JKT is a dedicated public servant, a brilliant mind, and just an all-around great person. He has dedicated years in service to Alaskans and now wants to continue as governor. Very excited for the launch of his campaign! Please consider donating: jktforak.com
JKT for Gov@jktforak

My name is Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, but most people call me JKT. I'm running for governor because we deserve a state government that works for us. For too long, we've had leadership more focused on DC politics than delivering real solutions.

After returning from an incubation break, the female Barred Owl gets a late-night snack (a rodent) delivered by her mate. During incubation, the male provides the female food while she cares for the eggs. Barred Owls are mostly nocturnal hunters. youtu.be/E9j4ZEuHDJQ

Scientists expect dire global warming of 1.4/1.5°C by 2026 heralding the final collapse of major ecosystems, extreme crop-wrecking weather, rapid mass extinction, and yet more warming with vicious feedbacks, and yet media ignore their calls to abolish perpetual economic growth.🧵

The obsession of the capitalist class with "innovation" sits awkwardly alongside their insistence that "there is no alternative". We are allowed to imagine new gadgets but not a just economy.

I keep thinking about how, with two months notice that this ruling was coming, the democratic-controlled congress not only *didn't* codify abortion rights, but overwhelmingly passed a security bill protecting these SCOTUS justices

This is something that @jbouie and @rtraister have both been writing about. The gap between the Democratic leadership, and younger progressives on the question of “How Bad Is It?” is just *enormous*.
Dylan Wells@dylanewells

Just asked Whip Clyburn about the Dobbs decision: “It’s a little anticlimactic, I think we all expected this. And I'm hopeful, you know I have to read the decision to see exactly the extent to which we can move legislatively to respond to it.”

I don’t doubt that Elon Musk will use this website to crush labor organizing efforts across this country.

$10,400,000,000 NYPD budget and they couldn’t get their radios to work in a crisis, the surveillance cameras “malfunctioned” and no officers prevented anything or apprehended anyone. But politicians plan to just throw more money at it, no questions asked.

Here's a fact you won't hear on Fox News today. Exxon, Chevron, and Conoco made $46 billion in profit in 2021. Now they're using 40% of those profits for stock buybacks. Big Oil is raking it in, raising prices, and taking advantage of the war in Ukraine to push for more drilling.

Members of Congress trading stocks while having access to sensitive info + writing policy is already bad, but buying up defense contractor stock while receiving classified briefings on Ukraine and voting on US involvement? 👹👹👹 textbook case as to why this should be illegal

In related news, we’ve heard that we’re soon getting a hearing date on banning members of Congress from trading individual stock while in office. There’s still a lot of resistance in Congress, though. Keep pushing. Because lots of ppl are really trying to protect this behavior⬇️

Just out: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought stock in America's LARGEST defense contractor, Lockheed Martin $LMT, a day before tweeting "War and rumors of war is incredibly profitable..." (report condensed).
