1. Ooh. I like this 4 screen feed. Thanks!

[Mersky]

7. Yeah, it's pretty nifty

They stream video gaming stuff by day, and protests at night. I think they’ve been up every night since the protests started.

[Mersky]

2. Melodic chanting, "Hands up, please don't shoot me"

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. Bravo!!!!!

Democracy in action!!!! Trump trumped.

[chillfactor]

4. What brave women!

They have more bravery in thier pinky fingers than any assshole, cowardy recon has in his/her whole body!

[Nevilledog]

5. They are getting more organized.

The goons know they don’t dare attack a peaceful crowd that size

[Mersky]

8. No doubt

And I love that bright colors like yield/caution yellow are the moms’ choice of shirt color. It’s so freakin’ smart - is friendly and bold.

Large peaceful resistance protest is the way to go!

[Mersky]

[captain queeg]

13. No Karens here!

[Hekate]

14. Kick

[Mersky]

15. "Go home FEDS, Mama says So"

Reads one of the signs

[dutch777]

16. Great to see America at its best....speaking truth to power!!! Thank u for the post!

Made my week already!

[Mersky]

17. Robert Evans has signed on:

https://www.pscp.tv/IwriteOK/1zqKVekpabDxB

He gets up into the front of any actions. Tonight he’s at the federal building where protestors have surrounded the door where the feds exit to exact their imbecilic discipline and aggression on the crowds.

[Mersky]

18. There's major crowding against the federal building

Isn’t enough room for the feds to exit the building if they tried to. Ha.

19. Moms are leaning up against the door to the federal building

They have been doubly barricaded by the moms.

[Mersky]

20. Ah heck, I step away for ten minutes and now there's tear gas everywhere

Ugh. Have I mentioned lately how it shouldn’t have to come to this - govern well in a just society is all that is needed.

[Mersky]

21. Line of federal riot agents going down the street firing munitions

At press and anyone - moms, dads, new and old protestors. Doesn’t matter.

[Mersky]

22. Words being tossed at the feds

tRump’s goon squad will reply with metal canisters and things that burn.

[Cha]

23. RtX2 TY Mersky! KR!

[Mersky]

25. Yw. Have watched protests quite a few nights

Not sure what I could do from my house. But with tRump endeavoring to cause unrest, well, it’s become clear that I have to start sharing what is actually happening. The dysfunctional response of authorities over these weeks has been ridiculous.

Am just glad others are observing

[Mersky]

24. Clusters of people on different corners of an intersection

Folks are rather spaced apart. Not running, not damaging anything, just standing and watching for riot agents.

[Mersky]

26. Flash bangs and more tear gas

Seems a canister has sparked a fire in the park? or on a median? hard to tell

[Mersky]

27. Skateboarder sailing through the gas

Is nuts

[Mersky]

28. Looking at Greatwood's feed on Woke

Seemed that wind swept a cloud of freshly fired tear gas back towards the feds. As someone in the chat said: praise the wind.

[Mersky]

29. "FEDS GO HOME" 👏👏🏻👏🏾

Chants in the distance

[Awsi Dooger]

30. Hate and fear can't contemplate a fantastic response like this

The same suburban moms who dictated the 2018 midterm are motivated and involved again

[Mersky]

31. "They have straight up firearms"

Evans is reporting that the feds on the streets tonight have real assault rifles. He noted that riot police never carry guns, only riot weapons.

[Mersky]

32. Just heard a recap of what I missed when I stepped away earlier

So, the moms and crowd were up against the door to the federal building and started to push their way in to limited effect. Ever since, the protestors have been dealing with riot lines of federal agents lobbing munitions at the scattered crowd.

[Mersky]

33. Bulk of the people have cleared out

Now the hope is that people can take their successes for the night and not give the feds too many people to arrest. Is the gist of Evan’s last sentiment before his feed dropped out. I think he’s okay - will see if it comes back up in a bit.

[Mersky]

34. And he's back

Over at the federal building. More people filming with cameras than animated individuals throwing stuff at the doors leading to agents.

[Mersky]

35. Hundreds of people around the federal courthouse

And the stream froze.
