2nd and main gassed. They just stand there watching They are communicating without words. They could hurt us if they wanted to. Arrest us if they wanted to. Aren't we lucky they don't seem to want to? Yet?pic.twitter.com/bxv3Yja5jy

These fellows inside the fence look different from people we've seen here before This thing about the Feds going home? Kinda feels like the opposite. It's a fucking Baskin Robbins around here: we've got 32 flavors of feds and then somepic.twitter.com/xmldeyCwFH

A commotion at 2nd and Salmon . Gas deployed. By the time I get there the protesters are elated. "Yeah, get back in your hole!!" I guess they must have done their " pop smoke" trick They're off to 2nd and Main, where DHS boys await. I like the spirit of this group
