This afternoon, activists with the Party for Socialism and Liberation @pslweb protested in front of the White House against the arrests of #BlackLivesMatter activists especially #Colorado protesters charged with felonies.
Multiple protesters mentioned the Democrats specifically, noting that the Colorado defendants are being prosecuted by Democrat prosecutors in a Democratic state.
One even said that Dems use Trump as a scapegoat for political oppression they perform themselves.

Okay, so another Charleston almost happened tonight at the APD protest in Aurora for Elijah McClain. 😡🤬 When we were blocking I-225, a Jeep drove around the cars protecting us at the back of the group and tried to accelerate into the crowd in an attempt to kill us. 1/6
A man (I believe a veteran) in a white truck saw this and crashed his truck into the jeep, side swiping him and he saved countless lives. The front left of the Jeep was destroyed and the tire blew, but he straightened himself and again accelerated through the crowd. 2/6
Everyone scattered and the Jeep was slower because it was crippled, which allowed people to get out of the way. As it drove away to exit on 6th, protestors with open carry guns opened fire and shot 3-4 times at the Jeep and into the crowd. A protestor was shot. 3/6
I'm back at the Capitol for tonight's George Floyd protest in Denver, working with @EliseSchmelzer. A sizeable crowd has gathered here. I'll keep this thread going all night. 
Looks like the crowd is about to start marching.
Marching and chanting are underway

Well, friends, I’m back at the #DenverProtest for #GeorgeFloyd. Someone threw something toward the cops. They responded.
“Stop throwing shit.”
People threw a lot more at the cops blocking the road at Lincoln and 14th. The cops left. People cheered.
