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.
Documentary video thread: The New York Young Republican Club led a vigil for Charlie Kirk Friday night in New York City.
Bishop Nektarios of Diokleia led mourners in prayer: "May the God of all consolation embrace his wife and children with tender mercy and grant them strength in this hour of sorrow."
"That bullet did not kill Charlie Kirk. It made him immortal forever, a martyr in our movement!" said NYYRC President Stefano L. Forte. "We are all Charlie Kirk Now!"
2) "In Charlie Kirk's memory, let's make sure we keep free speech alive!" said Republican Mayoral candidate Curtis Silva. "Let it not be in vain!"
3) "He honestly was one of the reasons that I actually woke up and learned how to think for myself," one mourner says of Charlie Kirk.
Others praised Kirk primarily for his dialogues with college students.
Just now: Activists demanding Trump’s impeachment and release of Epstein files enter Marjorie Taylor Greene’s office along with journalist Don Lemon.
They are told to leave, door slammed behind them, and a Capitol officer arrived to tell them to lower the volume, but no arrests.
2) Activists entered office of Rep. Joaquin Castro to demand he files articles of impeachment on President Trump. @JessicaDenson07 tells him not to wait until midterms.
Journalist Don Lemon complimented office staff for being polite and offering water, unlike Greene's office.
3) Anti-Trump activists slide flyers showing President Trump with Jeffrey Epstein under the door of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene's office.
4K VIDEO THREAD: Federal agents, many wearing masks, oversaw a vehicle checkpoint in the Ivy City neighborhood of Washington DC, part of President Trump's federal takeover of law enforcement functions in the capital city.
Drivers were directed to either carry on or move into one of two lanes where they'd be detained. Several were issues citations for infractions like window tint, while at least four were handcuffed, of which at least three were taken away by police.
Washington DC's MPD officers performed most of the frontline enforcement, while the feds oversaw the operation, assisted, and communicated by phone.
2) "Unconstitutional, go fuck yourselves," a driver yelled after being allowed through the checkpoint without being pulled over.
"Get him, he's on his phone!" fruitlessly yelled an MPD officer in response.
"You lost him!" I noted to the cop, who replied "that was a good one."
3) An unmarked vehicle was pulled into the line for those detained for further investigation.
When it turned out there was a uniformed police officer in the car, he was promptly let through.
Some other drivers were removed from their cars and put in handcuffs. The reasons for most arrests were not immediately clear to onlookers.
3) The posts Stinson allegedly wrote that the FBI say constituted criminal threats against President Trump go all the way back to 2020, and continue on X (then Twitter) until 2022.
VIDEO THREAD: Anti-ICE protesters gathered again outside the loading bay of a federal building in downtown LA on Thursday evening, where police declared an unlawful assembly.
Officers pushed into the crowd, firing a less lethal round and arresting at least one person.
2) A man (not clear to me which agency) pointed a scoped rifle directly into the crowd of protesters and press as police threatened arrest.
The activists celebrated a small victory as a judge temporarily enjoined the National Guard from being deployed at Trump's directive without California's executive approval, a decision which has since been overturned.
Some activists, but one in particular, vehemently instructed the crowd to obey the order to leave, which ultimately fragmented the crowd.
3) A handful of protesters ended up inside of a kettle formation, which closed in on and arrested them.
Two vehicles adorned with pro-immigrant and pro-Palestine symbols were also towed from inside the kettle.
