    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.

          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
                  We are going downtown to march.
                  The march was shortened to about six blocks, ending at Target Stadium, with an indoor rally (requiring a free ticket).

                  The ticket website claims they are sold out. (20,000 seats)

                  I smell a rat.

                        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.

                                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. 🙃

                                          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.
