On Monday, well before Washington D.C.’s established curfew, those peacefully protesting police brutality and racial inequality following the death of George Floyd were doused in tear gas so Donald Trump could mosey over to a church, hold up an upside-down Bible, and, we’re guessing, mutter “You just love this shit, don’t you?” through gritted teeth. If the gesture was meant to deter protestors, it didn’t work. Per the Washington Post, Tuesday evening saw “the largest and most boisterous crowd” of protestors yet.
Among them were Sen. Elizabeth Warren, her husband, and very good golden retriever Bailey. Saying it was “wrong” to deploy the National Guard in the city, Warren told a reporter that the president “is imposing violence on our people,” despite them being there to “protest peacefully.”

Other welcome guests surfaced at protests throughout the country as well. Like this very nice duck, which charmed those protesting outside the White House.
