Please read—this is becoming serious!

Thursday's snowfall #alaskasky

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Sixth winter in Alaska, and we finally met a ditch with our name on it #alaska #kenaiwildliferefuge

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau uncovered $21 billion of cheating and returned it directly to Americans. That little agency is proof that we can make the government work for people. Trump and Musk want to take that away, but we won't stop fighting to protect it.

Thread.

Any resistance costs them time.

Friendly reminder from Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny:

Good Subaru weather. First proper snow of 2025 #Alaska #Soldotna

Dramatic Alaskan Sunset; 5:01 pm. Days are getting longer. #Alaska #Soldotna

Driving by the governors mansion and seeing this made me think about the purpose of flags. Pride Flags are an inclusive symbol meant to show that everyone is welcome. Whereas this Pro-life flag is the opposite showcasing binary colors and depicting only one type of family. It is exclusionary.

January in South Central Alaska. Where's the snow? #Alaska #climatechange

Some may rally behind slogans like “Drill, baby, drill,” but the facts tell a different story: more than 6k approved permits for fossil fuel extraction on federal lands remain idle. The push for further deregulation isn’t about necessity—it’s about corporate greed at the expense of Alaskans’ future.

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

My first Coho Salmon. Trapped, documented and released as part of the State Of Alaska's Anadromous Water Mapping Program. Looking forward to resuming volunteer work in the spring.
