All the oil royalties in the world won’t make up for Rep. Nick Begich 3 and the AKGOP oil extraction policy turning Alaskans into climate refugees and destroying the land they’ve inhabited for at least 5,000 years.

Alaska Rep. Nick Begich delivered his 1st address to the Alaska Federation of Natives convention since being sworn in.

Right before his speech, AFN delegates unanimously approved a resolution opposing changes Begich floated to the Marine Mammal Protection Act.

Gov. Mike Dunleavy doesn’t do the right thing often, but flying the flag upside down at the Alaska Capitol in Juneau was a thoughtful gesture.

Imagine if she’d dressed as a donut…

October 18th, is Alaska Day! The state holiday recognizes the Russian transfer of Alaska to the United States, which took place in Sitka.
Today is also Reconciliation Day, a day of mourning as Lingít Aani was transferred from one colonial power to the next without the consent of the Tlingit people.

Got an infuriating text from the #DCCC - "sign the petition to say 'no' to a Trump 3rd term!"
By giving any validation to this premise you're failing to lead. Stand up for the Constitution and focus your energy on building messaging that doesn't amplify the crazy, you pinheads.

They're on the wrong side. They know it. They're going to try to provoke you. Don't let them. A smile is a most powerful weapon. Use it often in the face of adversity.

I hope #Alaska figures out that the #AKGOP approach of eyes-closed fingers-in-ears is not a climate change response. Science is true whether you believe it or not.

Officials for years knew about flood risks in rural Alaska. The recent storm illustrated how little they have to show for it.

State and federal officials have spent years recommending steps to mitigate flood risks in rural Alaska. Most have not been implemented.

Friendly annual reminder that millennia before Columbus, the land and sea now called Alaska was home to diverse peoples with distinct, thriving cultures who had no need to be "discovered". And their descendants are still here. Map courtesy #Alaska Native Language Center at UAF. #IndigenousPeoplesDay
