    How to avoid ICE:

    • Dont be a US citizen
    • Dont be pulling out of your driveway
    • Dont leave room and wave them by in traffic
    • Dont be friendly and tell them “I’m not mad at you”

    Nice screenshot of a mouse pointer.

    Post needs accessibility: post's URL field can be filled in.

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

    • 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
    • web connectivity
      • we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
      • we can’t explore wider context of the original message
    • authenticity: we don’t know the image hasn’t been tampered
    • 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.

    “In today’s news, another us citizen of non-pale complexion was arrested by ICE, despite being married and working here for 20+ years.”

      “Don’t be a minority” is a rule so deeply ingrained in their ethos they think it’s universally understood already.

    Even after ICE detains or even deports (or murders) US citizens and legal residents, they still have the nerve to say this.

    “Sounds like my friends and I can show up at your door in fake ICE outfits and make your gargle on our balls. And if you refuse, we’ll beat your ass, and you won’t do anything about it.”

    Step 1, everyone is illegal except for the people that were already here if you wanna get technical.

    Step 2, maybe ICE shouldn’t attack us, it’s self defense from the very beginning

    Step 3, oh boy. Maybe ICE and supporters should do a better job at following those laws and not take orders from a guy with 37+ felonies.

    Food for thought unless you’re to dumb to eat

      Fuck that. Your complacency, and that of those who think like you, are half the reason we’re in this place. It’s like telling a woman being beaten by her husband to just shut up and do what her husband says and he won’t hurt her. Sheep and cowards think this way.

      My apologies. I spent too long on social media today and obviously needed a break.
