Christian Hergert, a Portland-based software engineer and prominent GNOME developer, is relocating his family to France to escape the escalating instability and federal overreach under the Trump administration. He cites the traumatic shooting in Portland involving CBP (Customs and Border Protection) agents as a definitive breaking point, viewing the event as clear evidence that the United States is no longer a safe or stable environment for his mixed-race family. Facing a denied relocation request from Red Hat, Hergert is prioritizing his family’s physical security and sense of belonging over his professional career, leading him to scale back his decades of technical leadership in the open-source community. https://blogs.gnome.org/chergert/2026/02/06/mid-life-transitions/ #uspol #orpol #pdx #linux
@Karstan I will!
FYI, news article from yesterday:
Notable language from the bill:
"Prohibits local governments from regulating, imposing a tax or fee on or requiring a license or permit for on-demand autonomous vehicle networks. Prohibits local governments from prohibiting or regulating the operation of autonomous vehicles or on-demand autonomous vehicle networks."
UGH. Waymo is trying to invade Portland now. I've heard rumors but it looks like they're trying to do an end run around local opinion by having some toadies they paid off to push this through the Oregon legislature: http://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2026R1/Measures/Overview/HB4085
Ponte, Willis and Kramer were each found liable for $200,000 for inflicting emotional distress, plus $50,000 in punitive damages. Lewis was found liable only for $10,000 in punitive damages.

The affidavit quoted the detective as saying he clearly observed Gibson and Schultz “taunting and physically threatening members of the Antifa group” to provoke a physical altercation, despite video footage that the two hadn’t engaged in any threats or violence, according to the appellate opinion.
...
I haven't watched that footage in a while, but iirc the judge was solicitous enough to the fascists' objections that most of the remaining video had to be played without audio, so no one could hear any threats Gibson & Schultz may have made. Again, I can't recall in detail without revisiting, but the unaltered video is fucking bad and fucking obvious.

Considered "one of the most intriguing gubernatorial candidates in Oregon" by CSAM consumer "PDX Real", #ChrisDudley has apparently taken to roaming the streets of #PDX with far-right content creator Kevin Dahlgren, who pled guilty last year to stealing lots of money from homeless ppl.
Auspicious beginning to this campaign!
People have been arrested on their way to work, inside businesses and on private property. A family was arrested earlier this month at a Portland hospital’s parking lot on their way to seek emergency care for their 7-year-old daughter and a Portland Uber driver was surrounded last week by federal agents who arrested her two passengers after following them for about half a mile from Union Station.
Oregon for All, a coalition of several organizations in the state, in mid-December said federal authorities had detained more than 1,900 immigrants in Oregon last year, often without warrants.

A group chat that Owendoff messages includes a contact with the initials “EA.” When reached by phone January 12, Portland Police Bureau officer and City Council District 4 candidate Eli Arnold told the Mercury, “I feel like I may have seen something like that, okay, but they—some people are very prolific texters.” Arnold is not shown responding to the texts.

this kind of posi pseudo-therapeutic nonsense is nauseating statecraft, & it’s timed real nice with her colleague’s statements of support for an extrajudicial ICE killing.

The only surprise here is that voters elected Loretta Smith after her long and extremely well documented history of being incredibly shitty.

Packed district 3 constituents meeting with @councilormorillo.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy tonight. This meeting was hastily announced and there are upwards of 35 attendees. #pdx #portlandor #orpol
The masks are off. Portland voters have demanded change and this embedded racism is part of the rotten core of Portland city politics. #pdx #portlandor #orpol
