My latest with colleague Aaron Hedge for FāVS News about the many definitions of what does and does not constitute Christian nationalism. @aaronhedge.bsky.social @favsnews.bsky.social favs.news/fpiw-washing...

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

Gotta tell y’all: this is a national story with huge implications.

This story is so much more than "people took a plea deal." This was a hard choice between fighting for what they believe in and what each person can reasonably endure. It's also a hallmark of our justice system to put people in that position.

Wow. It seems like the Trump admin is *actually* going too far to tolerate in several arenas. American fascism hasn't quite caught up with Trump fascism. Interesting. Hopeful? www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

@favsnews.bsky.social tells important stories about faith communities in the INW that would otherwise go unnoticed. They operate on a shoe-string (I know, I write for them) and need your support. Read 'em. But also give 'em money. mailchi.mp/favs/its-a-b...

Amazing reporting from Range, and not that I trust the local cops, but holy shit. 95% of searches being non local is wild

Read this please

Never know when a team of insurgents might be hiding behind a Takis end cap.

This was a really fun and hopeful story to report w/ @jenny888davis.bsky.social. Whatever the national narrative says, Moscow, we found, does not belong to Doug Wilson. Dominionism can be staved off.

i talked to RANGE about how the dominance Doug Wilson has been claiming over Moscow, ID on the national stage isn’t borne out in local elections:

A prominent Washington think tank led by a former Spokane Valley pastor is urging its members to collect signatures for ballot initiatives that would restrict queer rights and student privacy in the state. Written in partnership with @rangemedia.co @aaronhedge.bsky.social favs.news/washington-l...

We should have separate restrooms for Border Patrol agents.

This is a really big deal.

Really solid work here to connect people with food. Share it.

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

This is all recycled. Feucht has only one tune. It isn’t even seasonal. Halloween is a yearlong event for these folks.

Candace Owen’s is still doing her Kirk conspiracy stuff- in amongst it today Sean Feucht. Candace referred to the allegations from his own team. *let them fight* www.truthandfreedomstories.com

Hey all, passing along a tip call: Have you spent time in county jail recently? Did you have cash on you when you were booked and was some of that cash placed on a commissary card? If so, we want to talk to you about your experience! Send us a secure tip. rangemedia.co/about/range-...

All across the West, lawmakers are skipping over the will of voters and yanking fluoride from municipal water systems. My latest story for @highcountrynews.org takes a deep dive into the fight over fluoride in the age of MAHA. www.hcn.org/issues/57-11...

Dis coo

This is fucking amazing.

Enshittification is real. And literal.

At Spokane’s No Kings protest, I saw thousands of American flags, veteran baseball caps, sweet grandmothers, moms and dads with small children and Bible quotes alongside inflatable animal costumes, furries, trans folks in flannel w pride banners and no counterprotesters.

if anyone wants to let Mariah Carey know, we have a vocal trainer offer for her specifically in our inbox 😭

Latest story for FāVS News: Does political rhetoric, some saying people who believe different are "evil," and praising Jesus belong in the same speech or gathering? Got to cover this with my colleague Aaron Hedge. @aaronhedge.bsky.social @favsnews.bsky.social favs.news/charlie-kirk...

There's a lot local governments can do abt climate change, both in terms of adapting and slowing the crisis. In the long term, solutions will save money. But the classic short-term bugaboo - $ shortfalls to implement policy - have some candidates for local office skeptical.

Reading Chomsky from 2006. Good god, we were so naive.

So Rebel News has come out with a story claiming they found the alleged “smoke-bomber” guy from Toronto. Sean’s caption: “Had my name on a list - Hates Christians - Works for the Canadian Military as a contractor - Operates with Antifa inside the military”

🎵We're bringing it, we're bringing it, we're bringing it back! 🎶 All Spokane voters over the age of 21 are invited to join us on Oct 10 for our second annual PolitiCrawl: Politics (& Pints) for the People, coming soon to a bar near you! If you're unfamiliar with the PolitiCrawl, here's the gist:

I encourage all the media outlets who are about to send people to ”war ravaged” Portland to think twice. Some of the strongest extremism reporters in the country live in this region; journalists who understand the culture of the Northwest and the history of activism here. Do it right this time okay?

"K2C visited every capitol building in the US between 2023 and 2024, arguing with song and testimony that the American public square should be controlled by God, not the voters"

Important read exposes how #CharlieKirk built a network to advance his anti-LGBTQ+ Christian nationalist agenda. Despite Kirk's extremist views, his death is being sanitized by supporters who paint him as a moderate martyr. bit.ly/4mvAJLx #TPUSA #ChristianNationalism #Extremism #Politics

The fossil fuel industry is behind most of the climate disinformation you see and hear today. Charlie Kirk was no exception.

I wrote about Kirk’s organizing in the INW. rangemedia.co/charlie-kirk...

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

Last year, the anti-queer worship pastor Sean Feucht sued the city of Spokane, saying the city council had damaged his reputation. Today, the Spokane County Superior Court dismissed the lawsuit, saying Feucht’s claims were baseless. Read more here: my.spokanecity.org/news/release...

I KNOW THATS RIGHT my.spokanecity.org/news/release...

"Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don’t know. But the most telling detail in Klein’s column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself." Ta-Nehisi Coates, with receipts.

If you’re a journalist writing about the Kirk murder and you don’t know what the Groyper Wars are, I beg you to find someone who knows what the Groyper Wars are before you write your article

This is a big development for the West Plains. rangemedia.co/wa-state-spo...

Absolutely amazing reporting and research by @merrywanderer.bsky.social and @lpangborn.bsky.social on all the Flock cameras in Spokane County

In 1985, dozens of Spokanites signed a Sanctuary Covenant, promising to protect a Salvadoran refugee family at St. Anne's parish. Among the signers was our mayor, who declared a state of emergency this summer during an ICE protest. We don't stop authoritarianism by keeping quiet but with courage.

We cooked up something hot: a live event for voters who want to see their politicians sweat.

This is going to be so interesting. Great reporting by @reportertracy.bsky.social. religionnews.com/2025/08/12/d...

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.
