i feel like this instagram reel gets truer every day

Talarico starts by thanking everyone for being there, including Crockett, and reminding us all that he’s a “proud union member” and that the “real fight in this country” isn’t “left versus right” -- it’s “top vs bottom”

Seems like a real threat to national security

This is a wild section

57 years ago Martin Luther King Jr. called for a multiracial struggle to spur a “radical revolution of values.” Today, it’s clear why: the fight for justice requires an army bigger than just those directly oppressed. It will take race traitors and class traitors. It will take all of us.

What a Cuomo-ass way to approach tax equity.

Really heartwarming scene at LC today. I could hear the chants walking up from three blocks away.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

MLB beat writer: talk a little about the rally in the 7th, what did you tell your guys with regard to changing their approach at the plate NBA beat writer: in your estimation does the proletariat benefit from a properly educated and organized vanguard party in the nascent stages of revolution

Imagine if Spokane had this guy, instead of the petit oligarchs we have.

The plea deal turns a potential felony sentence that could mean six years in federal prison and $250,000 in fines into three years of probation and a few thousand dollars in restitution costs.

This wasn't an easy decision for any of them to make i'm sure, and in a better world we can hope that they wouldn't have had to. the fight for mikki and the others is not over tho. let's not give up

What a strange and fragrant melange of personalities we’ve assembled @rangemedia.co

Every newsroom in the US is raising money right now. It can be hard to break through. (The Intercept is once again struggling to make its goal.) In these difficult times, @merrywanderer.bsky.social had an out of the box idea to help RANGE stand out. Happy giving Tuesday! rangemedia.co/support-us/

he never looks at JD that way

Waiting with bated breath for Larry Stone to commit hundreds of thousands of dollars to combating this scourge on our streets.

The rumors of Gonzaga's demise blah blah blah blah.

This is unfair. Kennedy returned moments later with an enormous syringe filled with the blue 10,000 Flushes fluid and administered life-saving aid.

Who should we be honoring other than Bing Crosby?

Also, people in town are fighting Wilson’s land grab using innovative structures like permanent real estate cooperatives, which “permanently take land out of the speculative market.” There’s cool shit happening on the hillbilly side of the Cascades, if you dare to look. www.theselc.org/prec_pilot

Was not a fan of the man, personally, but he was so important for representation.

Zoomer colleague ordering from a restaurant they have called “Millennial” (derogatory): “what the fuck is evoo and why is it on everything?!”

Good for them. It's been a while since the Far Side Legion got to see some action. abcnews.go.com/US/texas-nat...

Reaaally want to know the story here

New excuse unlocked

Really good company to be in, right here. Proud as hell that @rangemedia.co is worker-owned.

Journalists are only as good as their sources and we got great sources. Thanks @katebitz.bsky.social

🧵 At RANGE, we love our stats and data. Here’s a bit about Spokane’s Spiciest Candidate Forum, held at The Guardian this weekend: - 150+ people in attendance - 5 out of the 6 city council candidates took the Hot Seat - candidates + RANGE reporter Erin drank over 1 full gallon of milk

There's also a laundry list of people we need to thank for their role in making this spicy dream a sweaty reality! First, Chef Tony Brown, who designed some downright dangerously delicious wings + a delicious menu for the crowd (ft. a potato salad editor @lukebaumgarten.bsky.social is addicted to)

These people are sick and it seems like the horrors will never cease. But you change one element and …

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"

If they’re freaking out over this Shaolin monk, wait until they hear about RZA, ODB and, perhaps especially, Ghostface. www.wsj.com/world/china/...

Lol www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/n...

I fear the answer is simple: This is cuck shit. When institutions like @apnews.com decided journalism should be “objective” — training writers & eds to ignore (or worse, mistrust) their own subjectivity — they were choosing to stop vaccinating against bullshit. /1

Not sure he has any power left on the contemporary right, but hearing “defund ICE” and “defund DHS” from the lips of Bill Kristol is wild

Please, God: let him prevail. deadline.com/2025/07/jere...

Anyone know if Natalie or Rachel are still kicking around Spokane? I’d love to talk to them at length about KEZE Rock 106. I was partial to KZZU the Zoo, myself, but respect. www.newyorker.com/teen-agers-i...

Couldn’t agree more, @sanders.senate.gov. Since starting @rangemedia.co, we’ve had two twenty-something colleagues able to buy homes. I don’t know for sure, but I bet those numbers for would rival all other Spokane newsrooms combined since 2020. Cooperatives reverse inequality. Period

Next on the film pod I've never mentioned here before: middle-aged Spokie beer-leaguers joined @benjiwade.bsky.social and I to talk Eephus & the joy of gathering to play a game you love, even when the field's gonna be bulldozed. YT: youtube.com/watch?v=7mdJ... + anywhere fine podcasts are streamed

I just saw a different survey that broke housing down by units built, and by that measure, cities like Boise are still way ahead of us, but they aren’t on this list. That suggests we might be building smarter, not harder (that 12% drop is the 6th biggest rent decline in the US):

It's so glaringly obvious just talking to people what they're looking for from elected leaders right now, but the stats back it up, too. Kitchen table issues are galvanizing, across difference.

At some point working people are just going to completely swear off the Democratic Party and it will be 100% Democrats’ fault.

Organizers like Forral told me they thought federal charges were a possibility, but the arrest of Jac Archer — who was not arrested on June 11 — was truly surprising. It's also a potential escalation in how federal authorities are retaliating against organizers engaging in civil disobedience.

I’m not expert on NYC politics but doesn’t this just help Mamdani? Further splinters the anti- vote? www.nytimes.com/2025/07/14/n...

I’ve heard about this blog from a few people, but I hadn’t seen it until just now. Folks are calling it a hit piece, but I think they just made me sound really cool. Probably cooler than I am. The quote’s accurate, though, so you be the judge.

Agents of the state hiding themselves is something no one in a free society should tolerate. These people are authorized by the state to do violence. They take public paychecks. We gotta demand public scrutiny. freedom.press/issues/ice-w...

It’s always the workers who suffer.
