Human to three cats and an old wooden boat named David B.
On the morning of August 10th we experienced the effects of an enormous landslide and mega-tsunami that struck South Sawyer Glacier in Tracy Arm, Alaska.

What we witnessed 40 miles away were unusual currents and surges of water up to 10 feet in our anchorage.

We came across this coastal brown bear mom a d her cub clamming in Misty Fjords National Monument in May. While mom was super intent on clamming, the cub would get bored and appear at times to pout.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.
 
If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

I can't agree more. It's the oligarchs.
Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

I'm in tourism, and for 20 years, we've welcomed people from all over the world to tour Alaska with us. Trump's policies once again are hurting our economy, our friendships, and our reputation.
Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.

I enjoyed a day of making photographs at Semiahmoo to take my mind off current events. There's beauty out there. Don't forget to stop and appreciate it.

I have no words to express how ugly a move this is. How many peoples lives were saved by the Navajo?

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read.

"Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."

THIS FIGHT IS NOT OVER.

TOMORROW MORNING: everyone MUST call en masse.

Do you have a recurring donation to your Democratic Senator? PULL IT IF THEY ARE VOTING YES.

We can still fight back!!

The House GOP's CR gives Trump & Musk a blank check to steal YOUR taxpayer dollars. I won't vote to help two billionaires pick winners & losers.
