Ok, so Republicans just introduced a 900 page bill none of them have read. But my team is going through it line by line and on this 🧵you can see the hidden provisions we found. Will update all day. 1/ NEW Medicaid cuts, so now 17 million - instead of 16M - lose health care.

What do you think the likelihood is of someone seeing I did an unsolicited free accessibility audit of a page on their site and fixing the problems I found? Let's find out. @elemntor

If you’re someone who’s non disabled, & especially if you’re a man, volunteering to be an advocate for patients in healthcare settings is an incredible kindness. Having someone with us can make a world of difference. My article on being a good advocate: https://t.co/PtQCGOD8kW

Disabled patients are rightfully terrified of being hospitalized. We are stripped of our agency and control in a hospital environment. Having an effective advocate can vastly improve the experience.

Google will still crawl your site. Google will still rank you. Google will still send you emails about structured data errors. And Google will use all that beautiful information to generate AI answers. But Google will not send you traffic. That time is done.

Remember, they couldn't possibly afford to pay artists, authors, and programmers anything for the training data they built their business on. Somehow, they manage to raise all the money they need to purchase their hardware, and pay their engineers astronomical salaries, though!

Wild how in 2020/2021, more people working from home +less people driving had our emissions drastically down, and masking/better air quality eradicated an entire flu strain, but people are like nahhhh we need to go back to the “normal” that destroys the planet and our health 🥴

Yes! Jetpack does track what I type in plugin search. Sends the data instantly to wp dot com. Thus I got the plugin recommendation email instantly. 🧵
Does Jetpack track what I search in the WordPress Plugin repository? I was searching for security plugin & instantly got this Jetpack Protect recommendation email.

Someone dumped a single-use vape on my doorstep so I extracted the lithium cell and used it to power this iPod. These cells are perfectly rechargeable and putting them in single-use products really ought to be an ewaste crime.

There are more cases of measles than there are NCAA trans athletes. You’d never know it listening to lawmakers.
BREAKING: A person hospitalized with measles in West Texas has died, the first in an outbreak that has infected more than 120 people.

After several delays, @DOGE has finally posted its purported savings. Why did it take so long to create a simple webpage with a 1000-row table? Who knows! Let's dig in. Headline number: $55B saved. They list the savings per nixed contract. This should be easy to verify then. 🧵
It's Monday. @DOGE is the laziest, most overpaid bunch of incompetent, unelected bureaucrats we've ever seen.

This is one of the images deleted from the @CDCgov historical archive, by the way. I downloaded it this morning and can't access it anymore. We are ready to repeat the past.
⚠️CDC WEBSITES DELETED—Multiple CDC websites and datasets related to HIV, LGBTQ people, youth health behaviors and more have been removed after the agency was directed to comply with an executive order from President Trump by 5pm deadline. Wildest is taking down even HIV pages!

Let’s worry about the actual accessibility of those “same” patterns that people are familiar with before we go throwing random inaccessible nonsense into things just because.
What I see on this post: 1. Color contrast failures. 2. Unreadable fonts. 3. #WCAG 2.2.2 failure (snowfall animation). #WordPress themes need more #a11y and expected interfaces that convert. Not "weird" designs that confuse people or kill time on site. https://t.co/hU7rfvi4uX

The amount of pushback to this small but hugely impactful change, and resistance to being open to any kind of solution other than keeping what is already there is a nice little example of the larger problem with the overall attitude about the accessibility of the WP editor.
What a fabulous response by @alexleestine303 to this Gutenberg Github discussion about button positioning and the use of icons over text. #accessibility #a11y #WordPress

Yup, its ok for @wordpressdotcom to remove the ability to have plugins (a cornerstone that makes #WordPress what it is) in the free version, but then attacks @wpengine for removing post revision history as a default (that they will enable upon request on https://t.co/q9IVQqizQP).
wpengine.com
This page offers answers to common questions about default platform settings, WordPress settings, and server configuration settings
Haha. I never realized @wordpressdotcom had "install plugins and themes" behind a paywall. Sounds like a hacked up, neutered version of @WordPress

My argument is simple: people who say they want to see a return of American manufacturing don't actually vote with their dollar. Let me show you. 🧵
@dieworkwear Based on your logic we should just give up local manufacturing and send everything overseas because child labor is cheaper than US labor? That we don’t need to manufacture anything locally? That’s quite a ignorant argument How come every other country has protectionism?
