We'll be out in the streets with free radical leftist lit on Saturday. Find us & grab a few zines!

Screenshot of the Livestream of the Municipality of Anchorage's Regular Assembly Meeting - July 15, 2025. The screenshot was taken while a single member was speaking so that member is in the frame. She has dark brown hair & is wearing a light blue button down top & a computer screen can be seen sitting on the desk in front of her.
Assembly member Erin Baldwin-Day speaking against AO 2025-74

What the assembly approved was open season for lawsuits against the municipality that taxpayers will foot the bill for.
Silvers, Perez-Verdia, & Volland are a huge disappointment to progressive constituents.
#alaskasky #ancleg
Volland, you do realize that folks who reject resources when offered aren't just being obstinate or whatever you're alleging tonight.
Their refusal comes after a lifetime of being victimized & criminalized by the systems that operate such resources.
Trust is earned.

Assembly member Silvers caping for criminalization. Disappointing.
I definitely appreciate Baldwin-Day, Martinez, & Rivera for being voices of compassionate progressive values in governance.

The audacity of Assembly member McCormick to pretend he gives any kind of a shit about people experiencing housing instability or mental illness is fucking ridiculous.
Criminalization of homelessness is not a solution or a pathway to a solution.

I left after my testimony tonight but the tally I kept in the queue up until then was overwhelmingly opposed to AO74. The Anchorage community doesn't want to criminalize vulnerable neighbors. Lets build real solutions that actually benefit people instead of perpetuating harm.

Ron Alleva, the guy who tried to poison houseless people, blames those homeless people for all the bad things that have ever happened to him. I dunno dude, I feel like maybe you are the problem there.
#alaskasky #ancleg
Goecker, McCormick & Myers trying to paint themselves as champions of the people's voice is absolutely laughable. You have got to be kidding. Don't be fooled by the theatrics.
#alaskasky #ancleg
LaFrance characterizing camps as unacceptable & inappropriate but not the conditions that lead neighbors in our community to being homeless. Criminalization of homelessness is not a solution.

A fire burning just beyond a treeline. There's a fire truck staged in the left side of the frame and several large, spray painted signs reading, "We are all the same people," "We feel as though we have to fight for ours wouldn't you do the same," and "Coming to a neighborhood near you."
Three fires burning just beyond the treeline. A person with dark clothing takes a picture in the left side of the frame, a person wearing hi-vis gear is moving a collapsed tent, a police vehicle & trash collection truck are in the right side of the frame.
Multiple fires broke out during the camp abatement at Davis Park today. It appeared that people had largely cleared the area & I didn't see any serious injuries. Hoping everyone is safe.

The only neoliberal solution to any thing is more fucking cops, more fucking surveillance, & more fucking violence.
Why actually address a problem when you can just beat it into submission?
LaFrance was elected to clean up Bronson's bs, instead it's just more of the same.

Anchorage Police Dept & Alaska State Troopers are pulling over Alaska Native people for the sole purpose of demanding ID & proof of citizenship in the Anchorage area. AK Legal Support & AK Native Justice Ctr are scrambling to help but aren't prepared to handle this.

Last week, the Spring 2025 election results for the Anchorage Assembly and School Board were ratified and I'm giving an official look at the campaigns that were effective and ineffective from the perspective of the candidates' use of anti-trans rhetoric.
#alaskasky #ancleg #akpol
Remember that time when Anchorage had a mayor who's solution for homelessness was a fucking tent.
After, of course, he bussed a bunch of vulnerable people to the woods with zero resources.
A real humanitarian, that Bronson.

A Town Hall event with people seated in rows of chairs facing about 20 politicians seated at the front. Many people are wearing red in support of public school funding.
I managed my time today very well (clap for me) & was able to attend the Anchorage Legislative Delegation Town Hall at UAA.
Heard some fantastic testimony in support of HB69 & HB78 (School funding & public service pensions).
