We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

How to Keep Tabs on ICE Agents Who May Be Surveilling Your Neighborhood (www.teenvogue.com)

After a volunteer confirmed an officer’s identity, they would alert neighbors to the agent’s presence, and our dispatch team would send a text message to our contacts in the area. ICE agents almost never carry judicial warrants giving them the authority to enter private homes or businesses without permission, so they often wait to make an arrest when the person they’re looking for leaves their home or car. And in every case we worked on, when the agents realized they were being watched, they abandoned their stakeout.

Harboring -- Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii) makes it an offense for any person who -- knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation.

By all means text each other about it. No way they can find out about that.

Obv Signal with disappearing messages... You're still only as strong as weakest link but it's better than WhatsApp or ISP exposed sms. Element better but also harder to set up or get regular neighbors to adopt.

There's also limitations like AI features possibly logging all activity on a device.

Yeah well you can use better settings and/or third party keyboards/graphine/vpn/etc but you're not going to get most people who don't understand threat modelling to see those as valuable.

Accessible tools to make things at least a little obfuscated goes farther than just handing data over willingly, and we have to meet people where they are. Education requires interest in a topic. Start easy and work up as they see the value.
