Chrome 144 features a small change to #CSS overscroll-behavior: it now also works on non-scrollable scroll containers. While this change might seem trivial, it fixes an issue people have been dealing with for ages: prevent a page from scrolling while a is open.

We thank all of the members who are standing up for the people of DC! The reps that went to bat for DC help us to stay in the fight to protect our home and each other!

Democrats, VOTE NO on H.R. 5214 and 5107!!!

This is the real threat to DC's safety right now — not people awaiting trial, and not local police being held accountable.

House Dems, see the larger picture. The DC bills you will vote on tonight are only about whether you will cooperate with Trump's agenda of detention or oppose it. Nothing else.
The Alaska National Guard has responded to public concerns around a rapid response unit trained for "civil disturbance operations:" 100 service members will be trained "to support civil authorities."

At the request of Gov. Dunleavy, they will deploy to Washington D.C. in March 2026.

Though it takes place in Brazil, this is exactly the movie, Bacurau
“One of the Italian snipers identified to SISMI in 1993 was from Milan, and the owner of a private clinic specialising in cosmetic surgery,” he said. “We are talking about wealthy people, entrepreneurs with a reputation, who during the siege of Sarajevo paid to be able to kill helpless civilians.”
Wealthy foreign gun enthusiasts paid Bosnian Serb forces for the chance to shoot residents of Sarajevo during the siege of the city during the 1990s, according to claims being investigated by Italian magistrates ⬇️

This is exactly what we ended up doing on Direct File to protect taxpayer privacy while remaining focused on accessibility.

Like any UX solution, you also have options with accessibility, each with their own tradeoffs.

How do you learn about those trade-offs? Learn to use assistive technology.

Cool to see this state-level design system tracker by @beeckcenter.bsky.social. Contrary to the beliefs of some—design is so much more than branding and beauty. And it looks like at least MD and NJ are using USWDS as a base (and maybe soon CO).

Completely unrelated to the article, but I don’t know why I get so much of a kick out of the stylesheet links I see shown in so many tech story images.

Over the 3-day weekend, like every normal person, I sat down and wrote a blog post about modal windows. I worked on creating the modals for in the U.S. Web Design System back in 2021, and now, HTML offers us the element. jaredcunha.com/blog/html-di...
HTML dialog: Getting accessibility and UX right
The HTML dialog element gives us powerful native modal capabilities, but creating dialogs that work well for all users still requires intentional accessibility and UX decisions.

CSS is so awesome, y’all.
This talk by @nerdy.dev is a wonderful presentation of why CSS is awesome and why we love it so much www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW6G...

Just look at what's possible with #CSS today

And the format is great for the impatient ones (myself included). Right speed, right transitions (pun intended 😉)
