I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

There are a couple of kids in my nephews's class who weren't born in the US, and the class has decided (w/o teacher input) that if ICE shows up in they're all going to pretend not to speak English. 10yos reinventing "I am Spartacus" because they don't want their friends to get disappeared.

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

@scott.hanselman.com Hey Scott - a lot of dev brands have custom icons in Font Awesome (Docker, GitHub, Golang, Java, JS, npm, python). It’d be cool if .NET had one for people to use in their sites too 😉

"How long would this take to implement in a greenfield context?" This is one of the questions I ask myself a lot to understand the value of modernization for a given system. The effort can be 10-100x more when you factor in all of the extra planning, discussions, integration, testing etc. 1/2

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

Israel can take out an Iranian commander 1000km away with a drone missile through a single bedroom wall, without any other damage. But to target a Hamas leader a few kilometres away, they need to raze whole neighborhoods to the ground. Is it obvious yet?

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

All Senator Padilla wanted was to do his job and get the questions his constituents had answered — instead, he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed. This is Donald Trump's America, where they attack our freedoms. We cannot be intimidated or scared by their abuses of power.

Senator dared to question the Empire, directly, and was met with force. Stormtroopers didn’t hesitate. They grabbed him, cuffed him, dragged him away like a dissident, claiming he “failed to identify himself.” But everyone knew who he was. He was a Senator.

I am as big a sucker as anyone for the fine-grained legal analysis, but I do sometimes worry it distracts us a little from the big, dumb, obvious points. This is appalling & precisely what the Framers were terrified of. Whether it’s technically legal if you squint right doesn’t change that.

It’s looking more and more like a dictatorship. That’s no way to treat a U.S. Senator. Claiming he was an attacker and failed to identify himself is delusional he’s a sitting senator. America is watching, and the tides are turning.

do not install any app from Facebook or Meta on any device. Ideally avoid installing ANY social media app. Login through a browser. I highly doubt Facebook is the only company pulling this shit www.zeropartydata.es/p/localhost-...

The American ideals laid out in the founding documents are not lost to the past just yet. As Congressman Jamie Raskin (@raskin.house.gov) says, “The people who wrote the Constitution—Trump didn’t know a lot about them, but they knew a lot about him.”

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Look, I'm a well-off middle-age cis white guy with four law degrees, three in commercial law fields. At this point, even I can see that key institutions have failed at the moment they were most needed because we have permitted the development of a largely unregulated and untaxed oligarch class.

And also consider how many families and small businesses sacrifice every time these soldiers are deployed. Again, willing sacrifices, because usually the mission is important, but…

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

“Poor training” implies that their behavior is a bug of the system that creates and administrates them, not a feature. Using police to suppress progressive (specifically progressive) resistance with violence and fear has been the norm for at least a century
