THREAD: As the confirmation of #AmyComeyBarrett begins in the senate, protests have begun outside.
At the Supreme Court this morning, both pro and anti-ACB activists arrived, often trying to move in front of one another for the cameras.pic.twitter.com/EQHkvRsJ8Z

"Fetuses are not babies and abortion is not murder!" said folks with
@RefuseFascism in handmaiden costumes. "Hey hey, ho ho! Roe v Wade has got to go!" chanted pro-life activists, some dressed as#AmyComeyBarrett.pic.twitter.com/AmZxnnJ2whShow this thread -
Capitol Police at the Supreme Court are generally known not to intervene too much in demonstrations like this, and today wasn't an exception. Things sometimes turned into a pushing match, which police stayed out of. I didn't witness any serious injuries.pic.twitter.com/kkwGgLsXgo

Activist
@SunsaraTaylor with@therevcoms and@RefuseFascism explained that she sees the confirmation of#AmyComeyBarrett as a "part of carrying out the theft of the election in plain view." She also says ACB is a "Christian fascist theocrat."pic.twitter.com/4s1hfzy34aShow this thread -
I asked supporters of
#AmyComeyBarrett to respond to the claim from protesters that she's a "Christian fascist theocrat." "Judge Barrett is going to rule according to the constitution," one said. "Every feminist should be on board with ACB's nomination," another added.pic.twitter.com/GOn09tO1HxShow this thread -

Her last comment about "whoever gets voted in, my life really won't change"... is sadly the point. And why allowing this oligarch is unacceptable. And yes. Repealing Roe v Wade would change the lives of millions of women who need to have abortions across this country.
