Today’s exciting vote tally in Spokane County saw the race for D1 Spokane City Council flip to Sarah Dixit. Plus, Together Spokane for sure passed, and in Cheney one City Council seat keeps flipping www.inlander.com/news/dixit-s...

Don’t let information be a barrier to supporting your families, your neighbors, your community. Everyone in our region deserves to eat. Plz boost this far and wide!

It's been a crazy busy week with our team working on building this tool and I hope it can help our community get fed ❤️ This is what we mean when we say community is our bias. Spokane.food

I'm reeeeally excited for the post election analysis on this race

I think the WA-05 congressional district is winnable right now for Democrats with the right candidate focusing on the right issues. Here’s what I’d be looking for in a candidate:

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

This one's gonna be a nail biter for sure and the results would show District 1s appetite for a young, super progressive reps

I'm finally fulfilling my lifelong desire to get clear teeth aligners! But with the cleaning requirements for after eating and drinking, I can see it will be a true battle between my laziness and my need for little treats throughout the day.

Spokane food banks are seeing ‘COVID levels’ of stress on services, impacting 83,000 Spokanites. With the future of SNAP in jeopardy, here’s how our region is impacted and who is stepping up to help:

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models. OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so. A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

Me as I look at early election results for the school/park bond/levy: PUBLIC INDOOR POOOOOOOOOL!!!!

In today's edition of Ruining Perfectly Good Things With AI: Canva's stock image library is starting to get infiltrated with shitty AI images and they aren't labeled as such.

The people yearn for a train ride thats just a smidge longer than driving

I only recently tried the off brand soda that's really inexpensive and made in Spokane and it's really good! I will be only cracking open cold boi's from Spokane from now on

US citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents children would be coming to get bus, lawyers say

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them. After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer." www.calonews.com/featured-top...

Did you see the crane by the Monroe Street Bridge and wonder “what is that fishing for? Is it Lime scooters?” just like me and @valerieosier.bsky.social did? If so, thanks to an innocuous press release I almost didn’t open, I got the answer: rock relocation.

My message to the team when coming up with the art for this story: "ok i know this is objectively funny, but does it appear biased?" rangemedia.co/resolution-8...

conspiracy to make a cop go slow

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

brb pitching the long island medium on channeling dead Spokane politicians for a RANGE interview

personally really disappointed in the entire council on not just the ordinance itself but the fact that they pushed it through with no real warning or public input.

This is essentially the entire city council getting together to pass Prop 1 but even stricter because it applies to the whole city. Somehow, this is being painted a victory for collaboration when really it’s just the progressives giving the conservatives exactly what they asked for but harsher?

Breaking: District 2 residents sue to disqualify candidate Alejandro Barrientos from office. The lawsuit cites RANGE reporting on Barrientos’ ambiguous living arrangements in different districts in the year before he filed for candidacy.

The annoying thing about having a hatchback Prius that has historically fit an inordinate amount of large items is that now I think it can fit anything, including an 84 inch tall assembled cabinet. Tonight I have learned it cannot. 🙃

important job-related (i swear) question: When you think of "Do you follow Jesus this closely?" bumper stickers, what do those designs look like to you? (Please show examples!)

an absurd amount of tomatoes and peppers

We're here! Come hang out!!

I thought this was an Onion headline: Woman who cast dead mother's ballot for Trump must write essay on voting | AP News share.google/8SQgClvMyW1O...

I really think SPS should've led with "this will get us an public indoor pool" in all its marketing materials

is it embarrassing for me that i didn't realize there was a third Valley school district until very recently or is it embarrassing for Spokane Valley — with a population of ~100k — to have three separate school districts plus SPS??

wait i cant believe I missed this sweet KXLY package on our candidate forum! (this should've made national news too tbh) youtu.be/vlW7T_Kab_I?...

"AI doesn't have my spunk" - @merrywanderer.bsky.social

our contact form is nearly unusable bc ppl keep thinking we're a company that represents entertainers and they don't read. SO I'M GETTING AGGRESSIVE.

dystopian levels of capitalism

cant believe WSDOT's TikTok account revenue isn't just outright able to fund the roads. (Can govnt accounts be monetized??) washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/10/16/e...

I appreciate that the headline makes it sound like these cybertruck owners just have a degradation kink and I will now permanently think of them that way.

There are some legitimate uses of AI when paired with legislated environmental measures, but I cannot think of a single, even vaguely legitimate use or need for AI art, specifically videos of people.

god i love our alt-weekly

writing a grant app and reading this piece about the unnecessary death of Crosscut/Cascade PBS is pissing me off bc I know the CEO of Cascade makes over $500k/year. 🧵 www.cascadepbs.org/inside-casca...

What's the consensus on this year's flu and COVID vaccine? I just got mine and I'm hoping it doesn't make me feel crappy the next few days

clarinets aren't even the worst woodwind man

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Journalist Debbie Brockman: "Let them know" www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/10/w...

Civic engagement is not only alive but bumping in Spokane. We had 80+ people out for @rangemedia.co's PolitiCrawl!

Seeing pictures of an abandoned tamale cart in Pilsen where ICE took a tamale street vendor. Those photos of left behind carts are so haunting. Community members disappeared. Not just vendors but people who have long standing relationships with the community and people.

“My biggest fear is going to the hospital." Pregnant immigrants are terrified ICE will show up outside the doctors' office or at the hospital. So they're skipping the care necessary to ensure a healthy birth. Some experience dangerous complications as a result. 19thnews.org/2025/10/preg...

I feel like my biggest cooking flex is that I was craving Ethiopian food so much once that I made my own Berbere spice blend with an internet recipe
