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.

Today, I honor Indigenous Peoples Day—a celebration of living cultures, enduring wisdom, and the right to thrive.

A recognition of the brilliance, resilience, and leadership of Indigenous communities who have survived centuries of harm and continue to shape our shared future.

“Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.” - Jim Bishop, American journalist and author (1907-1987). #photography #autumn #nature

Collage of autumn scenes featuring golden and red foliage. Images include yellow and russet maple leaves, crimson-tinged bramble leaves, golden ferns, and red viburnum berries. At the centre, a delicate spider’s web glistens, capturing the golden hues of the season.

The Morrigan. Celtic Goddess of War. I prefer this image since it shows both the destructive, frightening aspect along with her regenerative side.

Portland's dancing protesters, decked in frog suits and unicorn gear, groove defiantly before ICE goons, shredding Trump's hysterical hallucinations of a bombed-out wasteland with unapologetic mirth. #Resist
