I keep saying this. It's just another way for white folks and the U.S. to distance themselves from their very recent history. There's no need for comparison to any other country at all!

Container queries are rad AF!
It’s still hard to give a shit about tech right now, and I want to give you an update on my community fridge project soon, but today, I actually am excited about a tech thing!
Today, let’s talk about container queries!
The Use Case Responsive web design gave us media queries, which let you adjust the layout at certain breakpoints.
For example, you may have layout that starts off as a single column on small mobile devices in portrait orientation, flips to a two-column grid on mid-sized viewports, and then becomes three or four columns in bigger viewports.

A lot of people are choosing to miss the point here which is not “Every problem is super easy to solve and democrats refuse to do it” but that when there *is* a simple solution they will insist it’s much more complicated and the simple solution is impossible.

The inadequacy of this is so very deep.
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the party agreed on three main goals:
° Require warrants in some cases and ICE coordination with state and local law enforcement
° Create a code of conduct and enforce it
° Require agents to wear body cams and not masks

I can’t stop thinking about how stupid it is that we don’t just give unhoused folks houses.
Tiny homes are cheap and effective. Study after study after study shows that a housing-first approach is absurdly effective.
This is a solved problem that we refuse to actually solve.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Israel is continuing to escalate its illegal military occupation in the Palestinian West Bank.
Israel’s goal is to make conditions unlivable for Palestinians in order to steal their land.

fwiw I don't think it is possible to build genAI in such a way that it benefits workers rather than capital because it is fundamentally based on non consensual extraction of labour to get going. what would it actually mean for the workers to own the means of production here

If you’re feeling helpless amidst the ongoing horrors being perpetrated by ICE… engage in mutual aid.
Donate to someone in need. Give to a community library or food bank.
