AK Lawyers Organize

Kevin Higgins's personal effort to organize Alaska lawyers (AAGs civil and criminal division, Asst. PDs, and OPA attorneys). Statements/opinions are my own.

@NolanKlouda Not everything, no. There are just real costs that I feel like need to be included in the assertion that it’s economical. No offense intended, just a counterpoint.

“And I still cower some times but I want to reach to that voice with love and say ‘Fucking let them.’ I have all I need for the glory of being. I recognize you and celebrate. I am brazen like a baby, like the stupid sun. And I go forward in the courage of my love.”@a_deplume

The same forces that create a bogeyman out of our brothers and sisters seeking refuge in the US created the crisis that leaves them little to no choice but to abandon their homes. Lord have mercy.

Today, Guatemala is one of the world’s most violent and dangerous nations thanks in no small part to the destabilization caused in 1954.

Finally, to @scooterkendall and @emonet, sorry for starting a new thread but it looks like there was probably typical reply-guy stuff from someone I have already muted. Cheers to both of you.

[AK Lawyers Organize @OrganizeAK]

@scooterkendall - thanks for responding. I don’t think I characterized BW as anything other than against abortion, which is accurate, but I understand your point. Most curious why it matters for mayor? I think of garbage removed, plowed streets, good water, etc. Be well.

@Emonet - I compared voting for a candidate & time as COS bc of how it appears from @scooterkendall’s tweet to be a litmus test. To me, being COS is a much bigger sign of “I support these positions” than choosing among candidates, but I understand the distinction can be drawn.

[AK Lawyers Organize @OrganizeAK]

ICWA.

[AK Lawyers Organize @OrganizeAK]

@scooterkendall @kylejo574 Honest three questions from a non-ANC: why does a mayoral candidate’s views on abortion matter? Wasn’t Walker against it when you were the COS? Finally, is there some degree of being against abortion that you would be willing to support?

Hey, Alaska public defenders and public lawyers, a better workplace is possible. It happened in Kansas, why not here? #akleg

I wonder when these articles will talk about the profits these companies have made, the pandemic money they were given, and the effect of inflation on flat wages. Even with AI & fauxtomation, we depend on labor.

@WillMuldoon @GovDunleavy That’s TJ, a law office extraordinaire from Law. He’s a great guy and obviously super talented (used to be in a hair metal band). He has the ability to make people feel good like that even when he’s not on the organ.

This @ErikLoomis obituary of Pat Robertson is not the most charitable reflection, but it doesn’t appear to contain any falsehoods either.
