Gavin Newsom just said the quiet part out loud:
“All this anti-woke stuff is just anti-Black. Period. Full stop.”
And he’s right. “Anti-woke” was never about ideas, it was a marketing campaign to sanitize racism, roll back progress, and make bigotry sound intellectual.

Since I’m already throttled for being a truth teller, screw it.
This is a thread about what people do when the government turns fascist. 🧵

Kurt Vonnegut said the country we love “still exists … not in the White House or the Supreme Court” but in our public libraries, and I’m convinced the renewal of the world begins when a child enters the library for the first time and finds the book that saves her life.

Racism and racist ideology is not a “political view.” It’s not about left or right it’s about right and wrong. Framing them as a difference of opinion is dangerous because it minimizes the harm, violence, and inequality it produces. Political debates are about policy. Racism is about stripping people of humanity and denigrating their existence. Don’t confuse the two.

Gun violence in this country must end. There are solutions. Our leaders must find the political will.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will kick 15 million Americans off their health insurance.
But don’t worry: at least Amazon will pocket an estimated $16 billion extra this year.

Starting this school year: Free breakfast. Free lunch. No questions asked.
That’s how we set our kids up for success.

Social Security supports our people by providing financial stability for retirees, people with disabilities, surviving spouses and families. Today we celebrate 90 years of this program. We must ensure it continues and families continue to receive this vital support.

The average price of a pound of ground beef rose to $6.12 in June, up nearly 12% from a year ago, according to U.S. government data. The average price of all uncooked beef steaks rose 8% to $11.49 per pound. abcnews.link/jNi4V9P

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

AI will make the amount of software we build explode.
At Netlify we just switched from Zoom to Google Meets. In general an improvement, except that in Meets you can't share audio from outside the tab you are screen sharing. This means no ability to play a Spotify song during the first few minutes of a townhall or large group meeting while showing the intro slides and messaging.
Before AI, I would just have lived with it. Not now.
I opened up Claude Code and gave it this prompt:
"I want to create a chrome extension that lets me paste a spotify embed block (or similar embed block) and then injects an iframe into the current page with that embed positioned so it's always on top of any other elements and interactive. Make sure there's a little close icon to dismiss the iframe again (should remove the iframe from the DOM)"
Now I have a Chrome Extension that lets me play Spotify from within any tab, and I've solved my problem.
I've coded Chrome Extensions myself, but it's a long time ago, and I would not have had the time to read up on how they work, figuring out how to start one and do the setup, write UI code for drag'n drop stuff in JavaScript, etc, etc...
This is software that would have never been made without AI, and we'll see so much more of this.
What's also true is that had I not been an experienced developer, had I not known about the capabilities of Chrome Extensions to inject code into the current tab, or had I not known about iframe's and their ability to run external code safely within a tab, I would not have been able to write a prompt to solve this problem with or without AI.
As @KentBeck said in a recent tweet: "The value of 90% of my skills just dropped to $0. The leverage for the remaining 10% went up 1000x."

Instead of starting new parties and complaining about a broken system, how about we just overturn Citizens United and tell billionaires to keep their money out of our democracy.

In these pivotal, painful times for so many, it is important that we refuse to adjust to injustice.

Many millions of vulnerable Americans are due to needlessly suffer because of the unbridled greed of the Republican Party and their billionaire benefactors. And trust in our government and this economic system will continue to erode. Mark today as key in the decline of America.

People don’t “receive” Medicaid
They are “covered” by it
The wording is important
No one sits at home getting checks from Medicaid
It covers medical expenses
Period
You also have to be practically destitute to get it
No one dreams of qualifying for Medicaid
