I’m back out on the streets of #Tulsa to take a look at the people lining up for tomorrow’s rally. The die-hard Trump supporters who were here yesterday have been pushed back a couple blocks, and now tall fencing surrounds the perimeter where lines will officially form. ImageImageImageImage
Only armed person I see out here so far is a street preacher. These guys are common fare at big political events, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one pack heat before. ImageImageImage
Hey guys the Uber is here

(Just kidding) Image
This guy - who I actually interviewed in DC at the 2019 July 4 event - is out here in Tulsa to support Trump as well.

He brought some of his custom shirts with him. ImageImageImageImage
Signs reading “FUCK DJT!” are placed across the Adams Apartment Building, which directly overlooks the beginning of the line for Trump’s rally tomorrow. ImageImage
One person is holding a “FAKE NEWS ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE” sign directly across from the booth set up by NBC.
The rally starts in a little over 24 hours. Here’s the line so far.

#TulsaTrumpRally #TulsaBlockParty #Tulsa
There’s one “Black Lives Matter” person here and a supporter of hers, but media seems more interested in her than the Trump people do.

A couple of anti-Trump photographers showed up, and some kind of dispute happened (misssed the beginning.)

Trump supporter ended up producing a baton. Some other Trump supporters tried to de-escalate.
The Trump supporters called over some cops to report the person who was taking pictures. Police asked him if he’s feeling threatened, then suggested he leave.
A guy dressed up as the Mandalorian is here to support Trump.

For the record, his sidearm is a nerf gun. ImageImageImage
One popular bit out here that I don’t think I’ve seen before is Trump “No more bullshit” caps complete with DJT hair on them. ImageImageImage

THREAD: The FBI, relying on the work of a paid Confidential Human Source "CHS" who surveilles from his own vendor booth at gun shows, and an additional undercover agent, have arrested Mark Adams Prieto, who they charge with trafficking firearms and say planned a mass shooting.

2) The feds say Prieto came to their attention in October 2023, when a paid CHS who had talked to Prieto 15 times in the past, "began making suspicious and alarming comments, including advocating for a mass shooting, and specifically targeting “blacks, Jews, or Muslims.” Image
3) At a January 20-21, 2024 gun show, the feds say Prieto was introduced to an undercover agent at the CHS's vendor booth.

By the second day, Prieto was allegedly sharing details about a planned mass shooting attack against a rap concert to kill Black people.

BIG VIDEO THREAD: Former President Trump received mostly boos from the Libertarians (a small VIP section plus 4 front rows) and cheers of support tonight from his supporters (who got most of the other seats) as he spoke in front of the Libertarian National Convention, who on Sunday will be nominating their own candidate for president.

Trump spoke in front of the "Become Ungovernable" logo featuring the anarchist circle-A.

The speech was unprecedented where for a major party candidate speaking at a rival political party's nominating convention.
2) As the Libertarians (closest few rows to the president) largely booed Trump and the MAGA (about 3/4 of the room, closest to the press riser) cheered him, some Libertarians stood with their backs to the former president during the speech.
3) Some context for this event can be found in the thread below.

Trump supporters filled much of the room about an hour and a half before the Libertarian delegates finished their work in another ballroom.

Delegates ultimately got back four front rows.

VIDEO THREAD: Anti-Trump protesters assembled tonight in opposition to former President Trump's rally in the Bronx.

A brief scuffle broke out over Trump supporters' Israeli flag, which led police - some in riot gear - to separate the two sides as some protesters fled.
2) NYPD officers (some marked "Counterterrorism Bureau") faced protesters chanting "Trump supports Diddy!"

"No justice, no peace!"

"Go home! Go home!" Trump supporters chanted from across the police line.
3) "If you don't like him [Trump], go suck a dick!" a Trump supporter told filmmaker @RodWebber, who proceeded to pretend to take him up on the offer literally: "You told me to suck a dick! Let's go!"

VIDEO THREAD: Barely a day after their encampment was raided, pro-Palestine activists set up another encampment in front of a George Washington University administrators' building.

In this uncut shot, you'll see the activists set up several new tents by surprise in minutes.
2) Pro-Palestine protesters at George Washington University linked arms after forming their new encampment.

Police formed a line facing them on one side (leaving the other side open) and pushed media and others with a vantage point significantly back.
3) One MPD officer took a quick selfie from the police line.

VIDEO THREAD: Police cleared the pro-Palestine encampment at George Washington University early this morning in a pre-dawn raid, arresting dozens and apparently deploying pepper spray.

"F--- the pigs!" yelled activists as police swarmed a wide perimeter around the area.
2) Police and DC Department of Public Works could be seen dumping tents and other camping equipment where the encampment had been at GW.

This comes just hours before Mayor Bowser is set to testify before Congress.
3) As the sun rose near George Washington University, the activist who were not arrested regrouped.

Organizers recommended those who the police had pepper-sprayed go home, and others go to jail support for their detained comrades.
