Lincoln has a glory pole for freeing all the slaves of Alaska. Seward has a shame pole for buying Alaska and opening the land up to settlers like ok’ing for precious metals and oil. #alaskanative #indigenouspeoplesday

46% of Alaska Native village water systems have no certified operator. Some have had E. coli contamination. GAO found the federal agencies responsible aren't coordinating — and nobody's tracking who's actually watching the water. #AlaskaNative #TribalWater #DrinkingWater #GovernmentAccountability…
Forty Six Percent of Alaska’s Village Water Systems Have Nobody Watching Them
GAO finds 46 percent of Alaska Native village water systems lacked a certified operator in fiscal year 2025, a gap tied directly to two 2025 E. coli contamination events and a 2024 sewage overflow failure.

My last kid and her husband are almost to Anchorage, and then a tiny plane to the village tomorrow. Their dad is at the very end of his journey and I'm hoping they make it before his soul embarks. He knows she's coming. #Alaska #AlaskaNative

📢someone do something fast! Now jr says young boys have low sperm counts & aren't making babies as fast as they should.

rwnj CN pervs😈
🤣Maybe it's Celibacy? They're kids!
Why Trump and his creepy minions want white women to make more babies Trump wants women in the US to have more babies, as long as they’re white “The White House has been hearing out a chorus of ideas in recent weeks for persuading Americans to get married & have more children, an early sign that the Trump admin will embrace a new cultural agenda pushed by many of its allies on the right to reverse declining birthrates & push conservative family values” The New York Times reported earlier this week That’s quite a dramatic shift in conservative thinking about family planning, for decades, it has consisted of claims that “Black & brown mothers are having babies for those sweet welfare benefits.” That is changing now that the idea of population collapse has been gaining steam in right-wing circles In 2022, Musk tweeted “Population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming” Vance talked about it in his first post-election speech, included the words, “I want more babies in the USA" To keep the population steady, the fertility rate must hover at 2.1 children per woman. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, here are the fertility rates per demographic group as of 2022: Native Hawaiian & other Pacific Islander: 2.238 Hispanic: 1.970 Black: 1.639 White: 1.568 American Indian/Alaska Native: 1.47 Asian: 1.353 Why do these people think having a bunch of babies will save the world? The workforce will shrink, leading to lower productivity, economic stagnation & shrinking tax base to fund the services required by an aging population Rising health care & pension costs. Cities across this country are already suffering budget problems supporting pensions of former municipal workers & corp America faces the same issue, then there’s the need to fund Social Security & Medicare Less innovation & entrepreneurship. Those areas are the domain of the young & those less tied to the “It’s always been done that way” thinking. Lower property values & population loss. Many living in expensive urban areas wish housing prices would go down, rural America is already feeling the effects of declining population. Cities would not be immune in the long run, many are already affected—Oakland, California, had to close schools because of declining enrollment. Fewer caregivers to take care of older people. One major factor that could offset the challenges of declining birth rates: immigration. Yes, that bogeyman that conservatives hate the most. The problem is that most immigrants aren’t white—if they were, conservatives probably wouldn’t be sweating right now. It bears exploring why birth rates are declining among nearly all American demographics. Most of the reasons are a direct response to Repubs' policies that only care about babies before they're born. Day care is impossibly expensive. Yet Repubs fiercely oppose universal daycare & are against universal preschool. Working families can not afford to have children. Health care's too expensive, adding children to the house only compounds that expense. Repubs, are against any sort of universal health care that would make it easier for families to add to their roster There’s the ongoing GOP war on abortion. In red states, the fear of miscarriage & being unable to end high-risk pregnancies that threaten the life of the mother is real. Infant mortality in Texas increased by 13% after abortion was banned. The main factor? Fatal birth defects The U.S. is 1 of only 6 countries without paid maternity leave. Repubs are so hostile to postpartum time off for mothers that House Repubs fought proxy voting for new mothers tooth & nail, even though the proposal originated from a Repub member. Every “no” vote in the Senate for the Family Leave Act was from a Repub even though its unpaid. Efforts to expand maternal leave in individual states are contested by the GOP. How are families supposed to have babies when they can’t even take time off to care for a newborn? College is too expensive, Reps. are doing everything they can to keep it that way, they're trying to destroy schooling outright, literally working to eliminate the Department of Education. School lunches for kids? No. Vaccinations to keep kids alive & healthy? No, even if kids die How about policies keeping minimum wage low & a Wall Street culture encouraging a growing wage gap between working Americans & the CEO/investor class? One-income households are almost impossible in this day & age, making it harder for families to have more children. Not everyones like Trump’s “first buddy” Musk, with his limitless money & weird “legion” of babies Indeed, a Brookings Institution study estimated that it costs $310,000 to raise a child from birth to 17. That’s nothing for Musk, for most Americans, the math is tough. Liberals aren’t blameless. Housing is too expensive, its difficult for young people to buy bigger homes necessary to have a larger family. This is a result of “not in my backyard” crowd that opposes building additional affordable housing in high-cost regions. So what are Trump’s minions proposing to overcome all this? Not cheaper health care, that’s for sure, as they still grouse about Obamacare while planning to gut Medicaid. Not better wages, or more flexible time off for new parents. That would be “anti-business.” One proposal shared with aides would reserve 30% of scholarships for the Fulbright program, the prestigious, government-backed international fellowship, for applicants who are married or have children Another would give a $5k “baby bonus” to every American mother after delivery. A third calls on the government to fund programs that educate women on their menstrual cycles so they can better understand when they are ovulating & able to conceive. Another proposal floating around in Trumpland: granting a “National Medal of Motherhood” to women with 6 or more children. Plummeting population rates are a serious problem but these are not serious people.
