#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.

(Thread) I spent 2017 documenting protest & activism in the DC area. It was a non-stop (ongoing!) beat, and 7,000+ photos later, here's some of the most unforgettable.
1. (1/20) #DisruptJ20, several anti-Trump protests blocks from the parade route. 200+ swept up in a mass arrest (upper left), facing riot charges. Most still awaiting trial.
2. (1/20) Early that morning, hundreds of protesters peacefully blockaded checkpoints into Trump's inaugural parade.

Arrests at @lisamurkowski’s office, another #KillTheBill sit-in. Police already pushing people back.
“No Jones, no vote!” They want the tax bill held until Doug Jones is in. Police warn they’ll all be arrested if they keep chanting. #KillTheBill
Now at @JerryMoran’s office. “Senator Moran, you have the power to save lives in Kansas. If this bill passes, Kansans will die.” #KillTheBill
