💯 Agree
Right, but ICE has been doing this for a while. It’s bad, but it’s not new. As far as I’m aware, ICE hasn’t brandished or used live rounds in close quarters (as in this picture) yet.
I think the distinction is important because if ICE starts using live rounds on protesters, people are going to start retaliating with live rounds. Then we’re in full-on mask-off civil war territory, no more pretending. Blurring that distinction is playing with fire, IMO.
I meant that they are referred to by the same phrases, fucking christ.
I’m well aware of that.
The point is that this title is bait. ICE has been pointing (and shooting) at peoples’ faces all year with rubber bullets, tear gas, and other crowd control weapons. This title makes it sound as if they’re waving live rounds around in this picture.
If that distinction doesn’t matter to you, then you are free to happily go about your day without giving it a second thought.
Same thing.
Please read the image description:
A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent points a crowd control weapon at a protester Tuesday
It’s not a real gun with live ammunition as the post title subtly implies.
“Non-lethal” weapons to the face are still not good, but police and ICE have been doing this for a while. It’s not new.

Chicago@midwest.social•Christian values? ICE shoot pastor with pepper-spray projectileEnglish
8·2 months agoIf you ask some of those “Christians”, the priest isn’t really a Christian because he’s a Catholic. Anti-catholicism runs deep with some of these groups.
Edit: He’s Presbyterian, not sure if that makes it better or worse

I miss Vine. Sad that Twitter strangled it while the memes were still good.

Ascrod@midwest.socialtoTechnology@midwest.social•Microsoft mandates a return to officeEnglish
22·3 months agoThey’re asking for 3 days per week but not the full 5. This is pretty in line with the “new normal” compromises that most businesses are asking of knowledge workers these days.
In my opinion/experience, in-person group collaboration can be very helpful, so I can see the argument for it. But, I think it should flexible and not be required by an arbirary number of in-person days. Maybe 1 regular day per week at minimum. Maybe.
I’m in office 3 days a week and honestly most of the time it’s a waste of my commute time because my teams are remote anyway. My work does provide incentives to come in on occasion (periodic lunches for example) which is nice if I can/want to make it.
