THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.
I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

"Mobile First" is no longer a design strategy that makes sense. You need to be all about "Context First." That is, what is the correct representational schema for the state of your user and the product you wish them to experience? #codeinpublic

Just shipped the beta version of a major new upgrade to Episcobot. We’ll probably release in a few days after testing. So good. I love some of the new directions.

The annual “Moby-Dick” Marathon reading, held at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, is a radical act—and a profound kind of literary patriotism, James Parker argues.
The Marathon Moby-Dick Reading Is a Radical Act
It’s an all-analog mass redreaming of a flawed American gospel: superbly countercultural.

Important words from the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota, where I served as a priest before moving to Texas. ⚓️
![Fellow Americans,
Things are impossibly hard in [MN] right now. We are a state that feels under siege, and the people of this place are doing everything possible to resist. The campaign of reckless brutality being waged by the federal goverment has been well documented, including today's killing of a citizen who was restrained and immobilized. The clear evidence of what's happening exposes cartoonish lies from federal agencies that echo the most cynical propaganda machines in human history. The images are clear, and we are told, don't believe what you see.
But there is also something much more powerful, and not as widely reported, happening. We are mobilizing for revolutionary love. Vast networks of care, compassion, and solidarity, organized by churches to deliver food and supplies to those who cannot leave their homes. People are documenting the violence being used against us in a way that puts their own lives at risk. People are standing guard outside schools and daycares, and at bus stops to protect our children from real risks of harm. Others are taking turns watching each others' kids stuck in online learning because some schools aren't safe. Health care workers are bravely caring for people in hospitals that also are no longer safe, and risking being targets of arrest and detention for protecting the patients. A rich web of underground care and hidden love is taking deep root, and it's amazing to think what fruit that might bear when this occupation ends.
Minnesotans cannot do more than we are doing. Here are a few ways you can help.
1) Please flood your US senators with appeals to not to further fund ICE, by rejecting a bill the US House has already passed. Please flood all your members of congress with calls for deescalation in [MN]; for ICE, [CBP], and other federal agents to leave [MN] now; and to write and pass legislation that requires proper and extensive training for all those working for the federal government in our states and local communities.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jygcwdjhliwj2tnlr34utncd/bafkreihgvgiqexyity7awki36is7vrluy5jrovhwnyenfhlmicyvwmorqy@jpeg)
