I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Took my youngest out to breakfast for his birthday. The restaurant, in an outer ring suburb of the Twin Cities, has signs up that wait times will be long and parts of the menu aren't available. Not hard to guess why when folks are scared to leave their house and go to work. #FuckIce

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

I like the sewing section. I learned sewing initially at the start of COVID, making masks for the local hospital and friends. Now I've made some bags for magic props and have upgraded to the next level creating custom fabric for magic effects like this one. youtu.be/Qkl5kMUhBv4

I just discovered Antinote for macOS. A slick notes system that's meant for jotting down things quick and not really saving them (ala Bear or Evernote). Does calculations, image to text, and a 1000 other things. And only $5 lifetime. antinote.io
Antinote: Beautiful Temporary Notes and Calculations
Antinote is a beautiful, fast, and lightweight note-taking macOS app that lets you quickly jot down temporary notes and perform calculations seamlessly.

I'm pretty proud of how my "Moon Miner" game turned out, from a measly beginning back in October of a square with only vertical movement to a full rotational rocket with missions to complete as well as avoiding volcanos. @circuitpython.org @adafruit.com #FruitJam
