Boats used for seal hunting are moored on the lagoon side of Shishmaref, Alaska, an Inupiat village of about 600 people near the Bering Strait, just a few miles from the Arctic Circle, Oct. 1, 2022. Rising sea levels, flooding, increased erosion and loss of protective sea ice and land have led residents of this island community to vote twice to relocate. But more than six years after the last vote, Shishmaref remains in the same place because the relocation is too costly, the places chosen are not optimal, and perhaps most importantly, there are no places like Shishmaref.(AP Photo / Jae C.

It’s a message repeated over and over at ReAwaken — one that upends the constitutional ideal of a pluralist democracy. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
