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.
Journalist @MaxBlumenthal condemned "undead Jaba the Hut impersonator" Bill Barr for claiming that " the Black Lives Matter movement doesn't care about Black lives."
He adds DC Mayor Bowser (D) has demanded that Trump administration act in "more draconian fashion" toward BLM.
Journalist @anyaparampil wrapped the rally by saying that for all the talk of "opposing fascism" the #DenverProtest arrestees are the ones "are the people doing it. These are the people doing the work, and these are the people doing the work regardless of who is in office."
