#NOW: Chants of “say his name, George Floyd” echoing across Capitol Hill for one of several protests planned throughout DC today.
Hundreds of people are gathered around the reflection pool hearing from black activists after a short march from the National Archives.
NOW: Well over 1,000 people have gathered at the Capitol Reflecting Pool in D.C. to protest the death of George Floyd.
As I understand it, this is the group that had originally planned to gather at the U.S. Department of Justice around 2:30p.
Very peaceful demonstration so far.
Here's a pan of the entire crowd. We're now on the move. Based on banter, it appears we're headed to the White House via Pennsylvania Avenue.
At the Reflecting Pool, people sang, chanted things like "Black Lives Matter," and shouted out names of black men killed in recent years.
The rally ended but a ton of people are marching on their own toward the White House. Yesterday in reverse, but turnout looks bigger.
The whole of Penn. Ave. is being blocked off to make way, the second time in less than a day a protest has taken this major DC thoroughfare.
The UK Civil Service has deleted their tweet about Boris Johnson’s Dominic Cummings press conference.
Not to worry though, the BBC has broadcast the message to millions of people on BBC One ensuring it cannot be missed!
Brian Hook: If UN doesn't renew arms embargo against #Iran, the US will use its authority to do so
In other words, if internat'l community doesn't *submit*, the US will do so by force. Pompeo & co finally admit diplomacy was never an option. They are imperialists, not diplomats.
