We have reached "your house needs a hidden escape route and a safe place to hide people from the gestapo"
Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.
From the minnesota community on Reddit: ST. PAUL, MN: A sobbing resident calls 911 as federal agents force their way into her home to chase down a DoorDash driver who was just trying to deliver food.

Today I responded to an attempted abduction a literal block from my house.
ICE did not take anyone. We won that round.
But another responder got pepper-sprayed right in the eye, so I ended up walking him to the community center to wash his eyes out.
Remember: Not milk, water or saline.

Alaska officials gave false info to American Samoans, telling them they can vote. (They can’t, due to a unique status.)
Now, the state is threatening them with years in prison, part of GOP’s voting fraud panic.

In a small Alaska town, American Samoans face prosecution for voting in the only country they’ve ever known. They live in a limbo, created by colonial expansion, that now confuses even public official...

you’re already ahead. stay with it. minneapolis stripped these forces of legitimacy (a battle other cities won’t have to repeat). remember they are completely outmanned. their only real advantage is their organizational capacity. out-organize them & the illusion of control will collapse.
I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.
The US Department of Agriculture suspends all federal funding to Minnesota, effective immediately.

So, I said this during the first Trump administration, and I'll say this again today:
It's worth asking yourself, before you try and pick a fight with someone online who is clearly on the same side, why you're doing it.
What's the end goal? Does it help the cause, or does it just cause dissent?

![Screenshot of Claude Code terminal interface showing a migration progress checklist
The terminal displays a dark-themed interface with two tabs labeled "1: fg" and "2: ~" at the top. The main content shows a detailed task list for what appears to be a Rust codebase migration project.
The upper portion (lines 47-54) shows completed tasks highlighted in green, including items like "PrivateIpStackCreate enum," "InstanceNetworkInterfaceCreate with ip_config," and creating dual_stack_nics files for floating_ip.rs and probe.rs.
Below that, lines 43-54 show another set of completed tasks (marked with [x]) in a green-highlighted block, detailing work on dual_stack_nics/instance.rs including IpAssignment<T> enum, type aliases, and various struct implementations.
The middle section shows "Phase 4: Add Types to silo_project_ip_version_and_pool_type" with a file being written containing Mozilla Public License headers and module documentation about adding ip_version and pool_type fields to SiloIpPool responses.
At the bottom, a "Cerebrating..." status bar shows the AI is thinking (1m 30s elapsed, 5.7k tokens). Below this is a checklist of remaining tasks including completing dual_stack_nics/instance.rs, creating version module files, updating latest.rs, resolving conflicts, and running cargo checks.
