#Fairbanks #Alaska Reminder that resting also is required.

I was a “key woman” in the Navigators (Navs), a “para-church” discipleship-based org at many colleges founded by the man who trained up Doug Coe of “The Family.” @jeffsharlet.bsky.social ‘s book crucial for US political grasp. (& in recovering my own modest stories-new draft >21k words & rolling!)

I ran this morning w/out looking at a thermometer first. 🤣

Wish I was more surprised at the universities closing African American Studies programs, policing #Ceasefire 🇵🇸peaceful student activists, not preventing DHS abductions, etc. Not long ago, few colleagues joined in or even had backs of many of us in fossil fuel divestment mvmt-w/many reverberations.

As a historian of the American West, I winced to hear Trump blatantly ignored all our scholarship in his SOTU, prattling on about an "unforgiving wilderness" and "empty" landscapes-- without the slightest acknowledgment of the Indigenous and Mexican presence on these same lands.

I wrote on psychic life and Palestinian resistance – to ensure more people read Abdaljawad Omar @hamayel.bsky.social. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

“Craft is a machine for regulation, estrangement, sanitization. Palestine & all the struggles with which it is bound up require of us, in any & all forms of speech going forward, a commitment to constant & escalating betrayals of this machine. It requires that we poison & betray Craft at all turns.”

this is incredible! massive s/o to a real one Dr. Raquel Martin pls watch it in full and check the caption of the instagram post www.instagram.com/p/DUGzPqnETjr/

“We need to recognize that Alaska’s greatest resources aren’t just buried in the ground, they're our clean water, our healthy salmon runs and our stable climate.” Read more on the recent youth action against the AK LNG pipeline here: www.juneauindependent.com/post/juneau-...

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Thank you @asle-us.bsky.social www.asle.org/stay-informe...

If you aren't familiar with what DARVO is, get familiar with it. "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender." The govt is relying on DARVO as a tactic on a national scale, and it is also increasingly a conservative tactic to attack outspoken critics of their ideas, theories, & renderings of history.

I had a colleague call me the most earnest person they know. At first I was embarrassed. But then I realized it meant I was honest, heart on my sleeve. EARNEST IS GOOD. Why do we discount honesty and earnestness? They are superpowers. (I like the Billy Bragg song better. lol)

#Fairbanks #Alaska standing up and with again today. Remembering Pretti, Good, Porter, Dominguez, Diaz, La, Yanez-Cruz, Caceres, Campos - 9 people killed by ICE in 2026 (via @nicole.cares.too.much +) #justice #peace #love

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

You might recognize recurring patterns...For instance, in the unjust brutality of 19th-century feds in Angoon The “frontier” as an area of no laws, no citizens, no rights Layers of settler fantasies (AK identity as Davy Crockett in Xtratufs is hard to unsee) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Scenes of civil disobedience outside the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, where protesters, including religious readers, blocked the road on a statewide day of “no work (except for emergency services), no school, and no shopping” on January 23. Photos by @lfelizleon.bsky.social

Hope to see some of you tomorrow💚

Just to say, I can feel the warmth of the sun today! #Fairbanks #Alaska

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

This Friday. Please join us 🙏🏻.

Please help our relatives

To the people out there hitting every deadline under a fascist crackdown: who is your therapist?

the people, in spite of their government, stay winning

People who were actually enslaved believed that chattel slavery would end one day. I'm sorry but to me that suggests that you [who are not enslaved in 2026] can also imagine an end to the current horrors.

More than half way through the 2025-26 Arctic sea ice growing season, and the amount of sea ice (extent and thickness) remains very low. Details in the latest from the Alaska and Arctic Climate newsletter. #Arctic #SeaIce @climatologist49.bsky.social alaskaclimate.substack.com/p/arctic-sea...

There are many ways to help.

A federal judge has prohibited federal immigration agents in Minnesota from arresting, detaining, retaliating against or using force and chemical irritants against peaceful protesters and observers.
