>"They also point to GitHub's 2020 contracts with ICE, the controversial and violent immigration police here in the United States."

No one cared when Obama used ICE for 8 yrs. If Hillary was using ICE no one would care. People care because the media told them to.

ICE being ordered to cause mass lawless havoc inside cities far from the border is a choice. Instituting intentionally cruel policies within ICE is a choice.

The idea of removing all detail so that the average bystander says an apple is the same as an orange is a common partisan political trick these days and it's a crying shame to her to fight this silly illogical pablum day after day.

(That said, I'm not boycotting GitHub because of ICE, despite my firm position that ICE and DHS should be disbanded and replace with enforcement mechanisms similar to the ones we used before these very new and agencies filled with thugs. We also need accountability and prosecution for the criminals that fill the ranks of ICE and CBP. Boycotting GitHub isn't my cup of tea for accomplishing that)

You are both right tho, US government has a long history of systemic oppression, and the current administration is escalating the cruelty and violence directed at workers in the US, the media is only reporting what can no longer be ignored. People should care.
