Scene from Minneapolis protest, person in front holding a sign that says BRUTE SQUAD GO HOME
My darling wife at today’s protest march in downtown Mpls (photo by me).
It was wonderful to holler and freeze our faces off with an enormous crowd of friends and neighbors. We walked with kids, senior citizens, students, parents, people in wheelchairs and walkers, handing out handwarmers and picking up trash and making a ruckus. Good energy all around.

Yay! Thank you both for braving the cold.
@bencmeissner It felt really good to be there. I rarely need to use my really serious winter gear, came in handy.
@wjcstp I've heard others say similar things. I had to go buy some new stuff, but it's already got a lot of use in 24-ish hours and will get more the next couple weeks, I'm sure.
amazing

(some of) the turnout in Minneapolis today during the rally, despite the double digit below 0 temps
I'll let those on the ground talk about it, but have to say: Minnesotans, you are a symbol of strength and resistance to all of us.

We also had lots of folks covering neighborhoods to prevent the gestapo from exploiting the protest to snatch folks. Neighborhood shops also gave out free food and a place to warm up this morning.
This is a great shot, it includes a good chunk of the protest, and iconic downtown signs for Grain Belt beer and Augies strip club.
A great picture! Minnesota nice!

Brilliant, I love it.
Good mention of the morning protest at the airport. That was hundreds of faith leaders from many different traditions (and many from out of state) who filled the departure platform at the airport. Reports are 100 or so were arrested while protestors sang and prayed.
@wjcstp We saw some of those faith leaders near George Floyd Square this morning. Big group of them walking. I think they headed to Renee Good's murder site from there. Glad to see them all here making good trouble.

Bike Shacking in Argentina
alt text
Abandoned cabaña in Argentina. Graffiti from cyclists passing through covers the walls. On the left is a rudimentary wood stove, to the right two large bay windows with a metal door in-between. Outside is Lago Escondido.
The route passed by an abandoned hotel and cabañas, so I did what you ought to do, meaning I camped out there. This is the only one (out of 7?) that has a full roof and is more or less enclosed. The test have been the victim of the weather, vandals, or scavengers. This one is missing two windows, but they've been patched up with corrugated metal. Spartan, sure, but it was cool to see all the "notes" left behind from previous bike tourers over the years.
Are Bob and Ryan with you?
@wmo I'm not sure who that is?
LOVE THIS, ASSUMING YOU COULD HAVE A FIRE IN THAT STOVE IT LOOKS TO BE A COMPLETELY SERVICEABLE STOPOVER

Graphic showing how 1/2 inch layer of ice equals 7,125 pounds of ice on trees, or 109.5 golden retriever worth of weight on trees
I used to play bass for 109.5 Golden Retrievers
109.5 Golden Retrievers was the worst Neena b-side.
Americans will do anything to avoid the metric system.

Stay safe out there guys!
Tired of those old slippery shoes and shovels which don't automatically keep you steady using a powered gyroscope and a dangerous lithium ion battery? Then get ready for the amazing new Segscoop!
@jer Sadly the Segscoop is IOT-enabled, so right in the middle of your effortless scooping, it shuts down because your wifi signal is too weak to reach that far out on your front yard.
(billion-dollar idea: Sell ICE all Segscoops with the gyro software backdoored and every time they roll out to work, let them fucking HAVE IT.)

Infographic on "FREEZING RAIN VS. SLEET" featuring donuts to illustrate the difference.
On the left, a glazed donut with icicles on it - FREEZING RAIN CLINGS: Liquid rain freezes on contact with surfaces below 32°F.
On the right, a sprinkled donut - SLEET BOUNCES: Frozen raindrops (ice pellets) bounce on impact.

Dear Senator Daines,
The mission of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement organization is stated as, "Protect America through criminal investigations and enforcing immigration laws to preserve national security and public safety." I don't think there is an American out there that would disagree that protecting America is a good mission and especially protecting Americans for the sake of national security. The ICE organization however continues to overreach this mission and in doing so is harming Americans and harming individuals who should otherwise be protected by the due process of law. The killing of Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross provided the Federal Government an opportunity to de-escalate their operations but instead prompted further escalation. I’m calling on you, Senator Daines to stand up for human rights and the moral values you outwardly indicate are your standard and push for an appropriations bill that puts serious restrictions on ICE, ending all but it's most carefully targeted-raids. The Trump administration spent its first 100 days pretending to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse, and then proceeded to bloat the ICE budget with exactly that; fraud, waste, and worst of all, physical human abuse.
Sincerely,
Sam Haraldson

If only Daines wasn't a pro-insurrectionist chud. What happened to our reasonable politicians? Pat Williams, Max Baucus. I guess I'll include Tester in there, even though he leaned in on the anti-Chinese racism angle to try and hold on this last election. /cry
