Like many events that end up with a person in handcuffs, my story begins in a bar. I was in Atlanta earlier this month for Netroots Nation, the annual meeting of progressive organizers and writers, when I overheard friends discussing how to resist President Trump’s first visit to Trump Tower. I jumped into the conversation: “Well, you call me, of course.” Twenty minutes later, we had a rough plan that we would unfurl a banner inside Trump Tower the following week. I have been to many protests since the inauguration, and I was proud to do my part.
Together with Ultraviolet and the Working Families Party, we commissioned a painted banner that read simply “Women Resist White Supremacy.” Through sheer luck, not only would Trump be in Trump Tower during my act of resistance, but he would be giving a news conference about 3:30 p.m. I knew from my previous work as a campaign advancer that the Secret Service would begin sweeps to clear the space about an hour before he spoke, so the best possible time for the action was 2 p.m.
Unlike previous presidents, Trump’s home is in a public space. You don’t have to sneak into Trump Tower. You enter via an atrium next to a Nike store. Then you pass through airport-style security run by the Secret Service. I wore my banner as a slip of sorts under my flowy dress. It was made of fabric, so it didn’t set off the metal detector....

That’s a good read. It’s good to see the SS is on top of these nutcases. Technically she might still be “sane” but she is teetering on the edge.
Is that what it’s called?
It’s too bad she didn’t rush one of the cops. She’d look a lot better with a NYPD issued .40 haircut.
yes, they would be able to get away with their illegal, insulting, often disgusting conduct in a nazi nation...because they are the nazis (working to “transform” USA into a nazi state)
Oh my gosh. I did a little search and it’s a thing! That liberal woman on FNC is the worst.
Another contender for captain of the B Ark. Doesn’t this putz have a job?
