A flyer circulated by members of the group Refuse Fascism claims that the group’s protests will be “every night and every day growing in numbers,” which will be essential if its stated goal of bringing Washington, D.C. to a halt is going to happen anytime before next Friday — either that, or just protest on the D.C. Metro instead and wait a few minutes for it to break down. As long as commuters are inconvenienced, it’s all good.

The group kicked things off Saturday — that’s #J14 in protest-speak — by gathering in the street, where it appears that police were on duty to direct traffic around what looked to be a relatively intimate gathering of anti-fascists. They’ve tweeted that they’ll be joined night after night until their numbers swell into the hundreds, thousands, and even millions.
Anti-Trump protests already starting in D.C. "Reject fascism" crew is blocking off 14th.

Someone tell these people they are just disrupting the traffic of people who 93% agree with them https://t.co/tnxfioLC3G

Attempting to disrupt the traffic, that is.
If you will notice, police are facilitating the protest. Traffic is able to fast. Everyone here is fine, Ryan https://t.co/bw5D6x6g3G

Everyone there is NOT fine. Even little children know President-elect Trump is mean and a racist.
These kids hit the nail on the head.
TRUMP IS A RACIST!https://t.co/9mZtw9ciKr#NoFascistUSA@ShaunKing pic.twitter.com/wQ0RxCtd2x— Trump/Pence Must Go NOW—#OutNow (@RefuseFascism) January 14, 2017
That’s a cute kid in red coat; if we weren’t fascists ourselves, we’d find it a bit sad that he only really lit up with positive reinforcement when they managed to prod “He’s racist” out of him.

All they're doing is blocking #Liberals from getting to their favorite trendy restaurants.
