I am resigning from the @salesforce.com DX Advisory Board, effective immediately.

I joined when asked because I was naive enough to think that I could throw my clout and technical prowess around to offer a dissenting voice.

I was wrong.

I am tendering my resignation for the Salesforce DX Advisory Board, effective immediately.

At this time, I believe my efforts in the ecosystem are better spent working directly with admins, developers, and aspirants.

Thank you for this opportunity.

I honestly believe Christians have a spiritual responsibility to shun ICE agents and make them unwelcome in society

This is different from the moral responsibility we all have to oppose the evil they do, and the patriotic responsibility to oppose their crimes

Abolish ICE.

If you work for ICE, you should quit to save your immortal soul.

Every day at noon, no matter how busy, Johny Merida Aguilar left his construction job and hurried to his 5-year-old son's school to feed him. His son has brain cancer and generally only accepts food from his father.

Merida Aguilar was arrested by ICE in September and faces deportation to Bolivia.

I’m going to need to move by the end of October and have no real prospects or savings. I hate to ask but I have no idea what I’m even going to be able to do short-term until I have some resources saved up. Please, if you’re able, could you help with a donation?

(birthday in two days if matters 🤣)

Kait 🥔 @thryse.com · Aug 13

While I have food now, I’m broke with no income and I am going to be hard pressed to come up with any money to put towards rent or anything else. I’ve just been treading water for a year.

Please, if anyone can help my payment links are in my bio. Uber credit also helps💕💸💸💕

The tuxedo is back. Hard to believe these two are the same species. Just look at our megachomk!!

Two cats on opposite sides of a patio door. Both are tuxedo. The one outside is tiny, crouching over a bowl full of cat food. The one inside is sitting on a couple of outdoor slippers, looking gigantic, towering over the little guy.

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

For weeks, Mr. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who is married to a U.S. citizen, has made clear that he would not challenge his deportation if he were sent to Costa Rica, which has promised him legal residency and guaranteed that he would not be sent back to El Salvador.

But the Trump administration has refused to deport him to Costa Rica, and in an earlier hearing this week, Judge Xinis pressed the administration to consider the option or clarify why it was unacceptable.
