OR, or… hear me out, they could have some dignity and just expel members for harassment.
Cleveland City Council members could now face discipline for violating council's workplace policies. Council President Blaine Griffin circulated an updated set of policies among members and staff. Members must take annual anti-harassment training or risk losing ward dollars.

It's surprising how many headlines today don't clearly state that Trump is taking illegal action. Blocking congressionally mandated funding is illegale. Firing IGs is illegal. Assuming the public knows this is journalistic malpractice.

Holy shit. This dude and his dad own several restaurants across Ohio, including the one most popular with Browns players. He also does fundraisers for Trump and has deep financial ties to every major Ohio Republican and the HB6 bribery case

Thorough, fair evaluation by @stefanoschen of @GovKathyHochul claim that congestion pricing would be bad for "working and middle class New Yorkers": On balance, it's total bunk. nytimes.com/2024/06/07/nyreg…

I've felt intimidated & 'dumb' for not understanding (or as quickly as I wished); the code behind #gutenberg (but that also applies to code & programming concepts in general) 1/?
I give up. I can no longer contribute to Gutenberg… I can’t understand our code anymore, at this stage it’s alien to me and it keeps getting more and more complex instead of simpler. I’m wasting too much time trying to understand what we do.

I've also felt discouraged from making PRs or contributing more since there's >1k Pull requests (github.com/WordPress/gutenbe…), some PRs sit there for weeks, months without any acknowledgement (some are relatively simple doc fixes) 2/?

Notice how lower housing prices & rents are described as "disaster" & "distress" Lower housing prices are AMAZING! For young people, poor people, and families Lower prices are bad for are Wall Street & homeowners, whose perspectives are the only ones represented in the press

Compare this to the way the city reacts when someone skips out on a $2.90 fare. Any car spotted without plates should be immediately impounded.

Hey all. I'm a software developer working in public service and I love it. I want to pursue this career path, and I want to connect with more technologists who work in government. Side note: At some point I'd like to work at a federal agency. Who else here works in government?
