A lot of no-cut enviros are super mad at Dave for going backwards here,but the truth is that he overpromised on his ability to manifest changes within the state structure and systems. That doesnt make him a hypocrite, it's just slow, hard work that takes all of us pushing together with realism

James' coverage here is great- and it brought me a new way of thinking about Roadless areas and their value as places free from the capitalist exploitation as a rarity in world. if you want a solid resource page about the roadless rule and the landscapes at risk, I personally like: roadless.org

I have thoughts about the Roadless repeal. Mostly that this conversation is completely detached from realities of timber production, healthy forests, or fire resilient communities

He even got the pluralism of the Colville Tribes right- something half this region and most elected officials fuck up.

I'm thankful James came up here, but really humbled he took the time to get out of Spokane itself to connect with our rural and Tribal neighbors waging their own battles this fire season and demonstrating their own response and aid efforts.

CALfire doesn't play. That's not an insult or compliment, but an assessment of their approach. They lock on to the assigned objective and blast clean through it, with little concern for how people feel about it. Good for putting down a fire, bad for the gentler aspects of how that impacts community

Nobody reads what I write anyways so: next weekend we're supposed to attend a kids birthday with daycare folks. That family just lost everything in Spokane fires. They want to keep the party for the kids. I'm going to be crying and consoling other parents in the corner at a 4 y/o's party.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🕯️🕯️Spokane: they have not issued level 1 or level 2 evacs yet today. The fire is too fast, all they can do is continue to expand the lvl 3 (go now). If you're N/E of the old trail fire: GET READY. NOW. You won't get notice or prep time

I recently started enjoying @oldmanweldon.bsky.social's "I hate Bill Maher" podcast and you should too. The seething rage about that garbage person is a perfect nightcap every night Now I just need to know if Will is still playing helldivers in 2026 but I'm listening in order of recording

I've been in touch the Colville Tribes' donation center about their priority needs for Kaiser Canyon fire relief. If you're in Spokane and want to help fill my truck today, meet here! Priority needs are: personal hygiene products, diapers and wipes, pet food, NEW underwear (all ages and sizes)

When the forest Service implemented the 10 AM Rule in the 1930s, it was a well-intentioned response built out of ignorance for fire regimes and forest ecosystems. Our current fire severity is heavily informed by decades of that bad policy. Bringing it back now isn't ignorance, it's abject stupidity

Americans broadly and vocally rejected Sen. Mike Lee’s public lands sell off in the OBBA. Now Sen. Daines (MT) is giving him another shot to pillage our lands by nullifying the roadless rule via a bill that'll be heard on 6/10. Here’s what to do about it right now, and what you can say: (1/5)

Obviously, the right's "2A to stop tyranny" has and will always be performative. The question now that tyranny has come and started murdering the lawful left is how those 2A folks will respond. Because comply or die is quickly becoming the binary option being forced onto them.

1/2 Look folks, I work in conservation so I care about the public land sell-off. A lot. And I know plenty of leftist folks who seem alarmed that folks are paying more attention to that than, ya know, everything else horrific happening under this administration. BUT, this is the fight to the wage

Respectfully- kootenai county sheriff's office can stay the fuck on their side of the border, and I expect Spokane police to do the same. we don't want you over here policing our city, anymore than CDA folks want to see us over there. This wasn't appropriate, mutual aid agreement be damned

Spokane police chief "we didn't use tear gas, we used smoke canisters and then pepper balls" So you released a gas then made tears....how could folks ever have gotten the impression you used tear gas.

Spokane mayor "I've been a protestor before" is really something to say when you initiate a crackdown instead of joining your residents protesting ICE in our hometown. If "we belong" in Spokane, you belong on the protest line. Both to keep the peace and show what you'll stand for

Welp, Spokane is officially popping off. A light protest of a couple hundred people, overwhelmingly peaceful was declared an unlawful assembly before police escalated. There's now a curfew in place for much of downtown- hell of a start to Pride and no kings this weekend

So I'm dropping Meta. And while those platforms are generally hellscape, it's worth being specific too: 1. I have seen an unmoderated rise in hate speech there 2. Just constant ads and garbage 3. I see less content from people I want to hear from 4. My kids deserve better social media than that
