I was on a radio show/podcast with KUOW - the NPR affiliate in Seattle - this morning! Check out Soundside here if you prefer to listen to your trial updates :) omny.fm/shows/sounds...

Hunter Fieri or Hunter Biden? Please discuss

Come work with me! :)

Headline joke written by @danieltwalters.bsky.social

This was maybe the best day of my career as a journalist so far. Seeing my investigative work have such an immediate impact that even the federal govt is agreeing this man should be impeached for his “horrendous” tweets…that’s fuel for more 12 hour days. See yall next Tuesday!

Truly shocking just how much of this afternoon was watching drone footage of Jac Archer sitting, walking with a clipboard or talking to people.

An interesting break in trial coverage!

Official story, with details from the opening statements that didn't make BSKY earlier!

Missed headline opportunity…a confidential source just old me during lunch break they made someone watching in the overflow room turn their shirt inside out because it read “ICE can gargle my balls.”

For nearly eight hours on Monday, Judge Rebecca Pennell, lawyers from the federal government and lawyers representing Jac Archer, Justice Forral and Bajun Mavalwalla II questioned a pool of more than 100 prospective jurors about their beliefs and potential bias.

One huge reason to read local news instead of the big national syndicates parachuting in: we know the gender of the defendants. NYT does not.

We've been noticing an influx in Spokane for about four years now. Our proximity to Idaho and relative affordability make Spokane a prime relocation destination for trans refugees. The more the merrier I say. Seldom am I the only trans person in a given space anymore. It's beautiful.

Lawyers approved this message so legally speaking I am now “a great reporter”

BREAKING: A lawyer for former Spokane health officer Dr. Bob Lutz says he has signed a $1.65M settlement with the health district in his wrongful termination lawsuit. The health board met in executive session earlier this week but did not publicly vote on anything www.inlander.com/news/lawyer-...

Where’s the Hunter Fieri nepo baby discourse? Can’t believe the mayor of Flavortown gives preferential contract to his son on official government contracts

I’ll be at this trial, every single day, publishing briefs and (potentially) live posting so everyone can follow along! Here’s your pre-read:

FIRE attorney Adam Steinbaugh, meanwhile, had a more cutting informal response after RANGE sent him the text of Woodward’s proposed suit. “I prefer it in the original crayon,” Steinbaugh said. “Is it being placed on someone’s fridge?”

Hmmm, there couldn't possibly be a reason these Latino-owned businesses don't trust or engage with government, could there? 🤔

Wasting eggs on my car? In this economy??? Weirdo behavior

Took the bus downtown so I can get hammered at the only Chilis in Washington..,I love Spokane

Lmao I guess the real estate career isn’t going so well

Content farms using AI and/or cheap overseas labor to mass request bod camera footage for their clickbait YouTube channele are ruining the free public requests process. Sometimes they even imply this is journalism. Curses upon their households

This aged…interestingly

Ok yes fair…now do all the Trump admin officials doing the same thing

when you’re looking at patterns of hate violence, a huge problem is that people become more willing to act when their bigotry is socially reinforced. you used to have to join a group for that, or at least seek out literature like the turner diaries. then came the internet. and now this.

There will be a trial for three of the Spokane defendants, charged with conspiracy by the Feds after responding to a Facebook post calling for people to protest the unlawful detainment of two young immigrants

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

Man, we have the same conversations every time a major story like this breaks. It’s exhausting. It is SO HARD to publish a story about gendered violence for a whole host of reasons, a main one being that victims (rightly so!) don’t want to talk.

A world where all the town news is the fb town page, the fb uncensored town page & the fb super duper uncensored town page is a smaller and sadder world where we are all left with less.

I guess we're just waiting around to see if this demented psychopath kills everyone: defector.com/i-guess-were...

Also, if you, as an elected official, do not do anything out of the ordinary today in order to try and put a stop to this, then the signal gets through to the general public that what the president is doing is ordinary.

My new toxic trait is making and then later cancelling Genius Bar reservations to fix my broken work laptop screen

Poynter found more than 70 stories dating back to October that included reporting, writing and photography from local journalists without attribution. www.poynter.org/ethics-trust...

For all that WA state officials like to talk about protecting immigrants, they’re leaving huge loopholes for federal agents to access data. In som cases, there are devastating consequences.

Plz don’t let this be an April fools joke

Corporate April Fools Day posts make me feel violent

Not Cascade PBS doing an entire series on "combating the decline of local news" after firing everyone in their own newsroom.

It turns out that arresting a lot more people for homelessness resulted in Spokane city’s public defender office being absolutely swamped with cases. Who would’ve predicted that?

Average immigration detention deaths per month from FY 2010 to FY 2024: 0.69 Average immigration detention deaths per month in FY 2025: 1.75 Average immigration detention deaths per month so far in FY 2026: 4.6 www.npr.org/2026/03/10/g...

Also if you want bragging rights for beating my bracket, join our RANGE community bracket challenge 😈 (Just to prove my bonafides, one time I had a bracket ranked 216th in the world….until Gonzaga lost the game right after this)

I have never giggled so much when reading a RANGE story. @danieltwalters.bsky.social’s newest takes a long hard look at the fake basketball news flooding Facebook

I am judging this chili cook-off alongside @sardixit.bsky.social and a rep from SCAR! :) come make chili and bid on art!

Finally someone recognizes the power of my urbanism columns

This is so petty but when people who pretend to be experts on journalism share clearly AI generated videos I just have to giggle

Last year, a former worker from LeS approached me; they’d seen my reporting Planned Parenthood labor conditions and they wanted to trust me with their story.

I never imagined growing up in Idaho that one day I could bike to work! In Spokane, I can, and even in the last year I’ve watched new infrastructure on my route get put in to make it safer :)

ICE has jailed journalists as part of its mass deportation campaign. One unintended side effect: firsthand accounts of detention conditions from trained reporters. theappeal.org/ice-incarcer...

Do any of my Spokane moots have recommendations for a good person to do my taxes? Bought a house this year and I’m out of my depth
