Looks like we're going to get 3 judges confirmed this week with Democratic support. Up now is a cloture vote Susan Courtwright Rodriguez to be a District Judge for Western North Carolina. As of now, we have at least 1 member of the Democratic caucus giving this anti-choice nominee a yea vote.

Ho Ho Ho to your house!

I didn't have Hakeem Jeffries praising Trump for pardoning Henry Cuellar as the thing that would absolutely ruin my day, but just...truly...how in the world can people defend Hakeem Jeffries? How morally lost do you have to be to go to bat for someone who will never even pretend to protect you?

People with disabilities are funneled into the system starting at a young age: ➡️ As children, they face some of the highest rates of arrest & confinement. ➡️ And as adults, almost half a million people with disabilities are locked up in state prisons on a given day.

We have to apply pressure. Give Johnson a choice between being a hero or someone who has failed us, rather than simply casting him as a villain and accepting defeat. If you live in Chicago, share this piece with everyone you know and tell them to reach out to their alderman and the mayor's office.

If a legislator is good on transit and bad on human rights they are in fact a bad legislator

This is the coolest shit. Preserving one of these vehicles and repressing it like this is truly incredible. Jean Claude Van Justice is also a fantastic name

NEW from me & @alissaazar.bsky.social: This Dodge Grand Caravan was once used to snatch protesters off of #PortlandOR streets. Now, after its first oil change in 12,000 miles, the van is used for mutual aid in the Pacific Northwest. Read it below ⤵️

Policing is defunding Chicago.

15 minute exposure. 400 Satellites. And impossible situation for science.

That's a gorgeous shot and criminally defamed by satellites.

There's some revisionist history going around today so:

It seems so simple and maybe it IS more common than I realize... But it is so rare that we even frame full jails as a Failure of policing - that police are doing such a piss poor job in SERVING their community that the only thing they have the imagination & intelligence to do is fill the jails.

I regret every joke I’ve made about how our elected officials were so old they didn’t know how to use a computer. I would give anything for another administration that doesn’t know how to use a computer

Think about all the evil assholes in this administration. They *all* expect to die of old age, obscenely wealthy, surrounded by family, because that is how the US has allowed *every single previous evil asshole* to live after doing their atrocities. They learned they will never be punished.

I Read the book but had not seen the musical before I saw wicked 2 last night and now I have Opinions. This is my worst character trait

Food for thought: As families across the U.S. sit down for Thanksgiving dinner, it's hard not to think about the nutritionally inadequate slop that incarcerated people are fed every single day (including holidays). It doesn’t just taste bad – it’s a public health concern 🧵

Also let's pause to notice that if the suspect were a white Christian veteran, most of the discourse would be about "mental health," and maybe guns, rather than the racialized category of terrorism

Happy American Thanksgiving to all who celebrate, whether at home or abroad!🦃

This is appalling and wrong. AND, Biden deported Haitians to similar conditions throughout his term, including 20,000 people in a single month on 193 flights, which was until recently the record. Fight for these human beings, and keep fighting for them if/when the Dems return to power.

I am ready to go beyond implication and say after reading the facts here that one of the most recognizable people working in the White House almost certainly had ICE arrest her nephew's mother as a favor to her brother

"I DO NOT WISH TO BE PERCEIVED" Animated digital painting

Watching the episode where Thomas Riker joins the Maqui. Kiddo "so is Gul Dukat like their cardassian business friend now?"

You can support more journalism that equips you to fight back by becoming a RANGE member.

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

If you’re surprised, you should probably learn more about what prisons and jails are actually like in this country. Like I don’t mean this as a gotcha. I mean if this shocks you, you should really look more into it. We need more people who want to change this.

Everything i know about les mis is from watching ds9

food takes are what got jean valjean into trouble

Being moved to this prison means non-contact visits with family, isolation for up to 24 hours a day, and just four 15-minute phone calls a month. These conditions are so inhumane that one of the 37 commuted by Biden wishes he had never even received clemency:

Dear people who feel the need to drive 50mph on upriver: Trent is right there. Alternatively so is the Spokane river

Cops killed about the same number of Black people in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2020. 2019 was slightly more. There was another jump in 2021, setting a new record. 2022 higher than 2021. New record. 2023 higher than 2022. New record. 2024 higher than 2023. All time high. 2025 is back down to 2016.

Klitzke said this has been a tough process and she "didn't get everything she wanted." She said that they weren't going to cut all council staff and she doesn't know where the temporary/project employee thing came from (the budget meeting last Thursday, happy to post the recording).

Hoping Bingle blathers on long enough that Paul Dillon corrects him on the internet again

Funny how these spokane business assosiation types rediscover poverty whenever someone talks about a tax

We're in a budget deficit and can't afford to pay our staff, time to hire a consultant!

Council just decided to pass a new compromise amendment adopted as an emergency. That means the public will have to testify on a budget amendment they’ve never read. So we’re tapping the sign 👇👇

Need someone to make the nRonvidia shirt

Someone much more centrist than me said, "It's like the Democrats hate the left more than the GOP."

Oh shit range coming in hot! Seriously though, these staff cuts are so bad. Hopefully the Wilkerson/Dillon ammendment will pass. If council members want to fire staffers they should do that through the normal process and not hide behind budget cuts

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Took the dog for a walk, saw a raven and an osprey. The dog was much more excited about the squirels

Thinking about how when I (White) was in juvie for burglary, my cell mate (Indigenous) spent more time inside for their MIP probation violation than I did. I think about the kids I met back then all the time.

Med check achieved!

Found a new cursed job on indeed. Selling gun silencers for a local company at gun shows. 100% commission only

there are 4 types of guys on line. no. there are five.

Blessed are the peacemakers. 🖖🏻

Another week, another city council meeting with 650,000 dollars for spokane police. Cops have no business in mental health care. This grant should be rejected.
