Hard to give much credit to @github for this when they could have just dropped ICE as a customer and really stood for something, like not putting kids in cages or forcing hysterectomies on women. It’s a vanity fix for broken leadership. https://t.co/rMSp6gppM0

Github still contracts with ICE. Their parent company, Microsoft, still contracts with ICE. This month ICE deported a key witness in a sexual assault case, and a whistleblower said women have been sterilized against their will in ICE detention. https://t.co/3MDlheB8HB
