🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care.
I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out.
Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

New Yorker tries to negotiate. But this is a police dept that has a very long history of unnecessary force use. It looks like they’re letting some cars through, but only to get their cars in. Negotiations end and the man who tried is visibly facepalming in disappointment at police the vans.

Attention over to NYC though bc NYPD just angered the crowd with an impromptu arrest. NYPS uses a strobe flash on the crowd. This makes everything worse. They’re trying to shut down the massive protest. No one’s happy. Crowd verbally tears into officers.
