Someone needs to inform DHS that Alaska is a U.S. state.

One woman was killed and two others remain missing after the remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska.

The storm displaced more than 1,000 people, destroying homes and causing record flooding in remote coastal villages.

If you didn’t know, Alaska has been hit by a massive storm, causing severe flooding. Many Indigenous villages have been completely wiped out, with some houses floating away with PEOPLE INSIDE THEM. Please keep posting to spread the info. They need help.

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.

People are fleeing the US because of the ICE roundup. How do we know who is on these boats?

I love Oregon for it natural beauty, but I adore this Oregon for its chutzpah. Way to go!

I guess the Dem’s aren’t willing to get down to the McConnell level of “work around”. They’ll have to realize this isn’t the old Congress anymore.

Good. I have been trying to get this message out for a long time but I seem to find the right documentation this time. I think we all assumed they were helping our local shelter. When I researched and found the truth, I was enraged.

Cold and rainy in my neck of the woods today but clearing and warm on the 18th. I’ll take that as a sign.

Someone explain to Headspace what a journalists job is. Unlike him, it is not to kiss Trump’s ass.

ICE is not your usual government agency. They are a band of miscreants.

More firings and layoffs and cancellation of Biden’s infrastructure plan for New York. How long before voters realize is not in the business of helping Americans?
