No wonder we have ridiculous debt issues.

Some of the frivolous September purchases made under Secretary Pete Hegseth’s stewardship include a $98,329 Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, $5.3 million for Apple devices such as the new iPad, and an astronomical amount of … newrepublic.com/post/207555/...

My partner's son has had a series of small strokes. They have been estranged for several years but have just recently reconnected. It is heartbreaking to see his decline, but encouraging to see their new energy together. There is hope ahead, but it will be a long hard journey.

I find it concerning that there has been near constant rumblings of obviously large military aircraft, all night long. It would seem that Alaska is moving assets to somewhere else.

Mercury is in Retrograde, and the world has gone insane. Was worried that it was going to affect my planned day of creating, but it did not. I am very excited by the days results. The vision for my show in June is developing well. Got more done than expected. Very excited with the progress.

thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

Reports indicate U.S. service members in Alaska have been placed on alert for possible deployment. The public justification being floated is “Minnesota,” but that explanation doesn’t fully add up. There is credible concern that Minnesota could be a cover for something else, potentially Greenland.

Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

Winter is my time to immerse into Art and Creating. Have a piece in a show now. Worked on 2 more today to take to Anchorage at the end of the month, with 3 more to work on for March, and 1 more to Frame next week for February. Maine Lake series.

Fish over Mining. No question

Inletkeeper@inletkeeper.bsky.social

“Pro-business” doesn’t mean backing ultra-rich mining execs over Alaskans. Bristol Bay’s salmon already power local jobs, culture, and communities. Pebble Mine puts it all at risk. 🐟 Salmon first. #NoPebbleMine #ProtectBristolBay #SaveOurSalmon #YouAreInletkeeper

Below zero temps made us plug in our cars for the first time this year. Been over a week and supposed to last for awhile longer. Too cold to snow, and none in the near forecast, but would be nice.

Kinda Sad and Scary that they really are that Afraid.

Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸@judiciarydems.senate.gov

Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Was the U.S. Capitol attacked on January 6, 2021? Trump nominee: *dodges* Trump nominee: *dodges* Trump nominee: Well, individuals entered the Capitol. Blumenthal: You are in fear—how will you have the courage to be fair and impartial?

Decided to turn my back to that sad bit of TV and focus instead on the 2 dozen local oysters that we had for an appetizer. Main course is King crab from Nome and lobster from Maine. Oh my my.

Warnock: "Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade in random places, on our college and school campuses, without doing all that we can to stop it is broken and in need of moral repair."

This is an essential watch.

Pam Bondi is Coming for Domestic Terrorists. You Might Be One of Them. I recorded an emergency pod to explain this story. Fair warning: it’s likely to be the scariest thing you hear today. And, if you’re not alarmed, you’re not paying attention. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Really proud to be included in this years Alaska Positive, a Fine Art photo competition at the Alaska State Museum, that will then tour the State. This is " Blue Salmon", part of a continuing series on sustainability here in Alaska.

/11 Trump is what he is: an increasingly demented jumble of personality disorders prone to barking out whatever angry stupid thing pops into his head. And he’s the “leader of the free world.” But many politicians who took an oath to uphold the Constitution will echo his lawless dreck.
