  • Tribal Lands and Data Center Tensions | Spokane News

    In Page, Arizona, a new data center deal has ignited fierce local resistance—residents and the LeChee Chapter fear it will drain precious water vital for life and tradition. Across the U.S., tribal lands are becoming prime targets for developers, drawn by their untouched nature and unique sovereignty, sparking a national debate: is this economic opportunity or exploitation? While some tribes like the Seminole Nation have paused all data center projects, others are cautiously exploring partnerships with companies like Colusa Indian Energy, weighing jobs against resource protection. As states tighten regulations, tribes are stepping up to govern themselves, forming task forces and moratoriums to protect their land, culture, and future.

  • Amazon Accused of Pregnant Worker Discrimination | Spokane News

    Amazon is under fire in a new class-action lawsuit alleging it systematically discriminates against pregnant employees by denying basic accommodations, forcing medical documentation, and firing workers for pregnancy-related absences — despite federal protections. Four former warehouse workers lead the charge, citing cases like one woman fired after an emergency hospitalization. While Amazon defends its record of approving 99% of accommodation requests, this isn’t the first legal blow: New Jersey and New York have already filed similar suits, and EEOC rule changes loom. The fight over workplace fairness for expectant mothers is heating up.

  • Kyiv Under Fire After Ceasefire | Spokane News

    Kyiv endured a devastating overnight barrage of drones and missiles, killing five and injuring at least 35, as attacks resumed after a brief ceasefire that allowed U.S. peace envoys to meet with Zelenskyy. Explosions tore through residential areas, schools, clinics, and warehouses, while the EU ambassador described the city as “exploding and burning.” Despite Ukraine’s air force intercepting most incoming threats, ballistic missiles remain a major challenge. Elsewhere, nearly 100 were evacuated in Sumy after drone strikes on a train, a rail worker died in Zaporizhzhia, and three were hurt in Odesa’s market. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister is calling for more interceptors and stronger allied pressure on Moscow as defenses grow increasingly strained.

  • Brian Fleury Takes Over Seahawks Offense | Spokane News

    Brian Fleury is stepping into the spotlight as Seattle’s new offensive coordinator, bringing a unique journey from high school QB dreams to NFL coaching — shaped by his stepfather’s legendary influence. After rising through the ranks with stops at Maryland and Buffalo, he impressed the Seahawks’ new head coach enough to land this pivotal role. With deep familiarity of Seattle’s offense, Fleury plans subtle tweaks to boost the run game and receiver production while maintaining staff continuity. Players like Cooper Kupp praise his collaborative style, and Fleury himself is energized by the chance to call plays for the first time — blending stoic focus with a dry wit as he prepares to lead the team into its regular season opener.

  • Boeing Delivers 51 Planes Amid 787 Dip | Spokane News

    Boeing delivered 51 planes in August, with 41 being 737 MAX jets—consistent with recent trends—but the 787 Dreamliner saw a sharp drop to just four deliveries, marking the second-slowest month for that model this year. While delays may stem from customer-specific holds or final checks, overall Boeing’s first eight months of deliveries are at their highest since 2018, totaling 418 planes—and they snagged 15 new orders, including some 787s, keeping customers anonymous for now.

  • Leonard Williams Finds His Peak at 32 | Spokane News

    Leonard Williams, a 12-year veteran who was once doubted and even considered quitting football, is having his best season yet at age 30—thanks to a fresh start in Seattle. After years of inconsistency and trade rumors, he’s blossomed into the NFL’s top defensive tackle, earning elite praise from coaches and execs despite modest stats. His blend of power, speed, and versatility makes him a nightmare for offenses, and he just signed a $90M deal proving he’s far from done. Plus, he’s a new dad—his favorite thing.

  • Spokane’s Climate Wake-Up Call | Spokane News

    Spokane’s facing a climate emergency — with heat domes and wildfire smoke threatening lives. A new report from the Gonzaga Climate Institute warns the city must act now, citing a 353% spike in poor air quality days since 2015 and the deadly 2021 heat wave that killed 20 people. The Spokane Community Resilience Collaborative, including city leaders, Avista, and health officials, is pushing for urgent changes: lowering cooling and clean air center triggers to 90°F and AQI 150, turning them into permanent resilience hubs, retrofitting trusted community spaces, updating building codes for better filtration and efficiency, and making public transit free or cheaper during air quality crises. City council is reviewing the plan — some fully on board, others wary of costs — while the climate institute aims to embed these reforms in next year’s comprehensive plan. This isn’t just about comfort — it’s about saving lives.
