@ShutDown_DC

Video Thread: This morning, activists with @ShutDown_DC and @sunrisemvmt used strobe lights, instruments and chants to "wake up @LindseyGrahamSC" outside his house in Washington DC to demand he not confirm a replacement for #RBG on the Supreme Court until after the inauguration.

Some of the activists tried to enter Senator Graham's front yard and knock on the door

Police formed a line preventing most from doing so, and forced one protester who got through off the yard.

They did not make arrests.

@Millie__Weaver

To briefly address something happenin on Twitter: Infowars reporter @Millie__Weaver is claiming to have had an infiltrator inside @sunrisemvmt who tipped off police and the senator.

The protest was publicly announced, with precise instructions posted online last night.

"He said, 'Use my words against me!'" chanted the activists outside Lindsey Graham's house, referencing Graham's allusion to a situation like this when he was defending not confirming Merrick Garland in 2016.

@sunrisemvmt

The @sunrisemvmt and @ShutDown_DC held a banner reading "We Can't Sleep So Neither Should Lindsey" while loudly playing back a recording of his own words from 2016.

Inspector Robert Glover of MPD's Special Operation Division told an organizer that the protest outside Senator Graham's house was in violation of DC's "Residential Tranquility Act" and that they'd begin arresting if they didn't leave.

He specifically mentioned he'd arrest media.

@LindseyGrahamSC

"We're using your words agains you," wrote an activist in sidewalk chalk in front of Senator @LindseyGrahamSC's house.

Lieutenant Jason Bagshaw used an amplifier in Inspector Glover's call to issue a first warning to the protesters threatening arrest.

"We will not compromise with a simple-minded racist" an activist replied.

After Lieutenant Bagshaw issued a second arrest warning and ordered protesters to leave southbound, they briefly marched north toward the police, but then turned around leaving the way police told them to.

"You can't stop the revolution!" they chanted. "No justice, no peace!"

"We need a new court," an organizer said as the group marched to the Supreme Court. "We need a court that actually has term limits.

"Expand the court! Expand the court!" the group chanted.

Before wrapping, organizers read out the home address of Kansas Senator Pat Roberts in Alexandria, Virginia, and suggested that he or Colorado Senator Cory Gardner should be the next target of a wakeup event.

They added that this could be done in their home states too.

Here is my HD footage summary of the protest in front of #LindseyGraham's DC home this morning. As always, all footage is available for license.

NY Post confirms Senator Graham was not at his DC home when protesters gathered outside it this morning.

Senator Graham has already cut together a commercial using footage (including mine) of the protest outside his house as a fundraiser.

Not complaining, but just for the record: I did not license the use of my work by the senator.

VIDEO THREAD: Federal agents deployed tear gas, mace, and sting balls against a growing crowd at the scene Wednesday night in Minneapolis following a shooting by ICE.

Some protesters shot fireworks and threw snowballs at the agents, many of whom carried rifles.

2) Agents moved fast while trying to evade the crowd. In one case, the feds got into the bed of a truck, dropped pepper spray and had to get out to grab it before a firework was thrown at them, for which they threw tear gas in return.

3) The scale of the conflict was enormous, spanning a few blocks in each direction from the shooting, lasting a couple hours.

Protesters exchanged fireworks and tear gas on one side of the shooting scene as others engaged with police on the opposite side.

VIDEO THREAD: Pardoned January 6er Jake Lang held a "Crusader" rally outside AIPAC Sunday afternoon, throwing (chocolate) gold coins at attendees dressed as politicians and suggesting "their Jewish money" has caused a "brownification of America."

A couple counter-protesters including former elected official Patricia Eugenio demonstrated against Lang and his group.

FOOTAGE FOR DOCUMENTARY, NEWS PURPOSES ONLY.

2) Ivan Raiklin, an advocate for the January 6er's, confronted Lang at the podium.

While maintaining a cordial tone, he said Lang has "got it all wrong" by focusing on immutable attributes rather than "deep state traitors" "based on their actions, and actions alone."

3) Lang and Raiklin jokingly wrestled for the mic before Raiklin suggested that "You're about a block away from your employer, right? FBI Washington Field office?"

"Says the guy who never got indicted for January 6!" Lang replied.

"I'm that good!" Raiklin replied. "I run feds."

DOCUMENT THREAD: Four members of the pro-Palestine, left-wing "Turtle Island Liberation Front" have been arrested in an alleged bomb plot after being exposed to at least one FBI Confidential Human Source (CHS) and one Undercover Employee (UCE).

2) The FBI begins their summary of probable cause by saying that their PAID informant (CHS) "has been a reliable source of information since in or around August 2021."

They say the informant was given a handwritten bomb plot titled "OPERATION MIDNIGHT SUN” in November by defendants, but do not detail any conservations that led up to this occurring.

They do not describe how long the group had been exposed to this CHS prior to their alleged escalation into bomb plotting.

3) The group allegedly planned on extensive steps to conceal their participation in the plan, including encasing their phones in bricks before submerging them into water, and using black bloc clothing, which they wrote down and handed to a federal informant in an 8-page document.

The criminal complaint against Brian Cole Jr has been released, detailing the government’s evidence that this Virginia man is the January 5, 2021 pipe bomber.

The evidence basically amounts to three categories:

-Cell phone pings allegedly placing him at the scene

-Purchases over the prior more than a year of materials consistent with the devices

-A vehicle allegedly matching his leaving the area on that night

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Notably, while government sources have reportedly characterized Cole as “anarchist,” this criminal complaint does not characterize any evidence related to ideological background or motive.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

I also find it notable that the FBI places some of the relevant purchases which they allege were components for the pipe bombs as early as 2019.

While some components were purchased in November 2020 (post election) this timeline would seem to imply he was working on such a device *prior* to the 2020 election being disputed.

Following a "March Against Islamization" in Dearborn, Michigan, pardoned J6er Jake Lang spoke to the city council telling Muslim members "You guys are outbreeding, insidious parasites."

"You will never look like us," he said. "Get the f*** out. America First."

He was ushered out by police as his supporters yelled "Christ is king!"

2) Fighting broke out and mace was deployed on the streets of Dearborn Tuesday afternoon as Jake Lang walked around slapping a pack of bacon into a Quran, which counter-protesters took out of his hands.

"Michigan needs to be cleared out of Muslims!" Lang told the media.

3) Lang attempted to set fire to a Quran, but protesters pulled it away from him before he could light it up. One pointed mace into his face and appeared to trigger it, but it apparently jammed.

Lang accused responding police officers of being "here to enforce Sharia Law."

VIDEO THREAD: Protesters gathered outside the Portland ICE facility again Sunday afternoon, where they were forced back by federal agents firing pepper balls outside the front entrance as vehicles went in and out.

"I've literally had spicier breakfast burritos!" one yelled following munitions fired at a person in a dinosaur costume. "How's it feel to have your munitions beaten by a f***ing umbrella?"

2) Agents continued to fire sting balls to clear the entrance. "We're moving man," one replied over a loud speaker. "You're shooting us as we are moving!"

A prisoner transport vehicle left the facility with multiple people apparently detained inside.

3) A man in an "America First" hat had a sign apparently taken by an anti-ICE protester, which he said had touched him previously. It was grabbed back from him.
