Not sure if I just missed how this is now a thing but it looks like a malfunction, definitely not optimal. I've refreshed the page but, for c/microblogs , the community link to let me know what I'm looking at, is not displaying. I don't know that this is a help issue necessarily. Just wanted to mention it.

If I'm the only person this bugs, guess I'll just block the community, but that seems less than optimal. What if these folks describing their minute by minute minutiae somehow becomes interesting? It could happen (Narrator: It could never happen).

Authorities say Federal immigration officers have shot and wounded two people in Portland, Oregon. The FBI’s Portland office says it is investigating an “agent involved shooting” that happened around 2:15 p.m.

Portland, OR - District 1 Councilors Candace Avalos, Jamie Dunphy, and Loretta Smith issued the following statement in response to the news that federal agents shot and injured two people in the Hazelwood neighborhood:

Today ICE shot two of our East Portland neighbors – just one day after an ICE agent shot and killed a Minneapolis mother. We are still waiting for more information at this time, but this is part of a pattern of violence that we have seen too many times across our country.

ICE in our communities does not make us safe. It should be crystal clear to everyone that the real threat to community safety is the ICE agents harassing, targeting, detaining — and in some tragic cases — killing our neighbors. This violence is unacceptable, it is criminal, and it is against the constitution of the United States.

This federal government is going to spin the story like they do every time one of their agents hurts a community member. We saw that when they tried to send in the National Guard. It's on all of us to keep speaking the truth, to keep on bearing witness, because our community's voices outweigh their lies every time. It's up to each and every one of us to keep us safe.

As your East Portland councilors, we have stood united to protect Portlanders from aggressive immigration enforcement and federal overreach and we will continue to do everything in our power to keep our communities safe. We are asking our counterparts at every level of government to do the same.

We thank our first responders for their swift response. We're holding the two victims and their families in our hearts at this time and our offices will provide more information when it is available.

Happy new year,

Noticing a particular individual I keep blocking for ages now is constantly making the rounds to start new accounts on every instance possible so they can post a barrage of things to every single community there too and noticing I can stop this here by using filters.

I can block this "person" on other lemmy instances but don't see an option to just block the keywords - this user's name - and am grateful that we have these filters and many other features here and that piefed continues to evolve into something better.

Thanks you guys.

INCIDENT: Temporary Closure Order Issued for San Gabriel Mountains National Monument, Mt. Baldy 
     
LOCATION: Mt. Baldy
 
SUMMARY: To protect natural resources and provide for public safety, the U.S. Forest Service has issued a temporary closure and prohibition order affecting portions of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument, including the Mt. Baldy Closure Area.

This Order is effective from December 29, 2025, at 10:00 p.m. until December 31, 2025, at 11:59 p.m.

The Mt. Baldy closure begins at the intersection of Mount Baldy Road and Glendora Ridge Road in Section 30, Township 1 North, Range 8 West, San Bernardino Base and Meridian (SBBM); then continues due west to Section 22, Township 1 North, Range 8 West, SBBM; then continues due north through the summit of Iron Mountain in Section 3, Township 2 North, Range 8 West, SBBM, to Section 27, Township 2 North, Range 8 West, SBBM; then continues due east through the summit of Pine Mountain in Section 30, Township 2 North, Range 8 West, SBBM, to the Angeles National Forest congressional boundary in Section 28, Township 2 North, Range 7 West, SBBM; then continues south along the Angeles National Forest congressional boundary through the summit of Timber Mountain in Section 23, Township 1 North, Range 7 West, SBBM, to Section 27, Township 1 North, Range 8 West, SBBM. 

“The tragic loss of life on Mt. Baldy and repeated rescue responses highlight how dangerous current conditions are, even for experienced hikers. Weather and terrain conditions remain extremely dangerous and unpredictable, posing a significant risk to both the public and Search and Rescue personnel. The temporary closure of Mt. Baldy trails is necessary to prevent additional emergencies and protect lives. The public is urged to respect the closure and avoid the area until it is safe to reopen.” Sheriff Shannon Dicus

Members of the public are required to comply with all posted closure signs and directions from Forest Service personnel. These temporary restrictions are necessary to reduce risk to visitors and to protect sensitive natural and cultural resources. A violation of these prohibitions is punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000 for an individual or $10,000 for an organization, or imprisonment for not more than six months, or both. 

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department advises all subjects to refrain from traveling to or recreating in the Mt. Baldy area for the duration of the closure. Public cooperation is essential to ensure the safety of visitors and rescue personnel and to support ongoing public safety operations.
