Leftists, denied some of their wish list items by Congress so far, on Tuesday turned their rage onto commuters and visitors in Washington, D.C., blockading streets and halting traffic.
WTOP posted a series of images showing the blocked roads and warned "activists" were demanding action from Congress of "climate, health care, immigration and voting rights."
Those include several of the major points of the Biden administration, which so far has failed to make the changes it promised supporters during the 2020 election.
The report explained a contingent also "began marching on Capitol Hill" to demand satisfaction.
One of the team, Sophia Geiger, said the goal was to "disrupt business-as-usual sufficiently."
The report said police directed traffic around the blockages, and at least one protester was arrested for standing in the street with a sign.

Spoiled kids need spanking..............................
Sounds like an insurrection to me.
Petulant children who never had to take no for an answer.
If they didn’t get their own way they throw a tantrum. aaaato hell with the bunch of them!!
Well, if nothing else, pick one issue and stick with it. Seems like there were a lot of issues being brought up from the pics I saw. Fookin’ idjits!
Now that’s an insurrection.
Neah.
They need to be run over until they’re little red smears on the highway.
But I like the fact that they are inconveniencing DCers who deserve to be miserable.
This strategy is called Repressive Tolerance. It is from an essay by Herbert Marcuse of the Frankfurt School in the 1960’s.
James Lindsay has a detailed explanation of it on his New Discourses youtube channel:

It’s really important for us to understand this tactic to impose socialism upon a resistant population. We have all observed this, but what we don’t all grasp is that it is a knowing and deliberate tactic.
I can’t recommend James Lindsay’s youtube channel enough.
I have been thru DC at Rush Hour.
DC-ers probably didn’t even notice them......................
Obviously all the ‘NOW HIRING” signs we see everytime we’re out are jobs these folks don’t want to do. In fact, last night we passed by the local Burger King with a help wanted sign out front of $15+/hr. 8 p.m., lights out and doors locked. Can’t find kids to work. With any luck, some trespasser from Texas will make it up here to do the jobs “americans” won’t do.
I have never had to drive in DC. It looks hard!
No, the illegals are being provided jobs by the left wing tyrant establishment.
First hand report to me:
The Target store in Chapel hill NC, in the bluest of the blue part of NC, has hired a contractor that provides janitorial and custodial workers that are the aliens brought to North Carolina by the Biden Administration. They came directly from Texas. Caught in Texas, released into left wing custody in NC.
They are in the heavily guarded an protected sanctuary that is home to the University of North Carolina. Thety will make NC blue.
Tyrannical travesty.
Even on the Interstate 95 and the Beltway it is difficult at times. Driving thru the city is gridlock................
How is the subway system in DC?
I don’t know, never been on it, but I can guess it ain’t pretty.................
Berlin’s subway is the cleanest I’ve ever seen!............
Yes, spoiled kids DO need spanking & if you can’t give them what they want, then how about giving them what they desperately NEED. I know that public whipping is not allowed in this country, but maybe there are suitable occasions when it should be. There could be different ways of accomplishing this & the severity of it could be in relation to the seriousness of the crime.
they probably all got a participation trophy for being there.
