Ōtautahi peeps - who has heard, or used, the term "Linwood tree tunnel". It's a new one on me, but I quite like it 🌳🌳🌳

They said this couldn't be done. They said, no way people would stop working, and march out on a Friday to protest. They said no city has had a successful General Strike. They were all wrong. This is Minneapolis. This is Minnesota. And these people care about their neighbors and community. Bravo!

Seeing these videos here and on Threads. Huge numbers out protesting
Incredible. The people of Minnesota are inspiring a nation.
A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Good interview with Chris Brandolino on Morning Report this morning about the role climate change is playing in our increasingly erratic and severe summer weather. If you have people in your life who don't get the connection, see if you can get them to listen

What role climate change may have played in recent weather
For years climate scientists have warned us to expect more extreme weather - now, it seems, we're living through it. Chris Brandolino is a Principal Scientist at Earth Sciences New Zealand, formally N...

The tragic loss of lives in NZ flooding events this week are climate change deaths. Media and govt are avoiding the topic.

Leaders and commentators must acknowledge the emerging reality of ordinary summer rainstorms carrying volumes of water akin to tropical cyclones of previous decades.

Read this thread. It'll cheer you up
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
