If the Weather Channel is in your city, and you come across their presenters, and you can't get the words "We love snow, we love our neighbors, and we hate ICE" on live TV, you're not even trying.
CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
“Everybody Showed Up”: Stunning Crowds at Minnesota Day of Strike and Shutdown Against ICE
Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.

This is so fucking annoying. In very recent history there have been GOP governors and senators in New York, Massachusetts and California. The current governor of Vermont is a republican. There is no gentlemans agreement. If you want to control the Virginia government, convince the voters you should.
