I wonder what the end goal of all this is. Like if Firefox dies, that's basically the end of all of its forks like Waterfox, Librewolf, Zen, etc too. Firefox is already not in a good state rn in terms of usage (Edge has twice the share of Firefox)

Maybe a Russian asset?

According to the governor’s office, first responders had conducted at least 629 rescues and 572 assisted evacuations.

“Detaining migrants who leave voluntarily may be aimed to impose long-term reentry penalties … However, the ‘Operation Irish Goodbye‘ may be serving a different purpose: inflating deportation statistics as the administration pushes to show progress toward Trump’s goal of record-high removals”

BREAKING NEWS: We just filed a new multistate lawsuit against the Trump administration for stopping federal funding used to build electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Oregon’s freight corridors – like I-5 – keep our economy moving. #orpol #breakingnews

Republicans had SO MUCH TIME to come up with a plan to make your health care more accessible and affordable, but they can’t agree on a plan. Now, we are just weeks away from millions of Americans facing skyrocketing premiums. This is on Republicans.

All of us hope that the Trump administration follows the law and releases the Epstein files on Friday. But there are very good reasons to be skeptical of whatever the Trump administration releases. I’ll share a few reasons why.

As the Skagit River’s flood waters were building, the Army Corps took over Ross Dam and Upper Baker Dam, to hold back as much water as possible. Flooding still occurred in the region, but the dams were reportedly able to shave 4 to 5 feet off the river's peak height of about 37 feet.

As another week of rain returns to the Pacific Northwest, residents near the landslide on Highway 229 are bracing for more damage. 

Rev. David Black raised a stark warning: people are being held, transferred, and deported with little transparency and the public knows almost nothing about the conditions they while in detention. Faith leaders are calling for accountability and truth.

If you can believe it, January 1, 2026 marks ten years since the armed takeover of Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. For Portland Monthly, I wrote about how the ensuing decade was dominated by anxious men and a culture of lawlessness. www.pdxmonthly.com/news-and-cit...

Sunday, December 14 as of noon. Did the hell freeze over?

Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson has said that as many as 100,000 people could be impacted by the historic flooding in Western Washington.

Sen. WHITEHOUSE: We finally are moving to file a bipartisan Section 230 repeal bill. Waiting any longer serves no useful purpose.

When our neighbors are in crisis, California doesn't hesitate to lend our support. That's why I'm deploying @caloes.bsky.social Urban Search & Rescue teams to Washington State to help protect lives amid the ongoing severe flooding impacting the state.

Absolute banger comments about the need for bus lanes on 82nd Avenue from TriMet board member Tyler Frisbee at their meeting Wednesday. I clipped it up for your convenience youtu.be/5UwEepFnoYI

Days of torrential rain in Washington state have caused historic floods, stranding families on rooftops and washing over bridges. Washington is under a state of emergency, with Gov. Bob Ferguson warning that as many as 100,000 people would need to evacuate statewide.

If we didn't have all these excessive building codes, fire codes, and zoning codes, far fewer people would be sleeping on the street. This seems impressive, but in much of the world, this is how a lot of people create their own housing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5PC...

Columbia County's jail is like, > 50% USM, and that's the only thing that's helping the county make the ends meet. The problem is, I guess, that the USM contract can function like a backdoor around the Sanctuary Promise Act. www.kptv.com/2025/12/11/l...

Even the Miami Cubans are waking up

Archaeologists have finished uncovering the longest continuous remains of an ancient wall that encircled Jerusalem, including possible evidence of a 2,100-year-old ceasefire between warring kingdoms.

Oregon leaders have already put federal officials on notice that they will prosecute federal agents who use force “beyond the reasonable scope of their duties.”

At this point, I'm no longer sure what their objective is. The left hand does not seem to know what the right hand does. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-pl...

Christmas Ships parades on both the Willamette and Columbia rivers have been canceled for Dec. 9.

A measure to renew critical funding for rural counties and schools, including many in Oregon and Washington, has won bipartisan approval in Congress. More than two dozen counties in both Oregon and Washington typically receive Secure Rural Schools funding.

It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down. People hate AI slop!

🤔 These income inequality figures for Oregon are outrageous! The gap in income between the richest 1 percent of Oregonians and the median Oregonian is HUGE. 🤔 Read our recent analysis here: https://bit.ly/48tOWos #snap #inequality #taxtherich #ocpp

to me, I just view “perhaps we should teach more humanities again” as an attempt to regain some balance - which I do think is very important! - and not as an argument for humanities supremacy. the point is there shouldn’t be supremacy regarding the basis of human knowledge, imo
