Alaska’s Indigenous leaders call for solidarity with Greenlanders amid Trump's threats | Alaska Beacon
Many Alaskans count Greenlanders as friends, colleagues or kin who speak a closely related language and participate in similar cultural traditions.

Yes.
There's a clear path forward:
1. Quickly pass the other 5 spending bills before the Friday night deadline & keep government open.
 
2. Separate out the DHS bill & work on common sense steps to rein in ICE and CBP.
 
Senate Democrats are ready to get it done. Republicans must join us.

Yesterday, VA nurse Alex Pretti was pepper sprayed, beaten, & then shot in the back of the head at point blank range by an ICE agent.

We need a full investigation & those responsible for his murder be held accountable.

Tonight I attended a vigil in Juneau with 100s of mourners. #akleg

More than other things, this was a huge factor in students' learning outcomes in the last decade. The schools worked all were struggling to stay fed. And the schools dropped scones at lunchtime. Thanks, Governor D.

The only enjoyment was reading the body language of the two men seated behind him. KUDOS for staying seated. I had to run up my stairs.
Thank cod this is over soon. #AlaskaSky
Dunleavy spent much of his 79-minute speech presenting a long list of accomplishments from his first seven years in office.

Two ADOPTED rescue dogs, both from Bethel. I helped them adjust to house living and get lots of exercise.

The Pentagon has put 1,500 soldiers on standby for a possible deployment to MN, while the administration escalates its ICE crackdown.

We don’t need more force. We need oversight, restraint, and consequences, starting with ICE. Watch closely. Record. Share verified updates. Protect each other.

It's time to show our power! On the 1-yr mark of Trump's 2nd term (Jan 20) let's walk out together to oppose a racist, anti-worker program. Then, we WALK IN to hold our congressional delegation accountable. Meet us at 510 L Street at 2 pm. WE are the priority! #StandUPAlaska

Yes, as an Alaskan, white, and female, I do understand. It sucks! I watch, and I call my congressional members weekly.

I am so proud to say I am part of the dream created before I was born, Martin Luther King Jr.'s message was repeated by my family.

Thank you for standing up for what is right.
I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

I wonder how many of these men were from families involved in burning Black Wallstreet in the 1920's?

Or are these just the white men who live for Fight Club?
