with unprecedented funding granted by congress, the regime continues its steady escalation of violence and intimidation, increases the reach and sophistication of its surveillance software systems, and murders more human beings

My son was 4 months old when he was hospitalized with both RSV and rotavirus. So very scary even for a doctor mom. Would have jumped on both of those vaccines had they been available.

The CDC changed the universal vaccine schedule & no longer recommends Rotavirus Hepatitis A & B Meningitis Influenza RSV I’ve cared for previously healthy kids who died from RSV, influenza and meningitis. We all are going to be caring for a lot more now. In our already overflowing hospitals

Get the current Covid-19 vaccine to protect the minds of our youth and our future.

Get ur flu shot so that you do not destroy the lives of vulnerable people.

As a costal town used to swinging above and below zero, this is cold! *boots snogo out of garage* *shoves mess up against the walls* *backs in old squeaky truck into the garage* *realizes I don’t own enough extension cords* 😅

Alaska Housing Finance Corp. has previously purchased a parking garage in Fairbanks, as well as more than 600 acres of university land statewide to develop residential properties.

Affordable Care Act subsidies are about to expire leaving millions unable to afford health insurance. This is an excellent time to start wearing a mask. Keeping yourself and your community healthy is an act of resistance. Millions of people literally can’t afford to get sick.

alaskaneighbors.org We are exploring ways to break away from the red and blue binary in politics and find political organizing that better serves Alaska and takes advantage of our rank choice voting. Take the survey, it’s collecting information on what people want to see in our representatives.

So many of my colleagues laughed at me for saying this… but… a few colleagues didn’t… and I think they saved a LOT of lives in the first few years.

“In a society like ours, more than 90% of the time we are indoors, be at home, office, school … so it is indoor air which is most important for our health This is the problem right now. we must establish indoor air quality standards & mandate those standards” Huge congrats to Prof Morawska!

There are so many wonderful, inspiring, informative, life-affirming things in this world that have been made possible by investment in science and engineering and general nerdery

If you've stopped masking in public for whatever reason, now is a really good time to start again

Coming through! Important ptarmigan stuff to do! #birds 🌿

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

These folks are awesome. Please donate here to the great folks of Bethel, Alaska who are saving a ton of a dogs (and at least one turtle) following the typhoon. :https://www.bethelfriendsofcanines.com/donate.html

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

We haven't set a firm deadline yet but our survey will probably be open another week or two if anyone from the #akleg #alaskasky #aknews crowd wants to provide feedback on a new party effort we're exploring.

We’re all temporarily abled. Illness, aging, or injury comes for us all. That’s why care must be universal. Accessibility isn’t a luxury. It’s what makes freedom possible.

Jeron Joseph sure can tell a story. The way I was brought through their experience was powerful. www.kyuk.org/arts-culture...

There are a variety of climate-driven environmental threats to Alaska's rural communities, and local communities do not have the capacity to address them alone. The longer we wait for mitigation funding, the more displacement happens and the more rural, Indigenous communities are fragmented.

#akleg Anchorage sheltering 1500-2000+ displaced climate refugees as we head into winter... It's a huge story that touches on so many aspects of life in the north. Climate, government, housing, education, center-periphery, culture. The scale of this is enormous for a state our size.

"We will sometimes have to accompany people along messy transformational journeys. And...no matter how far we have come, we are...on our own messy journeys, and our...transformations will continue...To expand the practice of our politics..., we have...to organize outside...our comfort zones." 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

"When someone we love faces a difficult diagnosis or our community is hit by disaster, we come to more deeply understand the value of time and care. If we discover that we...have less time with someone than we had hoped, time does not become pointless or less meaningful; it becomes more precious." 🫂

"When we enact grief with intention, and in concert with other people, we can find and create moments of relief, comfort, and even joy—and those moments can sustain us. As Malkia Devich-Cyril writes, “Becoming aware of grief gives us more choices about how to respond to grief."" 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

"“[It] opens up possibilities to approach grief not only with compassion for self and others, but also with joy...Grief is the opposite of indifference.” Hope, too, requires us to reject indifference. And like any indifference-rejecting phenomenon, it demands effort in order to thrive." 🫂 -Chapter 8

"This practice of hope allows us to remain creative...It does not require us to deny the severity of our situation or detract from our practice of grief. To practice active hope, we do not need to believe that everything will work out in the end. We need only decide who we are choosing to be." 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

"We need only decide...how we are choosing to function in relation to the outcome we desire and abide by what those decisions demand of us. This practice of hope does not guarantee any victories..., but it does make those victories more possible. Hope, therefore, is...a strategic imperative." 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

"If we believe having a practice of hope and...grief are important..., we should be creating spaces...for this work...We must ask ourselves, Are we making space for grief in our organizing...? Are we talking about the practice of hope, and how we can orient ourselves in these daunting times?" 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

"Making art and preserving stories are essential...in this era of overnight erasure...Grief spaces can provide opportunities for people to create and...hold space together..., or...allow people to experience grief in a place where...their loss, and...continued existence are held sacred." 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

"Memorials can...be biting or disruptive, and that,...can be a source of healing for participants. As politicians and corporations push us to accept a society that does not grieve mass death, our grief and stories of the dead can function as resistance. Dirges should drown out their speeches." 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

“what would people build, what art would we see created, if working people simply had health care”
