Is there a CSS property for "not italic?" For example, if I have a selector with a font-style of italic, and I'd like <em> or <i> tagged elements within those elements to display as non-italic.
#CSS
(D) Ten Planks
* strengthening democracy
* combatting climate change
* supporting workers & the economy
* protecting and expanding voting rights
* supporting responsible gun safety measures
* promoting social justice and equality
* protecting reproductive rights
* addressing income inequality
* lowering healthcare costs
* investing in education
(D) Two Slogans
-Tired of the chaos?
-If we work hard & play by the rules, then we should *all* have the chance to succeed.
You're looking good wisdems.org
(And as a footnote: credit where credit due: that second slogan is what Working Families Parties long used as their slogan. Their goal was to push this to the mainstream of the Left. So it looks like this counts as a win for WFP. )

Oh hey, another anti-transphobia post is doing some sort of numbers, so please everybody be aware of @trans_rescue
They are an NGO based in the Netherlands and they help trans people leave unsafe countries around the globe. Sadly, that now includes the US. Please give them follows and boosts and, if possible, donations. They can always use money to save trans lives.

Oh, and hey, HRC is calling for us all to send well-deserved nastygrams to the Wall Street Journal over their "reporting" on the Charlie Kirk shooting that endangered trans lives for NO reason. Mine is on the way.

We all have a responsibility to

Privacy is Also Protecting the Data of Others

Was looking for a less stimulating launcher on F-droid (you know, cause I feel like the swiping and moving and friendly bubbly images are very satisfying which is unfortunately not very helpful for someone who is easily distracted)
And I found this and honestly the screencaps convinced me. 100% this was made specifically for me
Sadly doesn't seem to come with the background images included, now there's room for improvement

I'm afraid that comment went right over my head.
Edit: Oh, the quantum chromodynamic smileys in the thumbnail.
Yes, defending Angel Reese is personal.
Because defending Angel Reese isnβt just about the game. Itβs about what it feels like, deep in my body, every time a Black woman is targeted for speaking up, asking for more, or simply refusing to shrink.
Due to my lived experiences, the βmaybe thereβs more to the storyβ and βbut what ifβ¦β comments never land as neutral, as reflective.

Thatβs why the racism swirling around Angel Reese, and so many Black women athletes, doesnβt just make it hard to enjoy womenβs sportsβ¦it makes it triggering, exhausting, and too often, harmful. Whatβs supposed to be joyful, light-hearted, and fun, gets tangled up with survival.
This is the everyday reality of being a Black woman.
Even when we shine, even when we excel, the spotlight comes with attacks.
And every βbutβ feels like another reminder that the world doesnβt rush to protect usβ¦in fact, itβs often the opposite.
Leaving us to defend each other.
So yes, I come to her defense hard. Because when I defend her, Iβm also defending myself.

#USpol #DemocracyVersusRepublic
a long but readable read β was the US constitution really designed for democracy, or designed to protect a powerful few? Ari Berman May 2024 in Mother Jones;
β
βFrom childhood, we are taught to venerate the Constitution as a civic religion, but the truth is that Americaβs democratic experiment has been defined since the nationβs founding by a central tension over whom the government should favor. The United States has historically been a laboratory for both oligarchy and genuine democracy. And to grasp the present-day fight, one must understand the long-standing clash between competing notions of majority rule and minority rightsβ¦
and
βBut as the United States has democratized in the centuries since, extending the vote and many other rights to formerly disenfranchised communities, the antidemocratic features built into the Constitution have become even more pronounced, to the point that they are threatening the survival of representative government in America.
The timing of our modern retreat from democracy is no coincidence. The nation is now roughly 20 years away from a future in which white people will no longer be the majorityβ¦
and
βThis imbalance is growing more lopsided: By 2040, roughly 70 percent of Americans will live in 15 states with 30 senators, while the other 30 percentβwho are whiter, older, and more rural than the country as a wholeβwill elect 70 senatorsβ¦

I think it would be interesting if Senator Mitch McConnell, who suffered an infection of polio as a child would be called as a witness to any congressional meeting public meeting with RFK jr.
It should not be lost on any of us that Mitch made todayβs crisis second Trump administration possible all to keep power for the GOP.
He was willing through his choices to release polio upon the world again all to keep political power

(Amendment I) Sorry, you don't have the right to assemble in public space even in protest because your homeless.
(Amendment IV) Sorry, you don't have the right to be served a search warrant when we steal your only way to stay warm and dry.
(Amendment VIII) Sorry, your under arrest for trying to survive in public spaces in the middle of winter/heatwave after the city/state/federal has taken everything from you and there is absolutely no place to go to get out of the weather.
A short time ago, #Trump decided that 770,000 people have no US Constitution rights when he declared it #Illegal2BHomeless across the entire country. Not only do we now have to be on the lookout for city cops, shariffs, state cops, National Guards that also forgot the oath we say when joining the US Military, we have to be looking for every day haters who won't hesitate to kill us for simply not having paid for place to live.
But the silence continues.

The plans of zillionaires. They seem fine with murdering billions of people as long as they get to have their private child rape islands. If we want to have any other future, we're going to have to go remove them as well as go around them.
That is, get rid of systemic issues favoring money in politics so we can ditch fossil fuels as a society, in addition to individuals doing their own small part by adopting new habits. Riding bikes is nice, but it's only about 1% of the blocking issue.
@bweller this is regarding Mark Carney's plan to scrap incentive programs for EV sales in Canada, to help protect the job market in the Canadian auto sector (by curbing the demand for Teslas, Volts, etc)
There is some truth that we don't have the infrastructure or experience to build the EV components that are in demand, but it still seems like the very much wrong way to address the problem, especially since leaning into the ICE auto sector stuff is still leaning too much on an unstable partner
