Fairbanks represent! Today was an uplifiting reminder of the power of THE PEOPLE! šŸ‘šŸ¼šŸ™ŒšŸ¼ @50501movement.bsky.social

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

New in PN: John Roberts created a monster. It's about to eat him. "After all, how can the rightwing justices expect a future president — particularly a Democratic one — to accept rulings limiting the exercise of their power from a Court that served as the judicial stooge of an aspiring dictator?"

Interestingly (*heavy sarcasm*), every demographic group name is here but one: ā€œwhiteā€. White is not on this list. It’s ok to be white and talk about whiteness but everything else is banned. Pretty clear message here. Only whiteness is acceptable.

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

You can say one thing, it’s a great time to be a lawyer!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Despite the chaos swirling at the national level, good science still persists and thrives. A new project in collaboration with our Tribal partners at the Alutiiq Pride Marine Institute in Seward, AK will commence next week. #mariculture #kelpfarming Exploring regional differences in kelp growth

It’s snowing in Florida and raining in interior Alaska where it’s 53F above the average temperature for today!

MURKOWSKI comes out against Hegseth for DOD, first GOP opponent. "The leader of the Department of Defense must demonstrate and model the standards of behavior and character we expect of all servicemembers, and Mr. Hegseth’s nomination to the role poses significant concerns that I cannot overlook."

THIS! This is what it’s going to take. What a fucking flex!

Tough morning. Anyone who was paying attention or not stupid knew these EOs were coming but it doesn’t lessen their sting or the fear they unleashed. #legitterrified

Thinking back to summer, PowWow season, community, culture, youth and elders. As we move into both literal winter and a political winter of sorts, I’m going to remind myself that there’s always hope and lightness and we have power when we come together ā¤ļø
