    Tear down the system that lead to a militarized police force and nation-wide surveillance? Nonono, that’s crazy talk.

      Racism and class war, for example? Absolutely, but those will take a little longer.

    I bet the land of the free has a political party you can vote for that is running on that platform – right?

    When you finally denazify, please do it properly. Otherwise they and their ideology will fester in your institutions like a cancer, waiting to return when the time is right.

      Good point but what does it mean?

      Any move against them, especially penalising them, will evoke a counter reaction. The ideology will linger on and fester.

      How do you decide who to “weed out”? Does it come down to removing all Trump supporters? That will create more tensions…

        At least weed them out in all public institutions. Not like it was done in post WW2 Germany, where they were pretty much all left in place.

          The US doing lately the same after our civil war is a huge part of how we got into this mess.

    Worth remembering that both of the most recent fatal shootings were carried out by border patrol officers. It doesn’t end with ice.

    People pretending abolishing ICE makes sense: as long as the laws in their area of enforcement exist, you understand that makes absolutely 0 logical sense, right?

    You also understand the real problem is the administration abusing authority delegated through the presidency? That doesn’t end by abolishing an agency? They can move resources or personnel anywhere in the executive branch? Hello? Any critical thought anywhere?

    Post needs text alternative.

    Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative:

    • usability
      • we can’t quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
      • text search is unavailable
      • the system can’t
        • reflow text to varied screen sizes
        • vary presentation (size, contrast)
        • vary modality (audio, braille)
    • accessibility
      • lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
      • some users can’t read the image due to lack of alt text (markdown image description)
      • users can’t adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
      • systems can’t read the text to them or send it to braille devices
    • searchability: the “text” isn’t indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
    • fault tolerance: no text fallback if
      • image breaks
      • image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.

    Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.
