So. Do we think the US military will follow an expressly unconstitutional order or not? Because we may be getting to that ground sooner than we think.

I attended protests in Fairbanks today against what is happening to our federal government, particularly the firing of our federal workers, the abandonment of Ukraine, and the proposed cuts to Medicaid which will crush our healthcare system in the state.

If you're keen for an aurora viewing experience, March is thee time to come to Alaska or the Yukon Territory. Nights are still dark, and by day the sun is providing significant warming, so it's great time to be out and about doing those northern things we love so much. #aurora

Trump set Zelensky up. This was an ambush. Anyone who works even remotely in international relations knows that these events are planned far in advance. Everything. Every word. It doesn't surprise me that Trump did this, everything has to be theatrical in the reality TV vein. And incompetent.

Are you a former ANSEP student or staff member? I'm hoping to talk to people today about the removal of "Alaska Native" from ANSEP's website.

As a former opinion editor who likes personal liberties and free markets, this is awful for the Post and those of us who read it. Regardless of the political views involved, I can’t think of a time when ownership issued a diktat about opinion page direction and it benefited the public.

The Washington Post and LA Times editorial pages have gone full MAGA, MSNBC has purged all of its anti-Trump anchors, and Twitter is owned by a literal Nazi. Here's why liberal media bias is still a problem.

The effects of the House’s proposed “Medicaid cuts to pay for tax cuts” in one graph: a 3.9% boost in income for the top 1% of households and a 7.4% reduction in income for the bottom fifth of households. In two words: class warfare. www.epi.org/blog/the-hou...

This whole thing has been pretty shocking, and the most disturbing thing yet is that ANSEP, the very wonderful Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program, has expunged the word "Native" from their website.

Nick Begich radically votes to gut Medicaid, which 250,000 Alaskans depend on for the most basic healthcare, and is the cornerstone of the tribal clinic system. That's radically irresponsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

What does a world look like, an Arctic look like, without snow reflecting sunlight? Without snow insulating the ground cover and plants, the permafrost? Whatever we're doing to address the climate crisis, we need to do more. Much more. And we need more snow, much more.

Elon Musk has taken so much ketamine that he's now an NPC. A husk of a human. He demands that every federal employee justify their existence like a cartoon villain and has sort of medicated his way into nazism. Sad. Reminds me of images of Hitler at the Olympics rocking back and forth on meth.

Cancelled my Twitter account and Starlink. Closed my Amazon Prime. Not using Google anymore. Next I am going to cancel my Starlink. That about covers it? Bluesky is a good Twitter alternative, is there an alternative for Instagram/Facebook?

It's not the best idea to turn the administration of a nuclear weapons armed state to an admitted regular user of ketamine, who makes Nazi salutes, and can barely string a coherent thought together. Tax the rich. A lot. Tax them a lot.

Maybe a few Republicans in Congress will locate their own spines and stand up and remember that they are leaders in the free world. Or maybe they'll continue to march in lockstep. But I do know this, they do feel pressure, and if they get a bunch of phone calls it may remind them "we see you."
