We’ve been talking a lot about adding a little more alt-weekly swag and I think this nails it. Great work @merrywanderer.bsky.social

I just saw Taylor Swift hop around hugging Mariska Hartigay. What a time to be alive.

We are committed to getting more nickels.

This week has been A LOT and we're all processing a lot of emotions right now. So we wanna know: what music are you listening to to get through it? We're making a playlist, so put ur faves 👇

Just got a survey from my university asking how I use AI in research, wanting details on barriers to use as well as burdens that AI has reduced for me. Not one question about barriers or burdens that the use of AI has created. So the unstated position is that it must be good. This is advertorial.

The attorneys for the defense have said they plan to appeal the verdict, but before that they will ask the judge to overturn it in a Rule 29 hearing in five weeks.

Almost the whole @rangemedia.co team was down at the press conference afterward. What I saw, personally: a lot of tears, a lot of anger, an overwhelming resolve to keep fighting.

Recap of the end of oral arguments. Verdict likely tomorrow.

Damn. Well said

No verdict tonight.

And now, we wait.

This is a fascinating development.

We are so back. Heard scuttlebutt from lawyer friends all weekend wondering if the defense will ask and if the judge would grant summary judgment. Not many folks think the Feds made their case.

Who wants to help change the world?

I continue to be so proud of this team. It can be scary turning a lens on any government, especially this current federal government. Truth, diligence and moral clarity still mean something, and have a powerful way of leveling even the most slanted playing field.

Most people were supportive of our decision, but I got a sense that some weren't. Like maybe we were high on our own supply. What could Erin know that other reporters didn't know — that perhaps even Defense attorneys and prosecutors didn't know? Turns out, a lot:

A few weeks ago lawyers tried to subpoena my colleague Erin Sellers to *testify* in the trial of the Spokane 3. We fought that, believing she would be more valuable to the people of Spokane in the press gallery, not the witness stand. The Spokesman wrote about it. www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

Spokane 3 trial is already spicy as hell and we’ve barely begun. Follow @rangemedia.co dispatches from @merrywanderer.bsky.social

I know this lady husband name not “dick tips”

Can you tell if I’m being offered sex, drugs or perhaps just Kenny Loggins?

Do you think Democrats will ever get over the West Wing?

Yes, "Special"

Doing morning email at a downtown coffee shop for the first time in months. Remembering my favorite game to play: Lumberjack or Creative Director?

We have, in fact, been getting a lot of folks reaching out.

I don’t think I’ve seen this Guy Ritchie movie

So it seems we're just starting wars in the name of the turn-the-other-cheek guy. What clowns.

Imagine what we could do domestically with $2 billion a day. Now imagine what we could do with $20 billion.

Also, can someone inject this sentence and the newsrooms we’re sharing space with directly into my veins? These aren’t cute little proof-of-concept shops. @defector.com, @hellgatenyc.com and (I’d humbly suggest) @rangemedia.co are among the best in the game, *because* we pay writers well, period.

@neeldhanesha.com took so much time to understand the unique tailwinds and drag forces of operating a newsroom as a worker cooperative. Our convo alone was 1.5 hours. Can’t imagine how long he spent on this piece. Deep, smart, thoughtful work. Thank you. www.niemanlab.org/2026/02/jour...

I'm really proud of our little team, man. @rangemedia.co can't report on everything, but the stuff we hit, we hit hard. The two pieces of breaking news we just published couldn't have had the depth they had without a community who trusts with scoops well before official press releases drop.

Also BREAKING: two @spokanepd.bsky.social officers showed up to last week's vigil for Alex Pretti in masks and plain clothes, prompting an apology from Chief Hall. from @aaronhedge.bsky.social and I. rangemedia.co/spd-masks-he...

BREAKING: One of the men detained on June 11 was released under a judge's order and is back in Spokane, writes @merrywanderer.bsky.social rangemedia.co/ice-protest-...

This is the only way to get jobs numbers up, sorry

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/
