Boots are not for licking

On Monday, we laughed at the cold. It was 6 degrees and we are Iowans. We stood behind our banner “Honor MLK Protest InjustICE” waving pool noodles and cheering when truck drivers honked. Immediately, our fingers started going numb. Shortly our toes were doing the same. We wanted to let the government know that we did not sign up to be invaded by a federal armed force in our own country.
