THREAD: #SwarmTheSenate Day 1: Lone woman of color standing silently in atrium with an 8.5x11 copy of the oath Sens must take at #impeachment trial. 3 Capitol police officers approach and give her 3 warnings to put “protest sign” down or be arrested...
#RemoveTrump Image
In the end, the retired DOJ criminal justice lawyer was not arrested but told she could walk around the building with the oath and share it with any Senators she sees along the way. But still, can’t hold onto it in the atrium. This conversation ensued:
#SwarmTheSenate
During the confrontation, media swarmed around to capture the exchange. Not one journalist interviewed the “offender”. She told me, “her constitutional rights were restricted” and as a DC resident, she has no representative to take her grievances to.

1/7 Yes, of course you're right @JoeBiden. But WTH was that?!?

*Insert Trump Tornado emoji ---> 🌪️

I'm retired #Military, sir. USA & AF w/WH duty.
Well done. But know that I about crossed the 4th Wall here:

🌪️#TrumpChaos Debate: Vet's Take - 2/7
POTUS-elect #Biden: And speaking of my son & the way you talk about the military; the way you talk about them being losers & being suckers. My son was in Iraq-spent a year there. He got the Bronze Star. He got the Distinguished SVS Medal... Medals of Honor - RIP Major Biden

❤️📈 #COVID - A Love Story 📈❤️

1/5 When it seems only despair & fear is in the air, love finds a way.

Today, friends Regina & JP got married. 200 attended their beautiful ceremony. And yes, #SocialDistancing was observed. Thanks, @Facebook Live.

Why today, you ask?... ImageImage
❤️📈 #COVID - A Love Story 📈❤️

2/5 JP has COVID. Thankfully, he's well enough to still be at home but we can see our friend is struggling. ~ Realizing that life & love is precious, he & Regina chose to wait no longer to join their lives. Need a lift? Witness their love here:
❤️📈 #COVID - A Love Story 📈❤️

3/5 The wedding was held in their front yard so a few neighbors could attend--adhering to strict #SocialDistancing guidelines.

Regina & JP's son, Onyx, was their ring bearer. #CutestKidEver

📈 #COVID - A Hometown Story 📈

1/4 I was born & raised in Corning, NY. Ya know like, Corelle Ware, Pyrex, Steuben Glass? That “Little Blue Flower & a Whole Lot More?” Flood of ‘72? During the holidays, an @Corning building reads, NOEL. Now it reads: ImageImageImage
📈 #COVID - A Hometown Story 📈

2/4 My brother is now Mayor of Corning & so is called upon to unite its residents & help keep them safe. Here, an excerpt of his message to the city, printed in the @TheNewsLeader1. The same paper for which my dad was a reporter & City Editor. Image
📈 #COVID - Life Imitates Art 📈

3/4 The Mayor of Corning, aka, brother Billy, is also a pointillist artist. Check out this piece he did way back in 2004. It’s called “Martian Flowers.” Remind you of anything?

Today at the NYC Ballet’s Fall Gala
#ExtinctionRebellionNYC demanded the Ballet use its forum to address the #climate crisis and join cultural institutions to declare a #ClimateEmergency. There is no ballet on a dead 🌎.
@ExtinctionR @XR_NYC #TellTheTruth ImageImage
Silent ghostly-pale spirits danced in meditation wearing dramatic-red cloaks representing the blood of the species that are threatened by #ClimateChange.
@ExtinctionR @XR_NYC #CultureDeclaresEmergency
A die-in followed at the entrance to the Red Carpet. Extinction is the final curtain call for us all.

While shutting down traffic at Buffalo NY ICE office, a fellow disobedient thanked me for bringing #veterans ire to stop #KidsInCages & family separations. My reply: there's 1000s of us. Here's why I went: tinyurl.com/yy3ajlt6
#CloseTheCamps #LightsforLiberty #NeverAgainIsNow ImageImage
Thanks @NBCNightlyNews @maddow and @AP for telling the resistance story. Our #CloseTheCamps action in Buffalo called out the real estate moguls who are renting office space to ICE & DHS, thus profiting from state-sponsored child abuse. I’m a #veteran. I got arrested.

@JFMFofWNY Image
As the Buffalo 9 occupied an intersection at the ICE field office until arrested, we wore on our backs the name of a child who died in custody, at the hands of the U.S. gov’t. And so, 7-year old Jakelin Caal Maquin stood with me to say, #CloseTheCampsNow !
