Smacked your last god.

You’ve tamed your last impala.

The Spokane 3 case gets more and more crazy, and this story in @motherjones.com reveals another wild turn: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NEW PODCAST EPISODE! Aaron Hedge spoke with Tracy Simmons (of FāVS News) about the history of FāVS and how it came to be, Tracy’s work and involvement with FāVS, the religious beat in journalism, and why religion reporting is important right now, in this current moment.

What’s remarkable about all this stuff is the stolen valor. You didn’t build shit, you won a birth lottery. You are a podcaster not Emperor Vespasian. bsky.app/profile/just...

Today, the board voted to axe all nine programs, even though faculty recommended only four and the president and provost recommended only seven. Read some contextual pieces below.

This is a story about hope. This is a story of three daring escapes. It’s May 2026. Jeremy Root, Seamus Galligan and Joseph Sampson are alive. And none of them are homeless:

The Spokesman-Review photojournalists are incredible. What else can you really say, wow.

Spokane’s small.

Really interesting piece on Russell Johnson by @dombon.bsky.social. www.thebulwark.com/p/meet-the-m...

This story has been a rollercoaster. Here’s my report from a couple days ago. www.rangemedia.co/who-where-we...

This moved fast. www.rangemedia.co/who-where-we...

Never thought we'd say it: we're going back to Bundyville. This month @thewesternedge.bsky.social we revisit the Bundys, and talk about how the same conspiracy charges that were used to prosecute them were used to convict three protesters in Spokane. www.thewesternedge.media/p/a-return-t...

The new ICE training program is right on track. youtu.be/KqCbRgIxxss?...

SUCH and interesting analysis of the idea of manhood in the military. The queer angle is amazing. (Guys, the military is SUPER gay.) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/k...

Extensive, informative coverage of the #Spokane 3 case by @rangemedia.co

And this piece, hell yeah. www.rangemedia.co/spokane-3-tr...

Some of the most beautiful photography I’ve ever seen here. Attributable to Sandra Rivera, who just graduated from Gonzaga U. Former j student of mine. Former @rangemedia.co intern. And great reporting by my colleague @bydaisy.bsky.social. Link below. www.rangemedia.co/a-shocked-ci...

This shit in context of what happened in Spokane this week — and all over — wow. Fascism is powerful in our country right now.

Did the Times also get bought out by the Onion?

🚨This desperately needs national attention: 3 people were just convicted of FEDERAL CONSPIRACY for protesting ICE last June. It's pretty similar to the #Broadview6 case with @katmabu.bsky.social that was recently dismissed.

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.

Our institutions keep proving the worst of themselves. Our people keep proving the best. I have some hope in that

Please tell me journalism still matters

It’s so inspiring and interesting to see this community come together in this way at this time.

I came up in the military and the power industry. Those are “hurry-up-and-wait” professions because people you work for don’t have their shit together. News is also a “hurry-up-and-wait” job, but I like it a lot better because, mostly, it’s people you work *about* who hold things up.

Mavalwalla’s attorney Ahmed will be flying out tomorrow. We are released and Pennell said she might not make a public announcement as to when deliberations will restart.

And now, we wait.

Pete Serrano, Special Attorney to the Attorney General of The United States and the First Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Washington, is in the courtroom for closing arguments in the #Spokane3 case.

Ken Paxton likes to sexualize his maker. 😳

Matt Shea is sustaining the most ironic erection in the history of the universe. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/u...

Mavalwalla works in construction. Read about it here. www.rangemedia.co/what-you-nee...

This debate is so interesting. I’m not a lawyer, but this conversation has nothing to do with whether there was an agreement to commit a crime. That’s a central question in this case. Whether Bajun elbowed someone or not doesn’t speak to that question.

We are back in the courtroom for The Trial of the Spokane 3. It's the sixth day of the trial and today the defense will begin to make their case.

A source of mine calls the Spokane County Courthouse “The Disneyland Building.” Yep.

Yo, RANGE is hiring. One the best places to work in media in the entire universe.

This is so perfect. “Your behavior doesn’t assuage those concerns.” “(It’s a look, too be sure.)” I think we’ll be alright, and I’m so fucking proud to be part of a team that points out the clownery of folks who don’t like a free press.

The journalist is a human being reporting events accurately through a lens!!! What a scandal!!!

Oh my god, a journalist has a point t of view!!!

I tried for like three seconds to put myself in the shoes of the prosecution, and I had to stop because it was detrimental to my mental health.

In general, law enforcement officer come across in this trial as homophobic, transphobic, racist. I want to give them grace, as I do all people I talk to, bc I believe there are a lot of LEOs with good intentions who want to serve the public well, but this is a bad stain on the community in general.

Just, like, how?

Wow.

Small issue, but this confirms it was in fact the same Burlingame who supported shoving protesters around and instigating the bodily violence at the protest.

This whole thread was amazing. God bless @merrywanderer.bsky.social for live tweeting it

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.

Incredible reporting showing an ICE agent at the center of Trump's attempt to punish freedom of speech in Spokane case has posted racist, homophobic, misogynistic tweets under his own name, including about this case. This is why local outlets owned by journalists, not MAGA billionaires are critical
