It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

I keep hearing that it’s important for the soul to do things you enjoy—but do badly—without remorse, so it was a painting night: inspiration vs product

For #SuperSeabirdSunday and #Auktober here's a photo of Guillemots at RSPB Bempton Cliffs. If you look closely you can just about see there is an egg being tucked under one adult Guillemot (centre left) and a chick being sheltered by the one with the yellow tag 🥰🥚🐣🐥

If you haven't read this article about how an Alaska Native corporation is supporting ICE's efforts, you should. It's long but comprehensive: alaskapublic.org/news/politic... #akleg
Lucrative ICE detention centers bring money — and anger — to an Alaska Native community
NANA Regional Corp. is supposed to uphold Iñupiat values. Some shareholders say its role in Trump’s deportation machinery makes a mockery of that.

Now is a really good time to donate to food banks, and do food runs for mutual aid groups. Also, do menstrual product runs.
I wonder how much food theft spikes with desperate people just trying to feed their families. I'm sure there will be a media panic about it.

If you think that the folks evacuating western Alaska right now don’t deserve sympathy or support because they’re from a red state and “probably voted for Trump,” you should just go ahead and block me right now.
Being from somewhere is NOT a political stance, and NO ONE deserves to lose their home.

This goes for anyone out in the streets today or any day, wherever you are.
If you're going home from the protest without a plan for at least one thing - big or small - that you're going to do to help your community, come see me. I'll help you find something that you can do that fits your capacity & moves towards liberation.

Key words in this clause of Trump terror memo are “trespass” and “civil disorder.” Rest is objectively or ostensibly illegal. But these terms bring under the “terrorism” umbrella something as simple as, say, sitting in front of an ICE entrance. Or, for that matter, just chanting from the sidewalk.

As per usual: no mention of political violence against Democrats. The armed man near Kavanaugh’s house who turned himself in becomes an “assassination attempt” while the actual assassination of Melissa Hortman not mentioned. Attacks on ICE facilities are political violence but not attacks on CDC.

Rep. Sarah Vance announced tonight that she’s organizing a boycott of the Homer News over their fair and accurate reporting on her Charlie Kirk memorial service. Maybe she can get our corporate overlords at Carpenter Media to remember they own newspapers in Alaska.

COVID-19 has revealed that much of the US public is willing to accept mass death and abandonment. We were pushed by propaganda to see many around us as disposable. That helped set the tone for current fascist violations. I wrote about it for @prismreports.org.
