Today in Occupied Minneapolis, it was -22F/-30C with the windchill. In spite of that, we had a thaw.

How?

Minnesotans showed up in the tens of thousands to protest the occupation. In that bitter cold, they marched in the streets of downtown Minneapolis or, rather, they didn't march. The plan was to march but there were too many people out there. All people could do was stand and shout because there were too many protestors to move. Downtown was shut down.

Over 100 members of the clergy were arrested after effectively shutting down Minneapolis-St Paul airport by sitting in and praying in the lanes leading up to the arrivals/departures area at Terminal 1. As they knelt praying, they were arrested by Bloomington police, zip tied, and loaded onto school buses. They prayed for the children stolen by ICE. Many were arrested while actively saying the Lord's Prayer.

Roughly 300 businesses closed to form an economic blackout and send a message right to the government's pocketbooks. We will not tolerate the Occupation.

Most importantly to me, after helping to lead those tens of thousands in chants at the big protest, my wife came home cold, but safe and whole. She came home proud of our city, proud of our state and committed to an end to the occupation. Today she is safe, though we know that every day is a new and dangerous day.

This is our home and today the occupation feels a little less hopeless as we know that tens of thousands of people stand against the Regime.
