Let's lighten the mood on #ANCgov Twitter & get into the holiday spirit with...
🌟The 12 Daves of Christmas!🌟 ☃️🎄🎁
Your favorite holiday songs, dedicated to the Bronson administration. 1 posted daily to this thread.
First: 🌨️ Dave Says No! 🌨️ Image
The 12 Daves of Christmas: Day 2!
A familiar sound echoing through #ANCgov City Hall:
(tune: Silver Bells) Image
Day 3 in the 12 Daves of Christmas!
If you've been at an #ANCgov meeting since last year, this might hit a bit different.
(tune: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas) Image
The 12 Daves of Christmas, Day 4!
Today's installment could probably run a few verses longer, at the rate the bad #ANCgov news keeps rolling out.
(tune: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer) Image
Day 5 in the 12 Daves of Christmas!
Today is a tribute to the many, many hours of misinformation we all endured from Dave's unmasked mob at #ANCgov meetings.
(tune: 12 Days of Christmas, of course!) Image
6th Day in the 12 Daves of Christmas!
Today's song is about what really happened at AWWU. Since their story keeps changing, #ANCgov will keep guessing!
(tune: I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus) Image
The 12 Daves of Christmas, Day 7!
Like magic, Bronson appeared at an #ANCgov meeting one day last year, to save Anchorage from the pandemic. If there was a pandemic.
(tune: Frosty the Snowman) Image
Day 8 of the 12 Daves of Christmas! Tonight's installment is a tribute to the first big snow in Anchorage last month. #ANCgov
(tune: Winter Wonderland) Image
The 12 Daves of Christmas continues with Day 9!
A classic song about holiday hopes, which for some people in #ANCgov is, like everything, just about money & power. Ringing out at Save Anchorage fundraisers across the city (and Eagle River, too!)
(tune: White Christmas) Image
Day 10 in the 12 Daves of Christmas! Elections have consequences... and for the "friends" who bankrolled the ones currently in charge of #ANCgov, delivered a big payoff!
(tune: Deck the Halls) Image
The 12 Daves of Christmas: dropping Day 11 a little early today, in honor of tonight's meeting! Funny how the ones concerned about #ANCgov election "fraud" seem to mostly want to make life difficult for the election staff trying to do their jobs.
(tune: Jingle Bells) Image
Finally, Day 12 in the 12 Daves of Christmas! This last song has more questions than answers, as we hope for the best gift of all: the truth.
... But this isn't the end! A bonus song drops Thursday morning, a baker's dozen as an extra #ANCgov holiday treat!
(tune: Silent Night) Image
The 12 Daves of Christmas: bonus song!
Everyone's waiting tomorrow night for the man in the red suit. But Dave's friends can't wait for the man in the preacher's suit to shower them with campaign funds in 2022! Better watch out, #ANCgov!
(tune: Santa Claus is Coming to Town) Image

Tonight's #anchgov Assembly meeting starts Tuesday, Sep 27 at 5pm, chambers at Loussac Library.
The shelter plan was already voted on Monday at a special meeting, lots of other regular business on the agenda.
Meeting gaveled in. All members present, Quinn Davidson on the way.
Pledge, land acknowledgement.

As usual, a little cluster of people waiting to testify during audience participation. A few people just can't wait to talk, every time.
Mayor's report:
Budget out Friday. Prioritizing "public safety and keeping services intact."
Bronson awkwardly talks about upcoming Broadway shows & Library Yoda card.
It's hard to sound friendly when you seem to always pick fights.
At least he hasn't vetoed yet. #anchgov

Violence is used to control - it takes away power by force, assumes others are less than.
This piece focuses on 1:1 relationships & punishing violence. Let's also reflect on how larger context, rhetoric & what we treat as acceptable enables violent action:
adn.com/opinions/edito…
Violence often starts with the words we use, dehumanizing & othering language.
We see it when people describe people experiencing homelessness: "Can't / won't help themselves." "Don't belong here." "Not our problem, send them (back) to..."
Describing human beings as a nuisance.
Then the language conflates people's existence with crime, property damage. Move them out of "nice" areas, "they don't belong." The "only" way to make the city safer is more law enforcement on the streets, make them behave a certain way.
Or just make them not visible anymore.

Tonight's #ANCgov Assembly meeting - last regular meeting of 2021 - starts Tuesday, December 21 at 5 pm. See you in the Assembly chamber at Loussac Library!
The chamber is pretty quiet, most wearing masks. An unmasked Santa and elf from Save Anchorage are handing out something to Assembly members and Mayor Bronson. They wanted to join the party! #ANCgov
Gaveled in, with all members present. Constant, Zaletel, Perez Verdia on the phone.
Pledge-screamer Jeff Fenske punctuates the Pledge of Allegiance.
Land acknowledgement. A normal meeting, these days. #ANCgov

Today's Assembly #ANCgov meeting starts at 5pm, Tuesday November 23 at the Loussac Library and streamed online. Business includes next year's budget, a resolution honoring Eugene Haberman, more board appointments.
Agenda here:
muni.org/Residents/Page…
Meeting starts shortly. Most in the room are wearing masks, even if they clearly don't want to. Perhaps they decided they don't want to watch at home, which is the alternative option, in the Assembly policy. #ANCgov
Everyone present in the chambers tonight! Even Bronson.
Chair LaFrance reminds that masks are required, available & rules will be enforced.
Meeting gaveled in. The usual start: roll call, pledge, land acknowledgement. #ANCgov

Dr. Morris seems to be playing both sides:
"Other communities built or bought well-designed facilities to provide services & shelter more efficiently and with more effective outcomes." But then... #ANCgov 1/5
adn.com/opinions/2021/…
The same Dr. Morris: "Building or buying facilities we do not need would waste precious resources. Building too small would doom our efforts before we even begin, leaving our neighbors out in the cold. Real-time, accurate data should drive decision making, not politics." 2/5
And can someone please explain to Morris why the homeless service system is different than hospitals?
"Could you imagine walking into a local hospitals, finding it full, and staff saying 'We only have diagnosis for 1/4 of patients, but we are sure the rest need to be here.'" 3/5
