While Rep Eastman being removed from the minority caucus and some committees is something, it is still unacceptable that there is a fascist in the State House at all. We are not satisfied until Eastman is fully removed from the House and fascism no longer has power in Alaska
Statement on @RepChrisTuck’s comments about BLM and the Oathkeepers:
“Chris Tuck should be ashamed of his comments equating the actions of white supremacists in defense of
white supremacy with the actions of people fighting for justice”
Full statement in thread:

In our Town Hall, Alaska Reps agree that David Eastman is a white supremacist. So why are they so reluctant to do anything against Eastman?
There is absolutely no place for white supremacy in Alaska. It’s beyond time to take concrete action to #ExpelEastman#holdthevote
Our Town Hall was a success!! Thank you to the Alaska Representatives and public for attending.
Stay tuned for our next steps in our campaign to #ExpelEastman

An effort to take disciplinary action against Rep. David Eastman, R-Wasilla, seemed to lose steam Thursday, following a presentation about the far-right militia group the Oath Keepers.

Today, the Alaska State House voted 23 - 16 for a “Sense of the House” that condemns the January 6th attacks on the Capitol
This "Sense of the House" is a step in the right direction but we believe that only Eastman's expulsion from the legislature is satisfactory
#expeleastman
Rule 49 Section 2 of the AK State Legislature Uniform Rules outlines a procedure for the expulsion of a member by a 2/3 majority vote. This is the only “due process” Eastman gets. @RepChrisTuck@RepLouiseStutes Call a floor vote to #ExpelEastman now.

In case you were wondering whether Rep. David Eastman is a Nazi sympathizer just know some of his recent tweets are literally banned in Germany as Nazi propaganda
We asking that members of the public call Speaker of the House, Rep. Stutes (907-465-2487) and demand a floor vote on the expulsion of Eastman. We are also asking folks to contact House Majority Leader Rep. Chris Tuck (907-465-2095) and demand a vote!
Completely and totally unacceptable. The public already has enough information regarding Eastman. It the legislative leadership who won't make up their minds. Do your job and expel Eastman!

Monday is the beginning of our next week of action. Continue to pressure the legislature by calling and emailing house members. Stay tuned for more information on how to get involved
We disappointed and frustrated that the Alaska house is backing down from taking concrete action.
Speaker of the House Stutes claims that the issue is becoming a ‘distraction’ Eastman isn’t a distraction. We cannot let fascism and white supremacy hold political power in Alaska.
Lacking the votes to punish Wasilla state Rep. David Eastman over his Oath Keepers membership, the Alaska House majority will hold an informational hearing about the far-right group instead: https://t.co/Ea72Gs3dpI
