**Alt text (more literal):** A photo of a large screen at the front of a room showing a blue slide with the headline “Emergency Call to Action!” in bold black text. Below, smaller text says: “Demand an immediate stay of removal for Springfield parent, Juan David!” Several paragraphs explain that on Monday 2/2 the government filed a motion to transfer Juan David for deportation, that a hearing on 2/4 resulted in a judge denying a petition allowing him to stay in Massachusetts, and that congressional offices are needed to demand an emergency stay of removal. The final paragraph notes he has a pending T visa case stemming from labor trafficking and should not be deported. On the right side of the slide is a green box listing phone numbers: “Call: Senator Markey: 617-565-8519; Senator Warren: 617-565-3170; Rep. Neal: 413-785-0325.” The tops of several people’s heads are visible at the bottom edge of the photo. A black overlay at the bottom contains white text reading: “Literally just now. Please call ASAP.

A screenshot from github that reads "A major complaint we hear about FedCM is that it is taking a generic capability and replacing it with a far more narrow and limited one. We think that - given how widely sites exchange information about user activity - this is justified and even necessary. Adding some friction to cross-site information flow is appropriate, especially if it means that users will be better able to observe and control those flows. I say "better" here advisedly. There are a number of aspects to this work that will need to be worked out carefully over time. While we see an opportunity to make cross-site information flow explicit - and permissioned - we see a number of challenges: Improving user comprehension about the way in which information flows manifest on the web remains a challenge. For instance, the ability for sites to turn a one-off cross-site interactions into a persistent linkage between a user's identity on each site is hard to explain and understand. How use of FedCM will change how people conceptualize their online identity is something will need time and research to better understand. "
