I caught a little sunlight on the first day of March. We now have over 10 hours of daylight in Fairbanks, Alaska. Of course, it's -42°F this morning, but it is supposed to warm up a bit. More of my recent photos here: photos.lwpetersen.com/Recent-Photos #alaska #winter #sunlight

Thank you Peter

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

As a last minute type person, this seems EXTREMELY important.

Some tough people in Fairbanks Alaska. Me- never have, never will do this!!! 😮‍💨🙂‍↔️

Good news Fairbanks: with the airport currently sitting at -48F/-44C, the lowest temperatures in North America right now (Sunday morning) are right outside your window. So get out and carpe that diem. #akwx #AlaskaSky

My favorite annual news article! ...Although, I suppose, slightly tainted by the voracious machines that will gobble up these public works. www.npr.org/2025/12/26/n...

Yay @verastarbard.bsky.social!

State health officials said they expect that money to run out by mid-November. For now, they are operating the program using the remaining money from the previous year.

FBI: "We didn't zip tie children." REPORTER: "Here's a photo of a zip tied 14 year old." FBI" "OK, we didn't zip tie YOUNG children."

In 1 week, over 66,000 Alaskans will lose their SNAP benefits & won’t be able to afford groceries. A significant % of AK’s 12,000 federal workers have been furloughed for the past month. @FoodBankofAK needs your help now more than ever. Learn more here: www.foodbankofalaska.org

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads. These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Murkowski, Sullivan, and Begich all voted for this.

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

Just sat in the gallery in the Alaska Capitol and watched the legislature override two of the Governors vetoes. Democracy in action. Schools have funding!

The President is taking approx $1B of taxpayer funds from a military project to refurbish a plane given to him by a foreign nation, which he plans on taking with him when he leaves office. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/u...

"Her businesses, known for donating meals to homeless shelters, supporting local police, providing funding for high school baseball teams... “She gives back to the community, creates jobs for young people, pays taxes. Why would you want to remove someone like that?” www.12news.com/article/news...

There are reportedly 7 ICE agents in Juneau now. If that is true, now is a good time to familiarize ourselves with this: www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

This earthquake and tsunami warning comes while our senators are voting to claw back funding for rural radio stations in Alaska. Alaska is a radio state, many people out there are getting their emergency news and guidance through local public radio. Right this minute. #akleg #akgov

While the U.S. Senate is voting to defund public broadcasting ... my colleagues at rural Alaska public radio stations are scrambling to help coastal residents understand the tsunami danger from a 6.6 mag earthquake that struck minutes ago in Sand Point/Aleutians East.

In Kodiak, the largest community currently under a tsunami, warning, KMXT public radio is the most valuable source for information about what’s happening in the community and for emergency information relayed by city officials. #Alaska

Breaking: per FEMA sources Kristi Noem was responsible for THREE DAY DELAY in deploying search-and-rescue in Texas Fire her. Blood on her hands.

Noem didn’t authorize FEMA’s deployment of Urban Search and Rescue teams until Monday, more than 72 hours after the flooding began, multiple sources told CNN.

This is Nick Begich (R-Alaska). If he votes for the bill, 37,000 of his constituents lose access to their healthcare. 27,000 of his constituents lose access to their food assistance. 578 energy jobs in his district will disappear.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

Breaking News: The sprawling tax and health care bill that Senate Republicans are trying to pass would add at least $3.3 trillion to the national debt over a decade, the Congressional Budget Office estimated.

Dunleavy tries really, really hard to convince us the #akleg is bad and he’s just a poor guy who they’re being really, really mean too. His letter is something else:
