VIDEO THREAD: On Monday, supporters of January 6 defendants held a Memorial Day march from the Capitol to DC Jail for Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force Veteran killed on J6.
"Ashli Babbitt!" chanted the crowd, which included her mother, Micki Witthoeft.
"Anarchy Princess" made fun of the mother of Robert Gieswein, a January 6 defendant that plead guilty and had a pouch that said "My Mom Thinks I’m Special" on his vest: "What a stupid book bag to wear while you insurrect the Capitol."
As the Ashli Babbitt Memorial Day march got closer to the DC Jail, Anarchy Princess shouted through the megaphone that there's "Terrorists coming through your neighborhood!"
"Go home and worry about your son," livestreamer Anarchy Princess said to Ashli Babbitt's mother Micki Witthoeft. "Go home and take care of your one baby who's not dead or in prison."
Outside the DC Jail last night, January 6 defendant supporters held signs portraying both Ashli Babbitt and USCP Officer Brian Sicknick as "Murdered by Capitol Police."
Counter-protesters stood on the other side of a blue wall apparently erected earlier by the Trump supporters.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
A man on the pro-J6 side tried to offer a slice of pizza across the barrier to the counter-protest side outside the DC jail.
Counter-protesters rejected the pizza and one called him an "Uncle Tom-ass [N-word]" and "House [N-word]" a few times.
James Burton McGrew, a January 6er and Marine veteran who pleaded guilty and was recently sentenced to 78 months, called into the protest at the DC jail. "Through peace and love and compassion, we can take back our country" he said.
"[Former USCP Officer] Officer Michael Fanone lied to the J6 committee when he said he was pulled out from the Lower West Terrance Entrance Tunnel Entrance 250 feet, which is impossible" accused Tommy Tatum (who was at J6 himself), while speaking on the phone with January 6… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The January 6 defendant supporters closed their event outside the DC Jail last night by singing The Star-Spangled Banner in sync with the defendants inside, a tradition they do ever night.
"USA!" they chanted afterwards. "Free J6!"

Tommy Tatum played a message last night from Guy Reffitt, who is serving more than seven years for his role on January 6 and was the first such defendant who the government attempted to seek a terrorism enhancement against.
This is my 4K footage of how the violence outside the United States Capitol began today.
You can see the first mace deployed (over the heads of officers, toward the activists) which angers the pro-Palestine crowd, who begins throwing water bottles as officers continue using mace.
A little over a minute into the clip is a flash grenade, one of only a couple I saw used today.
My understanding is this occurred after Netanyahu arrived but before he spoke to Congress.
2) As police engaged the crowd, a man scolded police and was maced as well.
The crowd continued marching, taking a wider route around the Capitol and avoiding most confrontations during the march itself.
3) "Smack Netanyahu in the head with that billy club!"
Activists continued a wide march around the United States Capitol from the West side to the East side clockwise.
Some pro-Israel, anti-Netanyahu activists stood along the path and were mostly ignored. Police blocked off streets heading close to the Capitol complex.
VIDEO THREAD: Protesters gathered Tuesday night in front of the Watergate Hotel (the second night in a row) for a noise demonstration against Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, who is staying inside.
"From DC to Palestine, Netanyahu's out of time!" chanted protesters using red and green smoke bombs. "Shut, shut, shut it down, no Zionism in this town!"
2) "Allahu Akbar! Hamas!" yelled one man through the fencer outside the Watergate at Israel supporters counter-protesting them from inside.
"Jewish motherf***ers!" he yelled. "We're gonna kill all of you!"
"We're gonna burn you!"
It should be noted that it was one lone individual, not the wider protest, using this specific rhetoric.
3) One man dawning an Israeli flag confronted the pro-Palestine protesters directly outside the Watergate.
"You're a coward, you should join the IDF and kill kids yourself, because you're a p***y," he was told.
The man says he's from Jerusalem, but he donates, rather than being in the IDF.
VIDEO THREAD: Police clashed with pro-Palestine protesters Friday night in New York City as President Biden visited Stonewall for an "LGBTQ+ Gala" and protesters demanded "No war criminals at pride!"

2) NYPD's Strategic Response Group forcefully pushed back pro-Palestine activists and made several arrests throughout the evening both attempting to keep protesters away from the event featuring President Biden and off of the streets.
3) Pro-Palestine protesters trying to reach the Biden event ran through the James A. Farley Building, but encountered both police and Israel supporters when they exited.
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.”
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.
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.
"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!"
