AirTags make that noise "because you cannot make a tracker that does not alert a thief without also making ... a tool for stalking,” EFF’s @evacide.bsky.social told @sixcolors.com. “I think these people have, in fact, considered the implications and decided that they don’t care.”

The horrific failed and botched execution attempt in Tennessee last night lays bare the cruelty of the death penalty. Christa Pike's attorneys challenged the state's ability to safely execute her, to no avail. She remains hospitalized. We must end the death penalty. #christapike #deathpenalty

OPINION: These lands are not empty space waiting to be put to use. They are among the last intact ecosystems in the continental United States, and their value only grows as development pressure increases elsewhere. Read the column by Zeph Van Allen here:

It’s Wastewater Wednesday! How are COVID levels? We’re using two sources to help us keep track of the country and our state of Oregon. Thank you to @michael-hoerger.bsky.social for the map and graph, and OHA for continuing to track data coming from our wastewater treatment centers!
Two screenshots against a photo of a pile of orange and yellow striped pumpkins. The first is a map of the US showing COVID transmission, with states colored light blue to berry pink depending on severity. Lane County & most of the other counties in Oregon are in the very high ranges. Text notes that this data was last updated on September 19. The second screenshot is text that reads, “92% of Oregon community wastewater treatment centers were positive for SARS-CoV-2 on the most recent sample.” Note: OHA hasn’t updated their website this week. Oregon numbers are from their last update on 9/24/26.

A measure seeking to create a clean energy fund in Eugene (similar to the one in Portland) is facing some heavy pushback from the local and state chambers of commerce. New campaign finance data shows Oregon Business and Industry has donated $25,000 (some in-kind) to stop the measure.

Nearly 40% of survivors who report to their schools are pushed out in one way or another—usually, at the urging of school staff who want them to leave. (In comparison, less than 1% of perpetrators are suspended or expelled.)

Cahoots is frustrating, because it was sabotaged from the inside by executives at the non-profit (whitebird), and then no political capital was spent attempting to either hold the executives to account or implement a program of Eugene's own, so the contract that the city held with them was dropped

Eugene’s clean energy fund proposal has received lots of support, but also some pointed pushback. Much of the opposition has been derisive about PCEF, the proposed Eugene program’s counterpart in Portland. Opponents say voters should reject ECEF because “Portland has already tried it.”

The ECEF opponents portray PCEF as a failure, saying it has “raised prices, hurt Portland’s economy, and set off fights between politicians over pet projects.” The first two points are not evidence-based. The third isn’t enough to stop environmental advocates from pushing ECEF forward.
