Over the past week, I've had the pleasure of working with two incredible humans during the @mintbeanio #hackathon, developer @nickdayfsd and UX/UI designer @jamesrothbart to build an interactive and accessible digital painting app for children.

The USA meets every single one of these conditions. Not just one. Every. Single. One.

THIS IS EPIC 🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Stephen Colbert just invited the editor of The New Yorker to unveil the next cover of the magazine - which depicts Trump’s tiny hand over the mute button on a remote control. This is how we fight back!! FUCK censorship!

Holy moly!
Londoners protesting AGAINST TRUMP visit today. Thank you from the U.S. — we greatly appreciate a break from the fascist toddler.

🚨NEW: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. Trump ain't sleeping tonight. 🤣 This is a must-watch. 🔥

“But that’s not how math works” 😂🎯
🚨This is literally one of the best clips ever: Rep. Ted Lieu: “Last month’s job numbers were so bad, Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics… Well this month, the report was equally horrible…Trump’s economy sucks.” #Trumpflation

“Otherwise, Putin would be sitting in Kyiv with his eyes on the rest of Europe, starting with Poland.” ~ @KamalaHarris on September 10, 2024 She called it, again. Kamala’s knowledge on foreign policy is remarkable. And I knew she was right about this the moment she said it.
🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Russian drones have reportedly crossed into Polish airspace as they carried out large-scale overnight strikes on Ukraine, putting the Polish city of Zamość under threat. Polish authorities closed Rzeszów Airport, a key logistics hub for Western military aid to Ukraine, cited “unplanned military activity related to ensuring state security" and that their forces remain fully prepared to respond. The initial warnings came from the Ukraine Airforce who spotted the drones and alerted Polish authorities. Poland is a NATO country. Any armed military attack against it would pull Europe and the United States into war with Russia.

If you’re still pro-Trump, I don’t judge you for your choice of political party. I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion & humanity. I judge you for your support of racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, treason & fascism. So will others. So will history.

Ooof. Playing #BaldursGate3 for the first time (I know I know) and Wulbren’s rant on the Gondian’s effect on the city hits hard right now seeing what’s happening in our country.

Wow. Probably one of the most powerful speeches I’ve heard in recent memory. A powerful reminder of where we came from and exactly what is at stake and under attack right now in our country. youtu.be/1oRG5Pr6iBY?si=FjlQ… via @YouTube

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

Absolutely absurd and should never happen, let alone here in the United States. This administration is out of control.
If they can handcuff a U.S. Senator for asking a question, imagine what they will do to you.

🚨🚨FULL SPEECH Governor Newsom delivers a powerful and urgent address to the people of California and the nation in direct response to President Trump’s illegal militarization of Los Angeles and his broader assault on our democracy. A must watch till the end.

This gets worse every time I see it. Absolutely absurd. I’m glad the woman thought to film this and didn’t hesitate to run to the other woman’s rescue. Sheesh. Shot for just trying to get home.
Point blank.

I’ve watched this video three times. I don’t usually post MSNBC stuff, but this is spot on. Donald Trump has lost. He knows it. Because there’s one thing in this country that you cannot stop - American grit. From Maya Angelou to John Wayne, this country has proven time and again that we are unbreakable. We pride ourselves on it. It’s what makes America America. We have been through hell in this baby country. We are the redheaded stepchildren of the world (some more than others, MAGA) and yet we strive forward loudly, and proudly American. You will not take that from us no matter what you do. Your time is coming to an end. That’s why the escalation is happening in California. You picked the wrong state, the wrong people, the wrong country. This is the United States of America. We don’t bow to dictators here. EVER!
