Police clashed with “climate protesters” at the Department of the Interior in Washington, DC, with some of the protesters making their way inside and staging a sit-in until they were arrested. According to the Washington Post, security personnel sustained “multiple injuries” and one police officer was taken to the hospital:

If those protesters had been Republicans the media spin might be slightly different.
That seems a bit insurrection-ey

This time though we’re guessing these people won’t spend much time in jail, if any.
I assume these insurgents will be held without bail for a year or so.

Or perhaps only hours.
Put up a fence…
