Supporters of January 6 defendants gathered Tuesday night for a one-year anniversary celebration of their nightly protests outside the DC jail, which just happened to occur only hours after Trump himself was federally indicted for January 6. Joseph “Joe the Box” Verderber led the January 6 defendant supporters outside the DC jail tonight in prayer. "January 6 will be an official day for Ashli Babbitt, and I know this - y'know why?" he concluded. "Because God told me so! Amen, patriots!" Much of the evening looked like a sort of dance/sing-off between the January 6 supporters and counter-protesters. "DC don't like fascists!" sang the anti-fascist musician "Resistance Company" on an electric guitar. "Tommy Tatum [January 6 participant and advocate] is a fascist!" "Freedom corner here, we gonna be here 'til the end" sang MAGA rapper Ron J Spike. "Tonight might be a jail break!" "Ashli Babbitt f***ed around and found out!" the counter protesters sang. "Biden didn't build back better at all," sang Spike as the counter-protesters chanted "Nazi scum! Off our streets!" The January 6 supporters read off the names of those who died on J6, followed by all the defendants currently detained with the crowd responding "HERO!" after each name. They then listed off and wished rest in peace to January 6 participants who later died by suicide. Apparently with a January 6 detainee on the phone, the January 6 defendant supporters outside the DC jail sang the Star Spangled Banner, a tradition of theirs (and the detainees) every night at 9pm. Sirens from counter-protesters' blow-horns were audible throughout.

Pro-Palestine activists gathered Thursday night outside the State Department to yell "shame" at employees and guests at the facility as they entered and exited and demand they "quit your jobs!" They demand an end to American aid to Israel and a ceasefire against Gaza. One pro-Palestine student came out from inside the State Department and joined the rally. She was attending a festival event inside, and the protesters were audible: "I could hear your chants in the middle of the speeches!" The crowd cheered. Racial justice activist Afeni Evans sang with the crowd outside the State Dept: "Papa papa, can't you see what the Zionists do to me!" she sang. "Palestine will be free!" "Free, free, free Palestine!" she chanted with the group after the song. "Intifada! Intifada! Long live the Intifada!" The pro-Palestine activists had been spread out on all four sides of the State Department to ensure everyone entering or exiting heard them. As the sun set, the various sides combined, and hundreds chanted together at the front entrance, "Free, free Palestine!"
