The devastation is unimaginable. I moved here 3 years ago knowing Spokane would be my home. I can’t explain how horrific this is. “It’s like a war zone,” people told me.

I've been asking reporters in Spokane how we can help and everyone says subscribe, subscribe, subscribe. The Spokesman-Review has been doing unreal coverage of the fires: www.spokesman.com

Oh for fucks sake. Some dipshit from Arizona who murdered his dad cause he didn’t want to do dishes appears to have started at least one of the Spokane fires. Also, don’t fly drones near the fires. Your novelty footage is not that important. We live in the dumbest timeline

I was on the scene that day and watched people flag police down to talk to someone walking away from the fire. My law enforcement sources confirmed to me this evening my description of the person I saw was consistent with the suspect. Here’s the story so far: www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

With J6ers getting jobs in the justice department, and presidential memorandum NSPM-7 targeting the “left-wing” and “anti-fascists” as terrorists, it's never been more important to support those tracking the far right.

Interesting read from 2019. Something we know now, of course, is that a subsection of these pine tree gang became very active and influential in the terrorgram community

Sami Eerola@eerolasami.bsky.social · last wk.

"They made few, if any, comments on environmental issues, and rarely shared imagery of wild nature (a common practice across the rest of Pine Tree Twitter). The absence of ecological content in these far right accounts might not be shocking. There is a “fashion cycle” to the online far-right."

“A relatively small group of anti-fascists were the first to act in self-defence, trying to stop the attack. It became necessary for the group to fall back to the main demo where a defensive line was formed, but by then police on horses had dispersed those involved in the attack.” 🫡🏴

I love not skipping adds on my sock account on you tube.

Also, “our videos get taken down” seems to have become a sign of legitimacy in certain circles.
