Typhoon leaves flooded Alaska villages facing a storm recovery far tougher than most Americans will ever experience ‘As the storm approached Alaska, everything went sideways,’ leaving people no time to evacuate and little time to prepare. An Alaska meteorologist explains what happened and the challenges ahead.

I’ve got a short piece up in The Conversation on the catastrophic flooding in Southwest Alaska from ex-typhoon Halong and the challenges of recovery work. #akwx #ExtremeWeather #Alaska #AlaskaSky

It should not be as niche as it is, but I keep having to repeat it:

If your values don't apply to *everyone,* they're not actually your values. They are simply a favor that you do for people that you like.

“Pvt. Alan Borbridge speaks in the Yup'ik language with an evacuee from Nightmute

He said he thinks it has been meaningful for some to encounter a Guard service member who can speak to them in Yupik. "They have a better understanding in their own language"

If you think that the folks evacuating western Alaska right now don’t deserve sympathy or support because they’re from a red state and “probably voted for Trump,” you should just go ahead and block me right now.

Being from somewhere is NOT a political stance, and NO ONE deserves to lose their home.

This goes for anyone out in the streets today or any day, wherever you are.

What does Typhoon Halong reveal about housing conditions in Western Alaska? Here's a thread...👇

The Attorney General shall issue specific guidance that ensures domestic terrorism priorities include politically motivated terrorist acts such as organized doxing campaigns, swatting, rioting, looting, trespass, assault, destruction of property, threats of violence, and civil disorder. This guidance shall also include an identification of any behaviors, fact patterns, recurrent motivations, or other indicia common to organizations and entities that coordinate these acts in order to direct efforts to identify and prevent potential violent activity.

Key words in this clause of Trump terror memo are “trespass” and “civil disorder.” Rest is objectively or ostensibly illegal. But these terms bring under the “terrorism” umbrella something as simple as, say, sitting in front of an ICE entrance. Or, for that matter, just chanting from the sidewalk.

The WHITE HOUSE 45 47 K PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence Presidential Memoranda September 25, 2025

= The WHITE HOUSE Section 1. Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence. Heinous assassinations and other acts of political violence in the United States have dramatically increased in recent years. Even in the aftermath of the horrifying assassination of Charlie Kirk, some individuals who adhered to the alleged shooter's ideology embraced and cheered this evil murder while actively encouraging more political violence. This was preceded by the 2024 assassination of a senior healthcare executive and the 2022 assassination attempt against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Two separate assassination attempts against my own life in less than 3 months took place during the 2024 Presidential election cycle. Riots in Los Angeles and Portland reflect a more than 1,000 percent increase in attacks on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers since January 21, 2025, compared to the same period last year. Just yesterday, a shooting targeting an ICE facility in Dallas resulted in multiple casualties. Separate anti-police and "criminal justice" riots have left many people dead and injured and inflicted over $2 billion in property damage nationwide.

As per usual: no mention of political violence against Democrats. The armed man near Kavanaugh’s house who turned himself in becomes an “assassination attempt” while the actual assassination of Melissa Hortman not mentioned. Attacks on ICE facilities are political violence but not attacks on CDC.

Carpenter Media, without consultation with our newsrooms, pulled this story from the website today. A heinous dereliction of our duty and a cowardly move from the company who says they’re so invested in local news.

you don’t see how many of your friends and colleagues have undiagnosed, mild, or episodic long Covid because when we’re too tired to function we stay home

"A countermovement must counter, not just in rhetoric and ideas, but in our day-to-day actions and within the movements that illustrate our radicalism."

I rarely share organizations in Gaza because it’s too hard to verify that they are doing the work they say they are but I know multiple people who were able to evacuate through the people working on this fund who are funding trips out of Gaza City (it’s $2100 a trip for 16 people).

The California legislature has passed a necessary piece of legislation, S.B. 524, which starts to regulate police reports written by generative AI. Now, it’s up to us to make sure Governor Newsom will sign the bill.

Use EFF’s Action Center to tell Governor Newsom to sign S.B. 524 into law!

If you can help this family ❤️

I deeply thank everyone who remembered me on my birthday with kind words or gifts 💙.

Sadly, all I received must go to our 6th displacement under bombing 💔, and it’s not even enough for transport.
We need your support once again 🙏.

⚠️Today, 9/13 is last day to comment to CDC vaccine advisory board. 👇

Hasan Piker was set to debate Charlie Kirk. Now he's warning of a "Reichstag fire moment." The streaming star on how to reject political violence while staying honest about Kirk's rhetoric.

“The first interaction that many…have with Charlie Kirk is going to be, from these reputable institutions, a completely whitewashed perspective.”

My colleague @samveep.bsky.social and I spoke with Hasan Piker for @motherjones.com this morning. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Hey Alaska, what has your experience been like with trying to get a new COVID vaccine so far? #Alaska #AlaskaSky

OP went to CVS, but the Walgreens online scheduler works the same way.

Walgreens in my area only has Pfizer available though.
