Baby, it's cold outside.

FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal groups tracking ICE, Patel says

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/fbi-investigating-minnesota-signal-minneapolis-group-ice-patel-kash-rcna256041

So for those of you not paying attention, even as a pretty chill, intelligent, middle aged, cishet, white male, I'm 100% convinced that if ICE comes to my door I will die.

I know some of you may think that's dramatic - but you are wrong.
Because there's is no way in hell I will let them get anywhere near my wife or children.

And that will get me shot.

This is where we are right now.

Rural PA:

So why is the 1926 Sanborn map of Camden, NJ seemingly unavailable anywhere if [...]all Sanborn maps produced before 1930 are in the public domain[...] per https://guides.loc.gov/fire-insurance-maps/copyright

🤔

@ai6yr

Ran into that a lot with our small tree trimming job.

Same with plumbing that's bigger than of like to do but again - small if it's your living.

Seems like there's enough work going around that some folks don't mind the bad word of mouth reputation they get from being unprofessional.

Once more for the folks in the back:

Just because you don't see people posting about their resistance related actions doesn't mean they're not engaging in them.

The Internet is remarkably public.

Some things you just don't share that way.

@steter
Multiple folks in uniform at the Art Museum steps earlier today holding those "I'm a Veteran, not a Sucker or Loser" signs which was nice to see.

Of course that was hours ago.

#Confession I suck at manually deciding combination locks.

I know, I know, it should be simple.

Apparently that's the part of my brain that's broken.

Some of these men helped keep my grandfather alive.

They are very much responsible for my existence, (as I was reminded of more than once while growing up).

This digital purge is repulsive.

@slothrop
All true.

Also true is that my particular upbringing coupled with having been a stay at home parent for over a decade landed me in an unusual position. To quote one of my kids' peers recently, I'm "just one of the moms, but a guy."🫤

You're absolutely correct when you say it's mainly about not doing stuff.

I'd like to add that it's also about 'order of operations'. Thinking needs to come BEFORE acting. (Speaking certainly qualifies as acting here.)

@SailorDisco
I was taking about this just yesterday.

A friend asked why I was "being weird" recently, and I had to explain my tendency to be extra cautious/reserved when I'm surrounded by predominantly female strangers out of concern that my normal nature could be misinterpreted.

Which is stupid, and yet absolutely necessary.

And anyone who agrees it's stupid but doesn't see the necessity is someone I'd advise caution around.

@slothrop
For better or worse, I'm usually in the loop on things. As such, it's always been a matter of how much proverbial rope to allow.

I think she didn't expect to run out of that rope this time, which would explain the increasingly..."frantic"(not quite right, but we'll allow it)... tone of the texts from which this is a sampling.

Yes. Definitely bad tactics.

Kids, this is NOT the way to go about getting permission for a questionable action.

So....we let Allar do whatever ineffectual thing he wants without screwing it up completely, and the #SMU QB gives us all our TDs? Is that the plan?

Uh, no?

@njwatt

I was discussing the concept of "just enough rope" with the teenager at the start of tonight's political insanity.

I worry that what started in that direction may have gone past that.

@hacks4pancakes @wendynather this specific case is really shaping up to show exactly how absurdly some people have chosen to twist their "rules".
