    Moments ago, a group of New York Black Lives Matter protesters marched into DC across the busy Key Bridge. After walking for 8 straight days from NYC, they say they’re here to confront white supremacy at tomorrow.

    Moments after this, Cville city councilman stepped in, spoke with police, and defused what could have been an ugly situation.

    Now police in riot gear are massing. I heard one say through a bull horn that they're declaring an unlawful assembly -- step they have to take to clear the area. Officers getting chemical weapons ready

    Things are mostly as usual outside the White House right now. A lotta camera people around waiting for anything to happen, but only a couple signs pertaining to . A few anti-Trump activists and some pro-life activists are out here in unrelated demos.

    A quietist day on Charlottesville’s heavily barricaded and guarded downtown mall, but there are still people sipping mimosas, drinking wine. Two women have a “Love not hate!” sign propped up on the table as they eat.

    A view of the Washington Hebrew Congregation tonight, which hosted a multifaith candlelight vigil to inspire love and peace in the protests on Sunday. At one point, Rev. Barber spun the name “Unite the Right” into a call to action - “unite for what is right.”

    The latest . This is the exact spot where the alt-right will be rallying in two days - tonight, it’s an anti-Trump rally with sharks and live music. – at The White House

    So I did a writeup including the full video of my run-in with neo-Nazi Patrick Little, who apparently now plans to run for president as a Democrat after a failed run for senate as a Republican.

    Little (calling himself a "Nationally Social Democratic American Patriot" 🤔) asked people to "name a country that hasn't expelled the Jews." Uh, well...

    Neo-Nazi Patrick Little is in DC (weird, since he's supposedly denouncing Unite the Right). He unexpectedly showed up minutes ago near the Occupy Lafayette protest, parading.......this sign around: (📷: )

    There have been a half-dozen white supremacist rallies in D.C. over the last four decades. And one constant: very few actual white supremacists and lots of counter-protesters.

    Permit news from NPS: Kessler’s permit is confirmed. ANSWER Coalition also approved (as and I reported last night). The Freedom Plaza event was issued a permit yesterday, which is looking to be the biggest.

    At a briefing, Chief Newsham is talking about lessons learned from Cville. He says LEO’s approach is to keep both sides separate and avoid confrontation, monitoring arrival routes for Kessler’s group. Won’t be easy with loads of moving parts in such a small area.
