Podcast appearances and mentions of libby bakalar

Municipal attorney of Bethel Libby Bakalar is today's guest. Libby became famous in Alaska for her blog, One Hot Mess, and then her social media presence as One Hot Mess Alaska. Her outspokenness led to her unlawfully firing by the Dunleavy administration when she was working there as an assistant attorney general. Today, we discuss all of that as well as her complicated feelings about the conflict in Israel as a Jewish woman and descendant of Holocaust survivors.

Jeff was joined by Juneau attorney Libby Bakalar. They discuss the recent decision in her case against Governor Mike Dunleavy (R - Alaska), how her case has been going the last three years, the press and the First Amendment, the situation involving Representative David Eastman (R - Wasilla), Alaska's new voting system, how contemporary life has changed since the early 20th century, and how technology is affecting children. 

We keep hearing, "we need to learn to live with covid" but what does that really mean? Alaskan lawyer Libby Bakalar joins me as we discuss a former friend of mine who became a leading figure in the UK anti-lockdown movement, and about the efforts by summer festivals to reopen with covid procautions in place.

Alaskan lawyer Libby Bakalar joins me to discuss Derek Chauvin's conviction for the murder of George Floyd. We talked about justice, accountability, and why the two aren't the same thing.

As the race for the White House enters its final fortnight, Alaska lawyer Libby Bakalar joins me to talk about the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett, the hopes for unseating Donald Trump, and a bizarre saga involving the Mayor of Anchorage.

Jeff was joined by Libby Bakalar. This is her third time on Landmine Radio. They discuss her new job, a recent Twitter interaction with a former legislator, her blog One Hot Mess, COVID-19, the controversial email from Representative Ben Carpenter that went global, comparing the 1960s to today, President Trump, and a variety of other topics. 

In this episode, Cody has a conversation with Libby Bakalar, the creator of the One Hot Mess blog. Libby’s One Hot Mess originally began as a mommy-blog, where she wrote about things like recipes, make-up, and the trials and tribulations of parenting. She says it transformed into what it is now—a social justice blog—after President Trump was elected and especially after Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy was elected. She explains that, as a lawyer, she really had no choice but to speak truth to power because if she were to stay quiet in the compassionless government we’re currently living in, then she would be complicit in the repercussions.  The transformation of One Hot Mess from a mommy blog to a social justice blog comes from Libby’s sense of a moral imperative—if she doesn’t call these people out, then who will? If she’s not critical of the powers that be and the injustices that they effectuate, then who will be? She believes that when push comes to shove, Alaskans will always band together for the greater good. For the values and the morals that make us who we are. Because, at the end of the day, she believes that we have a lot more common experiences than we think we do.

Jeff was again joined by the awesome Libby Bakalar. They discuss what she's been up to since the last podcast, the recent ACLU fundraiser she attended, some recent issues in the news, how social media has been changing, the effects social media is having on society, the outrage culture, how so many people have become dependent on social media, and the changing roles companies like Facebook and Twitter are playing when it comes to regulating speech. 

Jeff was joined by Libby Bakalar. After attending Brooklyn Law School, Bakalar moved to Alaska in 2005 to take a judicial clerkship. She worked as a lawyer for the State of Alaska for 12 years. She was let go right after Governor Dunleavy took office. After, with the help of the ACLU, she filed a lawsuit against the administration for unconstitutional termination. She also started a blog, One Hot Mess, in 2014. It has become very popular and sometimes controversial. They discuss her blog, her work as a lawyer, as well as cultural and political issues.
