Too late, he's doubled down: “That staffer should be fired immediately, and the President should publicly condemn this action,” Burns continued. “This kind of insensitive and racist communication does not reflect the heart, values, or leadership of the President of the United States, nor does it represent the America we are striving to build.”

Anti-abortion lawmakers and others
are using strategies from the playbook of bigots who sought to restrict access to voting,
-- even by trying to change the rules for citizen-led initiatives.
ProPublica found legislation or proposals introduced in at least four states in the last year that would undermine ballot initiatives adding abortion protections to state law.
Sarah Walker, policy and legal advocacy director at the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, said that e…

Voters in at Least 10 States Are Trying to Protect Abortion Rights. GOP Officials Are Throwing Up Roadblocks.

#Gentoo #jobserver revealed another problem with steve in particular, and (I believe) the jobserver protocol in general: blocking clients are prioritized over polling clients.
The problem is simple: when handling blocking reads, steve can issue a job token immediately. When handling a poll, it merely indicates that a token is available, and the client must issue another read request to get it. So if tokens are scarce and there are both blocking and polling clients running, the former are likely to be taking all the incoming tokens.
My idea of working around this is to implement temporary reservations. If a client polls for a token, we reserve one for it. The reserved token can afterwards be only read by the same client. This way, both blocking and polling clients get a token — the former get it immediately, the latter get it reserved for them. And if there are no tokens available, both get into a single FIFO queue, for a poor man's round-robin (steve also throttles all reads to one token at a time).
However, polls technically don't guarantee that the client will eventually read the token, so we need to handle reservation expirations as well.
