I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

At @oxide.computer, we love terminal UIs--sure, for the retro appeal, but more for their simplicity and universality on systems we build and debug. Last night, @orhun.dev joined @bcantrill.bsky.social and me to talk about ratatui, the Rust framework for building incredible TUIs. youtu.be/VbLz79trgz8
