Feeling powerless/hopeless/angry/sad? Take one action with immediate, significant local impact. Donate to a local mutual aid fund, soup kitchen, food bank, strike fund, abortion fund, etc. If you can, set up a small recurring donation. These are the lifeblood of tight-budget aid groups. #AlaskaSky

KUAC: At $3,000, Pruhs' largest contribution came from the Republican Women of Fairbanks, which gave the same amount to some other conservative candidates in this year's elections. Local author John Foley has given the biggest single donation to the O'Neall campaign at $5,000. Haney has the fundraising edge, according to the reports, with roughly $36,000 to Roach's $30,000. The Republican Women of Fairbanks have made the largest single donation to Haney's campaign, as well, also in the amount of $3,000. The biggest single contribution to Roach's campaign is $2,000, which came from Ellen Bagley, of Sitka.

You cannot, in good faith, say you are resisting fascism while gleefully using Al. Not while acknowledging:
- the ecological harm
- the harm done to poor, usually Black communities
- the damage it does to our brains
- the damage it does to our mental health
- how it perpetuates hate
- it's potential to eliminate jobs
- how it's now being used to surveil people and so on.
Yes, it might have some good uses. Those "good" uses shouldn't be centered over the actual harm it's done.

CHATGPT WAS A FUN PARTY TRICK NOW IT'S TIME TO QUIT!
Here are just a few reasons why:

CHATGPT ENABLES ICE
OpenAl provides AI technology to ICE, which has doubled its
AI case use to meet aggressive daily deportation quotas.
CHATGPT IS HELPING CREATE AI-POWERED WEAPONS FOR WAR
OpenAI (CHATT's parent company agreed to let the Pentagon use its tech for "any lawful purpose," including killer robots and mass surveillance. (!!!!)
there is no ethical generative ai, period.

Using AI makes you stupid, researchers find
A study by researchers at MIT found people who relied on ChatGPT to write essays had lower brain activity than those who used their brain alone

Grungy old meme that says: Not now, sweaty, mommy’s cyber bullying politicians who use AI.

Last month, a #Fairbanks Republican posted an ai video of a Native child lobbying #AkLeg. Disgraceful.

Gen Al is bad for the planet, degrades our ability to see through misinfo and propaganda, and used for surveillance, CSAM, + war. Using AI makes it do those things more accurately. #FuckAI

Justice for William and Adam Rexford. The Rexford family deserves the truth and justice. On January 1st, 2026, William Rexford was unjustly murdered by Alaska State Troopers while experiencing a mental health crisis. His brother, Adam, was also shot and suffered life altering injuries, and miraculously survived. A mental health crisis should not be a death sentence.
Join us on April 11th at 2pm at Geist and University in Fairbanks in calling for the release of the body cam footage from the Alaska State Troopers, hear from the family, and call for justice.

Protest in solidarity with the Rexford family, whose sons were both senselessly shot by Troopers in their home, in front of their family. So far there has been no accountability or transparency from local police.

Stock said it's not uncommon for cases like her 12-year-old client's to arise, in which U.S. military personnel have children overseas with non-U.S. citizens, raising the question of citizenship for the child.
"The child was born outside the country, and his mother is not a U.S. citizen," Stock
said.
. "But his father is a U.S. citizen and a
U.S. military veteran. And the father has sworn under oath that he's the father."
By law, having a parent that's a U.S. citizen entitles the child to citizenship, Stock said.
For more than 18 months, Stock and other attorneys for the boy submitted evidence to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to support her client's case, including Akinleye's naval records, a DNA test from Akinleye's brother that suggests the boy is related to the family, and the boy's Turkish and Nigerian birth records.

Pitney opened the session by claiming she would not have had a successful career at the University of Alaska if there had been a staff union.

She said “management rights” multiple times. UA is FREAKED out about bargaining instead of having absolute power.

The University of Alaska’s so-called “listening session” on staff unionization was 1 hr of President Pitney taking questions like “can we de-unionize?” and “how do we opt out of paying dues?” from a PR director. No listening at all.

Anyways, UA union voting opens Wednesday. Vote YES! #AkLeg #Alaska
