🚨ON JANUARY 20 –– JOIN THE NATIONWIDE SHUTDOWN!
On the one year anniversary of Trump taking office for the second time, millions of people across the country will walk out of work and school in opposition to the Trump administration's racist, billionaire program. Trump has employed ICE and the military as his personal army against the working class at home and abroad in places like Venezuela. We refuse to allow Trump, ICE and the racist deportation machine to operate with impunity!

A federal judge ruled Friday that the #Trump admin cannot block #federal money for #childcare subsidies & other programs aimed at supporting needy #children & their #families from flowing to 5 #Democratic-led #states for now.
#California, #Colorado, #Illinois, #Minnesota & #NewYork argued that a policy to freeze funds for 3 grant programs is having an immediate impact on them & creating “operational chaos.”
Hey y’all, hope you’re doing well. Quick question: I’m trying to use Tweezcake on my Windows computer. I can open it and hear sound effects, but NVDA doesn’t seem to detect the actual window at all. Has anyone run into this or have any suggestions?
Thanks so much.
I'm currently about a two hour's drive away from Charlotte, but I hear it better from my home in Queens.
Anyway, never thought that station would change their format.
This via @wdlindsy deserves underlining:
The behavior you are seeing from ICE and from the Trump regime is the behavior of people who are scared.
Their bluster is fear. Their threats are fear. Their aggression is fear. Their defensiveness is fear. Their scrambling to keep their faces hidden and their actions secret is fear. Their desperate stream of liearrhea is fear. Their panic is fear.
They are acting tough, but they are not acting like people who are winning.
Keep them afraid.

The Trump regime is acting like a cornered animal: aggressive, panicked, snarling and biting.
This makes them dangerous. It does not, however, make them victorious. Be clear on the difference.
Across the country, Americans are honoring Renee Nicole Good and mourning all the lives ICE has taken and destroyed.
Hundreds of marches and vigils are planned this weekend. Please join us to say ICE Out For Good: mobilize.us/?tag_ids=29132&utm…

"An Ontario Superior Court judge has ruled in favour of a Mississauga homeowner whose naturalized front garden had become the source of legal turmoil.
Wolf Ruck’s long grass may have appeared as overgrown, but Ruck had intentionally cultivated a pollinator-friendly yard. He is part of the natural gardening community, which prioritizes ecological function over landscaping aesthetics."

The Verge is actually doing it. Actually connecting the dots between the fascistic tendencies of app stores with the profit motives of their proprietors.
FINALLY.
The open web has been roadkill in the profit games the mobile duopoly has set up, muscled out of view with policies and choices that were designed to leave no fingerprints. But we can all see it clearly now:

US Border agents just shot two people in Portland, Oregon today.
It's almost as if they are intentionally trying to desensitize us to their violence, to make us accept that they will kill whoever they want, whenever they want.
But if we do that, things will only get worse.
All around the country, we must flood the streets to show that we will not be intimidated. We have to build the capacity to defend our communities from the murderers and kidnappers in ICE. How we rise to this challenge will determine the future for all of us.
Smash ICE.

За весь 2025 год общая продолжительность «сбоев» составила 37 166 часов. Из-за этого экономика страны потеряла 11,9 миллиарда долларов.
Для сравнения, Венесуэла, которая находится на второй строчке по потерям, оставалась без связи всего 5952 часа.

IAAP certified pros: Has certification increased your opportunities?
I have been developing accessible websites for five years as a freelancer. Some clients seek standards compliance, others don't. Although I love educating clients and getting them on a pathway to standards, I want to be doing all accessible work to standard all the time.
I am looking at the CPACC then adding the WAS for the CPWA combo. What do you think?
I have just seen "voila" written accidentally as "viola", and let me tell you, that sure changes everything!
What would you do if someone randomly shouted "VIOLA!" at you?
Would you play them a tune, or just shrug? Maybe some other thing?
