A fun, family-friendly cultural & sports event, the Race Against Racism is a 5K/10K run/walk. Route takes us by landmarks named for folks who made Fairbanks better. For runners, it is a fast, flat race. For families, it is a scavenger hunt! raceagainstracismalaska.word…

Did you know that high earners only pay social security tax on the first $168,600 they make in a year?
If millionaires paid into Social Security at the same rate as the rest of us, we could afford to protect and expand benefits for everyone.
It’s time to #ScrapTheCap

Asked about the maintenance budget for the University of Alaska (a backlog of $1.4B), Sanders says they're basically in a holding pattern ($28M) while trying to figure out new revenue for it.
Sen. Kiehl: "If the plan is to get further behind, it's not a good plan."

With the exception of Alaska Natives and Native Peoples, most of us are daughters and sons of immigrants who came to this country to build a better life for themselves and their families. Legal immigration from people across the world is woven into the fabric of American exceptionalism, and comments from the former president couldn’t be further from the truth. This is more hateful, harmful rhetoric from Donald Trump that is poisoning our country.

In 1981, shortly after college, I attended a Halloween party dressed in a black grad gown, with gray theatrical spray in my hair and a toy gavel in my hand. The boys: “what’s your costume, judge, graduate?”
The girls: “You’re Sandra Day O’Connor!” Every girl at the party.

Traveled to Bethel yesterday to examine food transport in rural Alaska where most food is flown in. 🧵 We started off with a trip to the main grocery store. These were the typical “sale” prices (1/4): #AKleg

OMG, this is HILARIOUS!

The smoke has been very thick in Interior Alaska for the past week and some of this is due to the Pogo Mine Road Fire, burning off the Richardson Highway. In this image, you can see red dots indicating GINA’s fire heat points, used by @BLM_AFS to track and monitor fires. #akwx

Feel the need to clarify for my hydrologist friends. Climate change didn’t necessarily cause the scale of this year’s flood. But it IS the reason these kinds of glacial outburst floods happen in the first place. More on that today.

Is it true, then, that we're just shoveling more money into a "failing" system? Well, no. We've been effectively decreasing the amount of state $ going into public schools once you adjust for inflation. As it happens, per pupil spending peaked at about the same time as scores.
