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.

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.

Well, that was… large!

Not really sure how large. I couldn’t see the other end of it. If you’re looking at video online, you probably have a better sense of the size than I do from being there in person. But damn, that was a lot of people. Probably because the temperature got up to a balmy -8°F.

I’d easily believe 20k–30k, but…I’m pulling numbers out of thin air there. Curious to see some good aerial video once I’ve warmed up a bit.

The tone was notable. Still plenty of witty signs: “Stay salty, melt ICE,” Noem’s head on Cruella de Ville’s body, that sort of thing. But lots of people just had “Fuck ICE.” Nobody was really laughing.

One sign said “ICE will melt in hell.” That kind of captures the mood.
