Anyway the real heroes of Minnesota are the countless volunteers doing boring shifts where nothing happens. The mom of three delivering food to 40 families in her kids’ school. The dad standing at the door of an elementary with a whistle for hours. The drivers endlessly looping, seeing nothing.
Feb 3, 2026 00:46No drama there, no credit. For the most part, nothing happens at all. No secret agent stuff. Turning in hours at the dullest make-work job of all time, except unpaid. Just vague unending tension. They’re doing it for free, every day, by the thousands, so their neighbors can be SAFE and can be FREE.
It's like my shifts working as an Arabic linguist where most of the traffic is boring. Only we got paid and worked inside in nice offices, even if they had no windows.
Y'all are giving up more than I ever did after 9/11.
in contrast with the garbage bin burner i agree
what about the street blockade and ICE check?
