Incredibly excited to share the first iteration of our #XR #Accessibility Guidelines! We've been working on these for just about 2 years now and I truly believe they will push the state of the art for XR forward when adopted.
Announcing the MSF XR Accessibility Guidelines v1.0! Testable criteria to help creators evaluate accessible #XR experiences — and push toward accessibility for severe disabilities. Still maturing — feedback welcome before July 31. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

ICE detained a veteran and U.S. citizen for three days. They didn’t let him contact his family or a lawyer. They didn’t let him change or shower. They didn’t give him a reason for his detention. Under this regime, no one is safe. apnews.com/article/us-a...

66,000 tons of food are rotting away in USAID warehouses thanks to Trump and DOGE. That's enough food to feed more than a million people in the world's poorest countries for three months — including over 480,000 kids. In what world is starving children "efficient"?

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president
Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

The IRS could collect $500 billion LESS in tax revenue this year due to DOGE cuts to the agency. A big chunk of that will come from the rich underpaying their taxes. Meanwhile, only $7.7 billion of DOGE "savings" can actually be verified. So much for efficiency. fortune.com/2025/03/24/i...

This story makes a really powerful (and tragically depressing) point: that there is no evidence strong enough to counter a world view anchored in conspiracy theory and reinforced by a multitide of motivated "influencers" — even the death of one's own child.

If they can disappear him without a trial, they can disappear any of us. "Citizenship will prote-" Citizenship is words on a piece of paper, and won't protect anyone who doesn't already have powerful friends.
Posting tonight ti shine a light on what the Alien Enemies Act looks like IRL. Our @immdef.bsky.social client fled Venezuela last year & came to US to seek asylum. He has a strong claim. He was detained upon entry because ICE alleged his tattoos are gang related. They are absolutely not. 🧵

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.
