Called both of my (Democratic) Senators to (1) thank them for voting against the CR and (2) ask them to pressure Schumer to step down as Senate Minority Leader.

I’ll be following up with a “thank you for your service” note to Schumer’s office. Schumer was fine as a normal-times leader in the Senate, but he’s not up to the task of opposing full-scale fascism. We desperately need opposition leaders who are. https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/114176552417133356

It’s time for Chuck Schumer to step down. He does not have the courage to be Minority Leader in the Senate.

Called both my Senators to thank them for their commitment to vote against the Continuing Resolution. Tried to call Chuck Schumer’s office (he’s cowardly supporting this CR) but the lines are blocked. Keep up the calls, folks: nobody should vote for this CR unless it reigns in Elon Musk’s DOGE.

Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian green-card holder, was arrested Saturday night for the "crime" of protesting Israel's actions in Gaza. ICE will not tell his lawyer or his (American) wife where he is being held. This action by the Trump administration is blatantly illegal.

I just contacted my two Senators and my Representative in Congress to ask them to boycott the State of the Union. If you live in the United States or are a citizen abroad, contact your representatives today!

Fantastic. More of this please. https://www.threads.net/@shannonrwatts/post/DGwiwsetIaf

Folks in the United States: call your congressional representatives NOW and urge them to boycott the State of the Union. We need Trunp to be speaking to a half-empty room to show that the country will not cooperate and will not be complicit in his dismantling of our democracy.

This is necessary; please boost it and keep it up. With corporations controlling so much of American politics, we need the whole world the band together to make it unprofitable to continue supporting Trump and Musk. Hit them in the pocketbook and ego, relentlessly. https://mastodon.social/@WarnerCrocker/114083210731778625

The #SwiftLang compiler recently got support for control over which warnings get escalated to errors (or not). It also groups warnings and provides more user-facing documentation on what those warnings *mean*. However, we have about 350 warnings that haven't yet been assigned groups and documented, so the actual benefit of this feature is pretty small right now. If you're interested in helping triage these warnings and/or writing documentation for them, we'd love your help in improving the experience for Swift users everywhere. There's more information in this issue: https://github.com/swiftlang/swift/issues/79648

Called both my Senators and also my house Representative today to ask that they push back forcefully on Musk and Trump’s dismantling of the U.S. government. Both Senators had their voice mail overflowing; I got a real staffer for my house Representative who appreciated the call.

Call your representatives to keep up the pressure! We need Republicans to hear your displeasure, and Democrats to hear your determination to help them push back. Democracy depends on it.

For anyone interested in thinking *very* deeply over the weekend about data-race safety in a potential extension to #SwiftLang, please give my pre-pitch on isolated conformances a read. It's over at https://forums.swift.org/t/pre-pitch-isolated-conformances/77726. This is very much from the "it is hard to make things simple" department.

I just went ahead and emailed the treasury department with a civil liberties complain regarding the theft of our private data. If you’ve ever paid taxes in the US, please consider doing the same.

Called the office of California Senator Alex Padilla to register my concerns over Trump’s illegal executive orders and firings of federal workers. He’s starting to push back (eg, https://www.padilla.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/padilla-statement-on-president-trumps-attempted-firing-of-independent-fec-chair/), but we need to keep it up. Please call your representatives in Congress! Do it today, it only takes 5 minutes and they need to hear from the people.
