#WomenDisobey: Arrests continuing here in the Hart building, it’s been 40 minutes and police have only led away about a quarter of the crowd.
#WomenDisobey: Dems are showing up to support protesters. I’ve spotted @SenGillibrand, @SenMarkey, @RepJayapal, and @SenDuckworth - with her baby.
#WomenDisobey: @RepJayapal grabbed a foil blanket and joined the sit-in. Looks like she was just arrested.
#WomenDisobey: Now in Hour 2 of arrests and there’s still about 50 people sitting in Hart. Check out that huge stack of foil blankets.
#WomenDisobey: The last protesters have just been detained here in Hart. Hundreds of people arrested over almost two hours of constant chanting and singing.
#WomenDisobey: Plenty of cheers outside for women who were just arrested. They’re being mass processed at these long tables Capitol police set up in a nearby park.
Re: everyone wondering what happens to detained protesters, here’s some info from a similar mass arrest back in December.
