Figma’s Schema 2025 quietly set the stage for something big – design systems that talk back.

The groundwork for bidirectional systems: ones that learn from code instead of just dictating to it.

The bidirectional design system: When code talks back to design

How AI is shifting design systems from one-way handoffs to continuous, two-way sync – and what that means for how we build products

Americans broadly disapprove of how President Donald Trump is handling his job, and a majority say he has gone too far in exercising the powers of his office, according to a Washington-Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.

If the design says one thing and the code does another, the user pays the price. Misalignment leads to confusion, frustration, and support issues.

WTF? This is our government?

mysafespace – The White House

We're Democrats in the House and Senate. We love DEI, transgender for everyone, healthcare for illegals and shutting down the government! We couldn't care less if our military gets paid or Americans' safety.

US judge permanently blocks Trump order requiring voters to prove citizenship | Reuters

A federal judge found that part of the order was illegal because the U.S. Constitution gives states, not the president, the power to oversee elections.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

The GOP is in a death spiral, locked in an embrace of Trump that they can’t escape from because they’ll get primaried and be threatened by crazed MAGAs. This could have huge consequences in the 2026 midterms unless they can successfully break with him in time.

Design systems friends! Real question:

How are y'all teaching AI tools (Bolt, v0, Lovable, Replit) about your custom design systems?

MCP works great for IDEs, but what about the no-code gang?

GitHub? NPM? Secret sauce?

Would love to hear what's actually working for you.

"Reform of ICE can start with firing every one of the unqualified thugs hired between 2025 and 2028; if you joined during the Trump administration and consider yourself a solid civil servant, you’d be welcome to reapply. And wearing masks should be barred."

ICE is out of control and beyond repair

This agency needs to be stripped down to the studs. Dems should start preparing now.

Text graphic with a black background and white lettering that says: “Just a little reminder. Entering our country illegally is a Misdemeanor, not a Felony. A Felony is what Trump was Convicted of. 34 times. Stop trying to cover up your racism with some hypocritical law and order nonsense.” The image is credited to @silverfox_vibes.
