“We have lost all faith in your abilities to manage the company," said our @zdcreatorsguild.bsky.social who overwhelmingly passed a vote of no confidence in company exec Kate Gutman. Read more here nyguild.org/post/ziff-da...
Today, we sent a supermajority vote of no confidence to Ziff Davis General Manager, Kate Gutman. Here’s why. (1/7)
On Jan. 14, our parent company Ziff Davis laid off 5 of our members, days after our successful CES showing as the CNET Group. This is the third round of layoffs since Ziff acquired CNET in 2024. We’re sick of our members being on the chopping block.

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7
An Oregon lawmaker is warning of ICE agents posing as utility workers. NW Natural and Portland General Electric have published guidance in several languages on how to tell if a person is actually one of their employees.
or hospitals...
heads of the same hydra: DHS
i've heard that all agencies under DHS have been reorganized to support immigration enforcement per ICE - and why wouldn't they, their budget is massive
ICE must be abolished. The work of our time is to tear down the system that built it and remake it into one that embraces and designs systems that include all people from all places. This work will be done, because the alternative is unbearable.
My proposal for a masking, identification, and verification ordinance will, if passed and among other things, direct PPB to conduct preliminary investigations of potential impostors / impersonators of federal agents, which is common enough that even Donald Trump's FBI is warning cities about it.
AG Rayfield announces investigation into shooting involving federal agents in Portland
“We have been clear about our concerns with excessive use of force by federal agents in Portland and nationally. We have also been clear about our intent to investigate circumstances involving federal agents to ensure they are accountable to acting within the scope of their official duties. Today’s incident only heightens the need for transparency and accountability. Our office will take every step necessary to ensure that the rights and security of Oregonians are protected.”
The Oregon DOJ is opening a formal investigation into an incident in Portland in which two people were shot and injured during an encounter with federal agents. The investigation will look into whether any federal officer acted outside the scope of their lawful authority and will include witness interviews, video evidence, and other relevant materials. If evidence of criminal conduct is found, cases may be referred to the Multnomah County District Attorney for potential prosecution.
BREAKING NEWS: We are opening a formal investigation into the shooting involving federal agents in Portland today.
Our office will take every step necessary to ensure the rights and security of Oregonians are protected. #orpol #breakingnews
it kinda made me laugh how much bob day was emphasizing that this was not them and they don't do immigration enforcement...
I was wondering why city council suddenly convened. This is not what I was hoping for.
NEW: After an ICE officer fatally shot a Minneapolis mother, the Trump administration jumped to portray her as a "left-wing radical" who committed "an attack on the American people.” The rhetoric marks its latest attempt to pin violence on its political foes to intensify its crackdown on dissent.

Hitting the longest I've ever been unemployed really shook me despite being intellectually prepared for the outcome. It's hard. But I'm also wildly proud of everything I've accomplished on my own in the last 4 months. I have: ✨ Moderated on the main stage at NYCC ✨ Been published in 3 print magazines ✨ Published semi-regular reviews at one of the trades ✨ Expanded my moderating client base to include Disney, Hulu, AMC and more ✨ Increased newsletter subscribers 32%, and doubled my MRR ✨ Acted as a research assistant for a critically important book that helps curate horror history ✨ Pulled an exclusive interview with one of my favorite directors ✨ Pitched a podcast to a major network ✨ Started exploration on a book pitch I've been noodling on for years If that's what I can do on my own, imagine what I can do with resources.

In response to an investigation launched by the federal government into the Portland Police Bureau’s policing practices at the local ICE facility, the city attorney shot back, laying out a pattern of excessive force used on protesters, and favoritism toward conservative streamers by federal police.
The troops aren’t being sent in to deal with: homelessness, crime, or whatever you delulu central Oregonians think is happening in the city.
Troops are being sent in to: squash 1A rights, incite violence, and continue to harass Portlanders because we didn’t vote for Fat Orange.
What destruction, pray tell? Chalk on the sidewalk?
What violence have protesters inflicted? emotional damage because they had donuts on fishing line?
I don’t want to hear anymore “Portland is dying” narrative or vague complaints about “ANTIFA” as the clarion call for action in the city. All of that led to Trump targeting us. Groups like People for Portland, associated right-wing media ecosystem, and political opportunists own this.
message on the hud.gov homepage right now: "The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people."
