The feds will sue if/when state enforces a law like this against them. But every state should pass such a law. The American Civil War II demands legislation like this from every state committed to fighting Republican Fascism.

Chuck Schumer is working towards some waffle bullshit “compromise” where ICE pinky promises to be less nazi-ish, and taxpayers cough up another $10 billion to fund the guys beating the fuck out of people and shooting people on the street.

Chuck Schumer is a fucking coward, a collaborator, and an accomplice.

Too many people are still stuck in the denial stage of the five stages of grief. I have empathy for those people. But time is running out. If we don't all get on the same page of reality, we'll never get anything done.

Recently learned about `mise` and have been trying it out in a monorepo at work. SO nice to have a real task runner that understands task dependencies instead of trying to shove things into package.json scripts.

https://mise.jdx.dev

Also allows you to define aqua/asdf/etc packages that your project depends on and will automatically manage those. Give it a look!

And no, we can't have a different order for borders and outlines, or for box-sizing: content-box vs box-sizing: border-box.

The @csswg needs your input!

We just resolved to support multiple borders and outlines per element, comma separated! 🎉

But we can’t decide on the order: inside out or outside in?
What feels more natural to you, A or B?

Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI generated and the code doesn't do any of the core parts of matrix that make it secure and interoperable.

@julieofthespirits Agreed top to bottom.

A side branch: I’m newly frustrated by the way “concentration camp” has become synonymous with “death camp.” The distinction matters because the Nazis operated concentration camps for many years before they turned them into death camps; the original official plan was to •deport• all the Jews from Europe. It turned into mass killing only when deporting that many people proved impossible. And by missing that distinction and forgetting that history, we fail to notice that (1) DHS is most certainly building and operating concentration camps, (2) they are not death camps yet, and (3) this trajectory is exactly how death camps eventually came about under the Nazis. So we miss both the urgency •and• the possibility of action!
