Just landed a pretty big refactor of the Svelte-powered @urbaninstitute.bsky.social data viz component library that fully embraces runes syntax across all of our components. Svelte continues to be a flexible and powerful tool for our work.

Check out our code on Github github.com/UrbanInstitu...

The image is a screenshot of a Github release page listing new features for the latest release of the @urbaninstitute/dataviz-component-library package. The changes list reads:

Fix: Typo; Theme size for h2 on smaller screens now renders at proper font size
Breaking: now accepts snippet props for custom background/foreground content and replaces getContext("scrolly") stores with the new useScrollyContext() helper; update slot markup and context access accordingly.
Breaking: SVGMap and its layer components now expose pointer interaction callbacks via props (onclick/onmousemove/onmouseout/onbgclick) instead of on:event listeners, and shared state is provided through useSVGMapContext()—replace any getContext("map") usage and update handler wiring.
Breaking: DatawrapperIframe emits interaction hooks through lowercase callback props such as
onvisrendered/onregionclick instead of Svelte on:event listeners; pass handler functions as props to receive chart events.
Breaking: The exported pymChildStore writable has been removed in favor of the rune-based
usePymChildContext() helper returned by ; import usePymChildContext() to interact with the active pym.js child instance.
Feat: All components use Svelte 5 runes syntax and move away from store-based state where possible.

Betw ICE raids & the SNAP hit, many families are experiencing both food insecurity AND fear of going outside to get help.

Our Woodburn foodbank has the ability to sign you up as a designated person to pick up & drop off a food box for a scared neighbor. Check your local to see if this is an option.

WOW: More than 220 immigrant drivers have been arrested in Indiana by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. That means 220 truck loads of goods from food to medicine to auto parts to toys are now sitting in a federal depot and businesses are missing goods. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

Amid national economic insecurity, Minnesota just ranked as a top three state in the nation for job seekers.

That includes nation-leading job benefits, worker protections, and a diverse economy.

If you need a job, we want you here.

Andrew Scheer is just motoring through a whole litany of lies.
And no, the Harper government did not work with the opposition during the minority years. They dared the opposition to bring them down time and again (and prorogued when they were getting close to doing so). #PnPCBC

What if they re-allocated the backup fund for SNAP to something like...I dunno, ICE or ballrooms? I know before I ask, "Can they DO that?" We're not in Kansas anymore.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.
