Abolish ICE!
Abolish ICE!
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

I don't think people should say this without proof -- they are literally not "now in ICE." Most of them are in the Portland PD, if you want to make a point of it.
Yes, right-wing dudes are in the police everywhere and all at once. This line is just a way to maintain police exceptionalism.

The indictment of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers revealed that they had a cache of weapons, entered the Capitol in military formation, and were prepared to harm lawmakers. They were all pardoned and no doubt many of them are now in ICE

We shipped somewhere around 20,000 whistles *today* (850 of those were mine) and literally the only thing we need are some coils of plastic to turn into a fleet of whistles. Help out! linktr.ee/WhistleWishl...

We're the Whistle Avengers. We turn each spool of filament into 400-700 whistles which we send out into the world. Sponsor whistles in your favorite colors!

Impeaching Noem is not enough. Reform is not enough. ICE and DHS need to be abolished. Not reformed. Not replaced. Gone for good. It's time we drop our 9/11 paranoia as a society. It's time we stop militarizing our borders in peacetime.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

More total devs means more total people who don't want to learn another language. And I'm guessing the per capita would be comparable across most popular programming languages.

PowerShell?? I'm sorry... but even with all my love for PS and the PS community, one of my long-time critiques is that so many PowerShellers refuse to learn any other languages... I think what you are seeing is the most popular programming language having the same problem as all others.

I'll venture a guess that you could swap JavaScript with other languages and get similar answers. Are you suggesting there is something specific to JS devs?

Anything less than "Abolish ICE" is the fascist position. ICE must go.

More PS help topics than man pages? I don't think that is right. There are man pages for most Linux user commands, library functions, system calls, etc. Just look at linux.die.net/man/ and see how insane it is. Even with auto-gen help on helpless cmdlets, I think man wins.

Yea.. in this context it can be annoying.. but.. I also have a hard time remembering people's names right after they tell me, despite all efforts not to. I give a little grace for those things. but, if it persists after multiple corrections, I wouldn't look kindly on it.

But I also understand why this bothers others, and I will correct people who use others' incorrect pronouns. I'm not advocating that everyone take my position, just sharing where I personally landed.

It used to bother me. I've given up. I switched to specifying any/any and let people use the pronouns they want for me. I don't think most people were being malicious about it, they just find it hard not to use he/him for someone with a beard... no matter what clothing or makeup I may have on. /1
