As the charges of those arrested shake out tonight, The @rangemedia.co team and I are going to be paying attention to who got charged by @spokanepd.bsky.social and how severely.

Spokane, Washington mayor issues curfew tonight in response to ICE protest. Follow worker-owned @rangemedia.co for updates.

Yet another Spokane Country Sheriff going full-on bat-shit political. Ozzie 2.0 fully engaged.

Fuckin' Schumered.

I’m a United States Army veteran. I crewed AH-1 Cobras, UH-1 Hueys, and UH-60 Blackhawks. I’d serve under Zelenskyy rather than Trump any day. Trump and his hand picked “reporters” do not represent me or the county I once served.
President Zelenskyy, I apologize to you for having to deal with Trump.

This is so fucked up and embarassing.

If the richest man in the world rapidly disassembles every agency or institution capable of holding him accountable is there a way to stop him without violence?

His economic violence is real violence. Bullies force you to debase yourself to defend yourself.

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.

TWENTY.

As in, they call that getting slammed.

So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.

TWENTY is a lot.

Oh damn. That really really sucks.

I hope people can start to get it. It’s the corrupt and power hungry against the rest of us.

Leave behind the paradigms you’ve been fed your entire life. It boils down to a class war with a group of criminals on one side and the rest of us on the other.

Do it now. Do it often. Don’t stop.

Do we need change? 1000% yes. But not like this. Power seems to break the best in us, but we also have such an incredible capacity for good. We make all the rules and we could be doing so much better.

For those that saw this coming, it’s terrifying. But don’t freeze. Go find even a tiny way to resist, do it. Do it now, do it often, don’t stop.

If you got roped in. It ok. But now if you find even a tiny way to resist, do it. Do it now, do it often, don’t stop.

I can forgive a Trump voter. They were fed a lot of lies. Many got conned. But if you see what’s happening now and are still all in? Congrats you’re a Nazi or whatever its modern equivalent is.

I beg you, if you find even a tiny way to resist, do it. Do it now, do it often, don’t stop.

We have a wide, colorful, nuanced, diverse population. And many of our communities are already being attacked via EOs, hateful rhetoric, and economic violence. They are talking concentration camps.

So if you find even a tiny way to resist, do it. Do it now, do it often, don’t stop.

They aren’t talking about housing or food insecurity or cost of living. They are talking tax cuts, gutting our already paltry social safety nets and pilfering the world’s coffers for their own gain.

Is capitalism broken? Absolutely. The incomprehensible wealth disparity we already have is about to explode like nothing we’ve ever seen before. The folks with all the gravitational pull of wealth just took over with not one notion of actually improving everyone’s lives.

We have 330 Million people joined to us in this and another 7 Billion that will feel its repercussions.

If you find even a tiny way to resist, do it. Do it now, do it often, don’t stop.

This is all so very dangerous and is already hurting Americans in ways we can see and others we can’t even imagine.

Government systems have a ton of room for improvement. No doubt. But, they absolutely should not be run like corporations or by billionaires. These people have no concept of what communities need.

I don't get the sense that U.S. journalists have a good sense of who to talk to when basic government functions are being ripped out. Gutting the administrative state is not a standard beat. A short thread with some starter suggestions for who to read/talk to. Please - people add more in replies!

If you’re in Eastern/Central Washington or North Idaho, now is the time to support us over at @rangemedia.co. We’re worker owner, which means nobody but us can pressure us to compromise, and we absolutely won’t be doing that

Has anyone seen the democratic response to Trump's first week? Was it on a carton of milk?

explain your username: It's my first name, followed by my last name. Neither name is particularly great. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
