If you spend anytime on social media today, especially on Twitter, you’ll no doubt come across the #ShutDownDC tag highlighting a group of goombahs who think shutting down traffic (you know, with a bunch of running cars) is somehow a good idea when you’re fighting climate change.
No one ever accused these folks of being the sharpest tools in the shed.
Julio Rosas has been good enough to create a thread of the crazy, the funny, and some of the best signs that he’s seen at today’s so-called protest. So far.
Enjoy.

They handcuffed themselves to a boat.
Well, that’ll totally save the planet.
Shew!
So it looks like the Shut Down D.C. protesters managed to chain their arms in tubes around the boat, forcing police to cut the tubes to get them out.

My body realizing it's going to have to chase down liberal protesters all over a city on very little sleep and no breakfast.
