"It is pure insanity that Israel is now more than six months into this war and the Israeli military leadership — and virtually the entire political class — has allowed Netanyahu to continue to pursue a “total victory” there, including probably soon plunging deep into Rafah, without any exit plan or Arab partner lined up to step in once the war ends. "

@seachanger the calculus of real politik here is mind-boggling, I hate everything about it, but it's better than what is happening now. But it seems almost as much a pipe dream as two states, Bibi is such a monster. The mild words from Blinken are nauseating.

Gobsmacked at the details of the shadow voucher program for private schools that has been operating despite explicit AK Constitutional language https://www.dermotcole.com/reportingfromalaska/2024/4/19/anchorage-catholic-junior-senior-high-took-stand-against-using-public-funds-for-tuition

I am stunned. Bravo to Sec. Haaland and Joe Biden. It's worth reviewing this reporting from 2021 on the Ambler Road and Seth Kantner's 2014 essay. https://www.politico.com/interactives/2021/how-joe-bidens-green-climate-agenda-threatens-the-alaskan-wilderness/

Yes! Read the ruling! No “shadow voucher” program using state funds!! Judge rules Alaska correspondence school reimbursements unconstitutional https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/education/2024/04/12/judge-rules-alaska-correspondence-school-reimbursements-unconstitutional/

@seachanger @CarrieinFbx I am worried about the backlash as people have become very used to the funding and for many legit purposes. could of course fix this if not for general dysfunction in the House majority. AK Constitution is pretty clear on this one.

@CarrieinFbx @seachanger The more I read about it the more outrageous it is. Grateful to the plaintiffs. This really must be why they want state control of charter schools.

I think the Governor's education veto helped the school bond.

@seachanger when a centrist newspaper publishes a loooong list of incompetency examples and you are still neck and neck with an über-competent woman...???

Florida's Supreme Court just nuked the right to privacy despite strong language in their state constitution. Here are the relevant articles of FL and AK constitutions. Worrisome to think a simple change in Alaska courts could do the same here. But also, FL is going to flip blue, because this is BS that women won't put up with. https://wapo.st/3IYT8ii

This is different because it is a direct question on abortion, nothing else to muddy the water. However, they will need 60% to pass it. That's a tough lift. Floridians are gonna hear a lot about how it is the last place in the South where women can go.

BUT, guess what else is on the ballot....making dope legal. So an extra bump in turnout?

It's also a voter repression state. But I think they will do it.

I admire an athlete who uses their platform for advocacy. Bravo, Gus. I dropped in on Instagram and 🤢 the best I can hope is that the hateful comments are just bots. https://www.northernjournal.com/p/an-alaska-olympian-went-to-dc-to

Misinfo in an age where sex education is outlawed. Lots of issues with contraception, but overall better than trying to get an illegal abortion. 🎁 -link
