4 years ago, I was locked down in the Capitol. When the majority of the Republicans voted to overturn the election AFTER the attack, something broke in Congress that still hasn’t healed. Truth is truth. And while it should never be partisan to defend democracy, we can’t pretend it isn’t.

My new deep dive on how Trump “won” the popular vote.

I put “won” in quotes because it wasn’t his win, but Harris’s loss. The results were not a “swing right” embracing Trump/MAGA, but a vote of no confidence in Democrats (and in our system as a whole).

The story of Jan 6 is like this now. Trump supporters throw out several different and sometimes contradictory explanations: that it was a just cause, that it wasn’t a big deal, that the FBI did it. The point isn’t to convince but to sow doubt in the truth… of an insurrection attempt incited by lies.

Phoenix LiveView 1.0 is out!!!

Official blog post with a history of LiveView: phoenixframework.org/blog/phoenix...

Full changelog here: github.com/phoenixframe...

I think the way I would summarize the advantages of Phoenix to a lay person would be: it's like the simplicity of building MPAs in Ruby on Rails, except it's actually fast and actually maintainable. It's everything that's good about Rails. With pretty much none of the downsides.
