#Alaskans’ struggles are a microcosm of what poor & rural Americans face across the country. When the social safety net is riddled with holes, people fall through…

"Cooper attributes some of the struggle her food-insecure neighbors face to the disappearance of fish in the Bering Strait, particularly king salmon, which have seen a dramatic decrease in population in recent years amid rising sea temperatures & massive trawling operations that accidentally scoop up the fish."

Inside the Hunger Crisis in America’s Last Frontier

Alaska’s unique challenges make it difficult to obtain healthy food and adequate medical care. Are the Trump administration and Congress making it worse?

Would appreciate if #Alaskans could boost this and repost it on other social media.

This little goatee'd troll at Porkey's Chops & Cheese at the #Alaska state fair was openly wearing a Waffen-SS shirt on Thursday night.

We've attached a picture of the fascist and the exact shirt he was wearing. We don't have a picture of him in it (yet!) because he put a hoodie on after we confronted him on Thursday.

Avoid this #nazi food stand if you're at the Alaska State Fair.

a #thirdparty in the actual statistical middle of US politics would create an emergency brake for most of the the #madking baloney.

#Murkowski, and maybe #Collins should consider becoming #independents, and help the creation of a party of the center, by virtue of first becoming a blocking faction...

maybe some democracy-friendly #Alaskans could bend her ear...

In Denali’s shadow, little love for again calling the mount McKinley

President Trump’s executive order to rename the Alaska peak — North America’s highest — perplexes and worries many who live in its snow-shrouded midst.

'Infantile' Trump trashed by Alaskans for 'dumb' mountain name change: report

While the majority of attention has been focused on Donald Trump's decision to rename the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America," leading to the banning of the Associated Press from White House functions for their failure to comply with the president's edict, Alaskans are fuming at the renaming o...

Heart Failure On The Rise Among Young Americans: More than 1 in every 4 Americans develop life-threatening heart failure during their lives, and many will develop it while they are young. #heartfailure #death #obesity #hypertension #blackamericans #alaskans #hispanicamericans

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Heart Failure On The Rise More than one in every four Americans will develop life-threatening heart failure during their lives, and many will develop it while they are young. Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine and Stanford University report that 6.7 million of us older than 20 have failing hearts and that number will nearly double to 11.4 million over the next 25 years. One-third of the US population or as many as 117 million are at risk for heart failure. The proportion of younger persons with heart failure is increasing faster than the proportion of elders suffering from it. Black Americans, Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, and Hispanic Americans are at particular risk. The highest heart failure death rates occur in the Midwest and Southern states. Since heart failure is the cause of 45% of cardiovascular deaths, you do want to prevent your heart from giving out too early. The strategies you can employ to keep your heart pumping effectively: keep your weight under control, maintain a normal blood pressure, exercise, eat healthy, and stop smoking. https://onlinejcf.com/article/S1071-9164(24)00232-X/fulltext#app-1 #heartfailure #death #obesity #hypertension #blackamericans #alaskans #hispanicamericans"
