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.
It’s going to be hard from 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.

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.

Somebody at the City of Minneapolis IT needs to check web logs, and if 17,000 tickets went to 1 IP, give those out at the door -

@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.
