Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

The news is appalling. I believe what we're seeing today in Minneapolis on full display is what Dr. King called "The Three Evils of Society"; a sickness of Racism, Excessive Materialism, and Militarism.

it’s often said that: hard times create strong people strong people create good times good times create soft people soft people create hard times i’m going to teach my kids to be both. Diamond hard to the realities of the world, and cuddly soft to the people in that world.

tired: AI is taking our jobs wired: leaders of companies are giving our jobs away to AI

AI should be for things humans don’t want to do themselves. the boring repetitive slog stuff. therefore when someone uses AI for something I will assume they don’t want to do whatever it is they are asking the AI to do themselves.

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car. He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times. The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”. They hate women & it shows.

Political cartoonists are not fuckin’ around this week. (thread) 1. Pat Bagley

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

Renee Nicole Good was 37 - A U.S. citizen - and a poet — her wife watched her be murdered and is now a single parent to a 6 year old This regime has been defined by the endless tragedies it’s caused — we owe it to the victims to fight for the accountability they 💯 percent deserve

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Please share.. ICE THUGS shot & killed a woman in Minneapolis. Then attack citizens point blank with teargas grenades, pepper ball guns & chemical spray in the faces. Of course, Greg Bovino was in the mix. He needs to be brought up for murder charges.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 youtu.be/LnfiWmX_mTE?...

Make it viral.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

omg fuck ice even harder than before.

i’ll just go ahead and say it. i’m more depressed and worried about AI than i’m excited about it. i think it’s going to accelerate enshitification too warp speed. and i don’t think there’s another direction it can go.

first standup today

Would be nice if our elected officials would stop blasting, slamming, condemning, criticizing, decrying, and calling out, and start impeaching, removing, and convicting these malignant psychopaths

coming in to work on monday

Ugh. Who commits war crimes on a Saturday? Everyone knows we're supposed to do that shit on War Crime Wednesdays.

who is looking forward to going back to the real world soon?

Merry Christmas everyone!

Inheritance seems like a fairly divisive approach, but I love it for #webcomponent systems in the right use cases!

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

would be a shame if everyone in the world watched what CBS and 60 Minutes didn’t have the guts to air. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

New blog article time! Inheritance for web components! michaelwarren.dev/blog/inherit...

how about a blog article talking about class inheritance as a super power of #webcomponents? potentially interesting?

for my design system and component library friends out there doing visual diff testing, do you VDT test interactivity or just the static render? example is a button with hover, focus, and active states? VDT testing all states? if so, how? move the mouse like a user, or programmatic manipulation?

what should the next theme on michaelwarren.dev be?

Happy Baseline newly available day for CSS @scope now that it's in Firefox 146!

looking at conferences to go to next year and need some recommendations. what are some good conferences coming up with good web components and/or design systems content/speakers?!

this week is gonna be a doozy. 850 files changed in this PR and i’m not done yet. wish i could split it into smaller PRs but it’s a “whole library upgrade” type deal. so it be what it be. sorry in advance! lol

Developer attempts to replicate "Liquid Glass" in CSS, and once finished realizes what she'd actually created is an exploit for a fundamental, previously unknown, and rather serious browser vulnerability lyra.horse/blog/2025/12... "CSS hack accidentally becomes regular hack"

Part one came out a little while ago, so hopefully the wait for part 2 was worth it 😁 piccalil.li/blog/a-pragm...

hot take: “class only” styling approaches ain’t it. a mix of classes and custom attributes for styles makes the most sense in today’s componentized world `<div data-size={props.size}>` is better than `<div className={props.size === ‘medium’ ? ‘bunch of classes’ : ‘’}>` and all of its variants

huge news for #webcomponents devs! that’s awesome

Quick reminder that my first ever non-launch related sale is currently running and figured I'd make it a big one for the occasion. Will be running through until the end of the day on Monday.

🎈 Friendly reminder that my courses are on sale for Black Friday! I’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback about them, including this lovely testimonial just today. If you live in India, or another country with similar purchasing power, you can combine the Black Friday sale with a regional license. 💸

Looking for Black Friday deals? @piccalil.li has a nice roundup of dev-related ones that are currently running. piccalil.li/links/black-...
