[Equinox Moon]

13. #BlackLivesMatter still leading the biggest #inauguration blockade

DisruptJ20✊ @DisruptJ20
#BlackLivesMatter still leading the biggest #inauguration blockade. People of all colors join them to condemn Trump's bigotry.

[MaeScott]

15. Kicked.

[truebluegreen]

16. Interesting:

They have been there for how long? and yet there doesn't seem to be an overwhelming flood of people trying to get past them. How odd.

[bigtree]

17. Trump supporters practically outnumbered as far as activists go

#DisruptJ20✊ @DisruptJ20
Trump thugs try to push through the line, easily repelled

#DisruptJ20 ✊ ?@DisruptJ20 18m18 minutes ago
Weak Trump contingent flops around our blockade, but there just aren't enough of them to do anything... Sad!



#DisruptJ20 ✊ ?@DisruptJ20 4m4 minutes ago
We're getting reports of 12 motorcycles and 12 bicycles in the Bikers for Trump brigade. Pathetic organizing. #DisruptJ20

#DisruptJ20 ✊ ?@DisruptJ20 3m3 minutes ago
Reports of no more than 30 Bikers for Trump at 6th and I

[truebluegreen]

18. Sad.

Heh. Thanks for all the pics--ur making my day!

[FailureToCommunicate]

19. Thank you for this excellent 'on the scene' news!

[orangecrush]

20. The shit will likely start

The minute he is sworn in.

Stay safe, brave souls.

[rurallib]

21. tears of hope are rolling down my cheeks

they give me hope!

[mainer]

22. Am here in Chinatown and protests huge

Wanted to get in to ANSWER protest but entrance gate backed up. Protesters peaceful but noisy. Fantastic signs!

[Dream Girl]

25. Chinatown where? Sf? NY?

There's lots of Chinatowns...

[mainer]

27. D.C. On 7th. Riot police showed up

And then left, prob to respond to J20 mess.

[Dream Girl]

28. Oh that makes more sense. I'm in SF and was trying to picture that

Just didn't compute

[KittyWampus]

23. Takes some serious fortitude to do that.

[Dave in VA]

24. Hallelujah!

I'm weeping with joy looking at these photos.

I'm getting older and not in the best of health. I'm so glad to see that a new generation of Americans are willing to fight the good fight and run the good race!

I'm just hoping that they will keep it up for the long haul.

[elmac]

26. My mini protest starts

with my Red Soviet flag filling my front bay window. I ordered a Russian flag but it never arrived so will do with big red. Never owned a flag pole but will display our new countries flag for the next 4 years to protest ameriKas perestroika.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

29. The down side to all of these protesters today is

that they make it look as if more people are there for the Inaugural than really are.

Or are they planning on leaving right before Trump takes the oath?

[lillypaddle]

30. Thank you for posting

And thanks for the brave protesters!

[cate94]

31. Yes!

This is exactly the right thing to do. Wish I could be there to stand with them.

[volstork]

32. Kick

[PdxSean]

33. Faux Gnus . . .

. . . will likely report that, but for the protesters, the mall would have been packed with the hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters who were denied entrance by the protesters.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

34. This is encouraging!
