Exclude multiples dirs with the command tree Where-Object

I would like to know how to put multiple arguments in the Where-Object. I would like to exclude multiple folders when I use the tree command. I tried several ways but none worked.

tree /F src /a | Where-Object {$_ -notlike "*__pycache__" -or $_ -notlike "*migrations"} > tree.txt

tree /F src /a | Where-Object {$_ -notlike "*__pycache__|*migrations"} > tree.txt

This is a logic problem. "-or -notlike b" allows "-like a". Do something like -not (this -or that), a handy idiom to know. Also, the | symbol is not a wildcard character, but you can use it with -notmatch as regex.

'a','b' | ? { $_ -notlike '*a*' -or $_ -notlike '*b*' }

a
b


'a','b' | ? { $_ -notlike '*a*|*b*' }

a
b


'a','b' | ? { -not ($_ -like '*a*' -or $_ -like '*b*' ) }

# no result


'a','b' | ? { $_ -notmatch 'a|b' }

# no result
