Air travel has gotten dramatically cheaper That means more people can do it You can still buy first class tickets if you want them
Revan@revan.eurosky.social · 15h agoSo this is basically one of the entry points to becoming a reactionary
It will be Pollet/Dreher in LD-46. Ugh. My heart breaks for Ron. It’s also a reminder that Bluesky Isn’t Real Life.
Casey Martin@caseyworks.bsky.social · 15h agoFirst King County primary election results are in: cd.kingcounty.gov/en/dept/elec...
To be honest, I’m optimistic, even though I really wasn’t a fan of running this measure in a non-general election. Our big Spokane Together measures last fall increased their vote totals in the days after the election, and I do think that’s possible here, though less so than usual with the fires.
Spokane Rising@spokanerising.com · 15h agoProposition 1––which extends and expands Spokane Transit service for another 20 years––is a nail-biter. Yes: 31,153 (50.38%) No: 30,686 (49.62%) It needs 50% + 1 to pass.
Okay, HERE WE GO! Here’s a look at the primary election results in Spokane County. I’m skipping to cover my highest-priority measures/races first. Remember that this is just the first evening of ballot drops. Results will become much clearer by the end of the week.
Polls are closed! Results in ~15 minutes, though these are early returns. Most results will be much clearer toward the end of the week.

We’re roughly 30 minutes away from the first primary election results in Washington. You still have 15 minutes to drop off your ballot.
Abdul El Sayed's open-mindedness on the question of how to actually resolve the question of Palestine is one of the best indicators of his overall intelligence and sincerity. Policymakers in DC should adopt a rights-based approach which prioritizes ending the occupation and apartheid systems.
Ron Skolnik@ronskolnik.bsky.social · 23h agoEl-Sayed: "I believe in equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination, for Palestinians and Jewish Israelis alike... If that’s 2 states, I’m for it. If it’s 1 state, I’m for that. If it’s this 'land for all' model, ... or whatever they decide." www.newyorker.com/news/the-new...
The Old Trails Fire began in one of the areas with the highest wildfire risk in Spokane County, and it spread northeast to devastate the neighborhood with Spokane’s second-highest wildfire risk.

the conspiracy theories are BATSHIT right now
kate b.@katebitz.bsky.social · 20h agoif people in spokane don’t take 30 seconds to think through whether it makes sense that the city would get burned down to clear the way for a data center or whatever i am going to have to metaphorically fistfight some folks in the proverbial parking lot of ideas
The man whom police allege started the Old Trails Fire will appear in Spokane County Superior Court at 1:30pm. The affidavit of facts alleges that at least three witnesses saw this man along the BNSF tracks north of Airway Heights where the fire apparently originated.
Spokane Rising@spokanerising.com · 2d agoBREAKING: This is gobsmacking. An arrest––for arson––has been made in the Old Trails Fire, which destroyed more than 700 homes in the Spokane area. A DNR fire investigator was able to locate the origin to w/in a 10 sq m area. The fire was started with nothing more than a butane lighter or match.
The Spokane fire conspiracy theories are almost identical to the Altadena fire conspiracy theories. These people have no understand of how fire works, how science works, or why some things burn. I'm writing a book chapter about it, but the people who need to read it don't read books.
LorennaCleary.bsky.social@lorennacleary.bsky.social · 23h agoThe internet is filled with really dumb people who right now think the fires in Spokane WA were fake because the houses burned but trees didn’t. What they’re forgetting is that dead, thin, dry wood burns. Wet, dense, living wood is harder to burn. Old living pine and house vs fire: house loses.
Legal in Spokane on any R1 lot with a rear alley!
Zak Yudhishthu@zyudhishthu.bsky.social · yesterdayA fond goodbye to my Avondale apartment, which breaks every part of its RS-3 zoning and could never be built today ❌ 12 units (2 unit max) ❌ 40 ft tall (30 ft max) ❌ 260 sq ft lot area/unit (2,500 min) ❌ 0 ft rear setback (35 ft min) And way above the 0.9 floor-area ratio cap
Neighborhoods that burned in Spokane—like Five Mile and North Indian Trail—are *located in historic fire corridors.* No amount of infrastructure investment, structure hardening, or vegetation clearing can make those places fully safe. We need to think twice about building in these types of areas!
Dr. Jeff Masters@drjeffmasters.bsky.social · 2d agoUrban firestorms like the one that devastated Spokane Saturday have been growing more common because of increased development in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) and climate change.

Alexandra (Alex) Duggan@alexdugganreports.bsky.social · 2d agoI 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...

I get that in times of crisis, people seek comfort in convenient and sometimes conspiratorial answers to existential questions, but this is just AI data center psychosis.
The idea that Pete Buttigieg is qualified to be president has got to be one of the most patently ridiculous delusions that has been expressed in the past 20 years of American politics.
