Outside the Supreme Court, I spoke to two women with "J6" written on their faces who tell me they were at January 6.

"They gave him no credit today," one says about #MarchForLife. "Without President Trump, we'd still have abortion-on-demand in all 50 states."
"We need a national ban," on abortion, the two J6'ers at #MarchForLife told me. "From conception to natural death."

One says most politicians lack the courage to do so, and adds "if we would have elected the right people, we wouldn't have ever needed a January 6th!"
I asked the Trump supporting women about Trump's claim that abortion hard-liners lost votes by not running on exceptions (rape, incest, mother's life).

One says he's right about political "reality" but other adds she has friend who was child of rape, and "deserve[d] to be born."
Here is my full, uncut interview with two Trump-supporting women who attended January 6 and attended the March for Life today with "J6" written on their faces.

VIDEO THREAD: Thousands marched to the Supreme Court today in Washington DC for the 50th annual anti-abortion March For Life, the first since the overturning of Roe v Wade.

"1, 2, 3, 4, Roe v Wade is out the door!" they chanted.

"5, 6, 7, 8, now it's time to legislate!"
The New Columbia Movement, which describes itself as an "American Christian Nationalist organization," had a presence at the March for Life.

They carried signs criticizing abortion, contraception, and euthanasia, and held American flags with a cross potent in the place of stars.
"Abortion is healthcare!" chanted counter-protesters at the Supreme Court as March for Life attendees arrived there. "Abortion is essential!"

"Abortion bans have got to go!"

M4L attendees positioned a giant "WE DEMAND PROTECTION AT CONCEPTION" banner behind them

THREAD: Anti-abortion activists are beginning to assemble in Washington DC for the March for Life.
As this sign points out, one difference between this and March for Life past events is that now Roe is overturned, leaving abortion policy to states.

For some, their goal is a country-wide ban.

This sign likens it to the constitutional right to bear arms or worship.
Police remove two abortion access supporting protesters from the March for Life.

VIDEO THREAD: Last night, protesters including Proud Boys assembled outside the Santee, CA YMCA after a complaint over a trans woman showering in the locker room.

Video by @AeonPhotoCo for @N2Sreports shows mace deployed as the anti-trans group faced off with counter-protesters.
In one case, a man opposed to the trans rights activists put his fists up, apparently challenging them to a fistfight.

Rather than throwing hands, the two sides then threw objects at each other.
Police in riot gear ultimately took control of the area outside the Santee, CA YMCA facility, where the LGBT supporters danced as the anti-trans activists dispersed.

Police did not appear to make any arrests.

A group of Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU) & Democrats for Life protesters outside the DNC HQ in DC this morning burned a copy of the party's abortion plank as well as checks meant to signify donations that they say the party forfeits by supporting abortion access.
"We want a pro-life Dem!" the group chanted outside the DNC HQ as a copy of the Democratic Party platform on abortion burned in a bucket in front of the protest.

"Abortion is oppression!" they chanted

A lone counter-protester used a megaphone to say that abortion is healthcare.
Kristen Day, Executive Director of Democrats for life, explained for the past two years, her group has been trying to meet with the Democratic Party.

Their group feels anti-abortion voices are disincluded within the DNC.

In a recently unearthed clip posted by TYT (), now-Congressman George Anthony Devolder Santos takes credit for organizing a March 23, 2019 pro-Trump rally in New York City.

Below I've attached my thread from that original rally.
A video by @sandibachom shows now-Congressman Santos confronting Neo-Nazi Jovi Val, who was at the time carrying a Confederate Flag.

"Go home, this isn't about you!" Santos appears to tell Val.

In addition to the Confederate Flag, neo-Nazi Jovi Val actually was organizing a birthday party for Hitler at the time.

Santos not wanting Val at the event he later took credit for also makes sense given that Val was calling Trump "Israel First."

VIDEO THREAD: Today BLM757, Fred Hampton Gun Club & BLMRVA held an armed rally in Richmond, Virginia demanding reparations for descendants of enslaved people.

A speaker described other groups getting reparations including former slave owners, "but the Black man and Black woman."
The armed group of activists for reparations marched into the gun-free zone at the Richmond State Capitol.

@JaPharii757 criticized lawmakers for not having passed reparations already, and promoted the H.R.40 congressional bill to study the subject.
While not enforcing the gun free zone, police approached the armed reparations activists and told them they had to move back toward a sidewalk on account of not having a protest permit.

The group complied.
