Your users of #DesignSystems are not the users of your application, they are the beneficiaries.
The devs implementing the system are your users. The worse that UX is, the less likely your design system will successfully be implemented.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

If the US blocks access to HRT, ADHD drugs, and SSRIs, I cannot begin to describe to you how much all of the tech sector will screech to a halt. The internet is built and maintained by trans people, people with chronic depression, and the neurodivergent.

RFK Jr. is already taking aim at antidepressants
The new HHS secretary has made baseless claims that the drugs are addictive and cause violent behavior.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

All of these strong opinions and beliefs about shit like programming is feeling pretty insignificant these days. How do we just keep working like normal while this evil happens around us? How can I continue to love the web when it’s been turned into this destructive and evil thing?

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
