You can probably support the working class and demand support for people who are struggling because of capitalist inequality and also not pretend massively bigoted rhetoric and action isn't happening or being Trojan-horsed in under the guise of taking down those in power, by the way. Just a thought.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

The idea that journalists, politicians, groups or - you know, women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ people - should "stay on the pitch" doesn't really hold up. Foreign Minister's account has 60k followers - 40 likes, 13k views? Blue ticks straight to the top of the queue with misogyny, bile.

The British state has used every method they can to isolate and break the spirits of the 8 prisoners who stand with Palestine. They are now close to dying & the British state doesn't care. Irish people know hunger strikes. We know British oppression. We know colonialism. Stand up, take Action 🇵🇸

How about a #CSS property called "property" that you could use like this: .class { property(font-size, top, left, margin-bottom): 1rem; } instead of: .class { font-size: 1rem; top: 1rem; left: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem; } Like :where() except for properties.

Everyone cool if we start using the word "terrorism" to describe far right intimidation and violence in Ireland? (You know, the kind where someone firebombs a place where migrant kids are living)

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

I believe the correct word for this is "terrorism". www.thetimes.com/article/0887...

Okay, now that we've elected two leftwing presidents in a row (after the two immediately preceding left-leaning presidents), can we start the process of doing the same for our national and local politicians? Congratulations Catherine Connolly. #Aras25

5 more days to go until we have Catherine Connelly as president. I'm looking forward to that. #Aras25

I've been so annoyed by AI tools and CSS that I made a CSS MCP that: * consults with MDN for docs * reports browser compat * uses project Wallace to analyze your CSS github.com/stolinski/cs... Also made claude code agent for css but still perfecting it.
