In case you didn’t see it in the news today, O(10000s) came to the streets in Minneapolis to protest the federal occupation with a regional strike. Many local businesses shut down.
Only mentioning this since it seems that media downplayed the event or chose to not cover it (fly-over country after all).
Also worth noting: getting and sustaining a crowd this large at -28°C outside (don’t let the clear skies confuse you) is rather notable for the social barometer.

And it appears things are going to reignite very badly: Ca. seven ICE agents beat down a man onto the ground, pistol whipped him, held him down, and shot him several times.

@matt@proud.social Eh, the clear skies are part of why it is that cold. Radiation cooling to the sky.
