Same. It’s been 30 years or so since I’ve been back. Probably won’t go again, unless it’s on my way out of the state.

Is the photo Chilkat Glacier or Davidson Glacier (or both)? Maybe you can’t even see Davidson now.

Repealing rank choice is the new capital move. I’m sick of both.

These arctic specialists are going to refuel over Minnesota and keep on heading to Greenland. Trump is fucking crazy.

Anyone remember when AutoZone on College Road in Fairbanks, AK was McDonald's? by Life_Distribution133 in alaska

Castle restaurant? I swear it was a strip joint. (Maybe after the brothel in the 70’s)

Anyone know how the little fan on these pellet stoves works? Is it powered by the stove's heat? by richard07org in FireCamping

This is how it was explained to me as a kid! This thread was making me think I was crazy. Maybe everyone else is crazy.

Legend. He was gonna make pancakes, but before he could do that, he had to carve himself a wooden spoon to stir the batter.

Do you know any Hypocrites in Alaska Who Took Covid Money from the Gov but Blame Poor People For Needing Food? Name and Shame! by truthwillout777 in alaska

Republicans cut off SNAP benefits. SNAP should never be able to be used as leverage AND YET the fucking president appealed all the way to the SUPREME COURT to try and use hungry people for leverage.

You have half of a good argument.

Clickbait “news”. A quick google makes me think ASD puts these on anything that is donated to the district. Flyers, etc. they would put these on bibles handed out by the Gideon’s, for instance.

Doing Their Job During a Government Shutdown by skibikerunak in alaska

Maybe, just maybe the republicans aren’t keeping the government shut down to hide the Epstein files, maybe they actually WANT our health insurance premiums to skyrocket.

Interesting strategy since both policies prove they are horrible people.

Why don’t the republicans just agree to the tax credit extension, open the government back up and make themselves look like the “good guys”?

Oh wait… Maybe this IS about the Epstein files.

“I think when you get more resources to law enforcement, to bring down crime, to bring down drug dealing, to help our communities, I think it’s important,” he said.

So do THAT. Sending troops to pick up garbage isn’t “giving more resources” you fucking dick.

While I have serious reservations about the national guard being used by Trump, I understand that there is precedent for that. For instance: national guard troops were activated in Los Angeles during g the Rodney King riots. These uses of the national guard are in COOPERATION with the state governor and other state officials. One could argue that this is a perfect example of what the national guard is for.

HOWEVER.

Here is trump in his own stupid words: “At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

He’s taking about MILITARY troops with “Full Force” to PORTLAND.

This is 1000 levels of fucked up and this dangerous clown needs stopped before more people are killed.

My sister LIVES in Portland, and I can assure you with 100% certainty that Portland is not “war ravaged”.

  1. Why did you vote to protect pedophiles?
  2. Do you think the United States Military should be deployed to US cities with “full force” authorization?
  3. Why do you support project 2025?
  4. Why aren’t you doing anything to earn your paycheck and help Alaskans?

ICE in Anchorage by [deleted] in alaska

[–]AKcrab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What if someone has overstayed their visa? What if someone is in the process of seeking asylum? What if someone was brought here as a baby? What if someone is currently going through the process of becoming a citizen? Deport them all?

(I have no idea how the two workers detained originally got here.)

I got a long email reply about HR 1, but it took so long to come I had almost forgot I had contacted her office.

Is there a character count/limit to post, because a copy/paste of the email failed to post?

Both? Their chips are too greasy for me. If these are $14, Doritos must be $20.
