Friends don't let friends vote for fake candidates, even if they are the only Democrat in the race. Alaskans: Vote Bill Hill for US House (I'm ranking Jim McDermott second).
If you must rank a Democrat first even though he's in prison and has never set foot in #Alaska, rank Bill Hill second! 🙏
Eric Hafner's in a NY federal prison since 2022 — threatened judges and cops, out in 2036. Never set foot in Alaska. Somehow he's on our House ballot as a Democrat.

The one race where a blue vote can screw us. Splits the vote, hands Begich the seat. Vote Bill Hill.

Shocked he's not GOP TBH. #IJS
Democrats in Alaska: please be sure all of your friends know that Eric Hafner is not a real candidate. Rank Bill Hill #1 and skip the rest. #BillHillForAlaska.

Fortunately, Ohio Dan's is not the only name on the ballot. He isn't even the only Dan Sullivan on it! 😆 I will rank @marypeltola.com first, Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. second, Gerald L. Heikes third.
Senator Dan Sullivan-Alaska wants a temporary pause on diesel exports.

Now. In September. Weeks before he's on the ballot against Mary Peltola.

The conflict in Iran didn't start last week. The high prices didn't start last week. So what did?

A ballot with his name on it.

A little too late, Dan.

Actually, America IS at war. Selfish billionaires are escalating the economic war they have waged against the other 99% of us since the 1980s. Translation: sacrifice "for our country" means "for the kleptocrats" who will receive the lion's share of $4T in proposed tax cuts.
#inequality #oligarchy
the rightwing influencers are trying hard to flip the narrative to “it’s your duty to sacrifice for your country” like during WWII. except WE ARE NOT AT FUCKING WAR you walnuts.
I cannot believe, and I will keep repeating, that I cannot for the life of me understand how the fuck the Trump admin thinks that "None of you get treats! You will buy EXPENSIVE things and LIKE IT." is a good idea when you literally ran on lowering prices on day one.
