The Lafayette Square counter-protest rally is set to get going around 1pm, with reports of a coordinated march from a secondary location descending around 3pm. Stay safe. #AllOutDC #ShutItDownDC

“They are pepper-spraying people and police are allowing them are allowing them. Police want a race riot”

Again, it wasn’t just about Nazis, Charlottesville was about the police protection of Nazis. #ShutItDownDC #AllOutDC

What concerns me most about today is that the plan from #UniteTheRight2 has them marching, all at once in full force onto Lafayette Square at 5pm after counter protesters from #ShutItDownDC #AllOutDC have been building up and assembling there all morning. https://wjla.com/news/local/counter-protesters-gather-ahead-of-unite-the-right-2-dc

hoping the gods and goddesses are looking over the counter-protesters


In a D.C. coffee shop a few hundred yards from where the “Unite the Right” rally is slated to take place later today, patrons lining up for coffee say they feel uneasy. “I hate the whole feeling in the city today,” the barista replies. #UniteTheRight2 #ShutItDownDC
