Collectively mourning the loss of another good soul. 🙏🏽

America is crumbling. Like a 10 million pound drill rig on an ice road.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

A citizen of Navajo Nation was detained by ICE in Phoenix. Peter Yazzie was reportedly carrying a tribal ID, but was still violently arrested. An officer put a knee on Yazzie’s back, which can be lethal because it can cut off a person’s breathing. www.azcentral.com/story/news/p...

Prayers this morning to the elements which give us life: water, earth, fire, air, and space. May we humans find balance once again. 🙏🏽 May we work with love for our Mother Earth & compassion for one another & our more than human kin.

This weekend would be a great time to watch “Truth, Trust, and Harvest” written by Gwich’in writer @princessdaazhraii.bsky.social , and “Thanks-for-Giving” by myself, Tlingit/Dena’ina writer Vera Starbard. I’d love to know what you get from them! You can watch for free on the PBS KIDS app (linked)

I announced that I started a small business/social enterprise supporting the Filipino American community in Anchorage. I didn’t plan for the launch to fall on the same week as Black Friday/Small Business Saturday (I was going to do this next year). But here we are and I’m excited!

I interviewed the brilliant historian and editor in chief of the Journal of Palestine studies @srseikaly.bsky.social on learning about Palestine, the intersectionality of the Palestinian cause, and how to combat a system trying to make you stupid. www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

Folks, a pill to swallow: if current Democrats will cave to your healthcare, they will cave to your voting rights. If they will cave to you not getting paid for 40 days, they will cave to LGBTQ+ marriage. If they cave to stalling our airplanes, they will cave to destroying our National Parks.

Molly will be visiting the lands of the Lenape, Klamath, Shoshone Bannock, Diné, and Native Hawaiian in the coming days! Pumped for the respective communities Molly visits, and everyone who gets to learn more about them. Watch them on the PBS KIDS app now or see when they air nationally near you.

On what is likely the last FULL week of episode releases for Molly of Denali, there’s some reeeeal good stuff airing! Molly and Grandpa Nat are traveling all over the Lower 48 and Hawaii to visit both volcanic activity sites and the Indigenous stewards of that land. #nativeamericanheritagemonth

“news ‘underscores the profound ecological toll .. Hurricane Melissa will have on Jamaica’s biodiversity — our coral reefs, mangroves, and terrestrial ecosystems,’ said Donovan Campbell, a professor of environmental geography at the University of the West Indies .. “ www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

I am thinking of the people of Jamaica, and the many New Yorkers with loved ones there, as Hurricane Melissa — fueled by a warming ocean — grows into the strongest storm ever to bear down upon the island.

Please continue to support those affected by the climate crisis in Alaska. Mahsi’choo!

though Alaska is not on a road system and mostly accessible only by small plane - that is still the preferred long-distance method of transport by Indigenous communities there do NOT use this moment to fuel the fire of Trump's recent Ambler Road Project - WHICH WILL DESTROY WILDLIFE for A.I.

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

This Is Fascism

Another "storm of the century" is hitting Kotzebue, for the second year in a row. Last year's storm almost took out my dad's house. Woke up to videos of the flooding and it's already bad. They are expected to get another storm after this one passes. www.kotz.org/kotz-local-n...
