Solo pro-choice activist locks down to SCOTUS fence as antichoice protesters scream

The Supreme Court was widely expected to release their Dobbs (abortion) decision on Monday, June 6 but did not. Antichoice protesters were chomping at the bit, showing up in front of the Court. To their surprise a single pro-choice activist upstaged all of them by hopping the low barrier and locking himself to the high fence. All the antis could do was scream and try to dominate audio tracks.

Police blockade of "private" road forces Gorsuch protests to River Road

Neil Gorsuch is one of the "SCOTUS 6" preparing a formal vote to overturn Roe v Wade. He is also in a stolen seat, thanks to Mitch McConnell blocking Obama's last year SCOTUS appointment. Neil lives in an expensive community with private roads off River Road in MD. On Sat, the 4th of June, protesters arrived on River Road but had to protest at the entrance to the entire community due to a police blockade.

Capitol Hill fake abortion clinic hit with paint, eggs

Sometime between the evening of June 2 and the morning of June 3, unknown fighters took direct action against the so-called "Capitol Hill Crisis Pregnancy Center." Graffiti left on the building declared "Jane Says Revenge, a possible reference to the "Jane's Revenge" direct action movment targetting antichoice organizations and facilities all over the so-called US.

Protest at Amy Coney Barrett's house stands up to right-wing media and hostile neighbors

The 2nd of June was Thursday and thus Amy Coney Barrett night. Ms Barrett once literally held the title of "handmaid" in "People of Praise." She was called out for this at the protest in front of her house. Meanwhile one of her neighbors went full Karen with racist trash talk demanding people "speak English" while two videographers from Heritage Foundation's Daily Signal shot video footage.
