@inthehands@hachyderm.ioWell, 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.

@inthehands@hachyderm.io‼️ Twin Cities residents‼️
Citywide vigil, on every block
7:00pm tonight
There is no central gathering location, to prevent further ICE / DHS targeting. Vigil location is wherever you are.
Please contact your nearby neighbors now and spread the word. We want the whole city showing up. This has to end.

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioI’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.
