Activists with "Shut Down DC" and the Sunrise Movement used strobe lights, instruments and chants to "wake up Lindsey Graham" outside the senator's house in Washington D.C. to demand he not confirm a replacement for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court until after the 2021 Inauguration. Some of the activists tried to enter Senator Graham's front yard and knock on the door. Police formed a line preventing most from doing so, and forced one protester who got through off the yard. They did not make arrests. "He said, 'Use my words against me!'" chanted the activists, referencing Graham's allusion to a situation like this when he was defending not confirming Merrick Garland in 2016. "I want you to use my words against me," Graham said during a senate hearing in 2016. "If there's a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let's let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination." Activists held a banner reading "We Can't Sleep So Neither Should Lindsey" while loudly playing back a recording of his own words from 2016. “In the spirit of RBG, we will not allow a double standard in how our Congress deals with late-term Supreme Court appointments,” said Aura Angelica, an organizer with Sunrise DC. “Senator Graham told us he wouldn’t allow a Supreme Court nominee during an election year-- he told us to use his words against him if a seat opened up this late in the game-- we’re here today, doing just that.” "We're using your words against you," wrote an activist in sidewalk chalk in front of the senator's home. Inspector Robert Glover of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Special Operation Division told an organizer that the protest outside Senator Graham's house was in violation of DC's "Residential Tranquility Act" and that they'd begin arresting if they didn't leave. He specifically added he'd arrest media at the event as well. MPD Lieutenant Jason Bagshaw used an amplifier in Inspector Glover's call to issue a first warning to the protesters threatening arrest. "We will not compromise with a simple-minded racist" an activist replied. After Lieutenant Bagshaw issued a second arrest warning and ordered protesters to leave southbound, they briefly marched north toward the police, but then turned around leaving the way police told them to. "You can't stop the revolution!" they chanted. "No justice, no peace!" "We need a new court," an organizer said as the group marched to the Supreme Court. "We need a court that actually has term limits." "Expand the court! Expand the court!" the group chanted. Before wrapping, organizers read out the home address of Kansas Senator Pat Roberts in Alexandria, Virginia, and suggested that he or ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubhxitBYHY0

The annual Women's March was held today in Washington DC, where participants struggled to remove anti-abortion counter-protesters who often got inside the march itself. "Pro-life is a lie, you don't care if people die!" they chanted. As the event began, one anti-abortion activist was blocked as he tried to move into the rally. He ended up on the ground. "Nobody touched you!" activists said before the man went to the police, with whom he stepped aside. "Let their hearts beat!" chanted anti-abortion activists as abortion activist Derek Torstensond held a sign reading "Be Gay, Fund Abortion." Police stepped in between the two sides to form a line. As the Women's March proceeded, anti-abortion counter-protesters marched inside the event itself, causing some confusion and frustration. "We've gotta keep chanting, we've gotta be louder!" than them an organizer told the crowd. "Pro-life is a lie, they don't care if people die!" chanted Women's March participants as they arrived at the White House. "Show me what democracy looks like! This is what democracy looks like!" "We've gotta tell Joe Biden to get his hands off our bodies!" a speaker said before leading chants of "I believe that we will win!"
