When Alaska rolled back its protections for LGBTQ people, it didn't send out a press release.

Instead, the state quietly announced the policy change via the social media feeds of its human rights commission.

The agency's Twitter and Facebook accounts had a total of 102 followers as of yesterday.

@themorrancave @ProPublica this would be a vase for the supreme court if that institution hadn't been packed with fascist hacks appointed by a racist game show host who "won" an election by negative 3 million votes...
