These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Seems a little hypocritical for Steve Bannon to be saying there shouldn’t be a foreign air base in the U.S. when they have military bases EVERYWHERE! Not that I’m a fan of the scheme anyway; living next door and all.
Just saying….

#cdnpoli #cdnpolitics A PM must represent all Canadians by speaking and acting ONLY in the best interests of our entire population. Poilievre is not fit to be PM as he cannot do that, so he is employing the #populistagenda of dividing and conquering Canadians in a failing attempt to gain power.

Some have been asking what we did for education while we were in government.

See the facts below:

⛪️ Built & modernized 244 schools
💰 Funded education per student above the national average
🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Fully funded for enrollment & inflation every year

Alberta deserves better.

Better is possible. #abpoli

Alberta NDP @albertandp.ca · 3d

Scared for strike talk at the dinner table? Don't worry, we have you covered with the facts on education. ⬇️

Line chart showing Alberta’s real dollars per student dropping under the UCP. Text highlights: Alberta is last in per-student funding, class sizes of 40+, and that the UCP could have acted months ago.

Students walking toward a school. Text says Alberta’s NDP built and modernized 244 schools in four years, while the UCP has only built or modernized 78 in five years.

Student standing in a library aisle. Text says Alberta’s NDP funded education per student above the national average and that past NDP funding remains higher than the UCP’s, even with inflation.

Classroom scene with raised hands. Text says Alberta's NDP introduced a 2023 bill to bring back class size reporting, and the UCP defeated it.

On World Mental Health Day, I'm thinking of everyone who is struggling right now.

If the world feels heavy, know that you don't carry its weight alone.

If all you do today is exist, it's ok.

You are loved. You matter.

Your mental health matters.

And I'm so grateful you're here.
