Over 600 faith leaders from all over the country showed up, and I saw pictures of them on social media protesting at the airport trying to shut things down so deportation flights couldn't take off.
Another good thing out of Minneapolis--Bestie KB is coming for a visit this weekend! I hope her flight out of MPLS is able to take off!

I can only hope our city would be so good should it be happening here like it is there. I'm not so sure. The kindness, the commitment, the determination -- I think we are all in love with Minnesota. (And Mark Carney, too!)
My city is showing its true colors. We are a good place full of good people but the media keeps trying to slander us. My neighbor was one of the faith leaders that marched. It was so inspiring. Phil walked alongside the protesters when he was leaving work and he said there was such a positive energy from the crowd. People were handing out hot chocolate, sambusas, and tamales. We shall overcome but dang it feels bleak here.
It's inspiring. And in minus 50 degree wind chill, from what I've heard.
