The majority of the protest remains in front of the District Courthouse. Activists lead chants RevCom tries to lead a chant about "revolution nothing less," leading to another fight. "Who are you here for? Stop talking over me! I'm not here to listen to you!" I hate it here

Praying for gas at this point honestly

#WallofMoms has taken position in front of the fence Immediately, the feds make an announcement. Can't hear it over the boos

They keep doing the spotlight thing. Is it a way to make us look up so they can photograph us? A distraction? Or are they just bored? My money's on bored

An announcement from the feds during the fight. As usual, I couldn't hear it but you hear one fed announcement, you've heard 'em all

With 0 warning: gas. Just one or two canisters No sign of actual troops yet but I'm sure it's coming An LRAD announcement

Feds emerge. The crowd backs up, hunkers down

A barrage of pepper balls and then the feds disappear back inside. Protesters offer eye wash. No one seriously hurt

The crowd chants George Floyd's name. Protesters occasionally bang on the fence with shields

And another fed announcement, this time admonishing against climbing the fence or entering federal property "They're talking to me!" The guy sitting on the fence shouts. "Where are they? Black Lives Matter!"

Chanting "Fuck Ted Wheeler" at the feds as though the feds don't hate him as much as we do

I just noticed the RevCom banner is gone. I guess it's past their bedtime. The revolution will occur before midnight or it won't occur at all

The sound of breaking glass. A small fire on the concrete inside the fence

Protesters yell at the roof cops. "Hey, since you aren't busy could you cut me another stimulus check?"

The crowd is starting to thin a bit. I too hear the siren call of bed. I'm no longer used to waiting until 1 or 2 AM to get fucked up. This is old school

Periodic fireworks inside the fence. That's it. That's the whole tweet

The only thing that's happening other than fireworks is that the roof cops continue to shine the spotlight on us. Are they taking pictures? What is this nonsense?

A barrage of pepper balls, as always suddenly and without warning

A little bit of gas at the middle of the fence

The feds warm that if the crowd continues to throw fireworks they will be subject to arrest and crowd control munitions They then tell us not to "injure" the fence. Hand to God

Someone throws a pillow over the fence and the feds respond with a barrage of spicy pepper balls Yes, a pillow Yes, really It's totally arbitrary around here

It has begun. The feds emerge and gas everyone. Almost immediately, a shield wall forms. The feds shoot pepper balls and gas. A few protesters throw fireworks Unlawful assembly declared

Feds inside again. The crowd has thinned considerably There will probably be more action tonight but there's just not enough people here for it to be anything but a rout I think it's bedtime Solidarity to everyone still out here!
