"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

Legal counsel representing federal employees is now being targeted by the Trump administration. Law firms are receiving a clear message that retaliation is possible for those advocating on behalf of individuals or groups opposing the administration’s agenda.

Keep Fighting! Don't let our public lands die! @turnalaskablue.bsky.social @altnps.bsky.social @standupalaska.bsky.social @alaskaskies.bsky.social @fedworkersunited.bsky.social @nature.com @underthedesknews.bsky.social @chasingoz.bsky.social @bsky.app @bluewavevoter.bsky.social

According to a new public notice, @uafairbanks.bsky.social (actually, the University of Alaska overall) is seeking to take title of the land underneath and around the renowned Toolik Field Station on the North Slope: aws.state.ak.us/OnlinePublic... #akleg

I'll jump on #TrailTuesday with a photo of a quick hike to Thunderbird Falls just north of #Anchorage. It's a great short hike for smaller kiddos getting introduced to hiking and nature. Sometimes our feet get tired...

All #federal #government travel and purchase cards are now 1 dollar. So essentially work cant be completed whatsoever in the fields of #environmental #science #archeology #biology #wildlife etc. Anyone currently in the field needs to be back by 5 EST. Cause they can't understand friggin timezones.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Van Hollen: "There's no Article 4 in the Constitution that gives Elon Musk that authority, and the way he's been 'delegated' this authority is illegal, and the actions he's taking are illegal, and we need to shut down this illegal operation."

For what it's worth I am a federal worker and would appreciate a show of support for my co-workers (I myself will be fine)

Thanks for sharing @bananalaska.bsky.social

Justify your position by providing me with 5 pieces of legislation you got out of committee this legislative sessions.... See how it sounds @pearlmania500.bsky.social @underthedesknews.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #federalemployee #fed #doge #resist @alaskabeacon.com #opm #bulletpoint #5things

Trump order opening Arctic Alaska waters to oil leasing draws legal challenge, reports Yereth Rosen, @yjrosen.bsky.social, of @alaskabeacon.com: alaskabeacon.com/2025/02/21/t...

Remember, when you feel defeated. When you feel overwhelmed. When you feel like you can't keep track of it all. When you feel like it's hopeless. That is EXACTLY what the Trump Regime wants you to feel. We aren't whipped. You need to take a knee, you do that. We got this.

Ahh a personal #favorite the #DollyVarden. These, along with #trout , and #grayling #fish hang behind the spawing #salmon population and wait for the rogue egg to slurp up. #Western #AK #locals rely on these fish as much as salmon for food and each play important parts in each other's #ecosystems

As I advocate for public lands I can attest #hunters and #fishermen take some of the best care of these spaces. I know #DOGE AND THE #FOTUS are actively looking to shrinking #national monuments, parks, and spaces. We can extract resources carefully and efficiently while still protecting our spaces.

Today's I decided to maintain my peace and hike our #AK #state lands. Just a quick hike with the wife and kiddo to a #waterfall. It was good to get out to this state #park when #federal lands are essentially being abandoned. #hiking #snowflake @alaskabeacon.com @standupalaska.bsky.social

This mornings #science and #nature notes from the #field comes all the way from my time in #Guam. After stumbling through #typhoon rains I ran into this #unusual #specimen. I believe it was a #waxcap #mushroom but not sure. Thus began my mushroom #photo journey. @nature.com

Republican lawmakers in Utah are advancing a bill that would allow schools to fly swastika flags and Confederate flags while banning Pride flags. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

For any Republicans out there-- don't you see what's happening? Your elected officials, drunk with power, are quietly and quickly getting filthy rich. And in exchange, they're cutting your Medicaid, cutting your education funding, cutting SNAP benefits, cutting medical research.

Today's photo from the field is a Cloudberry. According to UAF Rubus chamaemorus L. is known in Alaska by several common names However, cloudberry is the name most often used throughout North America. This berry grows almost exclusively in circumpolar regions and is prized in western Alaska.

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

Musk’s staffers are accessing the heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service (IRS) system, which contains detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist 📚

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Work within the federal sector will be ground to a stand still. #NEPA has been kneecapped and we are increasingly adopting a dangerous "extract the resource and damn the land and culture" mindset. We do have people actively inside protecting these lands. @altnps.bsky.social #lands #environment
