From the federal militia. When the crowd is large, the feds will stay inside the fence. Inside the courtyard. They don’t come out until the crowd thins down to a few hundred. Around 3am -

This is the best cam right now https://www.twitch.tv/veteranforpeace Things are escalating. The gassing has started. The protestors have gotten very skilled at combating the gas and their tolerance is much higher. -

It’s gotten bigger than blm with the feds entering the state. Yet the core issue is still blm. Not just Floyd. All of them. Breanna and the rest -

It’s unpredictable. If the crowd is large the feds will unload massive gas and shoot high impact projectiles to defend the fence. I don’t know what would happen if it comes down. If it’s later in the night with a smaller crowd, they can defend it better. I think a lot of the protestors know the fence is protecting them. They shake it really hard to agitate the feds. It is the highest priority for the feds. It’s the only reason the come out. They would much rather stay inside and just come out occasionally. -

The fence is protecting the protestors. The feds want to protect it at all costs. They want to stay inside and only come out to protect the fence. They stay inside the courtyard until the crowd thins out around 3am. Then they come out and patrol the streets The protestors have gotten very good at combating the tear gas. They form protected phalanxes and blow the gas bas into the courtyard with leaf blowers. Plus their tolerance for gas exposure is much higher. So the feds have been unleashing enormous amounts of gas. The crowd is chill right now, yet it will likely intensify. I don’t know how the feds will respond if the fence comes down. It would highly escalate the situation. If the crowd was still large, they may feel like their lives are in danger. They may run back into the courthouse or fire lots of high impact projectiles. I hope it doesn’t get worse than that. -

I heard 30% bigger than last night. It’s the biggest night. The feds do not want the fence to come down. They are intensely defending it. They unleash enormous tear gas last night. It filled three blocks at the ne point.I think the fence is actually good for protestors, yet as the night goes on - the energy will intensify. I agree negotiations are important, yet it’s a nonfactor in tonight’s dynamics Here they come. . . -

The fence is highly significant and symbolic. If it comes down tonight things could escalate dramatically. People may die tonight if the fence comes down. A Tuesday press conference is a non-factor tonight. The crowd is enormous tonight with intense energy. They don’t give a shit about a press conference on tues -

Massive crowd with high energy. The fence may come down tonight. Gonna be interesting to see fed response. -

The protests during the day are totally peaceful. It is appropriate for all people to attend: children, pregnant women etc. Just as it’s appropriate to go to a city park. It’s an abuse of power to evoke violence against peaceful protests. That is the bigger problem, wether it is safe for peaceful people to be in their own community. I went to a peaceful protest today and there were children and women just as there should be. I think a lot of people feel the same and want a return to normalcy. It seems that’s why vanilla Biden is doing so well. -

Huge crowd tonight. A new development: there is a wall of veterans. Will a U.S. paramilitary force tear gas a wall of U.S. veterans protecting U.S. citizens? Never in my life could I have imagined this scenario. As well, a group of boogaloo boys came to protect protestors. A crazy plot twist.

Yes. I had a good laugh when Trump’s team tried to capitalize on Biden’s sexual assault allegation and then Trump’s team be like “Ohhh, wait a minute. . . “ ? -

Their attempt to demonize Biden is failing. It’s hard to demonize a guy they have characterized as Sleepy Joe with dementia. So they have resurrected the demon spirit of Hilary. -

This is one of the Greenest deconstructions of misogyny I’ve seen. AOC is brilliant Green.

He also has millions of die-hard supporters that are very emotionally attached to him. -

Welp, the mayor got tear gassed and the crowd wasn’t sympathetic since the mayor had been allowing the city police to tear gas them for six weeks. The protestors have a lot of anger to the major and even told him to breathe in the tear gas like they have been from his police force. Crazy plot. The live feed is over, yet the video can still be viewed. -

They city mayor is on the front lines with the protestors! He’s gonna get tear gassed and he has no gas mask or goggles. -
That’s how Trump’s team would like to frame it. Yet the federal law enforcement is not “working alongside” local partners. Governors, Senators, Congresspeople, Mayors and police chiefs have clearly said they do not want the federal forces to enter their state and will do everything in the power to get them out. This appears to be an illegal violation of states rights. It’s ironic how States Rights and preventing federal over-reach used to be a core conservative Republican position. They also used to be strongly in favor of due process. Yet not anymore.

He’s sending paramilitary forces next to Chicago, Albuquerque and Kansas City. It will be interesting to see if the courts will have an impact. Barr is all-in with Trump. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53507660

Also, framing the issue as a simple personal preference misses the point of masks: to reduce the spread of a pathogenic microbe. Mask mandates is not like mandating everyone has to wear green clothing. The issue isn’t personal preference, the issue is stopping the spread of a pathogenic virus. As well, businesses in the U.S. have the right to deny people service. For example, many businesses require that customers wear a shirt and footwear. They are allowed to deny service to customers that enter the store naked. Similarly, businesses are allowed to deny service to people not wearing masks. -

Laws and regulations are not necessarily fascist. For example, there is a law that people cannot drive drunk. People don’t have the right to drive drunk if they choose. A law mandating sober driving is a restriction on personal freedom for the welfare of society. -
He completely commands the room and has everyone under his spell. At 3:00, the male commentator tries to enter the conversation with one of his personal experiences. Russell spontaneously and effortlessly steers the conversation in a totally different direction - to the crew behind him. They all gleefully go along with him, under his spell. It’s like he has a magic wand.
