Wow, we have a LOT of endorsed candidates this year! 35 to be exact, plus 2 initiative campaigns: @no645.bsky.social & @nohateinwastate.bsky.social That number is high because there are so many races this year where we can flip a GOP seat blue or replace a conservative dem with a progressive!

Since Washington’s mask ban took effect, people have continued to see masked ICE officers making arrests. For instance, an immigration advocate estimated that 20% of the arrests in the Yakima Valley — which have surged in the last couple of months — have been made by masked ICE officers.

Last but certainly not least, @dannyforprosecutor.com is hot on Republican McCollam's heels in their race, down by less than 1% and just over 1000 votes. Danny would be incredibly transformative for justice in Spokane County. Also the Yes for Buses campaign has officially declared victory! 🥳🚌

Presented my “Prism System” research at APA’s 2026 Annual Convention in DC. It’s an interdisciplinary argument — philosophy, psychology, law, neuroscience — on why restorative justice isn’t one-size-fits-all. As a former prosecutor, I believe we need this framework to serve justice well. 🧠⚖️ #spokane

Justice Forral, a Spokane activist, suspects they were targeted for reasons beyond their participation in last year's June 11 protest. A police report obtained from a publics records request shows Forral may have been right, and that they were flagged with a “T3” code.

Spokane police to reform ‘temperament codes’
T codes were designed to warn police officers of potential dangers when responding to certain calls, but critics said they may have led police to target at least one activist.
