For seven months, the Freedom Corner Cult has held nightly “vigils” outside the DC Jail. These are weird cult parties, where they chant the name of Ashli Babbitt, swill booze from travel mugs and blast the neighborhood with calls for rebellion.
Their aim is simple: free all the January 6th prisoners.
The Freedom Corner Cult doesn’t live in DC. Despite this, they believe that the 1900 block of E St SE belongs to them, and with the apparent support of the police, they have harassed neighbors and counterprotestors, one of whom they creepily stalked all the way back to his van.

A Shitshow of a Shitshow
It’s been a nightly shitshow, a spinoff of the highly unsuccessful 1776 Restoration Movement, which was a debauched version of the trucker convoy (cancelled after one season), featuring many of the same characters and the same problems (who stole the money?).
Devoted viewers know where to find it on YouTube and the #freedomcorner hashtag on Twitter.
Thanks to the brave work of DOA, Biketifa and the Commish, we learned that the Freedom Corner Cult does not own the corner on E Street by the DC Jail, despite what the police have told them in the past.
Last night, the talented trio of activists got to the corner before the cult. Instead of begging for GriftSendGo donations for personal use, like the J6ers do, they held a fundraiser For Jesse, a family that is struggling with ALS.
When J6ers Attack
For this good deed, they were assaulted by the Freedom Corner Cult, who washed away their #FreeJesse chalk messages on the sidewalk and then tried to physically remove the fundraisers from “their” corner.
Members of J6Vigil interrupt the #savejesse fundraiser dumping water on the chalk-art they had spent an hour on. J6Vigill needs to end. Why is DC Mayor Muriel Bowser letting the J6Vigil continue?? #safedc #evictfreedomcorner #J6Vigil pic.twitter.com/4K8FM7a6Bu

Warning for bad language and fascist behavior:
Tonight, I helped retake #FreedomCorner from aggressive January 6 supporters behind the cemetery prison and fundraised money for someone suffering from ALS while doing so. #ForJesse #J6 #EndALS pic.twitter.com/Dy4FKnvAYG

Attacks on counterprotestors escalated to an attempt to scale the walls of Congressional Cemetery, in a scene reminiscent of the Night of the Living Dead.

J6ers Do Not Have a Permit
DOA, Biketifa and the Commish refused to leave, forcing the police to acknowledge what they knew all along – the J6ers have no permit! Seven months of setting up loudspeakers and blasting Capitol Hill with calls for sedition, without any official permission to do so.
You have as much right to that corner as they do.

The police separated the two sides, setting up orange barriers to keep them apart. The Freedom Corner Cult was enraged. They complained to the police, yelled homophobic slurs, made death threats and blasted the trio with lights and blaring music.
The Freedom Corner Cult uses lynch mob tactics to intimidate enemies. They try to surround and overwhelm opponents. Individually, they are weak, but as part of a mob (like on January 6th), they are dangerous.
It takes real bravery to go down a dark, dead-end street to confront J6ers. I salute the heroes who reclaimed “freedom corner” for the people.
@PatriciaEguino @BIKETIFA @JuryNullify420 Thank you for your activism tonight. It was so great to see that corner used for good💞 #ForJesse #NoWhiteFlags #ThisIsDemocracy#TransRightsAreHumanRights pic.twitter.com/GNFgoikj9E

Thank you for writing this article and sharing it, Mr. Flood!
peter parker was a photographer and a web person
Excellent article. Thank you for the coverage!!!
This sounds like an angry 12-year-old wrote this I swear
Lori Arnold actually started the counterprotest of J6. She was assaulted by Micki, the mother of Ashli Babbitt.
DOA and the rest wanted nothing to do with protesting J6. So much so he refused to allow anyone to discuss J6 in his chats.
My how times have changed.
