#PrettiGood reason to ride today for the two Americans murdered by Ice and to call out tRump’s gestapo for their brutal tactics. @ 200 fatbikers rode today in Anchorage, Alaska. Like Alex, I know I would have intervened to help the woman beaten and gassed by ICE. Wouldn’t you? #iceout #fucktrump

Anchorage joined cities across the country today & showed out to raise our voices collectively against ICE.

Here's why #Alaska should care about CDC's wastewater surveillance: 1️⃣ Wastewater (WW) picks up on trends more quickly than hospitalizations or deaths. When these lagging indicators increase, there's already been weeks of high pathogen spread. 2️⃣ Unlike case count or positivity, WW...

fwiw this is the kind of stuff that is going to get us through, not playing rambo

The flu is hitting Alaskans hard. Flu A & B are spiking, with high levels of hospitalizations and at least 3 flu-related fatalities in #Alaska this season. It’s not too late to get updated flu and COVID shots! #MaskUp 😷 to protect yourself and your loved ones. Use our form if you need masks. ❤️

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

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

A couple people have asked and so I want to be clear: YES please do a version of this story for your local sports mascots. Send it to me! This is what I want my legacy to be!

We'll be tabling at the @anchoragemutualaid.bsky.social November free store at @akpirg.bsky.social on Sunday! Come say hi and get masks and other free stuff! #Alaska #MaskUp #Anchorage

I keep hearing that it’s important for the soul to do things you enjoy—but do badly—without remorse, so it was a painting night: inspiration vs product

For #SuperSeabirdSunday and #Auktober here's a photo of Guillemots at RSPB Bempton Cliffs. If you look closely you can just about see there is an egg being tucked under one adult Guillemot (centre left) and a chick being sheltered by the one with the yellow tag 🥰🥚🐣🐥

I see familiar faces here! Also- #AlaskaNativeResilience is 40% off using the code and link through @uwapress.uw.edu here through Oct 31!

If you haven't read this article about how an Alaska Native corporation is supporting ICE's efforts, you should. It's long but comprehensive: alaskapublic.org/news/politic... #akleg

Shared from @nativemvmnt.bsky.social 📣 MUTUAL AID NEEDED 🚨 Typhoon Halong flooded homes across the Y-K Delta in Western Alaska. ❤ PLEASE DONATE ❤ Support this community fundraising effort and DONATE with the Alaska Community Foundation > alaskacf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/c... #AlaskaSky #MutualAid

Now is a really good time to donate to food banks, and do food runs for mutual aid groups. Also, do menstrual product runs.

mutual aid request: we are housing family who were displaced from flooding donations for clothing and household items would be appreciated, they are looking to furnish their apartment men’s medium clothes, 9 shoes women’s small clothes, 7 shoes venmo: mikaelalhunter quyana cakneq!

I’ve got a short piece up in The Conversation on the catastrophic flooding in Southwest Alaska from ex-typhoon Halong and the challenges of recovery work. #akwx #ExtremeWeather #Alaska #AlaskaSky theconversation.com/typhoon-leav...

It should not be as niche as it is, but I keep having to repeat it: If your values don't apply to *everyone,* they're not actually your values. They are simply a favor that you do for people that you like.

“Pvt. Alan Borbridge speaks in the Yup'ik language with an evacuee from Nightmute He said he thinks it has been meaningful for some to encounter a Guard service member who can speak to them in Yupik. "They have a better understanding in their own language" 🥹🥹🥹🥹

If you think that the folks evacuating western Alaska right now don’t deserve sympathy or support because they’re from a red state and “probably voted for Trump,” you should just go ahead and block me right now. Being from somewhere is NOT a political stance, and NO ONE deserves to lose their home.

This goes for anyone out in the streets today or any day, wherever you are.

What does Typhoon Halong reveal about housing conditions in Western Alaska? Here's a thread...👇

Key words in this clause of Trump terror memo are “trespass” and “civil disorder.” Rest is objectively or ostensibly illegal. But these terms bring under the “terrorism” umbrella something as simple as, say, sitting in front of an ICE entrance. Or, for that matter, just chanting from the sidewalk.

As per usual: no mention of political violence against Democrats. The armed man near Kavanaugh’s house who turned himself in becomes an “assassination attempt” while the actual assassination of Melissa Hortman not mentioned. Attacks on ICE facilities are political violence but not attacks on CDC.

Carpenter Media, without consultation with our newsrooms, pulled this story from the website today. A heinous dereliction of our duty and a cowardly move from the company who says they’re so invested in local news.

you don’t see how many of your friends and colleagues have undiagnosed, mild, or episodic long Covid because when we’re too tired to function we stay home

"A countermovement must counter, not just in rhetoric and ideas, but in our day-to-day actions and within the movements that illustrate our radicalism." Yes, and I think it's really important to highlight the anti-COVID work Black organizers have been holding for 6 years advocating against +

So frustrating that all Mohammad is trying to do is post his farm and help his family

I rarely share organizations in Gaza because it’s too hard to verify that they are doing the work they say they are but I know multiple people who were able to evacuate through the people working on this fund who are funding trips out of Gaza City (it’s $2100 a trip for 16 people).

The California legislature has passed a necessary piece of legislation, S.B. 524, which starts to regulate police reports written by generative AI. Now, it’s up to us to make sure Governor Newsom will sign the bill. Use EFF’s Action Center to tell Governor Newsom to sign S.B. 524 into law!

If you can help this family ❤️

I deeply thank everyone who remembered me on my birthday with kind words or gifts 💙. Sadly, all I received must go to our 6th displacement under bombing 💔, and it’s not even enough for transport. We need your support once again 🙏. GFM |↪| gofund.me/5689fe54 Verified || @mommunism.bsky.social

⚠️Today, 9/13 is last day to comment to CDC vaccine advisory board. 👇

“The first interaction that many…have with Charlie Kirk is going to be, from these reputable institutions, a completely whitewashed perspective.” My colleague @samveep.bsky.social and I spoke with Hasan Piker for @motherjones.com this morning. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Hey Alaska, what has your experience been like with trying to get a new COVID vaccine so far? #Alaska #AlaskaSky

OP went to CVS, but the Walgreens online scheduler works the same way. Walgreens in my area only has Pfizer available though.

The State Medical Board will discuss banning transgender medical care for minors on Friday. The meeting will also include a vote to oppose late term abortions. The meeting is Friday. You can contact them & tell them what you think at [email protected] or call (907) 465-2550. #alaskasky

This is easily my favorite part of this reporting. I love Alaskan journalism. ❤️ #alaskasky

We are thrilled to have distributed more than 2,000 free masks to Alaskans, including over 600 masks to families preparing for a volcanic eruption! Now, for the first time, we are accepting donations to purchase masks and COVID-19 tests and ship them across #Alaska. ko-fi.com/alaskamaskbloc

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now

Fairbanks would lose $3 million. We willn notice a loss that large.

I’ve been keeping an informal list of past & future ones docs.google.com/spreadsheets... And @ms-united.bsky.social was working on a google form to consolidate all the upcoming statewide ones

I just reskeeted @prisonculture.bsky.social saying people don't know. I'm telling you people don't know. I keep having conversations, even conversations with people who are in media who are missing huge chunks of what's happening. People are busy and aren't directly impacted so they don't know

There's more news now about people being detained, but it's been happening to brown/black folks for a long time. This is sound advice for anyone. Still warrants caution, and for gender/sexual minorities I'd be very wary of traveling to/from the US.

#Alaska, let's talk masks for a #Spurr eruption. Remember, the best mask: (a) fits your face w/ minimal gaps (b) is one you can wear for an extended period of time If you can't afford masks, reach out and we'll help. But if you're looking to buy masks, you should know... 🧵
