Spokane may be small, but this is important for everyone, and deserves national attention: The conviction of the Spokane 3 has chilling, far-reaching implications for nonviolent protest, free speech, and democracy. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social

One of the hardest stories I’ve had to write.

Today in life under competitive authoritarianism

This is bad. Three Washington state protesters have been found guilty of federal conspiracy charges for sitting in front of a bus taking people to an immigration detention center in Tacoma, and now face 6 years. Six others took plea deals rather than going to trial. newrepublic.com/post/211138/...

BREAKING: Yesterday, a jury in Spokane convicted 3 individuals of felony conspiracy charges in connection with a protest outside a federal facility over the transfer of two men who were legally in the country to an immigration detention center.

The verdict in the Trial of the Spokane 3 yesterday was devastating for many of our community members, but for the three defendants - Jac Archer, Justice Forral and Bajun Mavalwalla II - the fight is not over. Read more on what the verdict means and what's next in their ongoing legal battle below.

SO important that yesterday's #Spokane3 trial verdict gets the national press it deserves; not only does it increase the chances of those 3 incredible community members receiving #justice, it warns others that #ICEprotests are being watched from the sky www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/u... @nytimes.com

@lizdye.bsky.social appreciate everything you and the Public Notice team do! Are y'all following the conspiracy trial of the 'Spokane 3' here in Spokane, WA? Jury deliberations continue today! Local independent outlet Range Media has done a fantastic job the past two weeks (and months!) covering it.
