News about Friday’s march / rally / general strike in Minneapolis is coming at me from every direction. Temperature right now is -18F / -28C and this thing is still going to be massive. People here are ready to punch a hole through the fabric of the space-time continuum if they have to. Going to be bed. Tomorrow’s going to be a hell of a day.
@inthehands rooting for you 🫶

@inthehands Good luck to you. Don't let the bastards get you down. We all deserve so so much better in this world and in the US than this shit government— truly a better world is possible and it starts with us.

@inthehands Hoping for everyone's safety and keeping you all in my thoughts

@inthehands @rhelune Nope, he didn't, it's really going to be -28°C.
Don’t worry, temperature should be up to about -23C by the time we march

It’s going to be hard for the press to get their arms around everything going on. Honestly, it’s hard to get my head around it here on the ground: people are marching downtown, people are protesting at the airport, people are holding neighborhood protests, people are holding block parties out in the bitter cold…. It’s hard to even know where to be!
Good news is it will get up to -10°F / -23°C this afternoon.

@inthehands I'm actually getting choked up just reading about it.

@inthehands I think, in general, that's what the coverage about Minnesota is missing about community - the collective action, the mutual aid, etc. These are distributed, bottom up, and emergent. There's not the singular heroic figure to interview, no canonical organization directing it according to a roadmap. It moves and feels different because it is fundamentally different than how most western narratives portray change happening.

OK, this is wild
Throngs of people arriving in every direction, signs, cars honking, wave after wave of protesters
…at the NEIGHBORHOOD TRAIN STOP. I’m not even downtown yet.

(I did manage to get on the train. First one full. Then the supplemental bus was full. But next train had enough room! It is Tokyo-level packed.)

This is hilarious: STILL not downtown, and the reason is that the passengers are weighing down the train so much that the doors get caught on the platform and can’t close. We accidentally shut down the LRT system!

@inthehands I’m staying in the neighborhood today but am glad to have at least one person broadcasting direct experience. I’m otherwise getting very little coverage of the general strike and protest.

@inthehands
Honestly, I am in literal tears, I am so moved and so psyched reading about all this. You are representing all of us across the whole country today! Your strength and courage put heart and motivation into millions more! And in sub-zero temperatures on top of all else! -

@inthehands Careful. KFAN's Paul Allen said that these are all paid protesters. Make sure you get your participation check before the gate closes.

Brings a special irony to my SHUT IT DOWN sign
