Today as supporters of Julian Assange rallied outside the Department of Justice in Washington DC, a man ran in front of speaker Gerry Condon, stripped completely naked, and poured instant flame gel on his clothing before taking out a lighter. He was confronted by several people including CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou and put on his (soaked in fire accelerant) pants after attempting to light them on fire. Officers escorted the man away after he dropped the lighter in his hands and later arrested him. The man had "Free Assange" written or tattooed on his body, but attendees of the event confirmed they didn't recognize him.

Now two weeks into a standoff against police and Juan Guaidó supporters, a coalition of activists with CODEPINK, ANSWER Coalition, and "Poor People's Army" attempted a food delivery to their comrades barricaded inside the Venezuelan Embassy. As one activist inside dropped a rope down to attach a bag to, police demanded that he "let go!", and then cut it himself. Police pushed the activists away, who failed to get food up. From inside the building, activist Margaret Flowers yelled that "We're filing lawsuits against every police officer that blocks food from being taken into the building." Activists on the ground photographed the badges of Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers on the scene, but Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) agents, which fall under State Department, refused to identify themselves. Later, a brief pushing scuffle occurred between activists on both sides. "Give them food!" chanted the Maduro supporters. The pro-Guaidó folks responded "tell that to Maduro!" and that they could eat if they leave the embassy.
