This is a very energized crowd, possibly the biggest I've seen since early days BLM marches. It's wrapping around the federal courthouse, sounds of tom tom drums, say their names

So I'm perched up on the Justice Center & here's the view rn of the federal courthouse (on right)

Wall of moms now forming around perimeter of the JC

Wall of Moms

Have you seen the Wall of Vets

Some fairly aggressive fence action rn

And the tear gas begins

Ok pals I'm pivoting to a mission for a future non-daily story so breaking from twitter a bit

Looks like some sort of munitions dispersing the front line somewhat rn
