Really!? Ditto.
@adn.com could? Really?

Meanwhile the “Alaska delegation says they’re working on concerns”

And the akgop MAGA learn that the leopard will eat their face.
The Trump administration’s purge of the federal workforce has reduced staff at popular forests and parks in Alaska, raising concerns in the state’s tourism industry that services will be cut back this summer, harming tour operators and communities.

Five things I Pearl, 4 month old, did (2-5)
3. Accepted gifts in the form of dog treats.
4. Barked loudly. A neighbor told my human parents to get better control of me. But l'm a puppy & believe that we need empathy & compassion to get by. I apologize for my unruly energy.
5. Ate part of a shoe.

Five things I Pearl, 4 month old, did today 1-2 (part 1)
1. Woke my humans with licks & a wagging tale.
2. Greeted people that seem sad or just wanted a therapeutic moment of my charismatic, cute loving energy.

I think sitting around being angry about the government is not the best way to spend a Saturday.

So I will be doing laundry while being angry about the government.

Another angle on Valentine's Day...
Mass firings of federal workers have begun — hitting NOAA, IHS, VA and more. In Alaska, more than 1,000 jobs and $88 million in wages are on the line. One union leader calls it a "Valentine’s Day massacre on feds."

Oh my. #2025
a sign of a healthy and functioning democracy is that i'm getting emails from my kids' schools assuring me that the teachers are dedicated to protecting my children against the federal government

Love this!
I can’t do a lot for the world today, but I can go to the library and check out a book. Or three.

BOOM! Bishop Mariann Budde has responded to her critics who told her to apologize to Donald Trump.

“I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others.”

Smash that repost if you agree she owes Trump ZERO apologies!! 🦋

“The cruise ship industry is so powerful,” Bob Hodson does not mince words. “But we’re going to eradicate them like any other invasive species.”

Good article & latest film
" Cruise Boom," got a mention!
The cruise industry says it forges symbiotic relationships with communities and brings economic boon to ports. But around the world, from Venice to Juneau, Alaska, to Bar Harbor, Maine, residents are rising up against what they consider a scourge on their communities.
In some port towns, it’s residents vs. cruises: ‘We’re going to eradicate them’
From Alaska to Maine to Virginia, residents are using their voices and the law to preserve their communities.
