The CDC is not saying much about this, but it's still extremely serious - almost 2,000 confirmed cases in 43 states to date.

The measles virus is highly contagious and spreads through airborne droplets, so consider wearing a mask while traveling, and wash hands.

The Fairbanks City Council will now read a land acknowledgement at the beginning of every meeting, per a newly adopted ordinance, which passed 4-3.

Really good testimony from local native leaders and others.

The temperature at the Juneau Intl Airport dropped to -2F yesterday. This is only the 4th sub-0F day there in 15 years. Prior to the 1980s, it used to happen about 10 days per year. @alaska.bsky.social @alaskawx.bsky.social

“While on the #Alaska medical board, McDonough voted [to] classify gender-affirming care for minors as ‘unprofessional conduct.’”

I’m so angry. All children deserve the utmost care & protection. Gender-affirming health care saves lives. Republicans obsess over kids’ genitals for a reason. #AkLeg

Alaska Department of Corrections has reported now 17 deaths in custody this year.

That surpasses 14 reported deaths last year, nearing the highest of 18 deaths in 2022.

7 people died, or 40%, unsentenced, only charged and waiting for trial.

@repgray.bsky.social makes an excellent point in this article— “It seems that Alaska’s notorious SNAP backlog caused by a lack of workforce doing many of the tasks in this memo would be much better use of our Guard.” #AkLeg #Alaska #AlaskaSky #fuckice

Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border.

New data suggests separations now happen all over the country, often after little more than a traffic stop.

#akleg There is an Alaska connection to Adam Crum's sketchy $50m investment. DigitalBridge owns a controlling stake in Vertical Bridge which bought out 275 of GCI's wireless towers.

I'm not sure if this acts as a funnel towards a specific project or person but I hope the legislature can find out.

Fairbanks! Gift cards are a way to help our neighbors buy the groceries THEY want & need. If you can, buy a Visa gift card at Safeway West and tell them it’s for the mutual aid gift card drive, then volunteers will get the cards to the Bread Line for distribution. ❤️

📢 PROTEST the Republican Women of #Fairbanks Fundraiser for Dan Sullivan

Monday, Nov. 24, 4:30pm outside 6302 Old Airport Rd.

Sullivan is a rubber stamp for Trump. He voted to cut Alaska’s health care and schools while lining his own pockets. Witness his GOP funders. #AkLeg #Alaska #AkElect
