If you're new to CSS, one of the best ways to make your life easier is to take advantage of all the CSS debugging features in your devtools.

To help, I teamed up with @amitsheen.bsky.social to create a free, 5-part beginner course on getting started with them: devtoolsforbeginners.kevinpowell.co

I love CSS folks. They are soldiers of joy and delight. The world is burning and AI debates have people at each others throats and CSS peeps keep being like “check out this dancing turtle I made out of divs 🥰”

The lakes and the cleanliness are drawing me back in

Meta Wins Blockbuster AI Copyright Case—but There’s a Catch A federal judge ruled that Meta did not violate the law when it trained its AI models on 13 authors' books.

Trump is deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles without the governor’s request or consent. Governor Newsom has publicly condemned the move, calling it “purposefully inflammatory.”

Yesterday, a crowd responded to a federal raid in Minneapolis. Today, something similar happened in Chicago.

ICE has facilities and infrastructure. Rather than waiting for ICE to strike and then attempting to react, one could take the initiative, so as to determine the time and place of conflict.

How the Farm Industry Spied on Animal Rights Activists and Pushed the FBI to Treat Them as Terrorists For years, a powerful ‘Big Ag’ trade group served up information on activists to the FBI. Records reveal a decade-long effort to see the animal rights movement labeled a legitimate terrorism threat.

Confidential records obtained by WIRED & @propertyofthepeople.org show the ag industry deploying moles to infiltrate activist meetings, while functionally serving as FBI informants, in a shadow campaign to brand the animal rights movement America's biggest bioterrorism threat.

The Height Enigma • Josh W. Comeau One of the most perplexing and befuddling things in CSS for me, for many years, was the behaviour of percentage-based heights. Sometimes, seemingly at random, setting “height: 100%” would have no effe...

For years, one of the most befuddling things for me in CSS was how “height: 100%” would sometimes just not work. Every time I tried to use it was a roll of the dice. 😅

Like everything else in CSS, though, it all makes perfect sense when we understand the underlying mechanism. ✨

Let’s explore. 🧵

@gallego.senate.gov is headed to Bucks County PA for a @democrats.org peoples Townhall on Sat, because, as we know, neither Senator in PA is going to be holding one anytime soon. I will also say I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this is happening days after that Fetterman article came out.

Trump’s organization is out here selling Trump 2028 hats like the Constitution is just a suggestion.

Reminder: The 22nd Amendment exists. You can’t run for a third term.

Trump Severs Funding for Minority Business Centers as He Dismantles the MBDA The Minority Business Development Agency–which employed about 100 workers at full capacity–is reportedly down to one employee.

Imagine dismantling the only federal agency dedicated to uplifting minority businesses—
That’s exactly what Trump did.

The MBDA went from nearly 100 employees to just a few.

You don’t gut an agency like that unless you’re trying to kill its mission.

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?"

Pride organizers say sponsors are pulling back amid DEI rollbacks, economic fears Several of the country’s largest LGBTQ Pride celebrations have lost major sponsors, to the tune of $200,000 to $350,000 per event.

In some cases, sponsors have asked to be less visible. Target told NYC Pride that it would like to take a "silent partnership role," while Twin Cities Pride decided to decline the Minneapolis-based retailer's sponsorship altogether due to its DEI rollbacks.

ICE Can’t Bring Back Man Deported to El Salvador Prison in Error, Agency Says The Trump administration said the court didn’t have the authority to order the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

This should terrify everyone. The Trump Admin wrongly deported a man and are now claiming they can't make the Salvadoran govt release him. This admin has zero accountability. When they can make an error this massive and do nothing to fix it, no one is truly safe. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Today, I honored Gordy Kirk, who passed away on March 2nd, three weeks shy of his 102nd birthday.

A proud member of Saint Paul’s Rondo neighborhood, Gordy was a World War II combat veteran who bravely served his country at a time when the ranks of our Armed Forces were segregated.

Immigrant women describe 'hell on earth' in ICE detention No shower for days, cameras trained on the toilet, women crammed into cells 'like sardines,' among the allegations.

"There was no access to a toilet, so guards told the women – whose accounts in some cases occurred on different days or different buses – to urinate or defecate on the floor... "
