Community volunteers monitoring ICE activity in Greater Portland say they were threatened by federal agents and some agents even came to their homes, intimidating them or warning arrests. Westbrook resident Liz Eisele McLellan and others document sightings, aiming for transparency and accountability. In Westbrook and nearby towns, watchers describe cars with out-of-state plates and masked agents; some observers say DHS officials warned them they could be arrested if they continued following. Supporters defend First Amendment rights to observe and record law enforcement. Similar incidents in Minneapolis have included threats and detentions. Volunteers vow to continue.

Amazon is closing its branded grocery stores—Fresh and Go—about 70 U.S. locations and folding them into Whole Foods. Some will become Whole Foods Market; roughly 100 more stores are planned, including the Daily Shop concept. The company is testing formats like a store-within-a-store with Amazon Grocery and Whole Foods and a Chicago-area space modeled after Walmart. Fresh lacked a distinctive customer experience and economics for large-scale expansion; Go’s Just Walk Out tech wasn’t compelling. Yet Amazon’s grocery business remains a $150B market with 150M+ shoppers and ongoing growth, aided by partnerships, private-labels, and same-day delivery.

Activists in the Pacific Northwest have built a volunteer-led, decentralized database cataloging license plates tied to ICE unmarked vehicles to monitor agents’ movements and reduce fear. The Intercept reports the database lists 600+ plates, mostly from Portland, and uses IPFS to resist takedown. Submissions are vetted, with only plates seen in at least two sightings published. The effort follows a surge in ICE enforcement in Oregon, including collateral arrests; organizers say the project helps communities stay informed despite safety concerns and warnings against doxxing agents.

The post argues that dreaming, planning, debating, or prepping about doing something isn’t doing it. Real progress comes only from taking action, even if imperfect or small; failure during action still counts as doing. Distractions like buying tools, reorganizing, or online debates aren’t progress. The message: start now and keep working.

DHS now says two weeks of Broadview detention center surveillance footage from Oct. 20–31, 2025 was never recorded due to equipment failure, not a crash or destruction. The claim undermines plaintiffs’ spoliation arguments in a class-action over detainee conditions. DOJ asks to limit discovery to current conditions, arguing past footage is unproductive; plaintiffs contend the missing footage is critical and seek data from the ‘old server’ managed by Five by Five Management, LLC, with its owner to be deposed. The dispute highlights ICE’s weak evidence-retention practices.

Mollick describes a four-day startup class where MBA students used AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Claude Code) to ideate, research markets, model finances, and prototype products. Several demos emerged, with pace and quality far exceeding typical semesters, aided by cheap, rapid iteration and pivoting. He formulates the "Equation of Agentic Work": delegate to AI based on Human Baseline Time, Probability of Success, and AI Process Time. He argues that clear instructions, feedback, and evaluation—rooted in domain expertise—turn AI delegation into effective management, turning scarce human labor into abundant, task-focused collaboration with AI agents.

SoundCloud disclosed unauthorised activity in December 2025 that allowed an attacker to map publicly available profile data to email addresses for about 20% of users. Approximately 30 million unique email addresses, names, usernames, avatars, follower/following counts, and, in some cases, country were exposed. The attacker attempted extortion and publicly released the data the following month. The breach affected about 29.8 million accounts and was added to Have I Been Pwned on 27 January 2026. Recommendations: change the password on affected accounts immediately and enable two-factor authentication; use a password manager.

India and the European Union announced a landmark free-trade agreement after about two decades of talks, aiming to cut tariffs, boost market access and deepen supply-chain ties for goods and services. Key terms include eliminating most EU tariffs on Indian exports (and cutting vehicle duties to 10% under a 250,000-unit quota) and reducing Indian duties on EU wines, beer and olive oil, with safeguards for sensitive Indian sectors. The deal also includes a mobility framework and a broader security, defence and climate cooperation agenda, with signing expected later this year.
