area, another protest is planned for 4–6pm at Rep. Begich’s Fairbanks office: 542 4th Avenue, Suite 204
